After the first timed run things were looking good, as had become almost predictable the class was being lead by the GT3's followed by myself although they were only 1/2 a second and 1 second in front so within reach. Also had a couple of competitors in a 968cs and tr8 within a couple of seconds behind and threatening to challenge for third.
Went off on the second run and attacked the roundabout with a little to much enthusiasm resulting in a little too much understeer which I quickly changed into far far to much oversteer, might have been recoverable but as the army had left a large pile of dirt just up the road I chose to abort the run rather than risk damaging the car. After all I still had a competitive time on the board or so I thought!
Turns out I must have clipped a cone, although I couldn't find any marks on the car which they usually leave and had received a 5 second penalty on my first run leaving me well down the field.
Third run determined to put a reasonab
le time in all started well, approaching the roundabout I switched the traction control from off to M-track mode to ensure that I didn't end up with silly amounts of over steer again. existed the roundabout well and went to switch the traction control back off as it make the car faster though the tighter sections of the circuit, in doing so I must have just knocked the car out of gear and lost time working out what the hell I'd done.
Ended up 5th in class which was a bit disappointing as without the penalty on my first run I would have ended up 3rd but I guess thats just the way it ends up sometimes.
