Unusually for us, especially for Iain, we actually had just a few moments to sit down this afternoon, unheard of...
Quite a late qualifying session, nerves building nicely ... But despite some leaden clouds passing overhead the track has stayed dry all day. Qualifying went very well, a full 3.5secs quicker than this morning, on a 1.40.2; giving me 11th on the grid (of 25 surviving cars ...) and 'class pole' by nearly 1.5secs - frankly I'm a bit surprised. But still there's no points or prizes for today's efforts ...
With the cars having to go into Parc Ferme for an hour, Iain (who'd qualified 7th on 1.36.6), Mike and myself went to the bar in the paddock for a well-earned beer! An hour later we collected the cars, and set about re-prepping for a very early Race 1 at 0840 tomorrow. So that was refuel, give each car a battery recharge, check over and in my case another tweak on the front brakes and a set of new spark plugs.
Followed by a quick pizza, and off to hotel to blog and YouTube!
Going to be a big day tomorrow, and a long one - another like today would be great, but there are no chickens being counted here ...!
