First race in this totally unknown circuit for me, and the 0 practice laps strategy, surely doesn't helped me.
It was surely not my favourite track with all these slow corners, but at least it was easier to learn it. In any case, the 2 possible choices for this race were not in the list of my favourite cars, but I tried to race at my best as ever. Lap after lap, I was getting better on laptimes, and my start position was good compared to my 15 mins training for this race, so at least was going to be a nice mid pack challenge.
At the start I gained a couple of positions, while at the third corner someone did a "kamikaze" attack, and the pack was immediately divided in 2 groups.
The guys in front were flying and I wasn't able at all to keep their pace, even if after some laps I was getting near Miguel laptimes. When Miguel went a bit wide at the first corner, I passed him, but I did not try to resist so much in my defense, and he easily passed me again a corner later.
Lost the contact with Miguel, I was only trying to see the checkered flag, cause I forgot to change my "white spot" before the start, and the last 10 laps were a real disaster for me.
Geoffers replaced the gap, and I tried to resist him successfully for some laps. Then he made a mistake, giving me a break. My mobile rang just in the "right" moment, and I had even the time to answer to my friend saying him: "I will recall you in 5 mins"
. Back to the race Geoffers was again in my mirrors, and 1 or 2 laps before the end I went too wide at the first corner, and even Matt passed me. Finally the race was over!!! I hope to be more trained for the next one
Grats to the podium and to all the participants. Thanks to Geoffers for the nice and correct duel... til it lasted
