Re: SR4L Fun Event Rnd 6 Malaysia
Another great night of racing with you guys.
Great respect on track too, and that's quite difficult with 3 differents cars.
About my evenning :
Qualy : Two good laps.
My best was 1 39 3xx, very good time.
With all my best sessions sectors that could have been 0.4 faster but it seems like everyone was in that case. Nothing special, I put a good lap, I got the pole.
Race : Okay, here come THE big part. We were all a little bit worried about this hour of racing I guess, never done anything like that on rF2 before.
So I tried to take a good start and to not burn my rear tires before the T1. Everything went better than expected as I took some space, that give me the good conditions to start to preserve the tires.
I did one little mistake during this first stint, I was put under presure by Marcel, who was very close, less than 2 seconds for a long moment, I tried to really think about the tires first and not giving him a DRS opportunity.
I was lucky enough with the traffic as that help me to put some more gap between Marcel and me.
At this point we were looking at who was going to pit first, Marcel did it after 20 laps.
I tried to give me an advantage for the end of the race by putting 2 more laps before my pitstop.
At the beginning of the lap number 23 there were 8 seconds between us, that's not a big gap.
With fresher tires I went faster and with only 1/3 of the race to go I wasn't thinking much to take care of them.
And I did a mistake, cost me just one second but could have ended my race.
I was pushing quite hard and I locked tires at T1, almost spun. That burn my tires but after one lap they were good again.
I made it until the end without much trouble.
