I'll start.
Qualy
-------
Got some good drafts so I got a 34.4 which was enough for 4th place (All top 5 drivers in less that 0.1 seconds)
Race
------
I had decided my strategy for the race. Add some front wing to get better grip behind traffic and try to save as much fuel as posible. That way the longer my pitstop could be delayed the less fuel I had to add and therefore the less time I had to spend on the pits.
That worked and helped me stopping later than Kristijan and DjC and getting from the pits 10 seconds ahead of them (I refueled 18liters and pitstop took 73 seconds).
That put me in 2nd place as John Cook had a very different strategy (2 pitstops) after a crash and pitting at the early first caution of the race.
9 minutes to the end of the race I was 9 seconds behind John and reducing the gap 1 second per minute so it was going to be really close.
3 minutes to the end John was 3 seconds ahead having Ron behind of him when another caution yellow flag was called. Here is when things went wierd. I got the message to follow Ron so I slowed down right behind him. A few seconds later a message to follow the safety car appeared and so I did, for some reason that put me ahead of John and made me won the race, really strange. ???
Another strange thing that happened, around half race was that DjC and I got a 3-4 second freeze. This didn't have an effect on Kristijan and Marmagas which suddenly were 3-4 seconds ahead.
At that situation I tried some cooperation work with DjC to reduce the gap until he went for his pitstop.
