It's lonely out there

2nd race of the day was non-championship, and given the cracking fun of race 1 I was really looking forward to a second shot at improving my finishing position. Start was good, but after a few laps the grip seemed to disappear, leaving me working hard to keep Jon Halliwell behind.

The tyres were the ones I'd used for qualifying & both races at Brands Hatch, plus all of the Rockingham testday, so I guess they had lost their edge. inevitably, Jon got past me on lap 5, leaving me is the massive gap between 6th and 8th.
