Qualy
I went out early and managed to get my best time on lap 3 after that I just couldn’t improve , its so easy to overdrive this track and overheat the tyres which was what I was doing , qualified 6th which I was pleased with .
Race 1
Got a good start behind Gorka who flew off the line , I just tucked myself in behind him and let him open the door for me , managed to pass him when he made a mistake but then I cocked up the last turn and he was back past me , did an early pitstop which went ok came out in clear track and got my head down and finished 6th .
Race 2
Got a good start and tucked in behind Gorka again , chased him hard for 3 laps but then going into turn 7 I locked my brakes and tapped Gorka into a spin (Mega Sorry Gorka) , I toured slowly round waiting for him to repass which he did on main straight, but we both had lost a lot of places , I then went wide onto the grass a couple of times as I was annoyed with myself and was driving badly , so I pitted to calm myself down , came out and caught Yerke and had a great race with him , I was faster but he defended well and there was no way past .
Race 3
I started 13th which should have been a warning to me , got a good start watching carefully the cars around me , whoever was on my outside was squeezing me hard and I was just managing to stay on the black stuff , saw the start of a crash in front so braked but got hit from behind , this put me on the grass but got hit again , tried to rejoin but got hit again , this time car was damaged and crabbing , so took to the infield and slowly rejoined in last place , made my way to the pits for a 90 second stop and while I was there I got hit again which put me head on to the Armco , I had to reverse out of my pitbox to point the right way , I wish to protest against the person who pinned the target on the back of my car , after that I just got my head down and drove to finish , phew .
Great turnout and a good nights racing , well done SR4L
