PFI...MotoGp...Toseland...

It was a damp track we qualified on, at Pfi, which was misleading as the race was to show, and we qualified 6th...The CAP did the first half, on a drying circuit, attacking early to get heat in the tyres, the first clue that things were`nt right... it took more laps than usual to warm the tyres, and so the kart felt nervous particularly in the chicane, did the stops early to keep the heat in the tyres, but there was understeer everywhere, and at the close of the stint we lay in 5th.... That much underrated talent, the SPEEDICHIC, took over, and despite her best efforts she was frustrated to find that she could barely get into the 54`s..for someone accustomed to low 52`s , ouch!! We both had our scary moments with inexperienced backmarkers doing their best, badly! but one guy caught out the SPEEDICHIC, and she hit the barrier hard, and had to retire to the pits, her neck sore, where a dozy CAP was`nt ready!!!.... we finished 6th, but that was a poor kart by Pfi Standards.
The MotoGp was ace, a proper race at the front, Stoner took awhile to get to the front, and you thought, game over! but the cheeky, dogged, Lorenzo was`nt having that, and harried him in all but the last coupla laps, just behind was Pedroza,Rossi,Dovisioso,Toseland, and Edwards, all looking for that final podium... The TOSELAND got 6th, an amazing effort on his debut... keep it up James!!!
