Had a great race...much more than I was expecting given my zero practise (prerace day anyway), a 3B win gifted by
@T F Eccles !
I did take a couple of short grass trips, nothing more than a few seconds each though, thankfully kept the nose pointed the right way.
In the 20 mins I got to practise pre race, I found I could get 9.5-10.5 laps from a tank, when shifting at my usual spot. I figured I wouldn't lose much by stretching a little, but was still short of 11 laps for first tank during race. I held 5th instead of 4th in a couple of spots and trimmed a couple hundred revs from my shifts...and found enough to start the last lap with 1.1 laps of fuel...
I saw Colin pitted earlier than me, and hoped he was doing a shorter stint - but didn't notice if he came out on RM or RS. So I spent the second half of the race wondering if he just had pace on me or if he wasn't fuel saving and using RS...still got surprised when he came out 10 seconds behind me! I figured I would play it safe from there...thankfully managed to hold it together!
