Well Ive not raced much RSR mainly because of dry eye problems preventing me racing long but its been good for a while now so this was a good one to get stuck into again
Qualified badly although on pace to what I was able to do.
Miraculously avoided the first lap prangs that got me around 12 from mid 20s. Then worked up to 5th at one place mainly with people spinning - seemed to be the Fords mostly.
@Dama_The_Crow caught up with me quickly and he managed an audacious overtake in the lesmos outside as we were cornering like I was standing still - very nice Dama !
Pit stop went well and ended up in 9th - then about 3/4 of the way through I realised from the brake graphic I was braking throughout the race a little.
The next 20 minutes were painful as I needed to life the brake pedal with my toe... all of a sudden I was lapping from late 48s into very early 47s ! Thankfully that allowed me to keep the pack gaining on me at bay and catch up to 6th. Alas we had a little coming together purely racing incident imo from the replay which we both survived but then approaching the lesmos I lost it which took me from 7th to 10th... my own fault - lost my rhythm completely...
All in all not a bad result but would have loved to have not had the brake problem as this would have been a perfect race to gain whilst others had their misfortune heheh
Thanks for the race all !
