Barely made it in time for the Quali, but it actually turned out better than I expected and managed to trade tenths for awhile with the leading duo David and J-P.
Start was interesting - while heading into T1 I noticed J-P's Macca diving on the inside, so backed off a bit and almost ran wide, but still came out 4th after the leaders.
Followed this three-car battle until the second lap when I hit a sausage kerb on the chicane, which allowed Ed (Pond) and Ron to get by. After that I was trying to keep up / overtake Ron, and at times it seemed like I might have had the pace for it, but on some laps he pulled a bit of a gap again. Then on lap 9-10-ish I went too wide on the final turn, got the rear wheel on the gravel and spun into the inside wall. Didn't try repairs at pits as the car was missing at least one wheel..
Developing a bit of a bad rep crashing all the time, but have to admit the car is a handful to drive during the race. Anyhow, thanks for the organizers once again, it was fun while it lasted!
