2 great qualifying performances and both races ruined on lap1...
Race1 I moved left as i normally do into turn5 to get the best apex speed, but @Taorminator was there and I spun off onto the grass...I recovered and waited at the edge of the track to rejoin safely, but unfortunately @FuBii had his own moment at the same place and t-boned me...limped back to pits for a very long pitstop. Rejoined a lap down behind @miagi in 6th, thought I had the speed to get away and he kindly allowed me to unlap, but i pushed too hard and held him up so let him back past, as well as @kobusnell and just followed them for a few laps. Kobusnell kindly let me unlap myself, but I only got up to 19th when others pitted or retired. Still I stuck at it, such a shame from P3 in qually.
Race2 I qualified in P4 another great result. Got a few taps into turn1 so i tried to leave plenty of space on the inside, but overdid it, got on the exit kerb and almost t-boned Stu? (don't know his forum name sorry). Luckily he got away clean and I only damaged my own race, down to P20 but at least this time no damage. Great recovery drive and I was having a great battle with @Spitfire for a few laps until he went wide at the hairpin, I tried to accelerate away, but he had overspeed on the outside and I had understeer...I tapped him and again fortunately it was only me affected. I lost 2 places to Sonic and @miagi (I think) and finished 9th...I must try to stop making stupid mistakes on lap 1 and maximise my quali position, especially if I outperform like I did tonight.
As always a pleasure to race with you guys, especially nice to hear @t0daY 's Meg Ryan When Harry Met Sally impression... ugh ugh ugh! lol
