After my disaster last week i wasn't carrying too much confidence into this week, I'm not particularly fond of Tokyo but luckily this layout is definitely my favourite variation.
Quali didn't get off to a good start as I joined the lobby and was preoccupied doing other things while waiting for the session to start and forgot to switch to softs so i burnt a lap to come in and take off the mediums. Surprisingly to me though my first decent lap put me 4th which turned into 5th by the end of the session.
The race was where it fell apart my plan was to maximise my time on softs on 2 stints of 14 laps and a small 3 lap opening stint on the mediums. Unfortunately my fuel saving meant I just wasn't quick enough which is reflected in the fastest laps also, I would of been better pushing it and not worrying so much on fuel.
Lesson learned and luckily Red Bull Ring is hopefully going to be a strong track for me.
EDIT: P.S. I think the 1 hour format would be a welcome addition to the Rooz season schedule
