Mmmm.... reminded what type of racing I actually, unconditionally LOVE. Classic tourers, served in a tasty package. Tried the Sierra for the first time, loved it. Of course was ages behind Dariusz, who simply showed us why he is ranked so high on RD (deservingly, of course
), but it didn't matter, as always in those cars.
In R1 I was able to battle here and there with Vale, Can and (later on) with Ozan, whose tyres started running out. Got unfortunate when Vale was rejoining in a very bad spot with extremely bad timing and collected him, but he completely made it up to me later on in R1. Some idiotic mistakes on my behalf in this race, but still fun in the Cossie.
R2 was looking good after passing the whole lot of cars runnin' wide in T1, battled my way through Ozan in a nice little battle, tried to hold off second place, but got punted on L4 (not by Ozan) and rejoined behind the pack that was chasing me till then. And the Vale-fun began, sat on his tail, trying to squeeze by, got past twice, only to make mistakes and get re-overtaken. Done some mistakes while attacking Valerio and we constantly battled till the penultimate lap, when I finally was able not to screw up the attack
. Some great, close, rewarding racing here. I will do everything not to miss WTM again!
