My race summary, race 1 from 2nd I didnt get
@andyo450 into t1 but had hoped to hang on and maybe his tyres would go away more then mine. Didnt seem to be the case and I just didnt have the pace to keep up so he got away no matter how hard I tried. My pressures were a bit low but doubt that made too much of a difference there.
Race 2 without setting a qualy lap, I was going to go if Andy went but he never did and starting at the back is usually fun. Got a reasonable start but its not real easy to pass, I was trying to follow Andy through the pack unfortunately got a little tap to the rear that spun me early. I didnt lose massive amounts of time maybe 10 seconds and a couple spots with no real damage it seemed.
Then as I was passing Ian Smee, not sure his forum name and I thought I had a decent run alongside but the door was closed as he went for the apex as normal. I expected some room to be left but it wasn't and by the time I saw him going the apex I had nowhere else to go. Sure its partly my fault but I tend to try leave racing room and assume others will do the same, here is a video as he said its his corner but I still think I have some claims to it and am far enough to be given at least 1 car width on the inside.
No big deal about the contact I personally see it as a racing incident but I would generally make the same move again assuming some space be left. I may not have made the pass anyway but if racing room isn't left then contact will happen often.
From there I gave it all I could to try and make up a few spots, was handed a couple spots as 2 guys got together ahead but then had a good battle with
@Mat Nipperess trying to find a way past his nissan. That took a few laps and by then I was a bit too far back from shane or Andy hoping to pressure shane into an error as I made some time but the only error was mine on the last lap at the last chicane.
Well done to
@andyo450 on the 2 wins
@Godzilla and Shane for the other podium spots.
