    You are the only one to be on every podium so far.

    No probs. I actually thought I was well past when you came back onto the track, interesting that you did given the way you went off.

    Wow!:eek: i think i need to apologize to @Aza2672 after watching the first lap on this replay. Pretty sure you were not there on my replay which means i couldn't see you, and certainly didn't feel you. I will check my footage when i'm home later.:confused::unsure:

    Well well well, that was an interesting race to be had.
    T1 being the trouble it was and someones capability in the car being far better than anything we / I were able to muster.
    Prac -
    Managed to get from mid 1.45 to 1.42.003, grr you 1.41!!! I was pretty happy with my times, feeling confident I had done enough to Qualify well and place on the podium.
    On Saturday I opened a practise session and found that I still needed more pace to catch @emmo46 , who was beating me by at least .5s p/L... Took the advise from a teammate who said, anything can happen on race night, stick to your strategy this time and have at it!!
    Qual -
    Got a good solid qual sess in managed to nab 2nd! Still a solid .7 from first though...
    Race -
    Well, got off to a solid start, almost pipping @emmo46 off the line, however as we approached T1 it all went pear shaped :(
    A few bumps and nudges from others meant that Emmo and several others suffered off road excursions. Luckily and Happily enough I escaped the carnage and sailed (mostly) through to nab 1st with @Buster_Danis right behind.
    I settled myself after T1 and set about building the gap as much as possible and I managed to push the gap to @Buster_Danis to a decent margin, then realized he was on RM... Still happy to have build a good gap. He pit Lap 3, but by then @emmo46 had managed to work his way through traffic to be back in 2nd spot....ALREADY!!!
    I was like, OMG, but as he mentioned over chat and is seen in the clip above, most racers had trouble staying on the track so he didn't have much of a bother working his way through the pack. Luckily the gap was a solid 12 - 13s.
    However as Emmos pace was superior to mine, he chewed through that time slowly but surely and got it down to 7s at my pit on lap 14.
    This was however where @emmo46 's strategy / fuel & tyre conservation skills came into play. He didn't pit for another 3 laps...
    I was unable to catch on the fresh RM, meaning when he came out of the pits I was 3s behind him.
    I was hoping my warm RM would make the difference and it did, it meant that on the first few laps after he came out, I kept him in check and managed to drop it a little. However once we had done 3 or so more laps, emmo was able to pull away on the back half of the track a little more than I was able to catch on the front half.. So came a see-sawing battle of me trying to pull him in and emmo trying to run away.

    Credit where credit is due
    @emmo46 well done on a very hard earnt win, you were just too good on the track today.
    and to @Buster_Danis for rounding out the podium!!

    The battle for first is still within grasp, but the battle for 2nd this season is heating up nicely!!
    At this point in the season, I didn't think I would be on the podium. But as a wise old man once said,'Everyone has the ability to win, you just have to reach out and take it'.

    Yep, just watched my replay @Aza2672 & according to it you don’t exist?? WTF?o_O:confused:
    Saw you in practise & Qualli no dramas. Didn’t realise I couldn’t see you in the race until now! (or until Lennon’s replay at least!):(

    Thanx, It was unexpected, when I looked at the situation at about lap 5 I felt doomed, but you never know until the fat lady sings as they say.
    With the current dropped round situation there is only five points covering @Buster_Danis, yourself and @Bluemoon.
    I never expected to have had three wins under the belt at the half way mark.
