DIVISION 3 - SEASON 6

What a horrible night.

So sent the kids to bed early coz they were being s all day. This meant I could jump on a little early and managed to get a few laps in of prac.
Qualy went ok, managed to get my first 36* on my first flying lap.
Then overcooked turn 4 and was plummeting towards the barriers.
Chucked it into reverse and then remembered I finally had the reset button mapped.
Reset the car as there was a good gap to the next car back.
Back on track and started gassing it.. and started going backwards!
First time using the reset button, so didn't know that it kept you in whatever gear you were in,
Tried to check it back into 1st but it just wouldn't happen fast enough and sure enough, collected @Ranlod as he was trying to pass. So sorry once again mate!
Daughter then starts crying and vomits all over the floor, so sat back in the garage while I helped wifey clean up most of the mess in time to start the race.
Then during the race I just made too many mistakes and pitted twice. Second time was to put on a new set of tyres to try for fastest lap, but my tyres were set to wets, so that was my race over!

Sounds like fun mate

Gutted I couldn't make the race last night. It was one of those days where everything took longer than it should have. I ended up getting home nearly an hour after the race would have finished.
Well done to the winner and podiums.
See you all at Road America

Well the first race I was going good in second behind GMAN. Second take I bombed second place finish. Pitted early in 3rd or 4th came out in clean air which was perfect. but for whatever reason the first 4 or 5 laps after coming out its as if my car was set to Fail driver mode. it was terrible. took me a while to get into the groove again and i was pushing too hard and spun and crashed. only thing i didnt do was drive backwards. Dont know who hit me when i was in the middle of the track, but apologies i was trying to find reverse as fast as I could. Thanks all for a good night I still had a blast racing. Still a great feeling.

This round left me a little surprised. I had about 4 laps practice and felt good with my pace for mid pack, qualified mid pack and had prime seat for that first crash (saw a car in the air). Restart I just tried to run it smoothly, pitted second lap and had clear track he whole time. Managed to not spin and improve times during the race, overtakes were done by people pitting 2nd and 3rd pitted together and I slipped through before them. Got passed back and didn't fight it as I am happy with a top 5 in any race this season (really dislike this car) 2nd didn't make the hairpin a few laps later and cruised home. Just a good clean race with nothing much about it. And damn Gman you were crazy quick, congrats on the win.

G-Man might be solidifying his spot in Div 2 next season along with @ned83

They'll have to do a Div 2.5 at this rate

It's funny how different cars suit different people I hated last seasons car but most people loved it.

Not going to be able to make the race this week, sorry guys won't be back from Bendigo in time.

@stucar17 I'm again away this week (3rd March), happy for a fill in to take my place while I enjoy a business trip to Tokyo!

Qualified 3rd
Got smoked off the line by Ned and Ads – left me 5th as we tipped it into turn 1. Contact up front saw me back in 3rd as G-Man and Ned had a small coming together. Braked too late for turn 5 which saw me back in 5th. Was good door-to-door racing, on balance pretty clean given how the Renault likes to move around. I find this car wants to over rotate, had a play with the settings but haven't found a solution as yet.
Settled into 5th with Ned right behind me in the tow. Those in front made some mistakes over the next 3 or 4 laps so I inherited 2nd without having to stick an overtake. Slowly reeled in Ads then he had an off end of lap 11 as I was getting near his tow. Unlucky Ads that was a cracking start mate you capitalised on the mistakes around you.

I wasn’t planning on taking tyres so figured I’d pit late given I had clear air. At the start of lap 12 I was 38 seconds ahead of those that had pitted. Pitted lap 16 and the gap was down to 35 seconds.

Came out of the pits ~2 secs in front of Ned, Smokey and G-man. Final laps were pretty hairy as grip levels fell off - especially through the slower corners. Ned cut that to 8 tenths in a lap or 2 and I knew I was going to get run down, great pace Ned. Seems there was another incident as next thing I know I’m 4+ seconds up with 2 laps to go!

Recording stopped when I just after pitting so didn't get any footage of end. My first win in a Sunday league race. Not the fastest but it was a mistake free race, for once. Well done ned and smokey on podium.

Well done mate on your first win.
