Before the event I choose the F2 because I love this car, I got a special feeling with it.
Giorgio was very kind to make a special skin for me, thanks you again mate.
But that was a choice that forced me to set the car in a way to optimize the speed and the pace after the point where the car is confortable to drive.
I had a lot of scary moments during the event and before the race, I spun in every single stint I started.
I gained some confidence when we tried pitstop and found that the F2 guys will gain almost 10 sec on the F3.5 guys in the pits.
Qual: I pushed really hard for this one. I knew I had to take pole or to be in top 3 on the grid to have a chance because of the difference between F2 and 3.5 I'll have zero chance to make a move on Marcel or Speedster, even if I was a little faster.
I did 1 25 305 on my first run, could have done maybe 2 tenths better but not much.
Really happy with the pole.
First race: Good start, I tried to put a gap big enough to be sure the guys behind with 3.5 can't overtake me before T1. But in lap 2 I did some mistake that cost me time and guys were closing on me, in the last sector something happened behind me and gave me a lot of space.
I tried to do good laps, some were very close to the crash.
I pited late and was 2nd behind Marcel, I was closing the gap on him and he didn't made his pitstop at this point so I was okay, clocking 1 25 3 again, but we entered the last lap and Marcel was still in front, that was disturbing and I had too much thinking about all that, I did a mistake that cost me 4/5 seconds and I cruise the finish line 10 sec behind Marcel, with a pit in more.
Second race was going to be terrible to me because the F2 have a lack of vmax and I prepared myself to be stuck in the trafic.
The start was difficult, some guys try to brake like they're alone, that's not racing skills...
I had damage before T1 (in straight line...) but I gained positions because some guys were already out and others in gravel.
Was pushing a lot with a fast guy just behind me and I managed to close on the leader, mister Everon with who I went into a rude fight for the lead.
We had different car and different pace, and more different braking points, that was very difficult.
I tried several time at the chicane but I didn't understood his moves, that wasn't closing the door before mid corner, that wasn't okay I give you space after mid corner.
There were some contacts and I finally passed him.
After that, I did some laps to give me space and I did my pitstop, with fresh tires I did 1 25 4xx and cruise to the finish line.
And once again, a big thanks you guys from this community for sharing passion with people.
