Not the best of nights here. Right before the Toyota race, I had found something in practice that gained me quite a bit of speed. Then came qualifying when, once again, I had one of those sessions where the car was driving far different than I was expecting. Should've been at least half a second faster than the time I set. I was trying to avoid getting a penalty despite being that deep in the back but it didn't happen. I snuck into the Top 10 thanks to some incidents that looked rather rough from my vantage point. Without that penalty, I could've taken advantage of those better.
Brands Hatch, I set a decent time but I'm once again in the midpack. Car suddenly went wide on me on Lap 2 but managed to gather it back without too much of a time loss. I just could not find the consistency that I was looking for and I almost spun when I clipped the apex at Westfield. I think that happened to Tigdney in one of his BOP tests. I can't really explain why the car did that. Post-stop, I went a little wide off the last corner when I saw someone go off. I knew someone was somewhat close behind me so I tried to draft the off car. Once I went past them, I wasn't sure where the other car was since I don't have a rear view. By the time I saw the radar, I saw the arrow and tried to use a defensive line. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the speed differential was huge and there was contact before I could move to provide room. Ended up 8th which I suppose wasn't bad although now I remember why don't like racing at Brands. It's hard for me to be confident there.
