I really struggled to find a setup that didnt eat the front left and yet allowed good laptimes ??? so I decided to approach the problem from a different angle , looking at everyones laptimes I decided I could maybe make a 2 stop strategy work and providing I cleared traffic quickly I should finish somewhere around 3 > 5th
Qually
I knew I couldnt get on front row so was looking for a second row slot to help me with my race strategy
Race
Got a good start behind DJ and dropped in behind him for 2 nd at the first corner , at the speed DJ started lapping I thought he was doing the same as me but by lap 5 his tyres started going away and I managed to overtake him on the main striaght :o :o .
I started to pull away and open a gap ,but , more importantly I was taking a lot of time out of the guys in 3rd to 5th spots , pitted on lap 17 and came out alongside George who was in 4th , my tyres allowed me to get past him quickly and start chasing down Ramon. For the next stint I managed to keep my laptimes up and thanks to the excellent driving of all those I passed managed not to loose too much time in traffic .
I pitted in a comfortable 3rd and came out alongside George again (he must hate the sight of me) , had a little dice with him but once my tyres were up to temp I passed him and got 3rd place back , Ramon was the guy I was worried about so pushed a little to open a buffer and then just managed the gap to finish 3rd .
