good fun as always guys!
I had never been to Bahrain before so I got up early and had some practice before the race, (the duty free was tops!)
managed to learn the course, another week or two would have been better but ohwell! very nice track, a few places you can get runs on people if you have a good entry, or exit, good fun...
Qual,
cooked the first corner and lost about .5-.8 just there, ended up qual 5th, with no mess up would have been 3rd I think,
Race 1
Had a decent start, I was running up the outside next to Chris, ended up running out of track on the way into the corner and that lost me places, came back into it and had Eric on my outside, I think he pushed wide, I came across and we tapped, I waited and me and Eric started the journey of catching the field, however I then spun on exit of T3!!!! shabby shitouse start! After getting back on it cost me about 23 seconds!!!
Chased Eric and we tried to catch the field! I knew if I was consistent my pit stop would be very quick and I could catch people then apply pressure on the home stretch!
Pitted and came out just behind Noel, stayed up his rear for ages, managed to pressure a mistake in T3 and Noel went wide, took my line and came through and I think Noel managed to come back and tap my side, hope it didnt damage your car Noel?
Finished 4th 20 seconds behind 2nd...bummer, no mistakes at the start i could have been 2nd..ohwell...race 2!!!
Race 2
started pretty ewell and was in 1st on the first laps with Zizzo up my arse! I ended up cooking the rears a few times allowing zizzo and Rinze to get past me, ended jup staying right behind Rinze and thought I had better pace through sector 2, had a good run up on him in the fast right hander and thought I was staying on the inside enough but must have just touched his right rear and sent him off! Sorry Rinze!!! i waited for Rinze to rejoin and went behind him, we had to then catch the whole field again
we were 13 seconds behind 2nd place!
Rinze ended up running wide after we had gone past Eric up in sector 2 fast right hander and it gave me the room to get by, I ran some pretty consistent laps to try adn catch Noel and Chris, Eric reported that Rinze had pitted so I decided to pit next lap, had another good stop and came out about 11 seconds ahead of Rinze!!!! awesome!!!
Chris and Noel pitted, when Chris pitted he came out just in front of me, I was .4 off his rear when he pitted again, guessed he had a black flag and I kept consistent to the end to hold on to 2nd place!!
Very happy with how Race 2 ended, I had the consistent pace to get the same in Race 1 if I was cleaner on the first lap!!!
Good fun gents, see you all at Barcelona!!!
