Another great race, this time with a bit of luck on my side.
This time I managed to get a valid qualify lap. I tried to be careful and never push too much, but in the end I got a decent lap time that gave me the 5th on the starting grid.
On the first couple of turns, of the first lap, I think Jeffrey, went wide and that slowed down FMG and I passed them both and got up to 3rd place with Mateo right on my tail. I tried to defend but braking for the next corner I went in just a bit to fast and went slightly wide. Me and Mateo had a slight bump but luckily we kept our positions. Then a couple of turns ahead Gavino had a situation and locked the wheels and went out of the track. With that I got the second position.
After that I tried to be as fast as possible without making too much mistakes. Easier said than done with this cars. But, even with small mistakes here and there, I managed to keep the second place and defend from Mateo when we was close enough to strike an attack. But gradually I started to have a gap between me and the following group of cars.
The on the second part of the race I started to have some issues with tire wear that caused me to loose concentration and started to loose a few tenths, or even a second, a lap which meant that by the end of the race, Jeffrey was really close. For the last two laps was full concentration to keep the car on the black stuff, trying never to go too deep into the corners so that I could have a good exit and keep safe from an eventual Jeffrey attack.
In the end the second position was very good and much better than I expected given the pace of other drivers that were quite faster then me, but due to race circumstances, ended up behind me.
Also to note a situation when I was approaching a back marker and on the last corner I saw him go wide, spin and when I saw him coming back into the track backwards out of control I thought I couldn't avoid him. Luckily I managed to avoid him, but lost almost a second and a half with it.
