My race had 2 halfs:
I managed to qualify 6th (!!!) of 12, but lost 2 or 3 positions right after the start, because (as always) I was overly careful again. Then, in lap 2, there was chaos on the straight, where the 3rd split is; I was able to avoid the most of it and passed 3 cars. The following laps until the pitstops were rather uneventful, although Afro, TeazR and me were close together in positions 4, 5 and 6. But the gap stayed the same almost the whole time; we were equally fast (slow).
But in lap 23 or sth (cant remember exactly; maybe even earlier), TeazR flipped it in that mean chicane after the 3rd split, so I passed him. I had a 10 second gap to Afro in 5th and managed to narrow that down to 5 seconds until the pit stop in lap 30.
There begins the 2nd half.
Already in the first laps, I missed some braking points because of the cold tyres, so that the gap was again 10 seconds big, when Afro pitted 1 lap later. The next laps until lap 37 were uneventful. In lap 37, TeazR, who maybe went for the wrong strategy, pitted and left the pits 15 seconds behind me in 6th place. The gap before our pits was only 6 or 7 seconds. At that time, I was still pretty confident in maybe getting Afro and take 4th position, but between lap 37 and lap 47, I had 3 spins and several other smaller mistakes, which put me out of my rythm. My ass did hurt and I sweated everywhere, so I decided to park the car in the pits for the last laps, because I was last anyway.
I did that and finished 5th.
Normally, I would be very happy with the 5th position, but seeing, that so many people left the server or werent there in the first place, Im not really.
