Enjoyable races, although it looked like my hands were melted into my steering wheel.
I did a nice qualify for 4th position. I knew it was hard to make a good start, so I lost a few places there. At curva 6, I got nudged from behind by Marco Ho, and that costed me a few positions. I recovered at 12th position behind William Yunck. I passed him after a lap or two, and was behind Jamie Wilson who was in a fight himsef with Robert Maytum in his Honda templatecar (!?)
It was a close battle with the 3 of us, and then Jamie went a bit wide at Kurva 1 and hit a bit of grind. I had a bit more speed, and could outbreak him. Then I was behind Robert who was pretty quick, but I saw him struggling and then at Kurva 8 (Long left corner) he went a bit wide, and I just managed to get on the inside, but unfortunately with a bit of a nudge, which caused Robert to loose a bit of his momentum. Sorry for that Robert, maybe too bit risky of me. I managed to get away steadily. Then I found Sergio Jorge and Chau Chou Lo in front of me battling. At the last corner before finish us 3 went breaking, but Sergio was on the outside line, and I breaked hard, and with just a minor nudge on his rear was just enough to put him into the gravel. Very sorry for that Sergio :-(
Went on to become 7th
2nd race I'm gonna try to make it short. Was 2nd on grid. Did not start well, and Jacco Cornelissen could pass. I felt I had a slight better pace, I managed to pass Jacco a few laps later. And then ...a long, sweaty, fair, coldblooded, hotblooded, intense, fierce, - uhhmm did I mention sweaty -, battle with Frederic Dubois in his Beemer. He drived it very well, and I could just barely keep up in the beginning but I found my pace somehow and managed to overtake him at lap 10 I think, but right after passing finish I screwed up the 1st corner, which gave back the 1st pos to Frederic. Nog long after that Frederic made a mistake at Kurva 12 and I passed him. Too bad Frederic.
I had a nice gap to 2nd pos, and took it carefully to the finishline.
Yeah first victory, woohoo. :cancan:
