Big thank you to Lex Lathor for hosting today and big apologies from me for being late. I don't plan on being late again, but sometimes traffic can hold you up. If I am late in the future, please host again and don't be shy about starting without me - I would join in with the second race if I missed the start of the first one.
Congratulations to Flaco for excellent driving in the Cobra Coupe endurance race. I was disappointed to get lapped by the first four drivers. In the opening laps I was running in fourth place, having slipped through when GKGamer and Lex Lathor made a mistake, unfortunately I couldn't withstand the pressure of faster drivers behind and almost inevtibaly ran wide onto a slippery area and spun. Later I was thinking how I might make it to the end without being lapped and the next instant the lapse in concentration caused another spin!
Next week in the Avon Tour of Britain 1973 we change cars again!
Thank you. It wasn't
that excellent IMO, but it was intense. Not excellent because I spun out just after I finally found a way around Pimiki and gained me some space from him. I will from now on nick-name him "Pitbull" because he bites so firmly when he's behind me, funny thing is his laptimes drop significantly when there is not a cat around for him to chase on a tree, though.
Intense because, after spinning out I found myself in front of Lex (although I thought it was Buybon, good driving btw B. 👍) who decided not to force everything to get passed me (Gentleman!
). With Miki something about 7 seconds now in front I managed to maintain a good distance to Lex, who also had eran in his back waiting for a chance, I tried to go for all or nothing seeing the distance to 1st now dropping 6,7 - 6,5. I started to drive better laptimes with each lap, when also I started to sweat, because it's hot in an appartment top floor without AC, and this stupid water decides to run right into my left eye... However, don't ask me how because I have no idea, blind on one eye and not daring to whip it off I started to get the fastest laps consecutively and soon after I spotted Miki the "Pitbull" again. The rest, well, OK Sick, maybe there was some excellent driving
same goes for eran (great win at Avon and Pole with Cobra) Buybon (great Quali and start of race) IfAndOr (great laptimes in Cobra) Miki (well, less corner-cutting would be nice) gkgamer (because it's late at night in Japan but made fastest lap times twice during the race
👍 ) and Sick Cylinder (because, hey, at least your bladder lasted! It did though, right?
).
Oh remember Sick, Avon was Lex 3rd me 4th!
