Round 1 - April
9th 2000
...By the
end of lap one, Tanko's Shell car is filling my
mirrors. We arrive at top corner once more, I turn
in, look to the inside of the corner on my right
and see the Shell car - full lock on and wheels
locked up - heading directly to my driver's side
door. I turn left onto the slippery stuff to avoid
being t-boned and he passes me on the inside. Nice
one Tanko... (MORE)
Round 2 - May
28th 2000
. ..By now,
the left-rear of the car is feeling decidedly
awful. By top corner I realise that the tyre is
flat, but there are only three laps to go, so I
press on. The car is wild. Massive oversteer
(back-end slides) on every righthander (there are
four of them each lap) and the revs won't come up
as fast, not even allowing me to get to fourth
gear... (MORE)
Round 3 - July
2nd 2000
...As we
head towards the start line side by side, I
suddenly feel the car rock. Gary has decided that I
should not pass him and has turned into me. I
cannot believe it. All along in this series I've
been telling all who would listen that racing
involves technique, not brute force. Now here I was
using the very techniques I had extolled and this
character drives into me to try to stop me from
passing on a straight piece of road... (MORE)
Round 4 - August
20th 2000
...As we
head down the straight, something strange is
happening with the group of cars ahead of me. I see
what appears to be Ravi and David having a dueling
match in the middle of a bunch of others. They bang
into one another and Ravi goes off onto the grass
on the left, then comes back into David. Cars are
at very strange angles for a straightaway...

Round 5 -
September 24th 2000
...Two or
three times heading up to top corner I have to
float the gas to avoid running into him. We go into
top, Da Costa Jones, the lefthander and enter the
following righthander two abreast in very close
company, spray flying every which way. I back off
and tap the brakes to avoid running into Jason who
himself has had to avoid the same as cars ahead
struggle for room... (MORE)
