I wasnt looking forwards to this event , for some reason I had a mental block on setups and how to drive this circuit , I couldnt get a setup that didnt destroy tyres .
Qually
Went out but struggled to get a good time , ended up in 8th
Race 1
Got a good start and made up a couple of places before turn 1 , managed to keep a hard charging Andi behind me whilst I tried to settle down , chased Ramon and was doing ok for a few laps but then my front left started giving out , pitted early and came out on clear track , came up to Nikos and misread his intentions so ended up putting myself of track , rejoined behind Ed but couldnt keep pace but managed to finish in 6th .
Race 2
Got a good start but couldnt get past the guys in front until they made mistakes a couple a laps later , was in the lead for a while but DJ was hunting me down , let him past as my race was with Ramon , did an early pitstop and again came out on clear track , 2 lap later I passed Ramon exiting the pits , he slowly reeled me in and then we battled away for a few laps , he was faster than me but I was better on the brakes so I managed to hold him off until lap 15 , by then my left front was dead and I was struggling to get round the last corner , he got me and slowly pulled a gap but I still finished in 5th so I was happy .
