I suppose thats one of the disadvantages of a small driver catchment like we have i think - you had 3 top National drivers then a spread of drivers with abilities from very good to well, errrr me, in the 4wd A final
All i can really remember is that a) the green & red ZX5 that i had to use for the final after my 501x died wasnt as bad as i thought it would be and b) there were a lot of accidents that allowed a driver like me to actually pass people
It was a scrappy A final really, i went from 9th to 4th after the third corner due to aformentioned crashes - and thats where problems for drivers like me start. At that point im suddenly, legitimately, fighting for position, not just propping up the rear like i normally do. I know just about everyone else is faster than me, but suddenly im allowed to hold my line and make people pass me rather than let people pass like i would in qualifing.
Then the top drivers were on me in a few more laps and suddenly im trying to work out who is actually lapping me and who is trying to pass me for position - Craig & Griff were the only people to actually tell me they were lapping that i heard, so i tried to let them pass when i could, which i think i managed to do without holding either of them up ? I also let Belsten pass as i knew he was also in front of me - everyone else i honestly wasnt sure about due to the multiple crashes everywhere that allowed me to pass & re-pass and stay somewhere in the pack... if i did hold anyone up that was lapping me i apologise...
I personally really enjoyed it though, its not often you get to drive with top drivers on a great track
