Sturup Camaro Cup 1

Qualified P4 but the Uyan's were on a different planet here, Glyn Jones in 3rd was 0.5 seconds quicker too! Couldn't match their pace but had a great battle with Neil Larson for P4 and snatched it at the end.

Great start put me 3rd into T1, tried my best to hang on to Troy's rear in th eopening third of the race, with Neil Larson pushing hard too not far behind.

Jon just drove off into the distance and was gone! In the end I made 1 mistake and half spun, losing time to Troy, but Neil having made a similar mistake a lap or two earlier, I managed to keep P3 to the end.

Extremely tough track, let alone driving these cars here. Didn't touch 4th gear once all race, and most corners taken in 2nd or 1st gear. Must be a spectacle when the real Camaro Gen 5 cars race here!!

So, P3 would put me P6 on the reverse grid for race 2....

Very happy with the pole pos. on this one, I hope the trend will continue on :)
Watching the replay I see I had one of the longest burn marks on the pavement on race start, but lucky me I didn't loose much to my team mates or to Andy which I knew was going to be fast initially. L1 and L2 I had a slight gap to Troy in P2, then my lap time cought my eye when I was going into T1, it was 1:00.9, that was only .5 of a second slower than my pole time, very fast, and I thought I started with my Qualy setup and fuel, in a panic I was glancing over to my gauges and that caused me to have a nice power slide out of T1 and started mowe grass before joined with the asphald again. Thankfully I didn't loose any position and from there on it was flawless.

Yes, this was a tough track with these cars, with few technical corners, but mainly being twisty that did not leave any room for relaxing. Happy to have the track record also as I think we won't be re-visiting this one for a while.
