What happend was that I got the best start and made it to turn 1 first, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEND TO ME BEFORE, It completely through me and I didn't know what the hell was going on then I went into druids way to slow and didn't get a good drive out either then Niel Dived up the inside at Graham hill bend giving me a bit of a fright, (I've never been overtaken before), and I went wide and slow into Graham hill bend as well, then as always happens when you cock up a corner you cock up the next one as well. In the time i was poncing about Neil had pulled quite a gap alwready, So, I could still see him and set about trying to catch up, which in 1 or 2 laps I had, I caught up just as we got to druids and I tried to round it a bit quicker than him to get the advantage on the drive dowm the hill........ thats where it went wrong. I ran too wide on the exit and took to the kirbs then the rubber stuff then the grass, then I tried to rejoin the track but there was such a big bump I lost control again and went off the other side at Graham hill bend by the time I rejoined the track I was at the pit lane entrance half way along the cooper straight and in 5th or 6th place!
