Thanks for tonight guys 
I had fun, as always.
I had no idea how good my race pace was. Not so much practice before the weekend and saturday I could barely get up because I was sick. Fortunately I was able to practice on friday, and today (thanks to the pain killers). I knew 2:10 was possible and a few hours before qualify I managed 2:10.9. I was not sure how fast the other drivers were, but Robert only 3 tenths slower so I expected a very tough qualify session.
QUALIFY
Went out early and my very first lap was 2:10.7. Really good already and I managed to improve it to 10.4 later. No one was even close to beat that which surprised me a little
First pole this season 8)
RACE 1
Bad start, I had no grip at all. Felt like the rear tires were spinning on the white lines. Gorka or DJ was close behind in the braking for T1 but I braked late... a little to late maybe, but I managed to hold on to 1st place through the first corners and while Rob, Gorka and DJ was fighting for 2nd I could run away and build up a comfortable lead. Robert finally took 2nd place and when we entered pit by the end of lap 7, he was a few seconds behind. 48 seconds, quite good. But of some reason I was a bit distracted when I was about to leave pit and recieved a stop and go penalty!!! Oh, I was so pissed off :p I decided to push as hard as I could to be able to make it top 10 at least after my stop and go. Actually I managed to improve my pole laptime but then I made a little mistake and ran wide into the gravel and lost 3-4 seconds. I was quite dissappointed when I finished 2 seconds behind Coyne and Gorka at last, knew that it could have been 3rd despite my penalty :p
RACE 2
Started from 7th I think, but it should have been 5th. Anyway, a bad start once again and I saw DJ overtake me before T1. But I decided to go on the outside and that was the right choice. By the end of first lap I was in the lead and could once again build up a comfortable lead. This time I made no mistakes at all. 47 seconds pitstop, no speeding. Finished 18 seconds in front of Robert who took 2nd place. Finally both Hedlunds in the top!
