That was a new track for me [installed fresh for this event] & I'd forgotten about Tuesday race / was not helped by being away since end of last week, returning late Monday evening & no time to practice until the qually session. [Although I must admit - the Tower of Terror at EuroDisney was somewhat entertaining!]
Picked 3x random setups & ended up with Mexico for the race. With just Philippe & Bastian initially in the qually session, I was somewhat hopeful of scoring a lucky podium - if I finished
When teamie DR joined, I knew that would not be on the cards.
Missed the start as I was adding race fuel & decided to try reducing front left tyre pressure as that had been in the red. So ended up a lap down to begin with. But the field was well away & no chance I would see them until they roared up from behind.
In the race, I think the front-left corner of my car was barely hanging on, but I did not want to waste the reset as the car was still rolling - particularly before 50% distance.
In the end, I didn't stop - just kept at it with the waggling wheel, although I could then barely get below 1:40.
Didn't find it particularly fun, but was a chance to get some half-decent points, so was fine.
Congrats to the podium!
Unlucky Billy with your travel woes.
Cheers,
Dave.
