Interesting qually battle with Reinhard, I think track evolution helped me get to that time, as times were getting faster by every lap.
I went for softs, as I tried mediums, and they are normally better for half an hour race, but they never got up to temperature for me. So my times were significantly slower with mediums, that they would never win that back in the end.
Thanks to the terrible start sequence (Let me bloody well select first gear), I bogged down and lost 2 places. Game told me leader was on super soft and Reinhard on mediums. So I didn't worry about the leader, as I knew his tyres wouldn't last, but I thought I had to overtake Reinhard quickly, to benefit from my tyres.
In lap 2 I think, I threw a dummy-ish, and dived to the inside of T2 at the last moment, to outbrake him. In the first lap, Reinhard and I had some nice side by side action.
After that, I was quite quickly catching the leader, as his tyres were going away. He made a mistake in turn 1, so I could get alongside and go for the outbraking action in T2. He locked up, went wide, floored it, spun and spun me around
.
Didn' t notice lots of damage, but like Reinhard, due to lock ups afterwards (so maybe some aero damage), I was driving a vibrator for most of the race.
I was catching him around 0,5-1,0 seconds a lap, but the race wasn't long enough
.
Grats for Reinhard, I think we were robbed of a nice race together
