Pool 5
Started 3rd with killer strategy, but it failed since I revealed it in lagstart. The fzr's in front closed the middle door in real start. Got bumped a little, no biggie. Made a drastic driving mistake in lap two (or three) and ended almost last. From there on it was blitz. I made my way up to first position (last two positions gained were thanks to pitstops of others and lack of mine). I drove FXR and tried to make it without pitting. Didn't work. On lap 29 it was really obvious that although the R3's could have lasted, they cooled down really fast.
There went the grip. I made some setup adjustments from F12 screen. I changed into R2's with higher pressures and lower camper. That was planned just before the race. It was my hotlapping setup and it worked.
I fell right back into being third, but could clock new pb and faster laps than before. I gained a little and then a lot when the second place holder had problems and had to pit. NASSA's Osoi was about 30 secs ahead and drove pretty much the same laptimes as me, so the rest was just driving fast and safely.
Me very happy to second place
Perhaps the best race in the whole season for me. Which is funny, since I didn't like the gtr-cars before the actual race. FXR rocks, and luckily didn't roll this time.
