Near the end of qualifying, I experimented with max camber, front and rear, and lost about 0.5 seconds to give me pole.

Race 1 was a clear track win from pole, no mishaps. I lowered the camber from qually to about 4.5° front, 2.0° rear.

Races 2 and 3 in the wet were a lot more hard work. It was really hard to pass Dave O, and Steve and I finally capitalised from a rub between Glenn and Dave that let us both past Dave. It was a good 4-way battle near the end of race 2.

Donington is a great track, certainly enjoy running here in any mod.
With very little ballast it saw me nipping on Wally's heals just .03 behind to take second in the grid for race one.
Not a good start and even worse turn one effort, not sure if I created havoc around me but, tried to regain the track with min fuss.
A couple of laps latter I picked up the groove and came home 4th... it was the race of the night for me.
Won't talk about race 3  ::)

Just checked the race stats and now remember race 2, the wet.  Hadn't even thought of let alone practice for rain, so with gaining some ballast and the wet I set out "to stay on the track" and it paid off and very happy with 3rd place.
And fastest time in race 1  ;D

A pretty good night for me on a good track.
R1: Just missed Bruce on T1 and then settled in behind Wally who I was never going to catch.
R2: Unfortunately after getting a bit of a run on Wally I didn't lift quite enough and tapped him which on a slippery track meant lots of spinning.
But from there it was a great battle trying to make ground whilst keeping it on the track.
R2: Turn one, the waters parted and through I went to grab a good lead that I was able to manage to the end for a win.
