Started 6th, Finished 4th
[Q] Qualifying
While qualifying wasn't the best for me as there was too little fuel in the car for my liking and I got my only puncture on my in-lap.
But hey, I wasn't expecting much since I was re-getting used to the car since I use medium TC other wise. I went out for a second run with my setup changed and improved the time a little bit more, so I was confident that I could get higher than sixth.
[R] Race (39% chance of rain is nuts by the way)
While my start wasn't the best as i got just a little bit too much wheel spin, it didn't matter as I ended up P2 after turn one
! From what i can see from the replay, the first three into Turn 1 all came together and the all went wide. Only problem, exit of turn 2 i spun the same way i span in the practice race, back to the back
Then i had a tussle with Akumq in trying to get back into a rhythm, then he spun again. I ended up P6 at the end of the lap and that stayed so until EVERYONE but me pitted for the Prime tire since I started on them. I ended up P2 and trying to keep a good pace for the longest time, while i ended up P4 before I pitted, my sights were clearly on Lefty for the last few laps of the race with my pace on the primes not being as good as I would have hoped. Still, my pace on the options meant that I was going to catch upto Lefty and overtake with relative ease, which almost happened if I didn't spin on my own accord after I overtook him
. Still, he had to go in again and P4 disconnected so I had fourth place in the bag although the threat of rain was really looming. Still, outside of the tire problems and the gingerly pace without TC, it was good fun. If a re-do of the race is necessary, I wouldn't mind although a cleaner start would have been nice.
