Q: Well, it did not go too good, I was half a second of my PB. So P9 for me.
R1: The start was alright, by the end of T1 I was in P7, however Vlad, who went very wide come back onto the track and hit me in the rear, I did not see him in the mirror also did not expect someone from there to come onto the track. Oh well, first corner incident I would say, he was on the kerbs and tried to get back on the track. I spun out pretty hard, and hit the barriers on the side, but not much damage was done to the car, also the tyres did not feel all too bad, Vlad waited for me to recover and let me past. Thanks for that.
I ended up in P8 in the end, I locked up my tyres way too often and missed apexes a lot, so I could not challenge Anton Valle for P7.
R2: Started in P3, Nicolas managed to grab that position from me before the S'es, however I got that back before T11 and manage to keep that position on the straight, seems like I had much less wing then him, as he could not pass me, even though I had a bad exit due to taking the inside line.
On Lap 2 I got passed Anton Valle at T12 because he went to deep into the corner, he tried to get back at me at the inside of T13 but locked his brakes and drove into my sidepot, it only slightly unsettled my car so I could continue, he spun however.
From there my hunt for Francisco Valle, who had a lead of I think 5 seconds began. I managed to catch up to him by lap 6. I passed him on the start finish straight.
Peter, whose life I made hard for 3 laps by braking super late (and breaking my tyres
) passed me on lap 12. I was passed on the long straight by Artyom also because I could not turn into T11, however Francisco hit him from the back at the braking point, that made him hit Peter. Martin passed us all and I stayed in P2.
By that point my tyres were so cooked that I could not drive through the Ses any more and had to slow down a lot at T7 and Artyom drove into the back of me, not expecting my slow corner speed I guess and he spun. I went into the pits in P1 because Martin's car broke down that lap.
I exited the pits in P6, but soon was back to P1 when everyone had pitted. I then was passed by Peter and Tom who were much faster. For a few laps I though I could maintain P3. But my tyres did not play along and I was getting so much understeer that I could at first barely keep the lap times below 1:47. Artyom came closer and closer and should have had me on lap 25, but he drove in the my rear tyre and spun out. But by this time my lap times dropped below 1:50 and I could not drive any more at all. It was miserable.
Artyom went past me on the penultimate corner, however I managed to get back at him on the start finish straight though on the inside line. He either did not see me or was not happy about that as he nearly pushed me off the track.
Obviously he got past me again, he seemed very aggressive though doing it almost causing us both to crash. Nothing happens but still, I guess it was frustrating to drive behind me seeing that he was clearly much faster that point. However it is very risky trying to overtake on the outside of T8 without leaving space and then passing by cutting the inside corner of T9, especially since he saw that I was not able to make any apexes any more and that I could not maintain the normal racing line any more. But oh well.
I also got passed by Anton Valle on the last lap and I ended up in P6, lucky to actually make it to the end because my front tyres were completely gone....
Overall, not very happy with the result, I had so many lock ups and completely ruined my tyres in the last race.
See you on Wednesday guys!
