I wasn't mentally capable of doing one single lap right. So I took the gamble and put wet tires on because I couldn't drive fast and there were indications that it could work. Well, it didn't and my wet tires reached 120deg. On damped track and with slight rain! I think that it's too much. I did almost half of the race on wet tires and then finally changed for slicks. How could they have so high temps too, more than in dry conditions, is beyond me. I was slower, slower and slower, lap after lap. Oh well, hope the next time it will be better. :sleep:
 
Report: Was struggling a bit in Q, in the last hot lap I was finally able to jump from P9 to P6

Finished the Race in P3 (actually P2 because Chris let me pass but you really deserve that 2nd place :) )
Good result since I was P18 at Turn 2, Lap 1 after ruining Bobs race. :unsure:
Could pass a lot of cars right at the beginning so that I got up to P5 by Lap 9
Had some great battles with Reggie and Fernando early in the race but then it was mostly hotlapping for the rest of the race
Stoffel and Pierre dropped out so I was P3 by the time I pitted.
Came out of the pits and saw that I was only 14 seconds behind Chris now.
For the last 30 minutes I was pushing and was able to get a bit closer to Chris who then must have had a little off track moment so that 10 minutes before the end the difference was only 7 seconds but it wasnt enough and even though I finished in front of Chris the real difference in the end was about 3 seconds I think :)

So again sorry Bob! and grats to all who finished.
And also thx to RD and Ross for the organization and the great weather!
 
Great event for me, Pole and the win. :)
Had the right timing for the pitstop for once and stayed on slicks the whole way. Too bad Stoffel dropped out of the server a while after the pitstops, maybe there would have been a fight for the win, who knows. So my race was rather calm without any fights at all.
Grats to all who finished.
 
Really fun race, that one. Even though the weather was better than last week, it had a major affect on the outcome for me this time.

I started on slicks as the track was damp but it wasn't raining. I got a good start but going into T1 there was an incident ahead and I had to practically stop to avoid hitting a stationary car. Once things had calmed down I thought it was going to be a repeat of last week, as I found myself behind Dennis again. Nisse also came to join the fun this time though, and we had some good racing for a few laps.

Then the sky darkened and it started to rain. For whatever reason I began struggling with the car, running wide at nearly every corner. I thought I'd take a chance and pitted for wet tyres on lap 7... big mistake! It put me right at the back and the car felt no better at all as it just wasn't wet enough. Then the rain stopped and my wets were burning up. I was forced to pit again on lap 12. Deciding not to stop again, I went overboard trying to put some extra fuel in and added far too much.

After the normal pit stop period I found myself in 8th with Nisse right behind. For the rest of the race we had an excellent, clean battle. It was hard work trying to keep him back! Towards the end of the race I was practically running on rims due to the extra long stint, and the mistakes became more frequent. Nisse was able to pass me just a couple of laps before the end. Great driving mate, really good stuff! :)

The only downside to the race was the excessive, consistent cutting displayed by some drivers. Blatant disregard for our rules that will be looked into.
