TSS round 5 and Bathurst 1000

Another round and another Bathurst 1000 run and won. Every year I wonder when I might get the chance to race at Bathurst???? Congrats to the winners. It was a good race up till the first safety car period, then they just seemed to keep coming which was a shame. At least the car that won was up there all day and didn't win with help from the pace car laps.

Round 5 of what I compete in, the Tas Super Series (and 20th annivary HQ nationals) was held on the 27/28th of Sept at Baskerville.
I had a layed back approach to the weekend figuring I hadn't been enjoying the racing as much as I should be. I had done as much to the car as I could to that point and had no more money to spend on it. As it turned out despite some minor disappointment I had some great racing and dicing and finish 4th for the round. I am now only a few points off 3rd place with a fairly big gap to 5th so baring any mishaps I may well finish 3rd (outside chance of 2nd) at season's end.

I qualified 6th and my race results were 5th, 4th, 6th, 4th, 3rd and 7th. Very up and down but I really couldn't do anything about it. I mostly made up places by others people's misfortune.

Great dicing

I was expecting to run a bit faster than I did, only managing a 61.8 fastest lap for the day. The car is almost the same as it was for Round 1 but that day I recorded a 61.2 and was right on the pace. So Ive taken the plunge and brought some higher octane fuel and will have the car tuned again as more power is achievable using the higher octane. Only hope that it all works out and come the next round at Symmons Plains on Nov 9th that we can give the leaders a run for their money. But only time will tell.
