Yes silverstone

I'm going to give everthing I can to win this round. 3rd in the standings isn't good enough. If only we had points for qualifying

Going back to the original rules it looks as if I did promiose points for fastest lap.

I'll need to do some re-tallying...

Even so, my race pace hasn't been anywhere near my qualifying pace. Which is dissapointing.

I finished my race. I did a bit of practice to get accustomed to the car again, and to find a decent setup. I went for the 'no downforce' and 'full sixth gear' setting as usual, but also decided to put the brake bias one notch towards the rear, and fully stiffen up the rear suspension. This made it a lot smoother at high speed in the wet.

The race started well for me as I had not lost much time moving through the field and, by Abbey, I was in first with a clear track ahead. Laps 2 and 3 were very good. I know I lost a tenth or two in places which kind of frustrated me (badly wanted to get into the 1:13s) because on lap 4, I was meeting traffic in the final sector. I lost 1.5secs on that lap which wasn't too bad. But, unfortunately, on the final lap, I met about 6 cars at the Maggotts/Becketts complex. My idea was to find a gap on the inside on the right hander, but I didn't judge it too well. As a result, I took a trip across the gravel on the inside. I kept the rest of the lap together but the adventure lost me about 6 seconds.

Overall, I'm pleased with this race and I hope I can put up a fight for the podium as I feel this track suited the car and my driving style and that I was fairly consistent in my driving.

That Volvo is awful in the wet.
