Assen was really fun. The weather was largely great, all participants were in a
good mood. Most cars have kept up (which, oddly enough, is always a problem at
Assen).
After a solid 2nd place in Race 1, a failure with a pushrod damage in Race 2,
made me start from the back in Race 3. I got help from Philippe Vermast. He had
suffered an engine failure, but could find a replacement engine and shared in
race 3 with me the last row.
Philippe immediately took the lead in our Dynamic Duo and we made our way
through the strong field of cars ahead.
Although I was the first to cross the finish line, unfortunately I did an
unnoticed overtaking maneuver under the Yellow Flag. So I was reset by 20
seconds, on P4. Of course I'm happy for the winners on the podium, because I
had had so much fun in this catch-up race. Philippe had also enjoyed the
furious ride. Unfortunately, he touched a tire barrier in the chicane and bent
the steering. He did not reach the finish.
