Mi report.
Qualy
-------
Took fuel for two flying laps. I aborted the first lap after a mistake and in the second flying lap did a 3.53.X which at the end was enough for third place.
Race
-----
Started safely on the rubber side and overtook D Coyne who probably was struggling for grip. It was a nice first half of the race always close to DjC and sometimes even battling him. Struggling a bit after his turbulence at turn 10 I locked up the front right tire and started having vibrations on the wheel. D Coyne wasn't far enough always being visible on my mirrors.
It was lap 14 and time to do the pitstop. Brain started thinking on how to approach the pitlane when I run wide at Indianapolis, losing good seconds to get out of the gravel and also losing position to D Coyne.
After the pitstop I started pushing hard to try to catch both Davids but that only increased damage to tires and mistakes. Finally having a couple more incidents at the very Indianapolis curve and therfore losing a lot more time there.
The final 10 laps were difficult having tires already in yellow status after my mistakes and had to drive well concentrated in big wheel vibrations.
At the final lap D Coyne did some mistake too and found him like 5 seconds ahead but not enough to catch, so finally ended third.
Now time to start packing things, 4 very busy weeks coming ahead.
Kudos to everyone finishing the race. Finally it didn't look to last as much as it may but shoulders say they need a bit of resting.
