E90: Bahrain

WOW. What a race.

Congrat to the podium.

Qual: Made a few changes from prac to qualy which got me .5secs. Once again, went out on race fuel NOT qualy fuel. So probably could have been alittle faster. But I got 9th so no complaint.

Race: Dropped the ball on the start. I think my gearing was off for first gear and 5th I was expecting to draft here, but only did so twice. I knew T1 would be ugly, so I settled for keeping it clean. Dropped 4 spots on the start and made 2 backup after T1. Had an excellent battle with Janko Glavac at least for 2 or 3 laps anyway. After that, I was circulating the air around the track by myself in 7th. After 5 laps, the race became uneventful... fine by me. I really don't care for this place too much. Its to bumpy and has no grip.

JANKO - Thanks for the great fight. You were clearly faster, but that was fun trying defend the position.

See you all at the next one.

Well this was fun. Downloaded track 15mins before Q and had a try, but my left window was TINTED BLACK (wth i dont know) so i was trying to connect all through Q to get it normal but nothing... so i was dead last in Q.

Start was great but i had to find my braking points since i havent driven a lap around here in E90. Good way to learn them is during race lol...

Car felt great and i managed to climb up to 5h, only 0.1 behind 4th. Had such great fights with lots of guys here and i love this track. Just wanted 1 more lap... would be even more interesting.

Grats to podium

Anyone knows why the blacktint left window... u cant see anything next to you :(

Want to forget this one.
Somebody hit Liam who spun into me and gave me suspension damage (not Liam's fault)
Car understeered off the track, spun, hit Alfredo and backed into the wall. Sorry Alfredo. My race done before lap 1 was done.

Yep, I was spun at the start after cleanly and fairly making up 3 or 4 places. Immedately took two drivers the corner after and then fought back up. Saw Fraca cut the tricky left hander ahead of me but he wasn't penalised, so my guess is that it wasn't witnessed. From there it was just keeping it steady.

Sorry Liam.

Bit late, but not to worry :).

Was surprised to see I was upfront in free practice as I downloaded this track especially for this race. Wish I had downloaded it sooner as it's great. It's got some really challenging braking zones which is great.

Got 2nd in Qual but at the start i found my 1st gear is too long so I slipped down to 3rd by T1. Was lucky in T1 I think cause I saw a car flying down the inside a bit out of control on the brakes. Luckily though it just brushed my rear so I got away with it.

Raul P was ahead in 2nd but on the 2nd lap he lost the rear and spun across my nose. Luckily I was just able to get on the brakes in time so I didn't hit him.

Joaquin was now a good 4 seconds up the road, and I was concentrating on my mirror more as Barney F was charging up behind me. He had a moment though not soon after and dropped back. The gap to Joaquin was still around 4 seconds so I figured I wouldn't catch him so I settled for 2nd. To my surprise though and for what ever reason the gap started to fall, and with 2 laps to go I was a second behind him. Was right on his bumper with half a lap to go but in the end I ran out of corners and couldn't find away past. An other lap or so and it might have been interesting :).

Grats the Joaquin on the win, you looked to be very happy after you crossed the line :), and grats to Barney for getting 3rd.

I'll cya at the next one.
