I had great fun in my BT20, all that is finishing ahead of a single faster car is a victory (fool's consolation)
Qualy
------
Joining with the sesion started and no practice in three days made me lose time getting used to the car. I got faster laptimes at both races but I was happy enough with my 2:13.3, good enough for 13th place.
Race 1
-------
Many pile ups in the first lap. To avoid one of them I had to go through the gravel (gravel that has less grip than the grass in this track) and that costed me a lot of time, but many of cars ahead started crashing and that made me gain some nice position. 50 second pitstop cost me sixth place to Edwing, my crew must train harder when changing tires.
Finally finished 7th which was very nice for the BT20.
Race 2
-------
Starting on a green track the narrower tires of the BT20 suffered at the braking. Me and Brandom did a very good start in our BT20s in second and fourth place but he run wide at turn 1 and so did I braking for turn 2. We ended up rejoining the race in the final places.
As a hiena I lived from other cars remainings. I gained some places but again had a slow pitstop, 51 seconds. I rejoined 10 seconds behind Edwin and Dan. As they were at the same time distance I guessed they were battling for positions so I tried to go as fast as posible in case they made a mistake. But it was me who did the mistake and lost a big bunch of seconds. That brought Mel in his F1 3 seconds behind. I really struggled for the next three final laps trying to get a gap higher than 1 second to avoid being passed at the straight.
Finally the effort (and sweat) paid off and defended my position finishing in 8th place.
