Better late than never, some words about my races.
Starting with qualifying, I was naturally happy with the laptime I did and a bit surprised about the big gap. I was able to do a couple of other fast laps too in addition to the pole lap so it was looking good for race 1.
I got a good start and a clean first lap and that pretty much decided the race for me. From there I just had to keep it on the road... I did that and kept up a good pace. Nothing exciting happened during those 10 laps so on to race 2.
This time the engine bogged down in the start so I didn't get a good launch off the line. Took it easy in turn one and it was my plan to take it pretty easy during the race, hopefully picking up positions when there was a good chance.
Going into turn 9, the cars slowing down in front of me caught me off by surprise. I thought I had braked early enough considering the traffic, but that wasn't the case. The back of Attila's car was approaching too quickly so I got off the brakes slightly and turned to the right (a move to the left would have been a bit too risky since I had to get off the brakes!) to try and avoid him. During the race I thought I had missed him but seems like there was a slight contact to the RR corner of this car, so I'm sorry about that Attila!
I dropped to P15 I think and was a bit mad about that.
After that I just tried to get into the points and it wasn't easy because sometimes it seemed there were cars everywhere around you. There were some small contacts but nothing big, it was just hard to find the rhythm and the correct lines and I was sliding around quite a lot.
I was able to steadily move up the field and I made some moves under braking once I noticed that I was able to brake later than most people into some corners. With a couple of laps to go I noticed I still had a change to get second as the guys in front were battling for that position.
Starting the last lap I moved to P3 after Kevin had a small off track excursion out of the last turn and later that lap I outbraked Peter into turn 7. So 2nd after the mistake on lap 1 was a great result, without the time lost I could have maybe fought for the win. I'm happy with 1st and 2nd from the first event though. :drunk:
A great result for the team as well in the first race with the 1-2, too bad Dom was hit with a lag problem or something in the second one. Congrats to Scott for winning the second race.
