Start of the race

It's not a big deal.

Could be much better but some things happened and I am satisfied with no DNF this time. Major brake failure on lap 41 (5 laps to go) when I was at confident 2nd could cost me that 2 points. :)

QUAL - OK. Pole (2nd time in the row at this track with this car) with some 0.2xx slower time than my PB. Andrew had some trouble on qualifications. He was the threat this time. Next time, I should try 1:15s. He is keen to take my record:)

START - Clean. Took some distance in couple of laps and that disturbed my concentration so I missed the break point on the big straight and lost that rapidly. Then came...

LAP 8 - turn 2 - Small contact with Andrew - surprised. Where did he come from?!? PITs? Well, this is racing, and you can count on that sort of things. Sooner or latter.
I am sorry that Andrew had that problems at the start of the race.

LAP 8 - next turn, contact with Steve. I didn't realised that he is so close and so keen to take my position just after my spin that folowed that contact with Andrew 10 seconds earlier.

LAP 10 - hairpin - Spin. Lost 2 positions. From 1st to 3rd.

LAP 19 - hairpin - Steve spun. I gain 1 position. Now I am 2nd.

LAP 21 - pit - Took some 30 seconds to repair the damage from those 2 contacts on 8th lap. But, the car gone better from then on. I am confident again.

LAP 32 - I started to push some more, to try to catch (or just to disturb Chris) the leader, from my 2nd position that time. But, Chris was consistent. And, it was better for me to slow down a bit, as my position wasn't attacked. The worse was just around the corner at...

LAP 41 - the car went straight on the brakes, with some 20% of the full braking power. And took me to the left. Next corner to the right. The spotter anounced "the brake failure". OMG. From then on, I tried to stay on the track, made some 10+ wide cornerings without any braking power and did a complete mess of my 2nd position.

At the end 7th. That is better that DNF. Isnt' that?
