A far from perfect, but still good event for me on this wonderful track at Sugo.
I did a lot of practice for this one and was expecting a liitle bit more from me this time around.
Q: After some bad superpole-laps for me on my last STC races, this one was finally a solid one without a biger mistake.
I could not really attack this lap, because I was sliding atround a bit too much, but still a nice time and almost my pb (p5 on the grid).
R: I had some luck on the start that I barely avoided the situation with Risto and Yuri after turn 2.
After that I tried to stay somewhat close to the leaders, but I couldn't really make that happen, intead Yuri came closer quickly after a while.
When the time for the pitstop came around I was still in p3 with a small gap, but the outcome of the pitstop was very discouraging...
I had a perfectly normal pitstop and was still overtaken by Yuri who was pitting on the same lap + I lost a ton of time to the Corvettes in front. Having started with a full tank this was really discouraging stuff, but oh well...
My second stint was unfortunatly not the best one, with 2 mistakes that costed me a couple of seconds; the second one beeing close to Robin who apparently had some minor problems at the end.
At one time there was also Alexandre who came very close until he had a quick offtrack experience on the last corner just like myself later on.
q: 5th / r: 4th
I should still be happy with the result
Still there's some bad luck going on with our team on this season which will hopefully turn around for the better for the last 2 rounds.
An extra kudos from my part to the guys that were lapped during the race on this narrow track, it all went very smooth, thank you
