    I've always thought of this, just like football (soccer) generally.

    Those first 7 or 8 laps were epic! I was literally sweating after 3 laps. Intense to say the least!

    Hah! That would mean myself, @Tristan Jones and @Aza2672 would be going up! Given were the only three from Div 3B usually racing most weeks I'm not sure that works out. I'll guess we'll see how the numbers stack up, especially once the voting has finished. It's 13-12 in favour of the Beetle at the moment.

    I feel ya. I did something similar in my race. Could have had a race long battle with other cars. Ended up having a fairly lonely race after spinning out on my new medium tyres

    I was alone for most of the race as well after my first lap spin that put me back to last. Caught two guys after a couple of laps and while I was figuring out how to get past them they both drove off the track!!. After that it was chasing the pack about 16 or so seconds from the lead until the pit stops and then leading all by myself with Moon and a couple of others a little way back. Moon was closing but I already knew he was close enough to pass me at my second pit stop but some others seemed in range to pass me as well. All three seemed to have issues (including running out of fuel) so that I was able to hang on to second place after my final pit stop.

    Yeah yeah, we get it mate! :p

    When you came out ahead of me starting the last lap, a little part of me died inside. And then the car died.

    Had a great race...much more than I was expecting given my zero practise (prerace day anyway), a 3B win gifted by @T F Eccles !

    I did take a couple of short grass trips, nothing more than a few seconds each though, thankfully kept the nose pointed the right way.

    In the 20 mins I got to practise pre race, I found I could get 9.5-10.5 laps from a tank, when shifting at my usual spot. I figured I wouldn't lose much by stretching a little, but was still short of 11 laps for first tank during race. I held 5th instead of 4th in a couple of spots and trimmed a couple hundred revs from my shifts...and found enough to start the last lap with 1.1 laps of fuel...

    I saw Colin pitted earlier than me, and hoped he was doing a shorter stint - but didn't notice if he came out on RM or RS. So I spent the second half of the race wondering if he just had pace on me or if he wasn't fuel saving and using RS...still got surprised when he came out 10 seconds behind me! I figured I would play it safe from there...thankfully managed to hold it together!

    I came out om RMs for the last stint of 3 laps and realistically couldn't make up the 10sec gap. That was the cost of my revised strategy - originally I was going to do 10-10-1 but changed my mind to 8-10-3 due to the initial race pace of finding my self in 5th after the initial laps and offs by others. Ultimately it didn't affect the championship outcome.

    :( That would've been me and @Tristan Jones. He drifted wide at turn 5 and I followed him.

    Yeah, well join the club!:D
    I spun pretty much the instant I thought about others strategies & the possibility of a win coming my way.
    (note to self : just concentrate on driving on the black stuff & refrain from doing maths on others strategies!! Argh:mad:)

    Yeah you spun on the last turn? I remember coming round and driving straight through you :p But was unsure how you ended up in that position (almost mid turn, ghosted) Would have been a weird 'off'? :confused:

    Watched the replay, what an eventful race, I think everyone had at least 1 spin and there was lots of good overtakes. I got passed by buster as usual but then I made only one actual overtake moving from ninth to 2nd. I really enjoyed racing with you guys and will definitely miss driving the EF7.
