Was quite pleased to qualify P7 with the Cooper. Couldn't take advantage of a good start because of the poor start in front of me, and lost a position until someone went off at the chicane. A silly mistake on my part near halfway spun me around adding 17 seconds to my lap time and dropping several positions, but managed to bring it back to P7 at the end (though less than 17 seconds behind P6, alas). Using the car with the least power means I have little chance of catching anyone on the straights, but I do enjoy driving it anyway. My go-to cars in GPL were the Eagle and the Cooper (when not racing in a league that required changing cars every race -- we'd do one-make races, then pick-your-car-but-can-only-use-each-car-once races), and I wanted to bring some variety to the grid so I stuck with the Cooper. It'll be a much bigger disadvantage at Spa next week!
