A great video, as ever 🌟

Thank you! 😃

Love the intro!

@@Blair357ci thanks, I’d have like to have had some drone footage, but the wind and weather wasn’t going to play ball when I had the time to get it.

Good view of my penalty there, frustrating for me to be honest but I see why it’s given. Just before as Callan has gone very wide into turn 2 he’s got to look for an opportunist move coming, as we should into all corners if we’ve cocked up. Turns into the chicane with no awareness that I’m coming and gets sent off as I’m not given much room. At least I give him the place back but in hindsight I should have gone on to win to preserve the 4 place penalty.

[@DownToRace]

With the benefit of being able to slow it down I think ‘opportunist’ is definitely the word. I don’t think I’d have done much different to Callan in all honesty as I don’t think you were enough alongside to be deserving of the room. I remember doing something similar to Kyle last year, luckily neither of us had to take to the grass, but it was for sure an optimistic move and in hindsight I was deservingly shown the door.
It opens up the debate of conceding the position vs continuing on. Personally, I think giving the position back was the right thing to do, regardless of whether a penalty was coming (as that is for the action not the result).

@@DownToRace I think what makes it worse is that Callans maybe gone too quick on the way in, that would have meant him going wide or needing to slow mid way to the exit. I certainly expected him to slow more than he did and to see me as well. Leading a race but cocking a turn up with a class 1 driver behind you’ve got to assume you’re going to get sent, not looking alongside once you’ve gone wide is asking for trouble.
Admittedly I’m not as alongside as I thought I was, due to Callans faster than expected entry speed. I could have won that race had I waited I think.
Still, should I lift at this point? Or maintain others fear of my reputation that I’m sending it no matter what, without worry of losing points. I’ll keep my reputation 😂👍
