Thrilling start to the season!
Qualified 8th or so, everyone seemed to unpack a spare second in qualy, but hey. Had a good start in race 1, made up a few places but on lap 4 exiting turn 1, there was a car facing the wrong way pretty much on the racing line. I tried to sverve but hit it anyway. suspension gone, race done.
In race 2 I started in P14, had a very good start and ended up 5th-ish at the end of lap 2. Had a fun fight with Tim, and managed to squeeze by in the last turn. After that I lost connection to the cars in front of me, but also behind me. Did an early pit stop to avoid traffic jams. After most drivers made their stop, I ended up cruising to 4th place, knowing that one those in front of me still had to pit. In the end that did not happen (Dan's piststop), but even just missing the podium was very satisfiying. And who knows, maybe I even gain another place after the stewards decide on that pitstop thing..
See you all in Oulton Park soon!
