Great racing as always by all.
Qualy: Just got pole over a very fast Kiwi & Benny.

Race 1; Got a good start from pole but didn't have any FFB so really struggled to keep a very fast and determined Benny behind as he set the fastest lap of the race and a new PB for himself. Well done mate.

Race 2; Got a good start again and pulled away a bit this time with FFB working i had more speed and felt more comfortable with the car.
Very well done to Benny with a 2nd in both races. Also well done to Devil & Dano on both picking up a spot on the podium.

Great to see Devil back racing again and also great to see Wally26 here yet again tonight.

Round results:
TTRJD 40
Benny 34
devilracer 28
Dano 26
Wally 24
kwik-kiwi 18

I was so looking forward to this race...

But if it could go wrong ... it did...

thanks JD for re-starting the second race for me... but then i forgot to load a set up and fuel....

the best part of my night was qualifying second and watching the battle between Dano and Wally26.....

I Really enjoy this track in this cars and in my last three races here have had great pace but been unable to turn it into results.

In practice knew I had pace to be in the top three so through a couple laps at it and loaded up on fuel to continue race practice. Managed to stick the car third on the grid doing my best time on full fuel. JD was a clear from me by .3 of sec and I couldn't quite get kiwi then on the last lap he a great attempt at JD's time only missing by .05.

Race one was my best race in along time I was in the 57's every lap pushing JD the till about a lap to go. My car was nearly perfect but just dropped a little with a lap and half to go. I was never really going to get past JD unless he made a mistake as he was getting such great drive on to the back straight, but I certainlly made him work for it. At the end of the race JD said that he had lost Force Feedback at the start so a fantastic drive under those conditions and under the pressure I was applying. Dano crossed in Third with another strong showing.

Race Two bogged the car off the line a little but held on to second into the first turn. Devil was applying pressure for the first couple of laps but managed to give myself some breathing space. I had adjusted pressure to try and get that last lap and a half out of the car and made it not as quick and couldn't apply any pressure to JD who was quicker again than first race. But finished a Strong second with Devil in Behind me.

Great Night Really love this track
