Pole lap footage:
Absolutely thrilled with tonight’s race, thoroughly enjoyed that one.
Just snatched pole position in the dying minutes again (bit of a habit doing that
) over Hatfield and Vanzr.
Was a fairly average jump off the line but I still held the lead into the first corner with CAGM making up a few spots and slotting in behind me.
CAGM made a move on me after getting a nice run through the chicanes and passed me into the final corner, however a good tow down the straight allowed me to sneak back past around the outside of the first corner.
Hatfield joined the party and it turned into a 3-way fight for the lead, right before CAGM got very unlucky and snagged the wall at the chicane. This let Hatfield through and he immediately put the pressure on me, eventually passing me a few laps later.
We continued to battle and swap positions until lap 14 when he pitted.
I stayed out on track and pushed as hard as I could to get the most out of the tyres and low fuel.
On lap 18 I pulled into the pits for a top up of fuel and some fresh tyres. When I exited the pits I found myself 3 seconds ahead of Hatfield... The strategy had paid off.
Hatfield pushed hard and was slowly but surely catching me until he too hit the wall at the chicane. This left me plenty of breathing room and I could coast the car home to take the chequered flag.
Just wanna say thanks to
@Hatfield for that intense yet very clean fight for the lead, that’s what we aim to do here
.
Also quick praise to
@skintsaint for your behaviour under what would be blue-flag conditions, well done there mate.
Cheers again guys, will see you next week
