yep had a really good day and once again the little white stock pulsar behaved impeccably and never missed a beat all day long. Pity I was far too stingy to invest in some descent rubber and I paid the price for that running bald triple 8s in the wet. So as much as you have come along Timmy I would not get too cocky regarding your victory, but will give you a pat on the back and let you gloat on what will be a one off occasion
Next year will be a whole different ball game as far as im concerned, wont be making any more cut backs on tyres or brakes as they are both final contact points and obviously play a major role in whether you win or lose. Did also not help with no sleep 3rd night and driving with a busted rib and can tell you paddock hill was quite painful and agony today.
Major bit that made my day though was watching my arch rival 'Ben' in his 585bhp Gtr tame the legendary BTCC driver Tom Chiltern
As much as I hate to admit it he drove his heart out and was reeling Chiltern in at a rapid rate of knots to the point where he had him hanging off his front bumper lol.
Then Chiltern did what I can only describe as a pretty cowardly thing and decided to pit rather than see Ben overtake him
Being a professional racing driver I think he owes Ben a free crack of the whip as he knew damned well that he was being caught and Ben was simply the superior driver on the day.
So if you are reading this Mr Chiltern how about a rematch on one of Litchfields test days seeing as you are there test driver also??? he deserves that chance surely and I certainly would not back against Ben
We were gonna have a little joke about it as the btcc driver was advertising passenger Hot Laps at £25 a pop on a board outside his garage 3 down from us.
So we was going to advertise Hotter Laps and undercut him a fiver at £20
Anyway that's enough blowing of your trumpet Ben, you got the better of me this year as kind of lost my way with all that's going on and no time as such to track prep the car, but will make a concerted effort to humble you next year as you've had it your own way far too long now and need putting back in your place on terrafirma
Think everyones raising their game now and no longer will I underestimate anyone as I hate losing, but that's why we all get along as all competitive as fook lol
So heres to next year guys
