So I went back on today to try and shake that bad taste yesterday left me with. Had a few attempts with one where my headset disconnected twenty seconds before the lights were due. Had to reboot and started the race from the pits three laps down. Managed to run low 1:11s and actually clocked a few 1:10s so was delighted from that point of view.
Next race was a lower split and I qualified second, took the win. Took the lead on the first lap, lost it a few laps later and then got it back a few laps from the end. Was quite tense but the fight was fair and respectful, there’s plenty of times we could have sent it and caused incidents. Guy was rated a wee bit lower than me but I think our pace was the same.
Last race I had I was in the top split and I was the last numbered car. Qualified tenth and stayed there through the first lap and then lost it at the chicane on the second lap, tried to make up for it and did a similar move on the third lap. Tyres must’ve been too hot so I had to let them cool a bit and went on the hunt again. Finished 11th. Wasn’t a great fight back as it was just picking up the pieces of others falling off but was pleased with how it finished considering the first few laps. Had a decent overtake into the second last corner of the race to grab 11th.
So yeah, mix of races but overall quite pleased with that. Had to take the close line through the bus stop to keep up. Couldn’t do it consistently on the wider line. Was enjoying the ‘fling it and hold on’ style of that one. 😂
