Disappointed with the turn-out but I understand some guys had some endurance race commitments, and others have some personal issues to deal with at the moment.
Qualified 8th but in all the kerfuffle of setting grid and changing settings to get the wear on for the race, I started 9th on mediums.
Got away fine, and watched
@ssman244 start MASSIVELY lagging from dead stop to flying up the track until he DSC at T1.
Made my way past
@UrsineSaturn9 &
@Darren Day early and just focused on not making errors as I was not fast enough to catch
@Twitchy &
@gtkingx ahead.
Closer to the end of the stint ursine and I swapped places a few times until he pitted a lap earlier than myself which looked to have worked as when I exited the pits I didn't have slipstream on him.
I pushed hard on the softs and I guess the pressure worked because... (
@incey ) PSYCHOUT TAKEDOWN!
Ursine already photo'd it above, he lost the rear at T4 and T-boned the wall.
That gave me breathing room of about 3s to Darren.
However it wasn't all over, as ursine caught darren and they worked together to reel me in.
By the time darren caught me he had shaken ursine and he got the move done into T1, but then... PSYCHOUT TAKEDOWN!
Exiting T6 he gave too much gas and into the wall.
Again however, I now had ursine catching me.
The gap was 1s starting the final lap. He caught the slipstream out of the 2nd last corner but it was not enough.
Happy with no major mistakes and 6th place
