Qually: As i was starting my hotlap i got serious lag on the start/finish straight(always nice..),so i was very careful with braking into t1 and then the lagging stopped fortunatly but it ment that i lost quit some time there with braking to early,then in an attempt to make up for it i braked to late for t2,meaning i lost even more time,aaarrrggg.Stupid me,lol hahaha. :frown:
The rest of the lap went ok but i had set a time that i wasnt to happy about,and therfore i was really surprised to see i got p2.
Race: I tried to stay as close to Mike as possible but he was just that little bit faster than me,still maneged to keep the gap pretty small,
and as we were starting to make our pitstops i knew i had a chance and i worked out beautifully.
I just passed him as he was driving out of the pits again. :tongue:
Then i tried to drive as smoothly as possibel knowing that at some point he would be filling up my rear view mirror.
And so he did,we had a great fight.
Got some love taps from him :fwd2:but i managed to stick to my line leaving him no room for overtaking and as the race progressed i felt i could pull it of.
But then some backmarkers upfront got into some troubles as they were fighting their own battles and they got stuck into the tyres.
As it was a blind corner (turn 3),i saw it to late,had contact with one of them and lost momentum. :frown:
Mike immidiatly pulled up beside me as we drag raced to t4 with another backmarker in front of us so i couldnt take the normal racingline
and still filled with adrenaline i just braked a fraction to late,locked it up just a little bit,had to turn in more than when you do when you're on the racingline,rearend went sideways because of that,hit the tyres and Mike easely passed me. :damnit:
Concertration level dropped as i was a little frustrated for loosing the lead in that way and also my tyres sufferd from those moments.
Mike was gone and i couldnt keep up the pace anymore.
Still very happy with 2nd place but i know that if that wouldnt have happend i would have been able to keep him behind me the rest of the race.
So congrats to Mike and Goran and to all those who finished on this track,wich isnt easy.
Thx to STC,the commentators,admins and to all the drivers for this great event.
Special thx to the backmarkers for making way even if you had your own battles,on this track thats not an easy task :thumbup:
