Yeah good race but I had what I would call a mixed result, was hoping to finish a bit higher than 5th.
Had 3 attempts at qual on soft tyres but could only manage a time well off my best to start from 7th.
Started great, didn't bog down, had some lag moments with Cyber & Jamie so had to back off and couldn't attack early, settled into a rhythm and tried to conserve fuel as my BMW would only do 11.3 laps from a full tank, came out after the first pitstop just behind Cyber I think and we went at it and after maybe 4 laps I got past him until maybe 3 laps till the end when the fuel light was again freaking me out and my mediums were becoming distant memories Cyber got me with a very tasty move round the outside. He then proceeded to pull away by about 4 cars lengths so I decided to go hard on the last few laps and got to within a car length by the last corner but could only try and slipstream him and then with about 150m till the line a massive lag moment and I was suddenly sitting in Cyber's lap and then next minute shooting off towards the pit lane wall, nearly sliding into the pits. I have to thank Stiggy for being such a gentleman
and actually waiting before the finish line so I could finish behind Cyber.
Happy to be the first BMW home but it was definitely a Merc track, hopefully Blackwood is nice to me for the first time ever and we get the BMWs up a bit higher in both divisions.
Great to be in the same race with some very fast peeps but I think I need to learn how to do setups so I can mix it up with the big boys a bit more next race!!
p.s sorry for the swearing at the final lag moment, time to mute the mic for the race me think
