Very bad race for me, it took me a couple of days to let the bitter taste out of my GPL system
. Had started decently enough, I was following Ronnie, for many laps after a couple of position swaps in the first part of the race. Was driving very poorly for some reason, with no consistency and laptimes all over the place, but I could keep the gap at bay and was hoping to come back in the second part of the race, alothough I realised watching the replay that Ronnie was actually very quick, so I would have needed some help on his side to actually do that
. Then Hristo appeared following his charge from the back, I knew it was just a matter of time as I could see he had never been far behind, albeit with a few cars to pass. Nice tussle with the waza Honda, when he finally passed me I was determined to at least go and catch second place from the eagled Ronnie. It wasnt to be, arriving at the last chicane I noticed what I thought was an anomalous cloud of dust, had the hunch there was a spinning car hiding into it and went left in a haste to try and avoid a crash. Totally wrong split second decision, not only there was no crash to avoid, but I unsettled the car and was launched against the wall on the left of the S/F straight, one wheel missing, end of it..
Drove a very poor race, made another very stupid mistake, and I did quit GPL for ever and ever, an irrevocable decision that lasted an entire half hour after that... However, I found I am a flexible man after all
Grats to Hristo for a brill charge from the back, and to podium and finishers. Glad theres always the next one to look out for
