Qually: not so good,8th .was faster in practise 2..:frown:
Race: went very good, finished 3rd only 0.007 sec behind nr 2(Duivelaar):tongue:
Before telling you all about strategy,tyres and everything else i really have to make a big big humble kneefall to Wesley Hartog.
ray:
That guy put in an incredibble amount of time just to make the race easier for me.
We (FDR and FCR) trained all week and he put in the most time of us all,without racing.:work:
He was my main man at the pitwall,telling me what to do and when to do it,no further fancy chit chat.
So a very big part of our podium finish is all his work,thx m8.:thanks:
He's all yours ::trophy:
Ok,the race.
After my teammate Hugo let me pass in t1,i was only looking forward.
Had a grea first few laps ,made a nice pass into the chicane.
All went well as some drivers made a 2 stopper i moved up some spots.
Our strategy was always a 1 stopper,rain or no rain.
Infact i was hoping that the (very) light rain would stay for a few more minutes because my car felt a bit better but that was not to be. :frown::rain:
After the pitstop and after the rest of the field had their (2nd) pitstop ,i was in greta position and started to belief in a podium finish.
There was 1 moment were i thought that i would not make it on my fuel till the end and did some laps with short shifting letting the guys in front slowly drive away,but Wesley calculated everything perfectly and once i realized that i went 100% again.
Jesper was just to quick for me but when he and Duivelaar started to battle it out in front of me i started really pushing and slowly closing the gap.
And in the last lap in the chicane Duivelaar went over the grass loosing exit speed which put me in his slipstream and it was a dragrace till the finish line.
Duivelaar beat me in the end with 0.007(!!!) sec ,unbelieveble.
This must be the closest podium finish in the history of the STC,lol.
Had a great race, first podium finish for FDR and belief me:the party that followed on teamspeak will be in my memory for a looong time
arty:
Thanks all for the fun and the great race,
Thank you everybody at FDR and FCR and like i said especially mr. Wesley :thumbup:
Cheers and 'till next time..
