First time on timespeak. I had a very good time speaking with you guys (my english is quite bad when speaking, but actually that was my first ever time speaking in english with other people). Let's hope more people join our timespeak channel during future events.
It took me a lot of work on sunday morning to setup the car as this track relays mainly on a good setup. I did all type of blind changes until I found a setup that at least kept the car driveable for many laps (still having understeer on the left front but at least it was manageable).
Qualy
-------
Got a 48.1, enough for 4th, not bat considering it was only 3 tenths from pole position.
Race1
-------
Yuri didn't make a good start in front of me so I had to lift and lost position to David in turn 1. Luckily for me he made a little mistake and I passed him again on the next corner. The next of the first stint of the race I kept trying to chase the main pack. Hector and Yuri started building a lead while kristijan started struggling with grip. That helped me overtake him around lap 14.
At the end of lap 16 I took my pitstop, 33seconds. After everyone pitted I was again on third position and remained there until the end of the race.
Race 2
---------
Starting 8th I went for turn 1 right behind David after a couple of cars crashed on the entry. David almost lost the tail on turn 2 and I tried a move through the left, but he defended the line and I had to move a bit to the grass not to touch him. A little bit of mayhem there, Kristijan and a white car touched each other touching me as I reentered the track and in the situation me touching Ricky too. He was about to spin as I touched his rear left so I throttle back again pushing his front left to end that spin and put his car straight.
Race went back to normal from this moment, after my 38sec pitstop I came back to the track in second place and I remained there getting a second podium finish.
