Goodwood
Variable weather and long delays marked the day. A very large entry meant one practise and two timed runs only. Practise went well with 91sec run followed up a 89.74 in first timed. In the 2nd timed I caught another car after half lap so had a re-run. So after a long time idle waiting to go I was eventually on my 2nd timed run..Absolutely flying (for me at least) right up to the point coming onto Lavant Straight where the engine coughs and, at the chicane, the engine virtually dies as I have run out of fuel. Managed to coast over the line and into the pits with a time of 90.90secs. I was 4 secs up on my fastest time ever at Goodwood until I ran out of fuel ! I ended up winning the class and only being beaten by some of the single seaters and two Nissan GTRs. A run of 85secs would have put me 4th overall.
Right at the end of the video you can see the Nissan GTR which went off at Fordwater in practise and did all four corners big time.
