A pleasant and relaxing race between 23.00 and 00.30
Not bad qualifi, 2nd position. Could compete for the pole, but Ryan's breakthrough in the last seconds deserves respect. I'm in the last three minutes of qualification already decided not to create too much traffic. Especially given the lack of warm-up before the race, I've dicided to focus on the upcoming race.
Start turned out normal. After Ryan's mistake, I went, even in the first place, but I understood that would not be able to keep behind Ryo for a long time. I drove too cautiously, as I now know, was afraid that I can ditch the car because of frisky start.
Because, I deliberately gave Ryan beat me in Adelaide, but the rest I decided to fight :tongue
anyway, we were with Ryo in one team :rally: :wink
.
Then there was a big fight with Dariusz. Sometimes I'm a little slow down his pace. Then I realized that I did not need so keep the car and could go much faster (as I was going after my pit stop), since the end of the race left me with another 35% of the engine resource.
At one of the laps in Adelaide, Dariusz was wrong with the braking and not divided highway with Norman.
On this, my direct fight with someone over until the end of the race. My task was only to gain advantage from third place and did not give completely relax Ryan.
But Rio was simply unbeatable.
Thanks to all for the race and Stewart for the organization. I began to realize that I like Endurance.
