Haven't posted in a long time as sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery and I've been out of action for 5 months. Getting back into things and was helping this guys and his team out for the weekend.

He had car problems just before the race and had to start at the back of the grid. He then went from from P33 to P4 in 20 minutes, overtaking 29 cars on the way, no Safety Car help either.

Well worth a watch, most of the action is in the first 6 minutes but 17mins on is worth a watch also.

PS. This is not the famous Lotus overtake clip from Australia, that guy def seemed to have a car advantage, this series all the cars are equal.

Very impressive. He is so much later on the brakes and carries more speed through the corners well worth the watch :thumbs:

he is normally a top 5, often top 3 driver so quicker than all those he overtook but impressive that he could actually get it all done in the 20 mins.

Great stuff, he seems to be back on the power way earlier than a lot of the people he's competing against.

Bit of a cheeky move through the gravel at Fogerty esses 5:10.

Yes, he thought he might have been pulled for that but they either missed it or didn't want to spoil his day :)

PS. Jason (driver) is a slow-in / fast-out style driver, he just needs to carry a touch more entry speed to be a race winner
