Qually
Went out early and was doing ok until I caught up to Rick who was doing a full outlap , coming out of last corner before the long striaght he lost it and spun across the track so I had to back out and avoid him, this cost me the speed on the long striaght but still netted me a 9.22 , going off practice times I thought this would be ok for 4th but Juraj popped one in and pushed me back to 5th :-[.
Race
Got a clean start and held position , chased after Juraj trying not to use my tyres too much , stayed this way until he went wide at Kallenhard when I slipped through , started to pull away and over the next laps got a healthy 12 sec gap .
Pitstop 1 went ok but I was too tentative on the approach , this became apparent on the next lap when I came up to Juraj just exiting the pits , he had got past me again, chased after him but held back until we got on the long striaght when I used the draft to get by , then slowly pulled away and built the gap again.
Pitstop 2 went OK and I was more aggressive in the approach so as not to let Juraj gain on me again , this time I held position and after that I just tried to keep it on the black stuff , fatigue set in and I was struggling with concentration for the last 2 laps (dont you think of stupid things when your mind goes wandering) but fortunately managed not to fall off and got a 3rd place , I was well pleased with that.
Sorry Cookie the number 3 is mine again for now , but I think I will need some luck to hold on to it.
Its been a great season well attended and well run , I had lots of fun , thnx to everyone involved . :-*
Well done Rik your a worthy champion but now you have destroyed us all wouldnt you like to do something different , like Tetris ;D
