Very little practice for this event having my mind in the Indy500 instead of the race.
Qualy
-------
Times were improving as session progressed but a 1 23.8 wasn't enough to get close to Kristijan super times. At least enough for second place.
Race 1
--------
Everything was going fine in second place. Having Hector close behind but being able to hold him tanks to the track dificultness to overtake.
At the end of lap 9 I went for my pitstop but I was too fast on pit entry and therefore I got a drive through penalty. That put me in third place and I remained there for the rest of the race.
Race 2
--------
Disastreous race. I'd swear I had set first gear for the start but when I lifted the clutch I was still in neutral. Quickly set first gear but that costed me 2 places in turn 1.
I was in the traffic so I decided to do my pitstop at lap 3 to try something different and see if I could gain some places driving on my own and then defend by the end of the race.
But as I had my tires changed I didn't realise I was in second gear so when I was accelerating waiting for the rev lights to turn on I realised I was already too fast. That costed me a stop & go penalty and lose all chances in the race finally ending in 6th place.
Nikos, you were missed in timespeak, as you are the talkative one.
