Intense race indeed
.
I opted for a low downforce setup with only 0-4 wing, which was actually higher than my 0-3 at Road America. At RA I gained a whopping 2kph down the straight in comparison to 2-5 wing, but atleast it felt nicer there
.
But because of that low downforce, I had to brake earlier than Maikel, which I think caught him out a bit. So every time he was close behind, I would brake a bit later, to not surprise him too much, but that resulted in me having a bad exit out of turn 1 twice. First time we went side by side pretty much the whole lap, which was awesome.
The second time, around halfway through the race it he got by, but then I thought, now comes my low drag settings into effect...but absolutely nothing was gained, even in the draft
. So I knew at that point I released the Kraken and he was off. Decided a lap later that it would be more fun to keep the drift going into turn 7 instead of cathcing it earlier, which resulted me going into the gravel and losing a second and the connection to Maikel.
I knew his race pace was stronger than mine, so it was impossible to do anything afterwards.
Let's see, what timestamp did I get overtaken...ah, next race will be 25 minutes long
