Before the race I switched to the Modena, because i thought it would give me closer racing, because the car is more equal to the other GTC's. I was right
.
Just couldn't get in a good lap during qually, I always messed up one sector. Sometimes I was 0.2 up and then lose it all.
So I had to settle for 3rd behind Paul.
Got off to a good start and could hold on to Paul and Mike. Mike soon found a bananapeel and we were in 1st and 2nd.
I always find it very hard to follow Paul, as he brakes very early, so I had a few scares early on.
With Mark and TT right behind me, I had to push hard to stay in 2nd. A few times I had to fend off the Porka of Mark, as it's faaaast down a straight line
.
I noticed that Paul was sliding a lot, but at that point, so was I
.
At some point he drifted to much and I got the momentum out of the corner, and could get on the outside of Campsa.
There was a great 4 car train up till that point
.
I pitted a bit earlier, to get fresh tyres and a splash of fuel. WHen Paul has done its stop I was 7s infront. It all of a sudden went to 12s, so I could take a bit of pressure off and save tyres.
He was slowly gaining towards the end, but I had enough of gap.
Very good race this, and I'm happy I took the Modena. Although an understeering pig, it's much better for racing than the VertiZZZZzzzzzzz.....
