Well, single seaters arnt really my thing and I had been busy practicing for other leagues but still gave it my best shot. I started in 21st on server 2, even with a p.b in qualifying. The timer went orange and qualifying was over, my final lap was good, i crossed the line and got my first 2:01 p.b. (yes i know its slow compared to the fast guys).
The race started and I was a bit nervous, lots of cars around and I found myself passing slow or spinning cars aswell as catching up to other racers on the track, a little out of my comfort zone, I just wanted to cruise round safely.
I think I tapped dsrc michael on the bum in the oval section, sorry mate, bad judgement of my overtake, got away with it but felt a bit bad. I think a couple of laps later i almost rear ended him again but managed to avoid it, just!
Then I settled into a rhythm in some space, found my line and tried my best not to get it wrong, something took hold of me and drove for me, at times I sat there with the wheel in my hands, baffled that I hadnt messed it all up yet, practice was terrible I wasnt very confident for the race distance at all. I slowly saw my position rising due to people making errors or pit stops which was nice too. I wasnt prepared to fight anyone, just get it home in the position I was in, a top 10 was more than I expected. So there I was cruising in 8th place with only a few laps to go when someone was gaining on me in my mirror. I let them go by taking a wide line and not fighting for it, but I guess someone took kindly to my good deed and the guy pitted then next lap, so my position I got back!
I pitted once didnt have much damage, had a little too much fuel at the end but glad that I made sure I had plenty, 60% start fuel, pit just over half way and take on 50% fuel and new tyres. Old worn tyres are so nice when they cool down eh?!
8th place on server 2 even though I was slow and unsteady. chuffed with that.
