Snetterton Race Reports

[1959nikos]

News from the back.

I was really scared of Snetterton.
I remembered F3 race we had, how difficult it was for me.
I started practicing on Monday, it was as hard as I remembered.

Suddenly, Thursday I think, I was amazed to find I stopped making mistakes, I even did a 2:06 which was stellar for me.

So I went into practice on Sunday feeling quite good with myself.

Practise was ok and then I did a huge mistake.
Seeing that Vittorio did a 2:03 and knowing we usually prefer same things at setups, I changed my setup to his, just before race 1 started.
Somehow I lost all my brake points, got frustrated and made one mistake after another, luckilly managing to not bent my steering so I took my points of finishing.

I changed back to my setup for race 2, disaster at first lap as I had contact with MarcelT, not his fault, I overdid it at t1.
Again, managed to finish and collect the points.

Reverse grid came, by then I calmed down, let the flow of the race get into me and I really enjoyed a race without big mistakes.
I had a nice fight with Vittorio, I was 10sec in front at pitstop time, then he gained 20sec (!!!) with his pitstop strategy and when we came out he was 10sec in front.
Neela was chasing me, as I said no mistakes at last race, so I kept her at a safe distance.

My interesting battle with John at General Standings continuous, we had a tie, he had a 10th place at last race, but as he couldnt finich at race 2, now Im 1 point in front of him. YES!!!

Cool decision Bryan had with his duel with Everon at last race, Im very proud of my teamleader
