I thoroughly enjoyed the race last night despite finishing in a pile of sweat and shoulder/neck pain. Chuffed to qualify 4th and then to finish on the podium in 3rd. Had a great race long struggle with @Adronaught , I thought I had blown 3rd place just before the pit stops with a spin on the left hander after the corkscrew., I had managed to hold off adro up to that point, he had graciously redressed after one of our head to heads, thanks adro, I had ticked it as a race incident so to have you give the spot back was very gracious. I thought about pulling in behind you to let you go ahead but with Cola and Moon closing fast I thought it better to get going.
With the spin I had let @cola1001 through and with Adro having already pitted early I suspected I would be in 5th after the stops. Strangely Cola was back behind @Bluemoon after the stops so must have had some misfortune, so I was actually still 4th with Adro now 9 seconds in front. I knew he had pitted early and hoped that might play to me later in the race for although the tyres don't appear to wear they do drop off a little after about 26 laps. I had 27 laps to catch adro but somehow managed to do it in about 16. It took forever to get to within 3 seconds but then in a couple of laps I was past and then managed to hold the gap to the end.
Everybody seemed to have some great battles except @Adam Wyman who has lost his sparring partners to the dark side at PCars. Stick with it Adam as you were only just slower over a lap than I managed so you seem to be improving at a good rate. Bad luck to @Razorpod50 who suffered some technical malady but was in contention for the podium early on.
There were apparently two other guys in the race that we didn't see much of as they ran off into the distance. Well done @Hatfield and @aranteamo for excellent performances. I was sweating about being lapped again there for a while.
