here is my story... 
Doing some private testing manged to make a 1.18.900 so i was quite confident for the race but...big
disappointment since i only managed 1.21 in q and 1.20.4 (i think) in warmup...still cant understand why.
at race 1 made an awful start touching the wall with no damage but after T3 and a small off i was hit from behind
even i was careful being off the racing line...the rest was a disaster i want to forget...
at race 2 lost some speed at the exit of T2 but i was still able to reach T3 quite fast having Gorka behind me at the right.
DjC lost some speed having a small off and when reentered touched Gorka who touched me and i spinned and crashed with DjC
(i don't know why Gorkas replay isn't so true. (a bug?)
i had a very heavy car completely meshed up my refueling strategy so it was very dificult for me to make times close to 1.22.
BTW Well done team-ate!
In my life i have more than 70 races with in karting championship (open wheelers) and clio type cars championships.
I have started at the front row and at back and in between.I have to say one thing.
Especially in open wheelers the race starts at lap 2!
In lap 1 just defend clearly and wait.It is impossible to race in the same time with more than 3 opponents.
having an attacking attitude at the start, one out of ten you may gain some places most of the time you have problems...
Any way is a little bit controversial being the slowest at the grid to give advises... :-[
I was hit from behind 4 times in 5 races...so no fun for me
Even so cant wait for race 3... 8)
