20:58 finally i had time to fire up the pc.....due to father's day we had the parents of my wife over and her sister with kids blablabla.....bbq again was nice.
Nevertheless i managed to join the server right in time to do 2 laps in warm up before race 1...so no quali time set and obviously starting last on the grid.
In the weeks before i did lots of laps on this track but never was able to even come close to DJC's or David Hart's laptimes but in the training races i looked pretty consistent so i hoped i could be consistent in the real events also.
Race 1
Had a reasonable start and after 5 laps i had gained 8 positions my strategy was pitting in the 7th lap. Going into pit i was in 8th position but i fell a sleep in the pit
and missed the end of service time completely. Had a 48 sec stop but i think i was aware that i could take off again after 52 seconds [blink][big]OMG :-[[/big][/blink]. I aimed for a 10th finish which would give me a pole start for the second race but i only managed to finish 11th. But nevertheless was happy with the result gaining 9 places.
Race 2
Somehow the reversed grid didn't work out that well (no offence Paul wasn't your fault) so started 16th, and due to the question asked for doing it all over again in chat i messed up my start a little. But my pace was good and i managed to get to 6th position in lap 6. After pitting (this time staying awake 8)) i regained the race in position 10 and one lap later i was in 6th again. stayed there till the end of the race. Again happy with the result gaining 10 places and scoring points for the team.
Which leads me to this:
I really missed Hector (my teamy) and Marcel Wiegers (my dutchy) i know both of them did have a argument after last race at Brianza. Guys come on both off you are really friends of all of us and without you guys it still is fun but somehow i really really mis something :'( and i know i'm not the only one. So i hope both of you will come back and race with us again :-\
Thanks to all for again a great night of racing and thanks Paul for hosting.
Had a fun time
