RBR 4th.
Great drive from both Tony and Lozza, i really dont know how Tony does it.
Sad also to see Sken and Srt running around at the back with no power, i felt guilty of making the bhp penalty so harsh,
but its there for a reason to keep the championship close, and its working.
I had a great race, one of the few races that i have ever had with no spins spills or crashes of any sort at all.
I started in from 6th and was really quite happy there and let the elite guys go, which they did for a while.
Around lap 6 i passed Phaed who had had a little problem and later Nissman who also had issues and ran in 3rd and 4th for most of the race.
My plan if it did not rain was to run a 2 stop race going RS RS and then RM if needed if the rain did not force us to change to wets.
All went well, and i was in gret shape throughout the race, although Tony and Lozza had a huge advantage after 60 minutes, but they were never my target.
Myself and Nissman were really battling for 3rd place with me on a 2 stop and he on a 3 stop running a bit faster.
At 59 minutes still dry i changed to RM for my final stint and was pleased to see Nissman do his last stop around 70 minutes i think, and he came out around 15 seconds behind me.
I paced my laps and just tried to be gentle on fuel, and could see him slowly closing in on me.
My RMs were fine and as we got to 10 minutes to go i thought i may have enough fuel, but Niss was pushing hard and he was closing and closing and i was going as slow as i dared to keep fule and just so he would not catch me by the finish.
As we cam to the last 2 laps i realised i had too much to loose if i ran out of fuel, so i opted for a quick stop for 15 ltrs fule and rs again, i would rather finish 4th than crawl round with no fuel on the final lap and finish 9th.
As i came out of the pits Pubs went past and i was 5th, but with fresh tyres i was able to close down Pubs quickly and just was there waiting for a good oppertunity to pass him.
I darted around behind him, just to keep him on his toes, but i would have not have tried to pass at a place where i may ruin his race, but looking in his mirrors he ran wide and i went in to 4th place on the last lap.
For me a great race and great result, well happy.
Looking to Nurn24Hr now, and a really hard hard track to get through with no damage, and a long long way to limp home if you crash.
Have to do lots of practice this week.
It will be run dry with time progression x16 so it will cycle through night and day.
