Well Well Well!
Qualification: 1st. Between me and second place was .007 difference and between me and 10th place was not more than one second difference(around 900 ms)
Race: Started good,but Kjell started even better,what makes him to overtake me in first corner because it was on inside.
13 laps i was chasing him with less than 500ms difference between us overall. My strategy for the race was the one that maked me finish on a bad place. I was planing to do first 13 laps from 42,with fuel of 13 laps and change the slicks,so,in lap 12-13 i pitted and exit on the last place. When the race was at half,the others started to pit but my tires allready started a little bit to grind. In lap 22 i think,i was in first place again,but Andreas Lofler was right behind me chasing after pole.
About 10-11 laps he keept after me but my tires were getting warm and warm and slippery.When i saw that he is getting very close to me in some of the corners(i was faster in others),i let him overtake me because there wasn't a point to fight against him when my slick were getting distroied more and more.But after he overtooked me,i chase him about 5-6 laps.But my tires were at 32% used and 2 cars behind me ovetooked me when i braked later after big straight. I keept up with them only 2 laps more as the rain started and was a nasty one,not like the one we had in first 10 laps,it was more a storm. Because i changed the graphic card with a older one as the one that i was using wasn't good for this game,and because i changed it i'v had to turn all the graphic details to low,low,low,off,low,50% etc....so,i wasn't able to see how much rain is falling on the track to realise that my slicks were becomeing needless.So,when the rain started to transform in a storm,i was like on ice,really ice,i never experienced a more slippery car than this one on this track. It was heel. 4-5 drivers overtooked me as i was allways out of track in the corners.I decided to change them into wet tires(forgot to tell you that when the big rain started,i was changing the tires but with slicks agan,and it was awful). After i changed them into wet,i was riding pretty better but allready lost many places.But,for my surprising,many people pitted again as the rain was very bad and they were having probably also slicks or used wets. I managed to got place 4th but i started to make mistakes as i was tired and the tires were allmost 0% efficienty and when i falled on 6th,in last lap i saw Andreas Lofler that was exiting the pit right behind me,and i tought that i should wait him to have a little fun untill finish as we anyway were the last 2 places on the track.....hehe,but he didn't understanded and when i maked a mistake he didn't waited and run to defend his new place
. Overall,it was a kickass race,but i am sad that i didn't planed better the strategy,i was a foul.
Sorry for those 2 cars that i tapped from behind a little.I was lately on braking because of tires.Next time i'l be more careful.
