That was one of the mentallly most stressful races for me. I know the track a bit, but always sucked there in Meganes and I am damn good in the Megane usually.
I had never did a single lap there and just had time for Race 2 luckily I got Matt's setup and had time for 1 timed lap, which felt not great, but I was already in the high 1.20s, so it was not too bad.
The first 5 to 10 Laps were scary. I had a good start, but backed out as I was sorrounded by team mates most of the time and I was just trying to keep it on track.
After some time a few cars cleared and I managed to take back my places from Calum and Andrew both due to them making mistakes under pressure at least I hope they felt pressure
I saw Dino and Matt being held up a lot and I knew I hadn't the pace, but I had my racecraft, so I thought maybe a shot at the podium.
I was following them through as they overtook David, but then they were gone and it was hard to pace myself without any reference cars around and zero experience.
Dino and Matt got caught up again and overtook April and Martin, who I overtook as well as he spun. Then I was chasing April as hard as I could as I had already a lot of tyre wear. I got really close in the last few laps, but did way to many mistakes before.
I will just upload a small video. I had so much luck today. A lot of slides which could have put me easily into a spin. In the replay most of them don't look that scary, but if you are sitting in the car even the small slides are a bit scary in these cars and I had at least one per lap, so I was really exhausted after that
