I ended exhausted, really, even thoughts about quit before finish line, round my head on the last 2 laps.
Qualy: 9.36 on my second attempt, enough for me and P9.
Race: I decided to make two initials 4 laps stints and ending with a 5 laps stint. Most of us choice the same.
Anyway, I start very calm and manage to be P9 at the end of lap 1, at this moment I was on my place, cant over take the car in front of me and been faster of drivers behind me, so I drive steady till first pit stop, waiting for the fall of some one above me to gain any position, just fishing...
By the end of lap 8, I was in P6, made my last pit stop and reenter the race in P10, knowing that somebody else was piting later than me, so, by lap 10 I was in P6 again but with Ed very close behind me. I managed to control him during this lap, but I feel so tired that begin lose concentration, cant believed that were almost 3 laps to finish, quiting thoughts was rounding my head, the pressure of Ed were growing, from the initial 15 sec. gap, he was 8 sec behind me at the begining of lap 11 and finally I make a mistake just at the start of the second sector, Ed overtake me and I really didnt have energy to follow him, so I let him go and trying hard to finish the race in one piece. Great race Ed!
Great Champ too, many thanks to SR4L, Paul and Nikos..and everybody here...Cheers for The Champ!
