Full of incidents during the race. No one to blame, as "race opener" you usually get the worst of the traffic.
Qualy
------
Didn't know what times I could achieve. In a driving like crazy lap I reached 14s. I thought that was enough. For a moment I was having the pole position untill DjC took it for 70ms. Really close.
Didn't push any longer as I wanted to save my energies for the race.
Race
------
I couldn't hear the siren sounds on the start. Just had to rely on the timing on the hud. Not the best of starts but enough to get turn 1 in first place.
Race went by with lots of traffic, that made me lose all my advantages, first with Rik, which I had a 5 second advantage when we was able to get in second place.
I also had a small crash just prior to Rik's first one. One car was battling Paul just ahead and finally crashed just being thrown in front of me. That made me hit his rear and damage my front. From that moment my car was understeery which, alongside heavy traffic, helped DjC getting closer to me.
Many dangerous situations took place, just too many coin tosses, finally luck wouldn't be on my way.
Approaching a lapped car at the tunnel he was quite a long way ahead, I had no worries for early braking for the chicane, but unfortunately as I was braking I saw the car was way too slow aiming for the entry.
I had to brake as hard as I could to avoid touching him. So I did but I lost the rear on the entry of the chicane hitting the barriers, spinning and being a wall for DjC and Rick. I got my front left lost in that incident.
Went for repairs, 2+ minutes and went back on track completely out of focus. 2 laps later I went to visit Rik in his pineapple house under the sea.
Accidents happen, better here than in other tracks. Maybe we should reconsider Monaco when we race this type of cars where racing speed differ a lot between drivers.
