Jules | Kinda of strange that's

Kinda of strange that's there is so little write up, even after a week.

Aaron Lidell? I wonder if its the same Lidell family I raced with in the early 2000s in Formula PP....father ( in PP ) n son ( in Juniors )then.

Well, once a motor head, always one forever!

des_k | It was an eventful race i

It was an eventful race i must say .

Rd 1 ,
Starting 2nd on grid, side by side with Danny into T1. gave him his way cause he has the inside line and followed him throughout the race until he made a mistake in the turn in front of the grandstand and i managed to pass him and steal his lead.

Rd 2,

Started behind and managed to catch up to 4th before the first lap and was given a "free upgrade" when race leader Luen had problems with kart followed by Race leader Ramsey who has to withdraw because of a loose wiring in his kart. Followed Ashraff to the chequered flag with Danny in real close hot pursuit with couple of overtaking moves lined up trying to steal 2nd from me. could have done better by overtaking ashraff but i was not confident on the tyre pressure i was running because my tail was starting to slide . so i just have to drive smoothly.
Finished 2nd.

Final,
Started Pole with Aaron Lidell alongside. Did some gamble in trying "different " tyre pressure on the back. and it turned out to be great !! First rolling start did not materialize as me and aaron did the KKS rolling start method. We actually started accelerating coming out from the last corner. Restarted this time and waited for the green flag to drop. I had a clean T1 all to myself and managed to pull a significant gap away from the pack after 2 laps. Kart and Grip was running the way i want it and it was a great race.
