Early Clean Running

I never really was quite fast enough, qually was ok, extra .25 of a second and would have been a few places higher, so I was cool with that.

Race started good, very clean running for the 15 laps I think, then the tyres started to change, and I was struggling. Then I noticed others where to. Caught up with the car ahead, and then caught up a little quicker than I thought, got to low and span around tapping the wall, restarted as the fast guys where comming around, tried getting a gear that would keep me ahead, but swamped a turn later. Then hit the wall a little harder, then found the car no longer drove (found this out by hitting the outside of the pit wall. Struggled around for a further lap before having a 35 second pit stop to fix damage.

Came back out for the last 10 or so laps, nice fresh tyres. Wow they really make a differance, I was running quicker than a few poeple now, nothing that made a differance as I was already 3 laps down.

Lesson for me though to maybe do some full race distance testing before hand, maybe I will be more prepared next time.
