Phew what a workout that was , the low grip track was very physical and demanded a lot of concentration , It was not as grippy as I remembered it from the F2-3 races we had there in the past .
Qually
Managed to get into the 46s and was feeling quite pleased but then DJ popped a great time in , followed by Tobias who was even faster , all those practice laps paid off for him .
Race
Due to the slippy nature of the track I decided to start in 2nd gear to cut wheelspin , it worked and I got passed DJ and dropped in behind Tobias .
There now followed a frustrating battle , I was all over him into and through the corners but the power of the Eagle was keeping me at bay on the exits I knew I could lap faster , we stayed this way for a few laps until I foolishly stuck my nose too far into the hairpin , Tobias just tapped my front and I slowly spun into the guardrail , no damage but lost places .
I decided to try an early pitstop and then hotlap to see if I could get past when people did their stops , it worked and I ended up first but at the expence of my rears which were melting , I was even getting wheelspin on the back striaght in 5th , DJ rejoined behind me and I tried to keep my laptimes up but I blew it and DJ went past , after that I just tried to keep ontrack as I had nothing left to fight him .
