Ed,
Don't bother.
On second thought, take a picture of me crossing the start/finish line in
reverse  from the side view. I want to use it as a desktop background.
Thanks
grub

As I already said I was trying to be extra careful because it
was clear that I would be able to keep up the pace of the
leading cars on the outside.

Sorry if I slowed too early, but I didn't want to put on full
brakes on cold tyres 8-(

There's nothing wrong in being careful Uwe. In fact I wish we *all* were a
bit more gentle on the restarts....

What really fooled me though, was the "mixed signals".  I saw that you got a
much better start than Don, so I did what any other racer would do - I
followed. I had no intention to pass you though.
I was expecting that you would - like me - brake early into T1 but, I just
wasn't expecting it that early.

Anyway.. let's all learn from this and move on.  With some luck we'll avoid
similare things in the future :)

Only if you chop up the track as well.

Do Darlington while you're at it :)
