Well, things were quite good to me.
Qualy
--------
As rubber built up times improved and I was able to do my best lap at the end, getting myself in the 55s for my first time. Marcel W was unstoppable at sector three and I knew that my aim was to be second what I was able to do.
Race1
--------
Almost stalled at start, but apparently others driver where also in trouble so I was able to get first through the first corner. First 5 laps, before my pistop was a race checking Marcel W in my mirrors and thinking when he was about to attack (considering his fast times here). Apparently he kept behind me around the second gap (I didn't know if he was struggling or just waitting there for the momento to come). I went for my pitstop, it took 47 seconds. Afer my pitstop I was in a bit of no man's land for a couple of laps. Later Marcel W went to the pits and he came 4.x seconds behind me. As it was four laps to go I thought I just had to make no mistakes to make it to the end first.
Two laps to go Marcel W dissapeared from my HUD and David Coyne appeared second some more seconds later, so I felt quite relieved and made it first.
Race 2.
---------
This time I started quite good, revs up and clutch at the right moment kept for a good start and making it clean through turn one. Wim was second and I was able to start pulling away some distance. At the end of lap four I took my pitstop, also for 47 seconds. After pitting and waiting for things to settle down I found myself still on the lead with ten seconds to Wim, so I just kept it clean and brought another victory back home. I was so cheerful I couldn't believe it, things won't be that easy the next races, for sure.
Race 3
---------
Starting last I was cautious and was able to scape the carnage. At the exit of the first curve I had gain many positions and I was thinking another victory could be posible. But, as we say here "I was selling the bear's skin before hunting it" and at turn two I stupidly lost my rear and enter sideways the right kerb of the chicane, wich made me fly rolling through the air and landing at the other side of the fence.
Then with a damaged car I run for two minutes looking for a way out of there. I suddenly appeared in the pits, lap not counting, and team not wanting to work at my car. So I had to leave the pits with a severe damaged car and do the full lap. At this moment I was already two laps down. Went to repair and pit which took 117 seconds. I went out there to see if others damaged their cars and I could make it to tenth and get a point, which of course didn't happen.
