his was just a plain awful event for me , for whatever reason my setups stopped working , in the week leading up to this I developed 3 setups which could get into the low 16s easily but on raceday none of them could get out of the 17s so I spent ages trying to understand what had changed and trying to find the lost time again .
Qually
Went out early and set a time I was happy with , I just kept my eye on Cookie who was a threat , but I kept the position .
Race 1
Got a good start and dropped in behind Gorka , I just wanted to stay near him until pitstops were over , lap 6 approaching last corner could see Connor going slow so pulled over to the right to pass him but then he went striaght across the track in front of me when I was flat out , there was no way I could avoid him so I ended up damaged and in the fence , pitted striaght away for 115secs and then just tried to make up places .
Race 2
Got a good start and stayed out of trouble , coming out of Tannery corner the 2 cars in front of me Oscar / Steve touched and pushed each other over , this gave me a good run on Oscar and I was alongside him and carrying a lot more speed going into next corner , I dont think he saw me and turned into me , that started the big crash at the bridge , I got hooked up in the fence and couldnt move and I couldnt quit out quick enough before the main pack arrived , race over .
