Race:
What a weird and strange race I had, lol.
Started in 4th.
Ratus overtakes me on back straight of lap 1.
Guys in front battling it out.
Now for the weird part, one by one guys in front start doing pitstops . 1st Dave Coyne, then 2 laps later Dan B in the pits. Then a number of laps later Ratus is in.
Now I'm in 2nd place behind JPS who was pulling away from me. Found out later Dan and Dave had jump starts. Not sure what Ratus's very early pit was for, maybe forgot to fuel car?
Half way point before pits, I had a charging Dave coming up fast behind me at a second a lap faster than me. Almost behind me, he does his pit stop. I'm thinking, "alwell this is the bit he jumps me in the pits no worries, my battle is with Ratus". I do my pit a lap later and come out looking to see where Dave is and find he is over 7 seconds behind, no sign of Ratus too. Turns out Ricky Keene and Dave tripped over each other while I was pitting.
2nd half of race was watching the gap behind me and Dave shrink. Dave was on a charge to caught me. He finally caught me up on the last lap but I managed to finish in front. One more lap, he would have had me for sure.
Well done JPs for the win. I was not that fast this race, but the result was good
Driver of the Day to DaveC for great come back from his drive through.
See you all at Japan.
