Mazda RX8 Turbo Pit Lane start behind 24 cars to second place! Donington Track Attack
Donnington 20th October 2019
Just as the race was about to start lining up, the rain came down so a tyre change left the Mazda RX8 starting from the pit lane joining only once all the cars had gone by!.
Immediately I knew this was the correct choice and had an amazing amount of grip to be able to climb through the field, had one lucky escape when a car spun as I got to it out of Mcleans and so on to the last lap and with the leader Dave Baldwin within reach, coming up to Coppice, as the in car will show, I was being cautious as I didn’t want to get up under him and maybe have the back step out and collect him.
To have come that far though the field, there was no way I was willing settle for second
I had been braking very gently into the esses all the race but this time, literally the instant I went near the pedal the car violently swopped ends with no hope of control.
Once out the car, the four marshals quickly confirmed that yes there was oil down where I spun.
I have since wondered, should I have just tucked in behind him and settled for second ?, but after coming through the entire field then settling for second, it would have felt the same as sitting in the gravel trap anyway !!!!
