Some thrilling battles at the front end of the pack last night.
I started P8 after PJCars crashed leading into qually. Time i got back in the room i had less then 4minutes remaining. Meaning one lap qually on cold tires.
A good start off the line. Evasive action led me to the grass as Stew forgot to select a gear on the line. Held P8 remarkable, something Lewis Hamilton could learn from perhaps.
I put my head down and just dialled in the numbers, stretching my tires to lap 17 before i started to see a drop in pace.
Pitted and took fresh rubber whilst continuing to mount pressure on those ahead.
One off track moment as i made a dive on the driver ahead served me a 5second penalty. I gained nothing but i did lose 2 positions.
I continued to push and dial the lap times down to a 1.54 consistently, and a lap best of 1 54.3.
I took positons back and drove through to come P2. A happy result all things considered. Initially i had expectations of a top 5.
There are some quick guys on track, but ive sniffed blood now and I'll push harder going forward.
All in all Div 2 had some good racing I thought. Thoroughly enjoyed
