Thanks to the organisation for this!!
"Feature race" was not bad, considering my lack of experience with worn out tyres. I got the wrong tactic, as I should have made it a 2-stopper, and I also made a couple or three mistakes that cost me time, after a misunterstanding with Adam that ended up with me in the gravel pit. Even if the result could have been better, I still had a classic, clean and fair moment with Rees. Great side to side 👍 . And on the last laps, since my tyres were dead, there was a hard but fair fight with Watson. Kudos on being so far under such circumstances, man!! In the end, 12th; could have been better but could have been worse.
As for the second race, it was strange to begin with, since someone got damage before starting and at the front we didn't know whethere we were racing or not. In the end, we went for it, and it was good again on the first laps. I even had an extremely exciting moment with Eddie and Dennis on the Casio Chicane 👍 Fairness all around! I decided to pit on lap 4th, since I get nervous easily when I'm in a group and I go slower. Figured it'd go better for me. But I spun on the 130R (sorry guys behind me!) and this killed my race, sort of. I still had a nice battle near the end, but finished 8th. I feel without my spin, I could have been perhaps 7th or even 6th if I had been efficient. Still, a sufficiently good debut weekend with the "bigger cars", which is satisfactory to me, even if a bit bittersweet.
Congratulations to Adam on his wins, too!
My only big disappointment was my fastest lap being 1:58.5 (approx), even if before the race I was able to get a 1:57.9 (my first 57 ever at Suzuka with a PURE-spec car).
