Race
I did not
go much better, due to the out lap also being the green
flag lap. Only about 1/4 of the drivers knew this, so the start was
chaos as these lucky drivers disappeared into the distance. I was dead last into the first corner. After 3 laps, while
passing another car, I was pushed onto the grass at around 130mph,
but luckily I slid back onto the track without any major dramas.
This cost me 2 places and the car handling felt strange, so I pulled
into the pits for a damage check just as the race was red flagged
for another incident elsewhere. I managed to make the restart in
last place minus my engine cover. I finished in 10th place from 11
finishers, 3.7 secs off the fastest lap. The race had 5 separate
incidents, with many Monoposto cars going home in body bags. The
race won by Jonathon Lewis. |
