Q1 was very poor from me as I just can't put all my sectors together. Then again even if I could it would be a longshot to get into top 10. All SL cars were way off pace today. P17
Race. I had a good start leaping two cars and was in the middle of the track. I braked slightly too late with the cold tyres, locked up and slid off. Got back on track and was P13. I was thinking hm, not bad. Then I lost it under acceleration and fell back to where I started 16,17. The tyres were cold and I didn't do enough to warm them up during the formation.
Had a brief fight with Danny Roberts then he pulled away. Around lap 15 Philipp Puschke had a spin and rejoined in front of me. From then on I had to battle with him but I just can't get pass him. And when I did, he came back on my in the last corners after the straight. This went on for some time till pitstop time. Just when I thought I overtook him, he dove right into the pits. It was perfect for him. I ran 1 lap longer than Puschke and tried to jump him. My entry to the pits was all good but then I screwed up with the exit. I was on 3rd gear and the car got away like a snail. Came out at the back of Puschke and the battled continued. Took a while for me to get back to his tail and again after so many tries I just can't get pass. The battle allowed Danny Roberts close in on us and eventually he got passed me. It soon became a 3 way battle for 11th place. After Danny got passed me I lost some momentum and took a few laps to get behind Danny. At first it was difficult to close in on Robert as he was in Puschke's slipstream. We switched positions a couple of times till I got a lucky break when Danny slide off right at the end. I tried to do 1 last push to pass Puschke but I messed up the exit before the long straight on the final lap and couldn't mount any attack. Almost put it in the wall in the final corner in the last lap.. haha
I had a lot of fun. Congrats to all.
