Lost my wheel connection during qualifying in the first flying lap, so went into the wall, wheel completely bend so back of the grid for me. Luckily I had a perfect start and gained up to 12th position. First lap a driver span in front of me, but i couldn't avoid contact, bent wheel. Went into pits for repairs and decided to fuel up and do the tyre change.
Braking became much harder later in the race, many lockups which degraded my tyres even further. Scraped the wall many times so was lucky I didn't crash it. Went for a fix in the pits and hoping getting out in time, lost one position to Nikos but gained up on him, had a good fight and passed him.
Lap before last I thought I was home free but DjC was sneaking up on me. Front wheels locked up when braking downhill, span out, now DjC was right behind me at the straight. Couldn't hold him in the end, car damaged already and he was faster ofcourse. Scraped the wall again so let him pass, the last lap I had really bad tyres and was controlling the drift all the way. I finished 7th, so after all I'm a happy Darth Faber.
Good racing everybody, grats to those who crossed the finish line.
