The Season 7 Show Down "Clash Of Titans"

That was a fun race, there ended up only being 7 in the RumblesRoom.

I knew I had to pull something special to be able to match it with the Div 2 guys, let alone Div 1. I was about 3 seconds off the pace in qualifying which i was reasonably ok with. I hadn't practiced much so it was ok.

Zamps stole the pole with a flying lap, good on ya mate.

Started in 5th. The first stint we all remained relatively bunched up, only about 10-15 seconds separating us all. I was managing to not get completely swamped by the faster guys behind me. Only made a couple of mistakes, not too bad. Pitted lap 6 i think it was for the mediums. Felt good the previous lap passing most everyone in the pits and running second for half a lap!!

On the mediums I was sure I was catching Bonus ahead of me, as I kept getting glimpses of his arrow just ahead on my map. Just not quite close enough to get a visual on the track though. Had a good battle with Rumbles, passed each other once or twice, but his tyres I think started to go off a lot earlier than mine and I was able to pull away. Late pitstop around lap 13 for the softs and off to finish the race.

I didn't get lapped, so was happy with that!!! LOL

Thanks Anon, it was anyone's race really, the slipstreaming at Spa makes it difficult to get away. Even though my tyres were in better condition in the last 2 laps, I just couldn't make a break. I think my strat was sound, but I made too many little mistakes to break clear in the last 2 or 3 laps. Good job to you Anon, and Aussie. So close in the end. That last lap was hilarious.

Spewing.. I completely threw away a win with a stupid mistake on the last lap. But all the other errors I made didn't help either.

Qualified 1st with a 2:16.4xx which I was very happy with considering it was my PB and my softs were 2 laps old.
Got away well and watched Blueyonder and Stu fill my mirrors for the first few laps. Its almost impossible to defend against the slipstream coming out of Eau Rouge, so Blue would take the lead, only for me to take it back the next lap.

Some derp moments, including a short cut penalty had me back to third by the first pit stop, close behind Blue.

Blue and I had an almost identical strategy so we had a good battle for almost the entire race. I pitted for my last stint on mediums a lap before Blue and when he made his stop I had enough breathing room that he wasn't quite in my slipstream. That's where I tried to keep him, but some sloppy lines meant he soon latched onto the back of me.

2 laps to go, running in 2nd, I was exactly where I wanted to be.. I was planning a slipstream attack on Blue on the final lap and I was confident of being able to defend for the rest of the lap. I got an okay run up the hill and it all went to plan just as I had hoped; took first place braking into Les Combes.
But just as soon as I'd taken the lead I lost it again 2 corners later.. Got a wheel onto something slippery and it just let go, couldn't hold it, into the wall, and watched Blue and Stu fly past me.. Devistated.

I think I can take solice in the fact that the mistake I made was absolutely identical to one Fernando Alonso made at Spa in 2010. So by my reasoning that makes me just as good as him

Well driven though Blue; and to Stu as well for being so close by the end. I didn't even see you coming mate.

Lol I remember that spin of Alonso's Flood. Must have been fun to retrace his steps so to speak.
