Qually
I thought this would be all about who can get a good tow fortunately I latched onto Tobias at just the right place to get a great long tow , this clinched me 2nd .
Race
Got a good start , DJ and I were alongside each other to the first corner but I had the inside line so he dropped in behind , for the next 30 laps we passed and repassed each other ,neither of us could break away .
Towards the end of the stint I appeared to pull a small gap and I had the feeling DJ was suffering with tyres , although my own tyres were worn the car felt good and my lap times were still dropping . when DJ went to pit I still had 4 laps of fuel (I had messed up on my fuel load) and I could see traffic ahead , I thought there maybe a possibility of taking time out of him , I pushed and got through the traffic and pitted .
I came out 2 secs in front of DJ and decided to push like mad striaght off to keep him out of my draft , got a little hairy through the Lesmos on cold tyres but I survived , by the end of the lap DJ had got the gap down to 1.4 but fortunately thats as close as he got .
I think we were both doing qually laps for the next 30 laps , he trying to catch my draft and me trying to keep him out of it , the gap kept opening and closing as we hit traffic . We had one big moment when we came to lap Nikos he lost it and went airborne fortunately we both got through .
On the last lap I decided not to cross the finish line as I didnt want to spoil the championship for those that had competed all season , I had a great and exciting race with DJ and I was happy with that.
