I just didn't want to quit.
That is the spirit my friend!
This was one insanely epic race. Very exciting Quali with the track being damp at the start, light rain, but the track being clear and dry at the end.
@Michael Rudolf already somewhat celebrating his P1, when suddenly I managed to push out a lap 0.2s quicker than him (from being 0.6s down). My first Club Race Pole Position and I was genuinely cheering and celebrating it. When I saw the -0.8s (on myself) entering the main straight my heart was beating like hell!
Race, mistakes were made in the setup (Engine maps...) which made me instantly lose P1, P2 and P3. Managed to stay out of trouble during the first turns and then got caught out by a few puddles standing water here and there spinning everywhere. Luckily there were more people in this kind of trouble. Managed to get P2 somewhere when
@Vlad Zap spun out in front of me and never ever let go of that P2 again.
Caught up Rudolf with over a second per lap, who was still leading after making mistakes and losing a 30s gap. But the rain was insane and the spray made chasing a real pain in the ass. It was hard to find brake markers, apexes and turning points so every time I got within a sec, I instantly made a minor mistake putting the gap back to 2s. I knew I was faster but I had no way to pass him.
Really great race, congrats to Michael! Making the least mistakes of all paid off at the end!
P: P2

Best result for me in a long time
