Man, for a moment I thought podium was there.
As Matt Row said in the other thread - such a great track for these cars.
After the decent start of the season, I decided this is a place where I can save some tokens. I decided to give the Ferrari a go, and I was delighted with it. It wasn't that powerful on the straights, but it was very reliable, easy to navigate and solid in the corners.
Practice was good as well. I did a new PB, however, P7 was the best I can take. At the start I was able to make a good start and overtake 1 colleague and then everybody started making mistakes.
And I found myself in P3 with around 6 seconds lead to Pete. He was faster, about 0.5 to 1 second per lap, however, I was ready to fight.
Everything went lose when I was about to lap Doni. He started lifting the gas at the end of the last corner, I went to the right to make the maneuver, however, the car understeered so badly that I almost killed myself. I pressed the brakes aggressively and was able to only clip the edge at the pit entry. However, I spun as well and lost P3. Then I lost concentration and spun 2 more times within the next 2 laps, giving away P4 as well.
From there I started finding the rhythm again and was careful not to be overtaken by Tom.
At the end P5 with Ferrari is not that bad and I am taking some decent points for the championship, plus saving valuable tokens.
Grats to Alain on a great pole, fastest lap and a win, and to Evil Clive and Pete on their podiums.
