Qually
Set a reasonably low 52 on my first run but I knew I could break into the 51s so went again , got where I wanted to be and then Dan who is now getting a handle on these cars pushed me down , I went out and tried again but couldnt better his time .
Race
Fortunately 2nd on the grid gave me the inside line to turn 1 , I just had to make sure I got there before Dan . Got a good start and got myself alongside Dan for the corner entry I just managed to edge in front and was trying to gain as much speed through the Esses as I could as I knew Dan would murder me on the striaght , much to my surprise it was JP in my mirrors , he pushed me hard for a few laps then made a mistake which let Cookie through , Cookie then started to take time out of me slowly , I didnt want him to get near enough for me to start defending as that would slow me , so I decided on an early stop so I could lap in clean air and let JP and Cookie slow each other fighting for position , this paid off later in the race as I ended up back in 1st a couple of secs in front of JP who I slowly managed to edge away from .
Some good racing here from everyone on a nice track , I was pleased to see my teamie get a good result after all his early struggles in this season , GULP now Monaco .
