Then, just at the turn in, someone pokes their nose inside of me. Wow, 3 wide through Curva Grande!? That's never a good bet. Going into that curve as the meat in the midlle of a 180mph sandwich, I ended up the loser. Now in P last, in an agitated mental state and the entire field several seconds ahead of me, I blow Lesmos 1 really bad (not on purpose ;D ) and my race ends.
The one inside was me, sorry about that, It felt that I was much faster when I caught you both also seemed to me that there was enough room for all of us. I am sorry that you paid for that, it is usually me
My report: I think this track owes me something. It is the second race that I feel really fast here and I think I deserve better >
Qualy: I did my PB, below 1:23:8, what put me 6 or 7th in the grid.
First race: I was keeping good pace and good position.
I think I was 8th before my pit stop:
During the 25 seconds it lasted I saw two racers packs approaching, 6 or 7 racers in first pack and another 4 racers or so in the second one.
It was clear to me that I was going to get out of the pit in the middle: Wrong! :o
My crew finished in 25 seconds but then I stalled the car and lost another 20 or more...
so I was 12th after pitting.I tried as hard as I could but I just managed to do some additional mistakes.
Second race: Started almost at the end of the grid, regained some positions before turn 1...after the incident, first lap, first turn I was last >
several seconds behind. Couldn't believe it.I drove like mad from then on, pace between 1:24 and 1:25, I even did one 1:23:9, my car felt steady and fast. I managed to pass a couple of drivers but missed my braking point while trying to pass Ed.
Then, I decided to do my pit stop, with better results this time.
Thanks all, see you soon.
