I didn't comment last 2 race because I was a little bit upset after have been victim of multiple unnecessary aggressive driving and gold rule not respected.
This one was way better even if if I didn't finish like my practice times could have made me hope.
I would like to thank all the participants for the safe start and safe driving during race even if some incidents
inevitably occured.
Well, foremost qualify didn't go very well. I was just beginning my first qualify lap when power failure happened...
I right now thought at
@Rogue Racing Mimms anecdote at Silvertsone who made me laugh a lot (sorry for that
). But no kids at home and hopefully the electric current came back one minute later. Time to restart everything, I could make a decent chrono and qualified 14th.
Still "traumatized" by the carnage start at Silversone, I was a little bit too careful at start and lost few place (18th).
I gained some positions on cars who left the track and narrowly avoid an other car across the road. My safely driving was paying off.
From lap 2, I was catching up
@SOLO59 Dean Solomon. The first laps behind him I was very cautious and keep too much room before each breaking point so as not to risk touching it. He was breaking hard and earlier than me and it took me a very long time to find an opportunity to overtake him safely as he was letting very poor room to do it.
When I finally did, I thought he understood I was really faster since many laps I was just behind him and that he will let met fly away at my full pace but he tried to regain position right away. So I wanted to close the door for the next turn. In my mirror, he was fully behind but that was not the case and I hit him with my back and we spun out. (I think I have to change my mirror FOV, not the first time).
Even if he didn't make my job easier the incident was my fault and I didn't want to let him alone in the sandbox after all that laps together. Was also a way to finish our battle more cleanly!
He really impressed me by its regularity and made any error under pressure, great driving!
I had another incident latter with
@Jose Angel Valera. I think I was a bit too hurry to make the BMW fly hight again and tried a bold overtake on him in the right turn just after the strait line. I retarded my brake point a max. I thought he didn't see me when I understood he will close the door and I then cut on the grass. However it was not sufficient to avoid the contact. I waited for him as I was partially responsible by my aggressive move (sorry for that) and we finish our battle few turns latter more cleanly.
Last laps I was chasing
@Rui F. Martins who was himself chasing Dean Salomon. I didn't try anything stupid as I was terrified to have another incident with both of them (had yet an incident with Martins at Silverstone).
On one particular turn, I could see Martins rear back move from almost one side to another side of the track, what a save! wow!
Also last turn of last lap was really hot!
Finished 13th and it was a very nice race!
As other, thanks a lot to
@Daiman Patel for the hard work to organize all this events.
