Wow what a race! Considering I didn't even make the start line before I was flipped on my roof I was pretty happy to bring it home in 6th place.
I just couldn't put a lap together in quali and ended up starting 11th and as soon as we got off the line a few cars beside me locked wheels and fired over into me flipping me upside down. I had no reset car button mapped so I thought that might be the end of my race right there. But I eventually rolled back onto my wheels and got to start again. The pack was already going through turn 1 and I thought I was in for a lonely race but with a few incidents ahead of me I tagged on to the back of the pack towards the end of the lap and started picking my way through.
I had some awesome battles along the way with
@its-benny-racer @Slambobagan and
@Spidey_11 to name a few and we had some great side by side battles keeping it clean and heaps of respect given. I pitted at the end of lap 13 for a fresh set of softs then started reeling in Rhino who I thought was going uncharacteristically slow (now I know why) I felt I had good pace in the final stint but Benny was flying and drove away from me leaving Slambo chasing me down. I had to hold off Slambo for about 6 laps and he finally had a good run on me coming into Ascari on the penultimate lap. He stuck his nose up the inside and I gave him plenty of room as we went side by side through the first section, I took plenty of inside kerb into the right hander so he could go around the outside but he must have taken too much on the outside and run off into the wall leaving me to coast home for a hard fought 6th place.
I was so glad I didn't give up after the bad start because that was one of the most fun races I've had, almost every lap I had someone in front of me I was attacking or had someone behind attacking me.
Congrats to
