What a disappointing night last night was all around. Turn up, track, and driver etiquette.
Race 1 taken out 1st corner by 1st time driver in Div1 who then exited after his effort of spinning me. Asked for restart which was ignored by Bob as obviously the field of 5 was enough and there were too many drivers to disrupt.
Race 2 skipped out to 3sec lead till Beau got to second and started coming. I then made a brain fade error on the downhill section and lost 6-8 secs which left Bob 3secs in front (2nd), and Stig at least 4sec behind (5th).
Was catching Bob quickly but Stig was mowing me down as quickly if not quicker. Same as Stig, I could not figure Bobs pace, or where to pass, and when Stig got to me I let him pass, to hopefully have him pressure Bob more than I could and make him crack under that pressure.
I tucked in behind them waiting, and finally that error came from Bob on the last lap out of corner 1. Stig and I both passed Bob before the chicane. But alas the next corner after the chicane Bob decided to rear end me off track (2nd time in 2 races) in his anger, or poor driving, which cost me 3rd. I only have myself to blame for not being a clear 2nd with my shocking rookie brain fade error on lap 4 though.
Well done Beau and Stig and SS you guys are just far too quick for me. It feels like there is 3 standards in Div 1.
Div 1 Alien - Beau
Div 1 - StigTC & Fleck
Div 1 Imposters - The rest of us
P.S. Beau did almost no practice here
and only hit the 53s let alone those 52s
, in basically his first practice session which was a half hour on Sunday.
