errrm...I'll take that as a compliment shall I Drumb?
cheers lads, still shocked about the whole race to be honest, as I normally don't get past the first 3 laps or so without being wrecked in the big races.
Really really chuffed to have won this one, and I just wish I could drive like that in every race lol!!
I was battling with Jake305 (amazing race with you mate) for a while, but could see Leighton starting to pull away so decided to sit behind and train it instead. Danskin then caught us all and came through, and at that point I thought WD Danskin European Champ, as he usually doesnt lose when he is driving like that!!
Then Dan caught Leighton and the four of us were all pretty close for a lap or 2. Once Dan got past Leighton I thought it was all over but Leighton gave him a pretty good hard whack and regained the lead. Dan then put himself out going for a return hit on Leighton (who was up on the infield to avoid it ..sorry Leighton lol) and hit a parked car. At that point there was only about 6 laps to go so I knew if I had any chance of winning it I had to make a move on Jake. It took me a few extra laps to get past him and pull away enough to try to put my fastest laps in to catch Leighton. I just couldn't reel him in though as the laps had run out, but was amazingly chuffed to have finished in second place and to have had one of my best races ever.
Got into chat and started getting pm's saying 'get yer roof ready Nez as there's a stewards enquiry going on'. I was a bit like eh? at the time lol. then the penny dropped!!
Without that bit of luck I would easily be saying WD to Dan or Leighton and being really chuffed to have finished on the podium in 3rd.
Looking forward to wearing this roof for a year, and definitely with a LOT of pride Robin
