was a nice race.....but i wasn't in my best form......monday i got a bit of temperature, again, but wednesday i felt better......i was late, so i joined the practice session in the last moment and so i didn't mine usual warmup......i was so late that i hadn't the time to go in bathroom (for the courious pee and s**t)!!! LOL
Qualy:
during qualy i had a PC crash and so i lost 10 minuts for that.....when i joined i started to do some hotlaps, but i was really slow and in some of them i did also cuts, so i was so afraid to be DQ......but in the last minuts i did a clean lap!!!
it was a bit slow (only 1.25.1....saturday on the same track i did 1.24.8 in practice session for the World Series) so i was a bit disapointed, but my time was enough to take the 3rd position!!! In front of me there were Coen and Olli and behind me Eliezer and my friend Alessio.
Race:
my start was carefully like usuall, but Alessio did a more good brake in T1 and he overtook me!
In T3 Olli spun and in the end of lap 1 in T14 Alessio went wide and i take the 2nd position.
Coen was more fast than me, but after few laps he went wide in T3 and so i tooe the lead for 2 laps.....
i tried to take him behind me, so i closed the lines in some corners, but he was really more fast than me, and i know that do that type of driving for 40 laps wasn't easy, so when i saw that he did T6 better than me and with a lot more speed, i did't force the brake in the next corner and i didn't close the line and so he passed me pretty easily and safely!!!
After that little fights i tried to stay focus and to not let him to increase too much the gap! He was on a more short first stint, and when was my time for pit stop, when i exit he was again near me.
But in few laps he increased a lot the gap, i had also some problems with lapped cars (for example i watched life the Werner crash in T1 and in fron of me happens also other things that make me think to not push too much), and when i saw that i got more than 40 seconds on the 3rd i just put my autopilot on. There were no sense to push or risk in this unforgivable track.
After the race i was really happy......a bit because i finished 2nd but more because so i was able to go in bathroom and give a brown big gift to my WC!!!!!
Tank you very much for the race!!! Congrats the podium and congrats to all the finishers!!!!
