All in all – two great races for me!
Considering that it was my first finish in 2016 after a "disconnect from server" during the Nordschleife race and disaster in the first race in Bathurst (due to wheel disintegration). Since also Andi didn't bring the big points home in Bathurst, it was also a great to have earned some points for the RLR Team in Mid-Ohio
Q // I was more than satisfied starting from P5 although I was off by 0.6 from my PB. anyway, even with a PB I wouldn't have gained another place.
R1// I had a good start keeping David behind me and keeping out of trouble. Dave was smart pitting early and doing an undercut. My pitstop was not perfect and I got stuck a bit in traffic. David did just the right thing, respect! However, I finished 5th and I was very happy with that.
R2// Start (from P6) was tough. The guys ahead tried to go 3 wide into T1, which obviously didnt work. I kept out of trouble and went ahead, but soon DJ managed to overtake me. Round 2 (or 3?) was when everything went out of control. My teammate Andi spun onto the grass in T2 in front of me. Even worse, we touched when he tried to rejoin the race track. No bad feelings, but I guess it looked a bit odd on TV. Half a lap latter I got turned from the back in the Carousel. Again, I had to find my way back to the race track. From then on I had a decent race finishing 6th.
Looking forward to Zandvoort!
