Practice really does pay in this game.
I was able to get a bit of a session just befor joining hatfields lobby to get a feel for the track.
In quali i couldn't string together any clean laps and ended up dead last and off the pace.
Did everything i could to keep up with the pack and stay in a slipstream.
Had a much better time once i got onto the super softs. Started to get a better feel of the track and thats when basically a race long battle with
@holdenman05 and
@apex2691 unfolded.
I lost count how many times we swapped positions. Very respectful racing the whole time. Was thrilling with you guys.
I think each of us had a miss hap on the massive chicanes once or twice. It always seemed to be the guy that was pulling away too. Lol
I managed to build a gap to almost 2 seconds on them at one stage but went too hot into the chicane and wella back into last place.
Spent a few laps trying to catch up and i think apex may have made a mistake and then i was right there with them again.
Lap 23 or so and think apex made another mistake at the chicane behind me. Then it was just me and holdenman til the finish line.
I managed to squeak ahead with a few laps to go but on the 2nd last lap holdenman did a brilliant move on me around the outside into the right hander after the long straight. He held it around outside and got in front. The final lap came and i tried to replicate the same thing he did on me the lap before. We brake into corner but he braked just perfectly and a little later than i do. He held his inside line to stay in front for the chicane and eventually the chequered flag. Great racing mate. (Just quietly i thought we had another lap to go. so was prepping for another attack haha).
So 13th for me. Was a really fun race in the end, was not expecting it. But i can't compete with the little practice illI be doing from now on.
Congrats to the podium finishers!
