21:00 Nations Cup: Red Bull Ring
Well that went better than it should have! I take the META Vantage and enter with 20 on the door. I end up qualifying 17th but only 1.150 off of P1. I decide to start on hards. By the start of lap 2, I am P11. People are going off left and right and picking up penalties everywhere. I was wary of the car since I never felt like I was in a groove with it during qualifying but I pressed on.
I am P6 when I decide to pit on lap 14 since the cars behind me kept gaining time. I come in and put on a fresh set of.....hards! For some reason I have a brain freeze and don't pick the mediums. So I come back out P11 and have a battle with a two other racers in Astons. We trade some spaces and all respect each other's space. We even take a few corners side by side but don't bump. It seemed that my fresher hards were better than their mediums. I eventually put a small gap between us as they were unable to keep pace and come home P9. The best part? I actually got some keepable points out of it! I was not expecting that!
See you out on the track!
