I really love these 2 tracks, Maybe the 2 best we have had since the beginning of this season.
btw i can't make 4 laps without crashing, but they are really really great.
Congratulations Mad and Dan. |

*sigh*
RACE 1
Got off to a flying start, was well over a second ahead onto lap two, but smashed it head on into a wall causing me to lose 9 secs putting me down. clawed my way back up to 3rd, then swat crashed and it was a breeze to the finish with around 4-5 secs between me and bboy for at least 10 laps, got 2nd
RACE 2
First of all i thought this track was amazing and absolutely loved it. Shame I completely messed it up. Was leading for first 3 laps untill a wall ride mess up, respawned and tried again only to mess it up again. down to 18th and the following lap took the last corner too quickly and flew off, causing me to respawn again all the way back before the wallride at the drop. 20 laps to go, 2 laps down in 18th. drove like a beast, unlapped myself once from everyone easily (exc. grndl), cruised down to 5th with no problems and managed to get jonny on the last lap(ish). Got 4th
kinda annoyed that i enjoyed the tracks so much and practised so hard only to mess up one of them, but still got 1 2nd place so thatll do

Race 1: Bad start but kept it consistent for 12-13 laps until, as expected, one horrible lap in the middle of the race lost me a lot of time. Almost flipped on a donut too.
Race 2: Sucked ass in all the laps I did in warmup until I figured the track out 10 mins before Race 1 got underway. Had 2 wallhits and some big drifts which wasted time but other than that, clean race.
All in all, difficult tracks this week. |

2 nice tracks
Race 1: manged to get a decent practice, and added to the 25 times I went round tonight, I never discovered a sweet line around that left U turn. It was my efforts to find it that made me crash down from about 5th after 2 laps, and then I stupidly crashed because I was looking at the times. Idiot. 10th
Race 2: supreme fast circuit, some lovely lines to take and a brave leap of faith just after the 1st corner. I knew I wouldn't do bad here as I felt comfortable in practice, and I got into a nice rhythm and didn't make many mistakes. But as with any fast circuit, one error can lose several seconds, especially that one where you get stuck to the wall of a curve cos you're going too fast, so my multiple scrapes cost me a place or tow .... 1 respawn through a misjudged wallride, but I can't complain about 7th. |

1st race:
crashy first four laps, got back to 19th and 20sec behind 1st, got forward slowly, had a great battle with yussuf until the last laps, had then nearly the speed of the top5, finished 6th.
2nd race:
started well, keeped me in top5, then people before/around me crashed (or got invalid times), could keep my 2nd place until the end without big mistakes.
