Wow i was lucky, just as i cross the finish line, i ran few more corner, and my computer frozen, sorry guys, ha to restart it 
My qualif was just more than needed and i was hapy with it.
I did a little mistake at start, and as usual, aaron got on my side, or close to it. I decide keep the outside of T1, but i lost him in my mirror, and as soon as i saw him in front, another driver was on my side, and i was not able to see and i went from 1st to 5th before end of T3... i was feeling so stupid at that point. Steve was right in back of me, and i felt soo bad, i almost slow on purpuse to let him pass, i was feeling we were all going to let him behind us
and it hapend. Nice to see you didnt lost courage, and i feel bad for your stall.
I was able to pass Bilbo and Hitman at the hairpin before last curve, was nice run guys. I know that i had few close wheel to wheel with some driver, and that was just awsome. I was feeling like in total control of my car, and i start to know verry well the driving style of others, so im able to get close to put pressure, but with respect. I was able keep the rhytm with Aaron and Juan, cause i was not in good position to catch them easy. Aaron pit soon, and from there i lost him, and i think i saw in my mirror that Juan did some smoke when he pit. I dont know who almost did like Hamilton at pit entrance, but someone kiss the wall
. What a jump on the way into pit, lol
As soon as i knew that i was not reatchable and all was not on 1 less pit than me, i just lift off and save the car untill the end.
Was fun battle, i will watch it back on replay, i have to see 2 close shot with Hitman and 1 with Juan when he pit. An what a battle between Bilbo and Juan for the last few laps, computer frozen, i dont know who win between them!!!
Im verry proud of everyone, nice clean race (from what i saw)
Cya on next race, last of season!

Fairly happy with P2 in qualli, I could have pushed a bit more but who knows what would have happened. As usual I got a good start and overtook flow to take the lead. I knew that had to be done since I was on 3 stops and figured most were not. Sadly the tires didn't last and I wasn't able to pull anywhere near enough gap. It's been a while since I've ran up front so that was a nice feeling. On my last pitstop I also did a hamilton and got in the gravel then took the wing off. Then basically just road hoping something would happen ahead of me to get me on the podium. I'm pretty happy with P3 in the race although if I had prepared better who knows what would have happened. Nice to finish a race, something I haven't been doing lately. Especially as tired as I was going into it. Two nights of F1 China took their toll on my sleep. See ya at Brazil.
See ya at Brazil.
I also did somwhat of a "Hamilton". I entered the pits too hot on my 2nd stop, couldn't turn and just hit the wall in front of the entrance. I've had to get out of there in reverse gear...
My qualification went pretty much as I expected since I did not train much on the setup I used. Overall, my race also went pretty much as I expected too, with the exception of getting P2 at the end. I used a race setup that I had compromised the speed in favor of stability, figuring it was better just to make it to the end and grab some points rather than just crash and go away empty-handed. I also finally found out how to drive 'the snail' at T1-T3 after my 1st pitstop. Better late than never but I'm still happy to have made a 1:34.4 in race as it's faster than what I was doing in practice.
Congrats to Flow for the win and all who made it to the end. See you in Brazil!
