That was one my best races, it must be said. I started in eleventh and then won.
Results
I made it through the first lap chaos, just. I got twated by a spinner and got four incident points. This was an issue as track limits has been a big problem for me during practice, where I was basically getting two track limit violations per lap. I knew I was having to be hyperaware in the race and four points wasn’t a good start.
Anyway, I pass lots of guys spinning, until I’m up in third place. I spend quite a few laps on second place’s back, eventually forcing them into a mistake. Then a lap or two behind first place before he makes a mistake and I pass him as well.
Third passes the spinning leader too and is now right on my tail and at this point I start to struggle for pace. I don’t know if it’s cause my tyres were starting to go off or if I was getting nervy, but he caught me quickly. I then had to go super defensive for a couple of laps, while also passing back markers.
I had to call on all my old LFS wheel-to-wheel skills, but I managed to hold him off to take the victory. As I’d been super cautious with track limits up until then in the last two laps I was able to push them really hard, especially at the first corner.
Phew, that was a good one.
I don’t know what happened in qualifying, my laps weren’t counted for some reason. I thought I’d been disqualified but it doesn’t say so in the results. Thankfully start position isn’t that important in these races.
