Qualifying: I noticed that some people were racing the winged version of the Spark. Being in the normal one, I got jealous and swapped cars with just 5 minutes left, abandoning my already qualified grid position. Once I quickly applied the wings to the spark I got back and last lap I placed myself in front of Bryan by a minor 0.004 seconds.
Race 01: Don't remember much about the first race, just that I span a couple of times and finally into the barrier, so I messed that one up completely.
Race 02: Somehow at the start, a lot of people stalled and I managed to gain some positions from 18th. At the last turn of lap one, I was 12th but I bumped into two cars battling eachother. Couldn't react fast enough to avoid bumping them. So I spun out and spent a lot of time in the pit afterwards. After the pitstop, I had another similar collision so spent some laps with a slightly bent wheel, but luckily managed to finish the race.
Race 03: Gained the lead during first lap and held that position but made some minor mistake so DjC caught up with me. Decided to go for an early pit stop so I hopefully could catch the pace again. Before entering I decided to scrape off some fuel, thinking that I wouldn't need so much. Made another mistake after pits so got taken over by two but gained up eventually. Many laps to go and I was making good pace, can honestly say that I was in "the zone".
Then I saw something in my rearview mirror. It was "M Wiegers" sneaking up on me. Fear struck upon me, knowing that he was faster than me. At the time the only solution I found was pushing the throttle harder. Going faster and locking up my tires didn't matter to me because I was defending my position. He was getting very close and I had to cut the inside at T3 a little, nearly causing at collision. Laughing thinking that it did the job but it had no effect on him. Another lap went past but before the last turn I noticed that my fuel was at almost zero. Quickly refocused on the track but it was too late. I cut the curb too much and jumped over it, spinning out my car. I could see the bastard smiling as he went by me. I place my car on the side feeling defeated.
No drama added to this story. It really was like this...
Better luck next time. Intense races, despite bad luck I enjoyed it a lot.
Congratulations to Marcel and the other winners.
