Guys, i feel that had my plan come together i may have won the race, of course though, it didnt and and i only got 1 more point than dear seven, who spent 80 minutes making a pitstop.
I knew in training that the track didnt suit me and that pushing the tyres only lasted around 7 laps before the times dropped right off.
Also i knew the fast guys in training were able to do times in the 34s, whereas my very best ever lap was mid 36.
So my plan was to set the car up really very soft at the front and no downforce, with RS tyres i could run consistant 38s with that, and driving smoothly and gently, could run 18 lap stints so a 2 stopper was my plan, on the way slowing up the quick guys as they pitted and had to get past me, at worst i thought i would be in the top 6 and i was happy.
I would not have any battles with anyone and would be calm and serene and wait until the last stint before my plan blossomed.
I spent hours training, running round 18 lap stints, working a driving style that hurt the rears and not the fronts, i was ready.
Then my teamate Kossu suffered lag on the first race start, and i know he has just moved apartment and was a bit worried for him, i knew i would qualify well down but that was no issue on a 90 minute race.
When we restarted Kossu had not rejoined on the formation lap, but was wondering if he had on the race start, but being so far back, the list of drivers only went up to 7th on my display so i wasnt sure he was in, but i could see several red, pinky coloured cars ahead during the pace lap and hoped he would be there.
As the race got underway, i was looking for kossu after turn 1 if i could see him in turn 2 ahead, i ran wide and lost 8 seconds, bad start, but no damage , keep calm.
As we got into lap 10 everyone was pitting, and my tyres were still 7 so all good.
As i had dropped more time than i hoped as i had ran wide, and of the front runners stopping Flank came out just ahead of me, and i thought that there was still a chance of it working out for a good finish position.
On around lap 14 with front tyres down to 6, going through the complex, with no intention of holding them up, i had 2nd 3rd 4th closing behind me, and sadly Agro who was leading the bunch got a bit sideways and just tapped me and we just both slid down the camber into the wall, a read disaster for us both, but no bad intentions from either, we bumped the wall and both had damage.
This caused me to pit early and really from then on it was all downhill, as i knew the fuel and tyres could not make 2 stops from lap 14 onwards, so i was mentally working out a way around the issue, and just really couldnt get myself back in the game. But i kept on as you never know, but made a couple more sill unforced errors, and then 3/4 the way through the race i made a huge huge boo boo, i have no words to apologise for it.
I was being lapped by the leaders at this late stage and was happy to let them through, as Agro closed in i pulled to the right exiting turn 4 and slowed to let him through, he seemed to be quite far ahead as we came toward the right hairpin into the complex, and i guess the only reason i missed my braking point is, i rely on rythm a lot, after so many laps you just get that rythm of brake, turn accelerate, but i think my rythm was broken as i had slowed and moved for agro to go through, so when i came to my braking point, i was too late, and just locked up, trying to avoid the turning in agro, and i just went into his door Tbone style, and both damaged.
I was so upset, what an idiot, being lapped and i do that to one of the leaders, my my, how to explain that, then i was thinking he may think i did it in retaliation for the incident earlier in the race, but i would never ever do that, so the last 15 minutes i was lapped by almost everyone, driving round feeling very sad that i made such a stupid error.
But anyway, i kept on and finished 11th, which was last place, well, it was as seven spent 95% of the race drinking tea in the pit lane.
SO sorry to agro, sorry sorry sorry.
Hope Kossu gives it another go, and hope we all get a full grid next week.
But even without that, I was not sure that I would be able to keep Vic and Karsten behind me as my FL tire was at 3 and still two laps to go.
). I also had seen Agro put an extr time not long after a scheduled stop so he had fallen lower than he probably would've been sitting at that point. 
. 
. Off to Apricot Hill now, a track that I quite like, but with weather back and I should find a wet setup this time lol.
I'll use this race as a drop score
