Qualy
Went out with intention of doing 3 laps as I found I always got my best time on that lap ,after that the tyres appeared to go off , I surprised myself and did a PB but I don’t know how , got 4th place
Race 1
Got a good start made up a place before turn 1 and was following DJ , he started drifting out wide and I thought he was going off so I backed off and got swallowed by Jason , Bryan and Everon , I thought I would do another lap behind them then pit and see if could get back past them that way , I managed to keep up a reasonable speed in the next stint and got back to 4th .
Race 2
Got a great start and slipped under DJ , went into turn 2 in second , I nearly fell off my chair in shock, it didn’t last long . Pitted early again and again came out in space so I could run my own speed , then Bryan arrived and for the rest of the race we had a good battle with the gap between us see sawing , fortunately I managed to keep him far enough away in the right places so he could not use his faster speed to pass me , Gorka then joined the fray and Bryan had his hands full defending so I managed to ease a gap .
Race 3
Got a reasonable start and picked my way through various incidents and finished the lap in I think 6th place , pitted early and came out in space so I got my head down I could see Bryan ahead so it was my turn to chase but I couldn’t make any impression on him , Marcel was behind and slowly reeled me in and passed me with 3 laps to go .
This was a great nights racing on a track that was very easy to overdrive on , for me on long stints the tyres felt strange , grip was there for 3 laps then dropped of for 3 laps but then appeared to come back strong , this happened in all 3 races , did anyone else experience this ?
