Not quite how I saw it. lol
I pitted lap 20 for the final stint and at the time @UrsineSaturn9 was about 3 seconds behind me and @Xtr3meNZer was about a further 3 seconds behind Ursine. I wasn’t focussed on fuel saving and exited the pits with Ursine about 2 seconds ahead of me and @Vik Chan about a second behind me as he has pitted earlier. Xtreme was about 1 second behind Vik. I lost about 5 seconds on the pit stop to Ursine and Xtreme.
Got past @Peersy on lap 22 after Ursine and was sitting third and slowly closing the gap to Ursine who was saving fuel. Vik managed to pass me on Conrod Straight lap 24 and I started lap 25 in fourth place right behind Vik with Xtreme a further second back.
This is when the train started. Ursine managed to pass @Easyprey007 at the end of lap 25 and Vik passed him at the start of lap 26. I couldn’t get past quickly as Easy still had slipstream (maybe some fuel saving happening at the front?).
Lap 27, after at the left hander after the cutting, Easy hit the outside wall and I saw an opportunity to duck up the inside. Unfortunately, Easy moved back to the right of the track and the front of my car got squeezed between his car and the wall. Although I somehow got through, my car slowed slightly and Extremes car was affected significantly (Never seen that happen before).
By this time I was about 2 seconds behind the leading two (with rear damage) and could only hold on for a third place.
Thanks to @apex2691 for a well organised event and to all who participated. Really looking forward to the next one.
