Gr2 Red Bull Ring, Nations Cup with the Nissan GT-R '16.
CSA Slot 3, door #5. Invalidated my first qualy lap due to track limits, so it was all or nothing in the second one. Luckily, I put a pretty solid 22.0, which was good for me considering I had no banker, and it was good enough for P4 on the grid, 3 tenths off pole.
Did a no-stop on hard tyres, which was allowing me to do 23s for quite a few laps when I did a test stint. But even though I love RBR and I like the Gr2's, the combo of tyre saving on hards and dirty air, I didn't enjoy at all. In the dirty air, I lost my rhythm, started picking up many track limit penalties and wore my tyres more than in testing, so I ended up going backwards rather than forwards...
I believe I had the pace to fight for a podium or at least definitely finish in the top 5, but I ended up P7 at the end. Not one of my finest races, unfortunately. Not going again, though.
