LFSCART Round 6
2009-07-12
JackDaMaster — Blackwood GP
Qualified up in 5th, not bad but could of found a few more tenths.

Sprint Race (12 laps)

This didn't go well. Lost a few at the start due to getting caught up behind someone. I then ran off after the backstraight. I couldn't get any sort of heat into the tyres and a few spins later I end up upside down at the exit of the last corner. Race over :(

Feature Race (49 laps)

Started last. By the end of lap 2 I was leading! :D Everyone was fighting in front of me and a little rubbing up ahead bottled up the guys from 2nd to 6th (where I was). I then went up the inside of them all at once :D I nearly gave Deko (commentator) a heart attack going into the lead LOL.
I rattled off the next 12 laps building up a lead of about 4 seconds. I then pitted to change to R3s but some slight damaged had to be repaired and I lost out to some people who has pitted earlier.
I eventually repassed these people and was into 3rd once most of the people had pitted. I then got 2nd when guy in front got a D/T penalty. He came out right behind me and a few laps later he tapped me into a spin coming off the backstraight. He got another D/T for this and I didn't loose any positions thankfully.
2 laps to go and my tyres have dropped away dramatically. Jack McIntyre goes up the inside of me and now the only person close enough to pass me is Kid. He then rams me into T1, but I keep the place. He then does it again coming off the backstraight and I then spin into the wall :( I finish 5th.


Good racing though.
