Probably my best weekend ever in SR4L. Qualified 5th with a PB. First of the rest! Raced well and clean (mostly). Missed any early smash-ups. I was cruising in P3, holding off P4 Chris with a 1 sec gap. But about 5-6 laps in I had an unforced spin which dropped me back to P8. But I got my s*** together and continued on gaining a few spots as folks pitted. I somehow came out of my late stop in P3. Then at some point I glanced at the standings and saw myself in P2! Unheard of for me late in a race after pitting. I managed to hold off Chris again who was right on my butt for my best finish ever (at least when 3 or 4 of the big hitters are in the line up).
Second race I started P9 but with the big smash-up in T1 I came out in P4. Dueled with Daniel Tani for most of the race with him just ahead of me. He pitted first but then I came out of my pit stop a hundred yards ahead of him. He got by me but then we battles hard. I finally got by him on lap 15 for P3. Great racing! But it didn't last. All the while DC had been closing on us and he got by me on about lap 19. Great racing with everybody today! No Verstappen/Vettel crazy moves or blocks around me! Great pass DC for the position. Awesome control.
