Well well well… My unexpected result at Shangai sees me top of WDC for the 1st time! Plus, Kamui’s not too shabby 5th pos pushed us to the top of WCC also!
At this point I’m thinking I’m getting away too easily with my current difficulty settings, and am considering going up to Legend difficulty. Except, I didn’t do too well on Season 1 in Istanbul, so I’ll just lay in wait, see how that race pans out.
Istanbul… It doesn’t seem to get much love, but I’ve grown into that track, especially the 2 1st sectors and their blind corners. Only sector 3 is plain boring, except when it comes to play with getting on the edge of corner-cutting on the last corners…
But race is now on in Istanbul!
Let’s face it, Practice was quite easy on me, finishing FP2 & 3 in 1st pos. Not by a big margin though, like 4 tenths.
Then things started to change in Quali: after two easy Q1 & Q2 on Inters, I found myself struggling to secure a high grid position in Q3, only managing 6th. Mostly because of changing weather conditions that caught me off guard… I should have made yet another lap as track conditions were improving, but at the same time I wanted to save my tyres for an OPO strategy.
We’ll see now whether I made the right choice…
