Waiting for Ryan for no reason (cos I thought I tapped him off) cost me around 10 seconds... and the race (lost by 1.6 sec or something). Not taking anything away from Matt, though. His pace in those last laps was great. The main area I was making up time was in the corkscrew section; other than that, it was line ball. I was thinking I made the right decision moving to racing hards... but then..
Apricot Hill. Man ! In practice, it was lots of understeer (the hards just don't grip as well, and this can be driven around on most tracks, but Apricot's looooong sweepers brings it out in a big way). Compliments to Cole as well. His pace in practice at Apricot was awesome. I couldn't get within a second of him, then on switching back to RMs for comparison I was
just able to knock him off. You are often quite self-critical, Cole, but I tell ya: you're getting there mate !
Gastro: get in the FT1, biscuit. That Corvette is quick, but too inconsistent and flighty. Do yourself a favour, buddy !
And Ryan.. on softs ? Now
that would be quick. When he doesn't fall off from the pressure (
), there's nobody better at making their car wide, and when he's on it, his pace is as quick as anyone's.
Shame about fullgas.. he's quick too. Dunno what happened there. Hope it wasn't me !
