AM2
I was way off the pace in practice. Hitting constant 1:31's in dry practice and 1:35's in the wet. Some how, people where 5 to 6 seconds a lap faster than me. I kinda expected this because I'm
lol. So I was expecting to do my usual starting from the back which im ok with, my SA rating has been smashed recently and I didn't want to be in the thick of it surrounded by faster people on a track that's hard to pass on.
During qualiy, I ran a light fuel load, did 2 laps and somehow banged out a 1:27.... putting me 6th on the grid. Ok then...
The race itself was abit uneventful for me. I followed whomever started 5th for abit but they slowly pulled away. The slight change in track temperature from qualifying ment my left tyres (slicks) stayed around 29-30 the entire race. Not wanting to shred them or spin out I drove conservative for the majority of the race, this also ment I rarely saw another car.
I did pass a few that had spun off but my actual position always stayed as 6th....
I was lapped on lap 16, maybe 13? Did my two stops without changing tyres, but somewhere along the line I was in 5th which is where I finished.
I found i was quicker in the wet (the great equaliser haha), but averaged 1:34s the entire race. Fastes lap was a 1:30 in the first 3rd of the race. Due to the less aggressive throttle input, I averaged 1.9ltrs a lap (Down from 2.1 in practice) and finished with 17 litres extra fuel.
I also streamed this on YT, getting a whopping 14 views haha. But in the process I also cracked my pedal plate on the brake side at the weld. It must of been making a
tonne of squeaky noise during the race, thank God for headphones.
