OULTON PARK 2. 3/7/21.
Race report,
QUALI , Very wet start to the day,we would only get around 8 laps in So we set the tyre pressures & decided to stay out for the duration,car felt pretty good,didnβt push 100% just keeping it on the black stuff,was very surprised when I came in to find I had been P1 only to be pipped on the last lap by fellow CVWC competitors Tony in his mega Golf mk2 R32,So was pleased with P2 & front row start for race 1.
RACE 1, Well didnβt go to plan..Big shame the timetable had been amended & brought forward an hour without anybody telling usπ
We were called to the grid with 15 min to go,car was still in wet setup with track surface mostly dry.had no time to change to dry tyres,So had to do best with what I had!!
Got of the start line good & to the lead,but knowing I wouldnβt stay there long defending I waved Tony by & tried to keep up with him until my tires gave away,locked up into hislops & couple of Clios went passed,then I saw Tonys Golf R32 stranded at inside of cascades,So tried to keep it on the black stuff & came over the finish line P1 in Class & P3 Overall.ππ
RACE 2. The Sun π made an appearance,dry setup sorted,lining up in row two..made a decent start & made up a place to second,then lap two made my pass for the lead at lakeside was comfortable leading the pack for few laps until I missed my braking point going into hislops chicane locked up went to deep onto the grass & lost the leadπ with couple of laps to go it started to rain and I was closing in on the leader, back markers got a bit in the way up clay hill & druids,So missed my opportunity to challenge for the leadβ¦came over the finish line in P1 in Class & P2 Overall!π¬ππ
