I'm sorry for my rant in the shouting area :-[
i was sooooo frustrated
In practice i was struggling all the time and kept adjusting my setup instead of focusing on the driving. Last Friday i met Harri on track and she gave me a setup for the Spark. I tried it and tweaked a little here and there and all of a sudden i was able to lap, not to fast, but consistent.
Quali went okayish but i was focusing on taking it nice and easy because a 1 hour race at this track would be demanding and i wanted to push on the second half of the race.
Race:
Easy on the start and right in front of me Dan Minges and Rick Nauman where the first victims.
In the braking zone for lesmos, i think it was Dan Bayford who out braked me on the inside, but all of a sudden Ricky Keene came on the outside and hit me. leaving me with damage but the car was feeling okayish. So i decided to carry on. Following Billy who spun at parabolica and next thing i saw was Cookie chopped into 2 and Harri with severe inner thigh damage
Managed to finish lap 1 but in lap 2 curva grande i lost it......still don't know if it was me or the damage playing a role and tbh it doesn't matter anymore fact is i lost it and hit the armco.
I hit the armco hard more damage but i could have made it to the pit......me thinks
Trying to re-enter the track i got hit, as it turned out it was Paul, lost a wheel hit escape and lost my common sense posting in the shouting area being mad at whole the world but mostly at myself.
Glad this season has come to an end, i want to forget about the spark real soon.
Thanks all for making this happen and DJ enjoy your victory and fizzy vinegar.....wait it was called different....ehm
