I had a blast of a race, not a single dull moment! Found a bit of time in practice after driving shotgun with our front runners and learning a new line through 2 corners and even managed P5 on qualy. Had a good start and first laps keeping my position. Then the fun begun early as I tried to gain places but a silly mistake cost me a few, after I attempted an outbrake maneuver at the sharp left handler but the sand and (proper) kerbs inside destabilized my braking and couldn't fully stop where I expected, hence sliding broadside into @johnny85ac (apologies once more mate ). We both managed to recover quickly but I had a larger loss of places so the recovery work started... and so did a long, feisty stint trying to pass Han @HF2000 ...this track equalised the strenghts of both cars as I could close in at the esses but he would recover at the straights. Robert caught up and joined the party but I decided to go for the undercut and pitted with 37 minutes to go.
Alas my attempt proved naught as Han pitted shortly afterwards and exited just in front of me... And so the battle raged on. The struggle allowed Robert and Steve to catch up and as they joined the fray we started trading places chasing Han due to silly mistakes that costed dearly due to the 'quicksand effect' of the "grass" and "kerbs" on this track... seriously, I knew about "floor is lava" but not about "kerbs are tar". Pitstops engorged traffic and I had a few fun moments with Bouke and Hank, so unfortunate that the tar pits got you guys. I kept the chase on the pack as it caught up with Dave & Co. during the final laps... Hank joined in and we had a 3-wide moment through the esses together with Robert which culminated with a literal sprint-race to the end line, delivering a true photo-finish. It was a blast! Thanks guys for all the fun, congrats to the winners and podiums and Han for concocting this fun race... this track proved to be fantastic for our Multiclass!
I can't recall where I finished but my wrists were on fire. This was my first race with the new T818 DD wheelbase and it delivered more fun and performance that I had hoped for. More than the power is the amount of detail this thing communicates and the speed in which that information is given... I could hold and recover slides that the old TS-PC would be too slow for. It's fractions of a second but enough to make a big difference. I adjusted it to constant 7nm but still have to fine-tune it. Yet, this was a true baptism-of-fire, especially for my wrists, haha! What a track to do so.
And a shout-out goes to our newcomers! You guys did great, especially given the hectic nature of this circuit and the eagerness of the old guard during the race. Keep practicing and keep coming to the wednesday's races, that's how we all got where we are now. I hope you enjoyed the experience. I'm looking forward to next week's event, hope to see you all there!
