F08 @ Blackwood

Well I enjoyed the race more than I thought I would, it was one of those combo's where the time just seemed to fly bye.

I was late arriving for qualifying and managed a reasonable but not brilliant time for (I think) 6th place on the grid.

I picked up one place on the first lap, then had a good few laps chasing and finally passing CrazyR1 leaving me in 4th a good bit behind OldBloke.

Due to starting on R2's I had to be very careful not to overheat the tyres, also the car balance was just a bit 'off' on the heavy fuel load, so I was only just about able to hold the gap to OldBloke.

As we came up to the half way stage the tyres had worn enough for the temps to drop down into their optimum range, and the car balance was getting better and better, allowing me to push harder and the gap to OldBloke started to slowly close.

After the pit stops (where I was briefly ahead of Willi, his pace in this part of the race was  unbelievable, and I ducked into the pits a little early to  remove the ignominy  of being  passed.  :no2: ) I was shocked but pleasantly surprised to find myself comfortably clear of OldBloke in 3rd place.
   
  The last third of the race was just keeping a good consistent pace until the finish.
   
  So another good win for Willi. Some more excellent pace from Romus, he is getting far too quick.  :ranting2:
   
  Well done to all who finished.

Well, my first 3 mentions on Dmr and they were all bad, :doh:

Sorry Vobler for trashing your race dude. The reason i latched on to you lot is for the sense of fair play and sensible'ish driving so i do try to uphold that. Sorry again matey.

I did wonder why you went so wide Doorman but you know it was coming anyway, lol.

I did enjoy this one after 3 other races of being the mobile chicane and being lapped by everyone. This one was fun.

Cheers all.

Slider.

Neeh, don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. Just see what I did to Nick only seconds after.

Was a quite an enjoyable race, despite the miss haps.  really loved the combo that week, F08 is a blast.  Was shaping up for a nice battle with Andy, but I pushed too hard and spun it after the back straight.  Then a while later my clutch pedal reset its self, fixed that. then battled back through the pack till the end.  when I get a reliable controller Ill be dangerous :lmfao:

Congrats to Podium takers and participants.

Good to see you high up the grid Oldie, you had some serious pace this combo :thumb: congrats
