Finally after 2 good nights of rest I can think straight again, instead of going around in circles
! So here's a little recap of my race
!
I had pretty much an ideal starting position, inside row 2, but wasn't able to get a 100% advantage out of that. Which I knew wouldn't matter anyways since the race is long and I didn't want to take any big risks. So I just went with the flow. I had a hard time though getting my drafting right, missed a lot of them. It was quite depressing to be honest, but after the first 100 laps or so I got a good feeling and it went way better.
I had a total of 2 true incidents, and both were on the restart before the S/F line. The first one involved the train slowing down massively just before T3 so I was full on the brakes, just missed the guy in front of me and than someone who totally missed the fact that we were braking hit me hard in the back which made me fly into the wall. Luckilly the pit stayed open so I could crawl in immidiately without losing a lap. The second one was due to over agressive driving from the #76 car who decided that he could go after Joe when the green flag was waved. Trying to overtake me in T3 which had him go on the apron, causing him to hit me and get sideways big time in front of me. No major damage though, so I could continue until the red flag.
Than I lost connection under safetycar conditions together with 3 others. I've been very lucky that Deko decided to red flag the race, I have no idea what caused the loss of connection but I think it was a server problem since Blauwhoff (also from the Netherlands) lost connection aswell, just as some other Mid/North Europeans. And I didn't lose connection to TS.
After this the race started all over again, from disappointment to full on racing concentration. I was strugling to find a good feeling in drafting with David, who ofcourse was doing an awesome job and had epic restarts. He was super sharp, for sure
! But eventually it went okay, and we were able to do decent laptimes. Than I got lose with Jarl after the last SC of the race. Man man man, it was the most epic drafting I've ever had. We must have had some telepathy between eachother or something, because I still don't know how we did it. We had no contact via TS, but still it seemed like we just felt what the other was going to do. It was truely a pleasure driving with him
! The laptimes were very very very good. Mid to 36.23 all the time, I was surprised that we got such a big gab to the field, I think we had over 1/3rd of a lap lead on the 2nd group. And than the last lap... I had been thinking about how I was going to beat him but really I couldn't see any weakness. I had an idea, but that went pretty much overboard when Jarl decided to stick behind me after T2. I just did what my intuition told me to do, and that was go high, slow a bit down so you force the guy behind you passed you and get in his draft and beat him. But he stuck behind, so I had a massive disadvantage. I just slammed on the trottle again, cut to the inside to surprise him and luckilly he fell for it. I won by 0.02 seconds! Un-be-f*cking-livable...
Now there's just one thing to say...
