250RPM
Overall a good race for me, although a solitary one. My best time in practice was 1.44.211, with 85 liters in the tank, and I was expecting to shave 1,5 secs with fuel for 3 or 4 laps only. Yet, the car felt different with less fuel, and I never managed a good lap in qualification, so I had to settle with my 6th position in the grid, with 1.43.5xx I think.
I'm not sure if it was Dmytro or Yves, but the pole was a high 1.41! Good fast driving there, congrats!
After first laps, the race didn't had much history. I was mainly concerned with saving tires and keeping a regular pace, as tire wear was very rapid. My strategy did pay off, as many drivers that were in front of me in the first part of the race had accidents, which allowed me to take 2nd position around my second pit stop and keep it until the end of the race.
One thing I should mention is that I was blocked twice by cars reentering the track after an off-road excursion. They were both in front of me in overall classification, and as faster drivers they should know better and let pass incoming cars before reentering the asphalt. Goes without saying that I won't mention names here, but they know who they are and this saves me the trouble of writing two PM's...
