Race Report
Ouch, where to start. I had the speed to do a good qualification lap but somehow couldn't connect the dots during the official timed session. A P16 was the best I could do it seem, way off my fastest pb.
This meant I had to gamble for the race and take a big risk. For some reason I thought that going with a half filled tank and a refuel and fresh rubber at my scheduled pitstop was a good idea (at least in my head it was
). I planned to start super aggressive and be at least seconds faster per lap than my opponents and I would be the star of the show overtaking everybody!!!1!11!!eleven!
How wrong I was. My speed with half a tank barely matched the guys I just managed to overtake and arriving at P11 or something I had no answer to guys like Lucas Berk being so much faster than me.
Oh well, consolidate! I steered away from the battle I was in and went into pitlane. I pressed the pitlimiter to avoid going over 50km/h and checked my speedometer showing: 52km/h. WTH! I just pressed....my LCD button instead of the pitlimiter.
But! Maybe Charly Whiting didn't see it. Let's drive 45km/h in the rest of the pitlane and I will be fine as I compensated my speeding enough, right?. Did my pitstop and changed two instead of the four planned tyres (i know I am really naughty) added the fuel and went off again with 48km/h, still compensating. Going over the line that marks the end of the pit: PENALTY FOR SPEEDING IN THE PITLANE. Charly sees everything
Had to come in again a lap later. Race ruined and I decided to avoid the 4x cut warning and finish the race. Shook my head to a few drivers deliberately going for a DNF (you know you don't get any points, then why hit that esc button and demote yourself?) and finished in 21 which is barely enough to stay in server 1 for the next race I think.
Hope for a better result again in Austria
