This was my first ever race at the Macau Grand Prix!
I went in 2014, but due to an engine issue, I crashed in practice and was unable to race.
Here's some info on the video for you:
Approaching the start, I deliberately turn the engine off at 0:30 and coast to the line. I did this as in Macau due to the humidity and heat the engine temperature was already quite high, so I just gave it a few extra seconds off to try and keep it as cool as possible. The ideal engine temp is around 70-75 degrees and it was already at 85ish!
The lights normally turn on for between 2 and 5 secs - but not today!! They were on and off very fast and I get a bad start as wasn't expecting it! 0:57
Chasing Rutter and Jessopp 1:19 and breaking away from Hutchy.
Martin Jessopp gets away really well - whatever tyres he has on are ready from the off and he has his head down making a break for it. 2:10
Whereas I am more cautious during the first lap, making sure I get the front tyre up to full working temperature, which is very important.
My confidence at the start of lap two in the Dunlop tyres is now 100% so I have to start catching Jessopp! If he manages to extend the gap anymore it will be difficult to get back! He already has 2 seconds on me!
5:31 Not helping myself when I reach the hairpin and miss a gear - but head down and keep chipping away! Even us pro's make mistakes sometimes!
We skip some laps between 3 and 8 as there's no overtaking, just me slowly closing down Martin.
I finally get close to Jessopp around lap 8 6:20 and he knows I'm getting near. My @DunlopTyresUK tyres are working perfectly and my confidence is growing all the time. 6:53
I pass him on lap 9 9:00 and pull out a good gap, going onto the last lap 11:27 was a 4.5-sec lead and at the end, it was 6.52 seconds.
I end the race with a mint stand-up wheelie over the line!!
Massive win for myself and the Briggs BMW Team! 13:50
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
