Scottish Mini Cooper Cup - Round 5 Race 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCUsEkej3sw
Howler of a start leaving me chasing Craig Noble and Chris Reid for the first few laps. (slight push to get Chris going along railway on one occasion!). Got past them, then chased down Guy Johnston. Good battle with him before catching Hamish Brandon and Steven Clarke fighting on the last lap. They had a coming together coming out the last corner gifting me a couple of places on the run to the line!

Another poor start with Steven Clarke drawing along side but held the line in to turn one and left him to battle Hamish Brandon. Then it was a dog fight with David Sleigh and Stefan Di Resta for the rest of the race, just pipped to the line by Stefan, 7 thousandths of a second!
Subsequently given a 5sec penalty dropping me a place after the race for going 4 wheels over the white lines 3 times. Just for fun, count how many times the red car in my rear facing camera goes 4 wheels over... [Guess I need a big brother in F1]

Yeah yeah, need to work on my starts! Guy Johnston slips past and I'm left defending against Chris Reid. First lap fracas at Clarks leaves nowhere to go along railway and Chris slips by on the run up the straight. Got him back with minimal elbows out and chased down Steven Brewster and Kyle Reid fighting hard for 5th. Good race but nowhere to get them and after Kyle missed 3rd on the home straight for the last time, my car needs a nose job!
In other happenings, the girlfriend did some experimenting with lift off oversteer during race 2...
