Let's start
Qualy.
As expected Marcel was on pole. I was able to get second which was in my expectations.
Race1
Pole here is a bit of a problem as that's the dirty line while second grid place is set parallel to pole position and in the clean lane. A bit unfair.
That let me take first position at the start. Lots of battles trying to defend my position with Marcel and from the atacks from Nik and David Cr. at the end. Finally able to end second.
At some moment I saw David Cr spun at turn 3, he was battling Nik, don't know if there was contact there.
I had an incident two laps to the end at the first turn with Nik. He tried the inside, I'd say i left him enough room but we touched spinning both (lucky to quick restart engine as the car was moving just shifting first gear and fully releasing clutch).
Don't know why I felt quite comfortable at Qualy with this setup but during race had lot's of traction problem. Changed to a different setup for the next races.
Race 2.
with the green track surprise I could not take Marcel's position at the start. At turn 1 braking, as it was all green cars started locking and I saw some cars aproaching like bullets through the mirrors. With the fear of being hit by someone losing it there I decided to "take" the shortcut through turn 2 and let Marcel and Nik pass me at turn 3 braking. At turn four I saw Marcel go a little wide and Nik started going sideways. I tried to brake but just could not avoid Nik. Hit him and I spun losing a hell of positions. The rest of the race was a battle for positions. Don't even remember where I ended.
Race 3. Reverse grid. Start was carefull and clean. At turn three Everon undeliberately hit me from behind and sent me to the last place (Accidents happen). The rest of the race was a battle for positions, ending finally 4th, 3 secs behind 3rd place. Some heavy battles at the front between Nik and David Cr.
