    Struggled so much at this track just getting out of the corners onto the straights, couldn't quite keep momentum going.
    At the start I put my car on the grid and got ready, realised I had changed up to first and would roll backwards. So awkwardly pressed the clutch and brakes with my left foot. Looks like someone else forgot where their brakes were as they rolled back on the grid and ended up on my bumper. If I wanted to make a lightning start (wasn't going to happen), having another mini on your hood will prevent that. ;)

    I got away cautiously trying to keep with the pack. Someone got a major tankslapper and unfortunately they ended up broadside across the track just as I arrived so we both crashed off the track. I was near enough at the back anyway so what did it matter :D

    For the next 10 mins or so I would occasionally see other cars when they went off. It looked like 2 had a coming together not far ahead of me so I was cautious. They looked like they were both trying to rejoin the track.... NOT THERE!! One rejoined in a corner apex leaving the just behind me to get t-boned... PHEW got away with that!

    From then on it was very lonely... but then... it seemed Roel made a little error when battling ahead and he came back towards me. We would then have a great scrap for the top 5. We were both faster at different points of the circuit and it was hard to get a run. I just hoped I could push him into a mistake. In the final 2 laps I managed to get an overlap a couple of times. Harder to out brake someone or get a cut back it seems. Damn you FWD! :D I was on the outside into the final turn but couldn't quite get the car turned to switch back. The following lap on the white flag I did the same, but chose the outside line again. I didn't work before and it didn't work this time either. Roel ran wide on exit and we were so close coming across the line. Really enjoyed that, thanks for the clean racing @Roel Postma :)

    Oh I meant to say @Rob Milliken ... nice broadcast again. But your mouse pointer was on screen the whole stream ;) You can exclude it in the game capture in OBS btw.
