Had a lot of fun at Interlagos this week, and was very excited to make it up to DR:B on Friday, wasn't sure whether to grab one more race there today, but went for it anyway, don't often get to race Gr.4 like this, and I'm not fussed about losing a bit of DR.
Was surprised to find myself 5th on the grid in my sparkly pink and black Vantage, sandwiched between a pair of Caymans, a good clean start and the front 6 started to get a gap after a couple of laps. The Cayman behind started to get a bit pushy, and gave me a nudge in T1, but with no gap ahead to run away into, I let him go going he'd take someone else out, although I was back ahead pretty soon. The Jag who'd started P2 spun out at Descida do Lago, possibly punted by the very laggy other Jag, but not sure. I was having a great battle with the Cayman that had started P4 at this point, back and forth several times completely clean. Another couple of laps later, the WRX that had been on pole went wide at Descida do Lago, got a penalty and immediately quit, putting me up to 2nd behind the laggy Jag, although the Cayman got me again just after.
Stayed like this into the final lap, the Cayman right on the Jag's tail, and I was about a second back. They clashed in T8, the Jag spun out and I got through into 2nd, then on entry into T12, the Cayman stuck his right rear on the grass, nearly span out, but cut the corner, and I was past him into the final corner. He was desperate to hang onto 2nd ahead of the other Cayman, but spun on the exit, and dropped to 4th instead while I took win number 7!!!
Was going to thank the Cayman for a good clean race, but he'd left before I got to the chat screen, understandable I suppose, I'd have been pretty gutted going 2nd>1st>4th on the final lap.
DR over 12000 now, and another clean win (6 of my 7 wins!) SR still at 99, that's 7 race days in a row, and 13 out of the last 14!
