I had never driven Donington in any sim before and didn't even really know the layout, hence why I chose to go in the Ferrari again to not waste my tokens in an event I had not practiced for. Additionally I only got home at 10 P.M. my time which was already 15 minutes into the qualifying session, quickly installed the track and did a few laps offline to get a feeling for the track, change the camber appropriately and tweak the gears to suit the track. With about 10-15 minutes left, I finally joined the server and tried everything I could, but couldn't get below 1:10.
Unfortunately Tristan did not race, that way I was gifted P2 from the start. Had a solid getaway, but quickly felt that Yannick was faster and knew that I had to find more pace to hold on to the slipstream. But some laps into the race I lost the rear due to a silly mistake; thankfully I had been able to build a gap to Leo in P3. Got my rhythm back and drove a solid and quite quick race, still only good for half a minute distance to Yannick.
Well done mate, that was a great display of your raw pace, and well done Leo for completing the podium! Also happy to see everyone (of the starters) except Alain finishing, great display of consistency. However my apologies to Phil again who was in a really close battle with Tom, going into the last lap I had a better run out of the last corner and decided to go for the overtake which I now regret. Surely this could have gone down to the wire into the last corner between you two... Guess you learn something new every day.
