Thanks all for the race was heaps of fun , really liking the longer format. Gratz to the winners and podium for all classes well done.
For the race was lucky enough to only get minor contact at race start, think i was the last one to get thru it with out losing much time, then copped a love tap at T1 didn't seem to effect me to much so all good.
Settled in to the race and had a good battle for quite a few laps with a couple of others, got by due them making errors. Had clean air and was catching Coanda by about .3/10ths a lap got with in about 7 seconds down from 10 and he started to find his rhythm and started pulling away slowly. Decided to push harder and made a few silly minor mistakes and the gap was back out to 10 quickly. Had an 8 second gap behind so tried to settle into the groove and be consistent. Had a major off at exit of the 2nd chicane put the power down to much too early and went at right angles in to run off area losing 2-3 places.
Pitted about 60 minutes in, good clean pit chose to repair for the 14 extra seconds picked up a few places somehow. With the repairs and fresh tyres lap times were good again no one to catch and no one chasing me so was in a bubble and tried to stay consistent and out of the way.
About 6'ish laps from the end had another major off , again snap over steer this time at exit of lesmos 2 and slammed into the wall. After that i was down about 2-3 seconds a lap of normal pace. I let a few cars unlap me but then i noticed Mael coming up behind and catching fast and i didn't want to get lapped by him so full concentration couldn't afford any silly mistakes this helped to refocus and not just go through the motions , Thankfully managed not to get lapped with a couple of seconds to spare, one more lap he would of had me.
Question tho, both my snap over-steer mishaps happened late in both stints just curious as to why they may have happened. At race end the tyre wear was 2.6 for the first stint and 2.7 for the 2nd stint, to me they seem like they are in pretty good condition still ?? One thing i did notice was tyre pressure had dropped by about 1 degree all round down to 26.9/ 27.1 towards end of race. Would that of contributed to the snap over steer or more than likely simply driver error.
Thanks all again look forward to the next one
