Yep that was me, I absolutely nailed that corner on my fastest qualifying lap (as in the best I'd ever taken it) and tried to repeat the feat and got it all wrong. Note to self: qualifying pace and race pace are two different things.
I got my strategy all wrong though as I didn't think soft tyres would last anywhere near as long as they do and wound up staying out far too long, and by the time I pitted I'd lost the places I made up after my first lap spin and was a fair way back from them as well. Ended up spinning a couple of times in the last few laps pushing too hard to make up the time I'd lost but with only 6 laps of wear my softs were in great shape when I finished though.
