Qualy
-------
Better than I expected, never had gone below 1:22 when practicing offline so I was surprised to get 21s quite often and also pole position, probably more rubber on track.
Race 1
--------
Not well concentrated during the first laps, a bit tension that caused me to make a few mistakes causing Dj to overtake me. Being behind him it was imposible to pass him, he defended his position so well even when he made some mistakes too.
Fearing this could be the same as in Sebring I decided to pit earlier on lap 9 to try to get the fresher tire advantage (but having the risk of being stuck in traffic).
Pitstop was perfect, 24sec. I had a couple of cars ahead but I could push my outlap to the limit. As I passed the finish line I saw Dj still on the pitlane. With eleven laps to go all I had to do was drive without mistakes, so I did, kept concentrated and brought the car to a win that tasted so good.
Race 2
---------
Starting 10 I tried to stay away from trouble the first curves. The grid move pretty well and clean. This first laps were all mad and fun at the same time, lots of cars overtaking each other. I was quite enjoying it even making a mistake after the hairpin, going through the grass at corner exit and losing 4 positions.
It was lap 3 when Christian, ahead of me went for a very early pitstop, that is a risky move but it can bring him to victory, I thought. I decided to keep on track and see if I could deal with traffic. I overtook a few cars and found myself 5 seconds behind David Coyne who also was behind Dj leading the race.
I tried the same move as in race 1 going for an early pitstop. I entered on lap 8, exited a couple of seconds ahead of Christian and pushed hard on the next two laps with the fresh grippy tires. I then found myself in virtually second place 3 sec behind Dj.
I was comfortable behing Dj thinking of second place as a very good result when we approached a couple of drivers who were in a fierce battle. DjC couldn't find a way past them for a lap when after the long straight I saw a big cloud of smoke and Dj going through the grass between the other two cars.
I god the lead there and drove the next 4 laps to bring the car to victory. A victory that Dj deserved but that's the unfair part of racing.
