Well what a start to season 2. Incey has won the first round from grid2, to the chagrin of Skin the pole sitter and FL producer. The guns from Div3 have flexed their muscle earlier and it seems will set the standard for the season. (Te_W , what happened ?)
To the stayers from last season’s roster good starts for the season and congrats to JCP, Johnno, Aro and Jonesy for finishing in front of me!
The newbies have also thrown down their swags and seem to have settled in quickly to Sunday nights . Angry looked angry jumping all over the place with connection issues. Dosy punched out consistent laps both finishing in front of me. Cra doing well then a set back looked to be cruising. Remember Fez "Last is just the slowest winner"
(We get to eat steak sangas, drink beer in PJs and race around nurburg in 400hp mustangs.)
My race notes, I don’t really like this track, not sure why as I can race it well at times. Crap qually. (Note: clean glasses before qually and maybe couple less beers, or more not sure). Qualified 7th ?. First start was poor start. Glad Johnno went off on first lap and had to restart (I jest). 2nd start close racing door to door through turns 1-4, in dirt after 5 first time, 2nd time after turn 11, back to 12th on first lap (wishing for another restart) Eventually made it back to Johnno, I am right behind him, he is not folding to pressure. (Note: new Johnno season 2) OK Lap 11, half way pit now, no wait and see what Johnno does, Johnno ducks in end of 12, split second thought was I could over cut him. Wait! Johnno normally has good strategy follow him. (Note: don’t tell newbies). Too late! missed entry, pushed too hard trying to overcut on worn tyres, dirt again. Pitted lap 13, whoops too much fuel (Note: watch fuel refill) Right, 9 laps on softs time to smash some laps. Come out of pits behind the Mexican Jumping bean (Angry). Next lap, Jonesy comes out of pits between us and I was laughing my head off as I was sitting behind Jonesy imagining his thoughts of “how am I going to get past this jumping bean”. (Note: maybe get girls to watch Netflix as I race.) A couple of laps and Jonesy goes for the pass on Angry which must have put him off a bit as I got Angry as well. Then Jonesy is going well followed him through chicane, off again and back down the field . Almost caught Dosy at finishing line. Monza will be better.
