Quali:
9th place which is fairly good for my standards.
Race 1:
Had a good start and saw Cosimo go thru the grass, so i tried to pass him on the outside. We clipped and went off together in some sort of swan lake dance act. (race accident Cos imo) So started of in last place and tried to gain positions. Had a nice fight with Nikos until we went side by side into the last corner (me on the inside). Going into the corner a bit to fast and made a memorable drift into it, but lost Nikos along the way. So felt guilty because i thought i took him out. Finished 9th same place where i started of. but good thing was i had the second start spot for race 2.
Race 2:
Starting from second spot and knowing i can start fairly well and had a reasonable pace during practise last weeks i started confident of finishing this race in a good way.
T1 i was in first place and felt Tim's breath in my back. In my mirrors i saw DC closing in on Tim and the latter one was getting busy with DC which gave me some air. At one point DC overtook Tim and was closing in on me. I gave him a fight i was worth for but at some point started to make mistakes giving DC room to pass me. Not long after that Rikard and Kane came into sight (that is in my mirrors) Rik passed but i managed to keep Kane behind just a little bit longer. But he also was way faster then me and at some point he took a shot at me and we clipped a little in the middle of turn 10 (i think) No harm done Kane but i tried to keep up with him and messed up big time the next turns. Got damage after a spin and limped back to the pits to get repairs. 90 second stop *sigh*. Came back on track and tried to save what could be saved, which turned out to be not much
Along the way trying to make some places up i ran into Tim in the last turn, Sorry Tim my fault i was to close behind and when you had to brake i had no room what so ever to avoid running into you. I don't even know for sure what place i had in the end only thing i know was that Rikard needed a fairly long time to get near me and lap me which he did in his last lap. So my pace really wasn't that bad.
All in all bad results but fun races.
Thanks again Paul for setting this up and all contenders for showing up.
Also want to thank Nikos for moderating this site and keeping all of us together.
