Shame about the DC's at the start of the race, was shaping up to be a good race.
For once in a blue moon, I managed to get pole position for the race with a 2:31:xxx. Started the race with a lot of wheel spin off the line. Cold weather and cold tyres don't really mix. Anyway, got through the first corner ok, slight mishap but nothing game breaking and put the foot down. Had to lift at Eu Rouge due to the cold tyres and early in the piece I was finding it hard to pull away from by and farbs. Can't remember exactly where it was but I think it was 2nd lap and all of a sudden farbs/bj dropped off by about 12 seconds, so I guess they had an issue in the s bend.
I continued to put the foot down and started to pull away more and more. Again, I drove consistently and relatively fast, managing to get a 2:30 for a few laps in a row, but more consistently in the low/mid 32s. For the rest of the race, for me at least, it was uneventful and I just concentrated on keeping a consistent pace and staying on track.
Congratulations to the podium and to everyone for finishing the race. Good job and see you all again next week
