Very intense race yesterday. The Ford Escort 78 is probably the weakest car in the div2 of the DRM cars (although it might be just a combination of the car and myself :oops:

), but what a sound and handling it has, outstanding.
It's unavoidable to acknowledge that I was blessed with luck in the race as the faster div2 cars got embroiled in many battles and mistakes in the back and didn't have time to catch me on time. Only @Ted Hough was there on time and, in spite of all my efforts, he went through to win the div2 race (Congrats Ted, that drive shouldn't be undermined at all as dominant it was). Those first 12 min of the race were really intense and huge fun.
The long middle part of the race was relatively quiet and the only objective I had was to keep a reasonable pace and avoid making mistakes. That was the only way I was going to keep any chances for a podium. However, @Toni Talvitie and @Kiril Kirilov behind were not prepared to give it away without a fight. Those final minutes (from 0:52) were really glorious: fighting with everything I had left in the car and myself, maximising the strikes of luck that delayed Toni's attack to the last few turns of the race, and keeping it cool.
I found out later, watching @Caitlin Penny stream (thanks again for a great coverage

), that @Kenny Houghton (it wasn't Maxime's) being in the middle of the fight for p2 in div2 whilst seeing blue flags was completely within the rules and it did help me a lot as it retained a bit longer the other lancia's attack. Thanks!
All in all, I think I did well and can happily accept Caitlin's title of 'Master of T1'. Really honoured about that

I had great fun. Hope you enjoy!
And, here the race from my perspective.
Congrats again to the podium in both divs and thanks to @John vd Geest for setting this up! See you at Nords.
