No problem, Michael
Had a great race and really needed to push quite hard in the beginning of race 2 to keep in front. Sadly you lost time after someone collided with you, so i saw you sadly disappear into the graveltrap...
Lets get back to the beginning:
Quali went quite well: was on my PB with a 1:48.2, did mess up a lap when i was -0.3 down in the 2nd sector. P4 in the end for me.
Race 1: Start was great! Came away very well, and managed to pass the 3 in front and kept Helder (who also had a good start) behind me. First 10 laps went great. I quick builded a lead of 4 seconds, which i kept until 3 laps before the end...... Then the handling of the car suddenly went very bad, so lost control of the car more then once and even spun the car around after the hairpin. Ended on P6.
Race 2: Actually same story
Again good start! went to P1 again before T1. Kept the lead for 6 -7 laps. Then Fred passed me with his BMW. He really tamed his BMW better then i did. I saw him drive away quite steadly. So i was quite steady on P5 (Helder was 5 secs behind), until i messed up again
Locked my rear under braking and kisses on the inside of T6. Only lost some seconds, but my front suspensions was quite damaged. My steering well was about 5 to 10 degrees off center, so handling went from bad to worse :o
Anyway, this time i managed it on the podium though.
So in the end, im quite happy with the progression i made controlling the BMW this season. But there are still some things to work on!
Thank you all guys for the race and see you again very soon
