5ª Prova do Campeonato GPC

[Alexfighter]

Wow. I don't have to say that I'm very happy with the result.

This time I could do all my quali laps, but at the middle of the qualifying session I was worried because I only did 1.23 and thought I was gon very fast. That put me 11th, and that meant two problems:
1.- Start in the middle of the pack.
2.- My setup doesn't let me overtake. I had more wing that most people.

But I did a second try and got a 3rd. Yeah!

Race:
I did a clean start and gained one position. At the first laps I was constantly pushed because I was a bit more conservative than the rest and because I was teh slowest on straights. A couple of people passed successfully (I even had to run a bit wide on the chicane to leave space to someone who already had the right to pass teh turn first), but other two or three were excessively optimistic when they charged at me: as I had more wing, they got me on straights but even running conservative I braked the same or better; they found themselves without the hoped space, braked excessively and spun. That left me in a comfortable 5th.

From then on, as I knew before the start I couldn't fight for a podium, only wait for a podium, that's what I did. I managed the distance with 6th and at half race I was already in my final position: 3rd.

I had a couple of frights
1.- When before the chicane I step over some debris and I slided.
2.- When I encountered in turn five a driver who lost a lap going really slow and I almost run wide to avoid him without spinning.
Well, and other minor overlapping situations.

Anyway after the first few laps it was a pretty calm race. I didn't push at all, only at the end I tried to save my honour and avoid the winner to lap me xD But anyway I kept far from my best timings in training.

Well, see you on track!
