Sllim Challenge

Happy with this result!

Qualifying: I went into Quali not knowing what to expect - I had been practicing earlier on in the day and couldn't get out of the 1:21 bracket. Was at the end of a chain reaction punt in the pitlane, which caused damage to the car which I couldn't repair, so the car wasn't quite the same. Much to my amazement, however, my first lying lap was in the 1:20 bracket! I wouldn't get close to this time again. I damaged the car some more so that was that. 3rd on the grid wasn't too bad.

Race: After quali I made some tweaks to the car which I thought would help in the race, which they later turned out to do. Got a good start (no stalling this time!) and settled down into 3rd place after the first lap. I let Pablo and Julio get away from me in the opening stages of the race, as I was working on just getting a good groove, and thinking about tyre conservation, as I knew 24 laps would be quite hard work on the tyres. This stage of the race was lonely for me, Julio was too far up the road, and I had nobody in the mirrors. Had a close shave with a spun ZR into Turn One on about lap 3 or 4, narrowly avoiding a collision! As the race went on, I started to reel in Julio. I figured his tyres were going off or something, as he was braking much earlier into the corners than myself, and he wasn't as fast through them. I tried to make a pass, but Julio's car was lagging badly, and I thought it wise not to make a pass, so I settled in behind and started trying to pressurise Julio into making a mistake. About three laps from the end, he ran off at Turn 6, and I was through! He also made a mistake at Turn 11, and that was the last I saw of him. I just nursed the car to the end, with the tyres fading off, to record a good 2nd place finish.

Grats to the podium finishers in both classes and hopefully see you at Toban ;)

Obviously should've ran the ZR. I couldn't keep the H6 on it's lead. I qualified 18th, and finished about 6 laps in with a DNF.

I'll be at Toban, in a ZR!

I got into the server in the last minutes of warmup, I started at last, after 6 laps was fifth and slowed my pc ... is for the next

I was very surprised when I saw my 5th qualifying position. I didn't get used to my car and it was completely unstable all the time.

However, due to my championship stadning, both driver and team points, I decided to run a clean race and catch as many points as possible. Race started a bit like I was expecting. Lost two positions in the first corner as I took the wider line. I managed to drive pretty equal laps as I was trying to climb back to 5th. At some point of the race I spun and found myself around position 13 or something. I managed to climb back to the 6th position before I spun again, and again, and again and again. My tires were completely dead and I lost my rear wing in some of the spins. At some point of the race my front left tyre blew up and the race was finished.

2 races in one weekend and both of them were disasters. Finally I've completed my exams and I can focus on racing again. Cya in future races with better effort!
