Hi all,
Qualy: My PB so far was 7:48 or so, I exited the pits with fuel for 4 laps and I did 8, 7:54 and 7:52, I thought that was a good time: 9th until Cookie in his last lap pushed me to 10th
First Stint:
My main fight was with Cosimo, in front of me, I pushed as hard as I could, that was risky at times but he didn't want to make any mistake to let me pass
At the end of 2nd lap, Rick came from nowhere and I couldn't keep him behind, so for a lap or so, he was the one putting pressure on Cosimo without any luck either, so he decided to step aside and let me by to try again :o
At last, at the end of my first stint, Cosimo made his mistake but just in the corner before 2nd carrusel, a couple of turns later, I did mine and Cosimo got back his position :
Then I went into pits and was 8th after my pit stop, drivers in front were too far and drivers behind seemed to be far too...
Second Stint:
I decided to do a easy lap after pitting, caring a lot for my tyres, I thought 8th was pretty good... but then Hector caught me...damn! He was fast, I was lucky that I was faster in a few turns to take a rest from him.
Anyway he seemed to have higher top speed, so he passed me on the main straight. Someone hat pitted in that lap so still 8th, good ;D
3 laps to go I think, I decided to drive safe and save that position...no! I didn't! Hector went wide soon enough and I regained his position, 7th! 8)
Hector was still faster than me, and that was scary because in some turns he brake much, much later than me. Anyway, he was struggling with his tires a lot and did a few small mistakes that allowed me to gain small gaps from time to time.
My last two laps were my fastest laps ever!! 7:43 and 7:42, when 7:48 was my PB before the race 8)
6th at the end, phew that was really impressive for me.
Thanks all for the fun and specially Paul and DJ to make this possible!
