What a great race...
Quali went above my expectations. I am for sure not the best hotlap alien there is but i managed to drop my car on p4.
Then the race: Yes, i was pretty nervous. First i had to pay attention to the formation lap but that went smooth this time. After the green flag the nerves changed into adrenaline and of we go. In front of me there was Miko and in the first laps i noticed that i can't hold his pace. the 3 aliens in front of me where going faster and faster so i had drive my but of to keep the gab as small as possible.
On my tail, lets say 2 inches, there was Marco and he was definitely aiming for my 4th position. Marco and i had a great battle till the nasty sharp right hand turn made an end to our fight. I lost control and that cost me 3 places. At that point i activated my TURBO.EXE (located in my right foot). I was driving in a group of 4 and we had a great fight. Ludovic and Andreas were in front of me and Kevin was hanging on my tail. Andreas forced his car out of the track so that gave us a free spot. After some corners i managed to pass Ludovic and all i had to do now was to get rid of the chasers. But hey, i hat my TURBO.EXE activated and that helped me a lot. I was driving on p4 now with some free air around me. Then it was time for my first pitstop, unfortunately 1 lap to late, so that cost me some time. Comming out of the pit i was on p10, just in front of Ludovic. After some nice battles i was on p5 with Kevin on a save distance (6 seconds or so). That gave me the free space again to re-activate the TURBO.EXE and there we go again. From p5 to p4 was easy because there was somebody trying to make a 1 stopper (i think). But hey, you don't hear me complaining
After some nice laps on my own it was time for my second pitstop. I don't know how Kevin did the trick but he was way in front of me when i left the pit. So the new goal was set. I had to close a huge gab to get my p4 back again. After a few laps i realized that it was an impossible mission and i decided to be happy with my p5 and bring the car home in one piece. But sometimes you need a little luck, and thats happened to me
Kevin had a freeze ore something like that and suddenly he was right in front of me. Kevin and i had a great battle and on the first corner after the long straight i managed to pass.
Yessss, i was back on p4 again and i didn't plan to give the spot back.
Bringing the car home on p4
Thanks all for this great race and grats to Marcin, Rami and Miko, the winners by far...
