What a horrible race... I hate Zolder, it doesnt suit my style at all...
Coming into the race I knew i'd have good single lap pace but would struggle in the race due to lack of preparation and I wasn't happy with my setup overall.
First I screwed up both my fast laps in qual. I should have been able to put down a 27.6-8 which would have put me on the front row but instead I started from the back.
I had a reasonable start and some good early pace, coupled with a couple of first lap incidents in front of me meant I was running P4 a few laps in. Then I got hit by fast boy who spun across the track in front of me on the last corner and I went into the wall on pit straight, fortunately I was able to keep it pointing the right way but lost a position to Konnor. Then a lap or two later was hit from behind at Turn 8. So now running in P5 all by myself for most of the race - I had a couple of self inflicted off track excursions and had no confidence in my setup for the race (it was good for a single lap, average for the race - lessons learnt...). I just putted around for the rest of the race to maintain position and salvage what points I could.
Gratz to Samsung, Beau and Konnor on the podium
