That chicane gonna be tough in 1st lap

Jordi Casademunt · Jul 10, 2012

It's like Monza, but uphill, with blind apex and kerbs that throw you to the moon if you dare to look at them.

So it'll be fine.

Edit: Will this be a standing start like Brasilia?

Jack Keithley · Jul 10, 2012

Was fun all the same which is all i was after - had some funny banter on TS with the guys on there too so good night overall.

Oh and the 53.8 was nice too

Qualified in 25th position and got off to a shocking start as I couldn't see the start lights. Rattled by that I ran wide at the 1st turn but settled down into my rhythm.

The start of lap 5 was carnage. K Cordice was off the track on the left hand side, J Johnson was on the right. K Hunter and S Webber had collided with each other and S Marques had collected them both. spinning across the track and right into my path.

Quite how I avoided them I have no idea but it was not by much. Lap 6 and 7 saw me chasing down D Begley and I had a great run out of the last turn and down the start/finish straight. But I was on the wrong line and out braked myself, running wide and letting the place get taken back. Annoyed with that I start pushing a bit hard and made more mistakes on that lap than I had in the entire race put together.

I kept gaining positions has cars fell out of the race for various reasons. I had got myself behind Martin Maaskant after he had run a little wide. I passed him after he made another small error. I then spent the last 8 or so laps looking in my mirrors as he tried hard to get the place back.

The chequered flag came just in time and there was less than 2 seconds between us at the end. I finished in 9th place, albeit a lap down to the winner Ivar Kalamees.

Huge congrats to Ivar for winning and cheers everyone for for a cracking race. See you on the tracks soon.

It is always nice to see yourself drive from another ones perspective. I remeber that one well. Just saw it happen in front of me and I took the right side to pass.
