grats sean, defending next season will be a blast ive no doubts, but until then enjoy the champ
I can only agree. Huge congrats Sean for this great season win!
I hope I get my chance to fight you back in the next season (hopefully again with F3000 in Race07), because I felt I made an improvement compared to the last 2 seasons with F3000.
Qualy (4th):
Made a mistake in the beginning of the first timed lap, so had to abort and only one more try. It went well with a 1:18:3xx. I didn't expect a better one
.
Race (3rd):
strategy: 68/64/64
I had a nice start and Held 4th Position through T1. It was a nice and close to the following Corners with Guus, David and Sean. A few laps later I could catch Sean easiely, so I knew he was on a 1-stopper. A bit later when David and Guus fighted for the lead, I could also pass David. Guus and me slightly opened a gap, so also David turned out to be on a 1-stopper.
Guus seemed to be slightly quicker than me and also drove less wing. But after a few laps he made a slight mistake and I could gain P1. I was leading by ~ 3 seconds, when Guus made his first stop. One lap later I came in. All the 1-stoppers. My stop went perfect, so I reentered in front of Guus.
Guus was always slightly faster and in the end of the second stint he put me under pressure. I few Corners I could defend him but finally made a mistake, which caused slightly contact. Sorry mate!
(see incidents report) Due to being guilty I let Guus pass me and take the lead (the 1-stoppers had pitted in the meantime).
Only one lap later I saw Guus going for one more lap, so in the last moment I decided to turn into the pits one lap earlier and maybe undercut him. The stop went perfect again and when I came back to the s/f-straight one lap later I saw Guus leaving his pit spot in front of me, so I thought he'd defend his Position. (Un-)fortunately he overshot the pit exit corner, so I could pass him. Sorry mate.
After my second stop I was P3 now, David was leading by ~ 20 seconds and Sean in P2 by ~ 11 seconds gap to me. Being on lighter strategy I was trying my best to gain on Sean but the gap decreased very slowly and I had a few slight mistakes here and there.
In the end I gained more on Sean, because his tyres had much more laps then mine. So I finished 3rd only ~ 4 seconds behind Sean. I was a bit unhappy about my mistake with Guud costing us maybe 5 seconds, because I could've been closer to Sean then. But all in all it wasn't more I could ask for so big congrats again to David for the win and to Sean for 2nd and Championship win.
I like to thank Nico, Daniel and all racers here very much for this great enjoyable place!
Let's keep it running...
