First I want to say that the track itself is absolutly no fun for me (except for the last sector), and more frustrating than anything else imo, but since I'm not alone on the track, it can luckily still be a overall worthwile race
q: horrible sp-lap, fits in nicely to the overall q laps this season^^
r: Start was ok and I gained a bit in the beginning by some others mistakes; but after a couple of laps the race was simply driving behind others; not ever having enough to pass because I drove a bit more wing and I had no confidence in braking very late without having an automatic collision on exit.
Me sucking with hard braking here did not help either
I backed out 95% of the times of the chicane entrys, the only time I did not back out from the late-braking part, there was a small collission^^
I think Reik had huge faith in me that I would never close the door, as that would have ended very bad a couple of times
I was mostly a free-pass and could hardly pass anyone; that made it all very hard and the time loss by not having the free track was massive (for others as well obviously).
Unfortunatly the entire second part of the race was the same thing as the first, as the startegy was nullified by not having the free track when it counted and not having a perfect pistop ;(
A very long battle with David only ended when he lost the car out of the bumpy part after the second chicane, otherwise this would have gone the same way for hours
I prayed for rain the entire race, but unfortunatly it did not happen
-> q: 6th / r: 4th
Thanks and well done to all involved for a nice season. There were some great races and 9 out of 10 tracks were fun to drive
Except for the Monaco thing, it went quite well for me also in the actual races (minus qualy).
See you hopefully all next season again, for the last Race07 season (atleast for me).
