haha bilbo i wouldnt know since im not a prone crasher but i'm sure your the master of it
lol
And to the Q, i arrived late but just had time to finish my Q-laps. Almost got my max out i belive, could have done maby a tenth or two better but ending up 3 tenths after fred that wouldnt had helped either. Nice work fred, but you still start like a girl
and to the race
I made a good start and was first into T1, but hugging the inside wall i realized i had no idea where T1 was...and even less the braking point. While contemplating this, i realized that i need to stop thinking and start braking..but too late, grr, went wide and lost p1 to fredrik. Charging up eau rouge where fredrik me and pascal, all together, and pascal cruized between our slipstreams and overtook me. I was way to cautious, but really nice work there pascal! I ended up 3rd, and i'd guess i was somewhere around 1 second faster /lap...but NO NO NO, i just couldnt get passed. Greatest fighting so far i think, i was a few meters behind and each lap in front in some areas (think i had the topspeed) but i just couldnt get passed, pascal did a great defensive driving. I ended up right on his ass (and i mean really close) for the first 9 laps (exept for a lap where i went wide and had to catch up 1.5ish secs). Finally made a move stick into bus stop, but fredrik was alredy long gone...13 seconds. I set off at maximum speed and managed to snatch best lap, only to find out fredrik had spotted my progress. He duely took the lap record back the next time around, but the gap stayed fixed at 13 seconds for these laps. Then fredrik thought he'd have a date with the walls around eau rouge, which left me in a giant lead. So after that i was just phasing, did my first pitstop and emerged in the lead after that one, and continued. Was getting really bored, and actually thought of making a voluntery drive through or switch to a 3stop or someting to get some action, decided i needed some sugar to think it through, and came up with the brilliant idea to drink cola while driving too eau rouge... and, yes- BOOOOM!. limped back to the pits, the car didnt suffer too much actually, just a lost front wing and some damage to the sides so i could keep quite a good phase to the pits, had a 26 sec pitstop and emerged 3rd a few seconds behind philmax and pascal who where having a fight
. philmax had to pit, and a few laps later i cought up with pascal again:D having learned my lesson, i only got stuck some 2-3-4 laps behind before finding my way past into T1. After that it was just to shortshift to the finish.
3 wins 1 second and 1 dnf, bring it on - mooonza!
Congrats to pascal for a great race, really focused and good driving- you made no misstakes at all those laps in the beginning, and i really had to fight hard to make it past. Congrats to the other finishes, and tough luck for G25 who needed a few more laps to be classified.
and to my teamm8 - stop crashing, you are faster than me
