Sorry this is late, been meaning to post up but have been caught up. Well Round 3 went a lot different to what I was hoping lol. Everybody seemed to have stepped up from Willow, being a tight track with big drafting, it created even closer racing.
Quali was tight, big props to
@Shane Edgar for taking out Pole. I was doing 1:10 flats in practice and did a 10.1 in warmup just before quali started but just could not replicate in the actual session, starting out 3rd couple tenths off Pole.
For race 1 it was a solid start jumping into 2nd, but the race was on from the word go with
@BMWF30328 pressuring into lap 2. I got a slight bump going into turn 2 with
@BMWF30328 right on me, maybe broke a little early catching him off guard but was trying to be cautious. Unfortunately I messed up the exit and got caught on the kerb and spun in front on him,
@Shane Edgar also catching his own slide in front of me. I tank slapped back in front of BMW causing a little bit of havoc behind but luckily didn’t take anyone out, sliding down the grass into T3 and back to 10th place.
We’ve spoken but wanna apologise to
@BMWF30328 for my slight saltiness post race, in the moment it all seems instantaneous but after reviewing the replay post race, really it was all caused on my own. It was the a tough slug to try recover for the rest of the race, some great battles and defensive driving from a lot of guys.
Just could not reach the podium with
@LITTLEBLACKO942 and
@LennonLegend1993 holding up great persistence to keep their positions while all the same trying to leap over each other. It was good close hard racing, some aggressive manoeuvres at times but was a lot of fun and a big challenge looking back at it... one point we were three wide coming out of T3! So to come out with nobody turned around, great props to you boys and well down to
@LennonLegend1993 for holding out that last podium spot. Congratulations to
@BMWF30328 for taking out the win and
@Shane Edgar in P2.
Race 2 reverse grid was a great start out of P6, survived the first couple laps and got up into P2 and managed to scurry away from the field behind me breaking the draft, which allowed me to slowly reel in
@TasTim2 and eventually make a pass out of the final corner, a great consistent drive for you man, before
@LITTLEBLACKO942 caught up to us and I managed to pull a bit of a gap as they fought out P2.
Congrats to
@BMWF30328 for holding out the overal round win! Stellar comeback from starting last in reverse grid, I managed to crawl into 2nd overall and well done to
@Shane Edgar for 3rd! Pretty stoked to come out leading the championship though so it wasn’t as bad a round as I thought, into Red Bull Ring and some more right competition from everybody seeming to step up their game!!
