@ Dean: I adjusted SC setup, with slightly taller gearings and some other little tweaks...I managed (Ferrari) engine temps to stay within 110C to last for the race...
I am very disappointed with myself with my overall performance tonight...pole was ok, not special with some tow, did a 34.8 in training with a few tenths room...
In the race I lost the lead soon to Uli and Axel, few laps later got the lead back, tried to break away, but then went wide in Blanchimont...decided to stay with the leaddraft taking it easy and managing engine, and Arf passed me as well...Arf went wide in La Carriere, and then it was a trio again...
At some point got back to the lead, when I was thinking maybe being able to break away (of course that wouldn't have happened), and had another brainfade hitting the armco hard towards La Source...
29m40.330s
Robert Fleurke - spotters reporting:
medium problems with right front tire.
medium problems with right front suspension.
minor problems with right rear suspension.
Uli spun because of that I think. Great recovery by Uli there, and Axel did a great job avoiding us and taking the lead..
Strangely enough my car still felt pretty good...again decided to be safe and follow Uli and Axel and saving engine, trying to make a move towards the end of the race...when Axel had to slow for Uli into Blanchimont last lap, I thought I could pass Axel inside, but didn't hold my line and wrecked my teamie...
Then I couldn't get back on the track with an unvisible wall, and drove backwards being lost, and trying to find a gap, I didn't and retired...then I noticed I got a DQ...
Really really annoyed with myself driving like a clown...basically whole race, but that last move was just plain stupid...I will report myself and accept any penalty...
Congrats Uli and sorry again Axel, you deserved to win or either P2. Still happy you got P3
As for my race, uneventful save for a lap 1 error that made me plum last. Benefited from other people's mistakes, and finished 5th on the results, 6th if Robert's re-instated.
No Jethro, if and when I will be reinstated I will be 9th, as I didn't finish the last lap
