A bit of a mixed bag from me.
Quali was fine, with BACKO stealing pole by .001s
but it was still front row. I managed to nail the start and got into T1 in the lead
and after that I steadily pulled out a small gap. Around lap 3 I realised I'd not put mediums back on after quali, and my front-left tyre was around 120-130 degrees
The tyres held their own though and I won by about 5s in the end
Race 2 was always going to be interesting starting from the back, I changed to mediums though that may have been my biggest mistake. I got off the grid a little slow but I managed to get into T1 in a reasonable position, then got smacked by someone and somehow I managed to hold it on the grass. A close couple of laps had me 2 or 3 places behind Jeff around 7th. After fighting passed Kerr and Darren (I think), I was chasing down Jeff, 7s behind BACKO the leader, when I got sideways under braking and took a big trip across the grass. Rejoined on the outside of Sabadell and ended up doing a slightly silly move under braking into T1 on John (apologies
though I did make the inside apex somehow
) but it was immaterial as I binned it into the tyres less than half a lap later
Looking back on it I have a feeling the damage I got from the first lap was why the car was so twitchy rather than the medium tyres, though I should've still been a bit more careful trying to catch the leaders.
Well done to JR and BACKO on some good racing, and everyone who turned up- whould be good to see a couple more next week
