Well, that went...Badly! Opted to jump on the EMEA 13:00hrs (UST) slot, over lunch. Didn't have enough time for more than 2 practice laps before quali, which was inevitably disastrous. Had one idiot drive bomb me at the last tight turn on the out lap, was hampered by people crashing ahead on what should've been the banker, then on lap 2 the driver ahead was slow down the back 'straight', but instead of letting me past early so we could both have plenty of time to setup for the hard left at the end, they opted to weave all the way along ruining both our laps.
As a result I stared 14th 3 seconds off pole, which was infuriatingly over a second slower than my best practice pace. The race itself was a disaster, lap one was anarchy at the back, and I made enough problems for myself in the first few laps out-braking due to fuel load. Finished 12th. Will have another crack this evening. Might try something other than the CLK, that's slower but I can drive more consistently.
