Fairly happy tonight, played it safe and didn't make any major errors, just a couple of little ones. Qualified 12th outright which I think was 7th in division 1B. Somehow got up to 9th by turn 2 and held that until there was chaos at skyline, managed to sneak through into 7th outright and somewhere in the the top three of div 1B. Held that until I was caught by one of he div 1 guys and then got around whiz to maintain 7th again until the end of lap 5 when a little oversteer out of the final corner let three guys close and pass before the cutting putting me back to 10th, Then coming out of Forest Elbow a lap later I came upon a car reversing across the track, went off the track to the right to miss it but was still hit. That put me back to 2nd last with only the track crosser behind me after he kindly redressed, thanks for that.
From there on I was chasing. I closed on Ursine towards the end of the first stint and then spent most of the 2nd stint closing and dropping back from him. I was losing a little time but then he had a half lose coming out of the cutting and I was able squeeze through, he made it obvious he didn't want that but that's fair enough. From there it was chasing various people on different strategies but never able to actually catch anyone so finished 12th where I started. I had considered giving this a miss but wanted to finish ahead of @Matthyus in the points. I managed that and only took three more races than him to outscore him.
