That was great fun! Many thanks Sven for all the work and sorry you didn’t get to enjoy it,
Managed to qualify at the front of the 911 crew, but had Offcorsa on my butt from the outset. He got past after a couple of laps and I was able to hang on to his tail for a few more laps afterwards. Couple of chances to get by, once into Druids and I had to back out for fear of t-boning him, and the second time I got a better run out of Hawthorns and promptly binned it into Westfields. I never saw him again after that, and it was a bit of a lonely race, only trading places with Fragmonkey during our stops.
Not sure if I screwed up my strategy or not - I went for 2 stops as I was wearing the tyres quite badly and I figured anything I could do to reduce the chances of going off was probably a wise investment. I know I overestimated the fuel usage so could have saved a few seconds in my stops, but overall I’m pretty happy to have managed an hour with one spin and one run-wide.
Does 4th overall count as a technical podium since Minder was in the 917? I’m claiming it anyway. Bring me my flowers, champagne and grid girls!
