Mugello race report: That was the most exciting race I've had in quite a while. DJC and I were close in pace but it seemed our cars were set up quite differently and we extracted the most performance at different points in each of the two stints. I started from pole and DJC was putting me under pressure immediately. He seemed to have more downforce and I was having to take the inside of turn 1 early to block an overtake. By lap 6 I cracked, lost control and DJC took the lead but I managed to keep it pointing in the right direction and the gap was about 5 seconds. I caught up a bit and DJC pitted on lap 11, me pitting a lap later.
Pit stop was uneventful and when I emerged Dan was in the lead and DJC close behind me. From here it was head down and don't spin. Managed to get into a rhythm and kept it on the road to take the chequered flag. I'm finding this car quite tricky to drive and the default setup, while fast, is quite prone to spinning when going into a corner too fast. For this race I added some packers and it seemed to make it a bit better.
