Oh, how things can change.
I was pumped for the race. Set felt nice, times were good and the combo was truly nice. Quali went as expected and got myself into the top 10.
Race started fine - went wide in the first tight corner but many thanks for people spotting me in mirrors. Lost a few places but had amazing battles right until (on lap 4, I think) I misshifted before the righthander sweeper into 1st split, understeered on the grass and into the wall. Left front suspension damaged and I couldn't get my groove on again so I drove around frustrated on cruise control. My best lap that night was about 2 secs from my PB so I was quite crushed afterwards of the terrible outcome.
