- Round 4: Another track I've never raced at before. This should be interesting...
Practice sped by surprisingly quick. I thought I had some pace, at least keeping up with my championship rivals. I was feeling optimistic going into qualifying as the green flag dropped. Struggling to get many clean uninterrupted laps, I managed to set my best time on the last lap, and definitely felt like I had more in the tank. That being said, it was enough to put my 4th on the grid for race 1.
Started Race 1 strong, managing to hold my position off the line. Had a fair battle with Gareth who had started 3rd. Managed to finally make a move stick before the driver's behind started getting involved.
I was able to break away with the lead drivers (Tom and Ami) and we managed to gap the pack by a small distance. Not much happened, with me sitting about 1.5s behind them until a few laps til the end. some backmarkers who were battling themselves threw a late complication, which, through some bad luck ended up costing Tom the lead. I was able to take advantage of this on the last lap and sneak past to claim 2nd.
Race 2 started even better. I was determined to not let Ami charge off into the distance. I felt like I had more pace at the start of the race, so I decided to go for a move. This put me into the lead of the race, where I would sit for 8/9 laps. I knew eventually that Tom and Ami would break free from the pack and hunt me down, so I was determined to push as hard as I could to not have to drive defensively until later on in the race. They caught up, and seeing as though we hadn't made a massive gap to the karts behind, I didn't fight all that much. Again found myself on the back of the 3 kart train, although we had picked up a tail. Rudy had come to join in. I'd noticed from earlier on that he had received a penalty already(these are in the form of position penalties resolves after the race), so it didn't bother me too much if he did make it past. I managed to hold him off, and we managed to stay on the back of Ami. This presented itself with a golden opportunity on the final lap. Ami went defensive for the last few corners, leading me to get a decent run up the back straight. A space on the inside not much bigger than a kart presented itself. I made it alongside before the crucial point where Ami would be turning in. All I had to do was not overcook it and ruin both of our races. I made it stick and brought it home with another P2.
This ended up being P3 overall for the round, as both Tom and Ami had a P1 and a P3, both finishing on 95 points requiring a tie break for the top step. I finished just 1 point behind...
It feels like the field is getting closer and more competitive as we pass the halfway point of the season. The final 2 rounds at buckmore are going to be exciting. - Авто та транспорт
Enjoyed watching this . Thanks for the upload.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. Next c100 video won't be for a while yet though as the next round(and season finale) isn't until the end of November. Did a practice yesterday at whilton but fat thumbed the GoPro so didn't actually record that. 🤣
@@mattelliskarting All our best races are when we forget to press play in the camera. lol
Haha yea for sure. Had some good on track action in that session. Gutted when I came off and the camera wasn't on 😔
