A big thank you to Marty for the organisation and Steve for the background work, it was a very well run league and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it.
The race last night was fun, albeit frustrating at times. I had a decent quali to put me in 5th, I knew I would be too far away from the 2 Andys and Terry but Reilly put in a blistering time as well. Start went well but I ran slightly wide letting Jorgensen through which proved to be very costly. I think you get the award for the hardest person to get past on track
@Flamebadger I've been behind you a few times this season and it always takes bloody ages to get past you haha! While I was behind him Marty, Matt Frost and Reilly all caught up which made things very interesting. I got caught up on the sausage kerbs a couple times and basically lost out to all of them. Long story short, they all got past Jorgensen and I ended up behind him again. The amount of times I was that close to him but in the last corner but couldn't get him into turn 1 because of the lack of acceleration in the AMG was so frustrating but I eventually got there not long before the stops.
I thought I'd pit early and try and get an undercut on Frost but, although it was a perfect stop, it wasn't enough and he came out still in front after his stop. He started to pull away as my tyres started to wear until he made a mistake coming out of the left hander leading up the hill to the corkscrew. I went past and had a 7 second advantage but as the laps went by my tyre wear became worse and worse and I was making mistakes and unsdersteering and everything. The last few laps were nailbiters and for the first time in my racing career I was glad to have been lapped as it was one less lap I needed to defend
. As we crossed the line the gap was 0.2
The season was great. I started off with a hiss and a roar but then fizzled out midway and just managed to hang on to 5th in the championship. Things might have been very different had
@Frostwa been able to make those 2 races as we were very close at the time. I'm looking forward to trying a new car as I don't think the AMG was the best fit for my style of driving.
Congrats to the championship podiums, amazing stuff
I think a special congrats needs to go to
@andyo450, just too fast mate hahaha! Unbelievable speed and consistency
Maybe we need to look at ballast for the next season
