A race to make show. Rather than pushing to the limit, we thought about having fun. Every corner I was looking for a powerslide. To do this I had to enter the corners a little slower because I had a bit of understeer in entering (which I was unable to solve with the setup). The exit however was elated.
Unfortunately I damaged the gearbox considerably missing a gearchange in 2nd gear and every time I used that gear I had troubles. This made life a bit difficult for me in heavy brakes (T1 and chicane).
A great close battle with Tim.
In the beginning when he passed me, I had a bad time with a curb and I lost one second there. Luckily he ended up on an oil spot at the hairpin shortly after and went wide (strange because you could see the oil
).
After that it was an even tougher battle, with crazy overtaking, smoking wheels and side by side actions.
I think we did a good show, in full DTM style.
PS: medium tires can run 30 minutes without any problems, I raped them and they still worked.
