The race was mega! My first win since 2019!
I'm not the fastest driver but I can do quite well if I understand the car and track and can find the motivation to do the necessary practice.
This little version of Monaco somehow hooked me to an extend I don't experience often and I did around 120 laps before this race over a period of 4 days.
I qualified 2nd, 0.2s gap to pole position and was quite happy.
But then I slipped the clutch when my partner went into the room when the lights came on so I had to start from the pitd with a 15s gap to the last car.
I was completely in the zone, did the best lap of the race, best theoretical lap of the race and had the best consistency of all.
I was a bit lucky that the leading car (pole position) did an early pit stop and got stuck behind someone who likes to battle.
I did my stop when I was closing in on the "best of the rest" in front (that all still had to pit) but had a big enough gap behind me.
The undercut worked well and I was in 3rd without really losing time behind any car.
The clearly slower drivers thankfully let me overtake without battling too aggressively after recognizing my pace.
The driver who likes to battle did a super late stop and when the theoretical leader did a mistake and they had a coming together through the Louis Chiron chicane I could avoid them and slip through.
Only then the "battle driver" did his pit stop.
Now it were 8 laps to go and I had a 2.5s gap to the pole position driver. I knew this could be my first win in years and it really was a game of nerves from there.
I managed to increase the gap slightly and then took less risks in the last 2 laps and brought it home.
I'm not sure if you were asking for a complete race report, but thanks to your track being so much fun for me, I could get the second win of my club racing career (started online racing in 2017).
So thanks again
