Tasmanian Challenge

Well done Caner, Felipe & Heinz, some close racing there!

Bad race for me though, had a poor setup so i was much slower than everyone on the straights, couldn't really defend from Caner & Heinz when they came past so i just tried to get as many points as possible. Just before my 2nd stop i had a black screen freeze on the back straight, so no chance of battling with the guys ahead so just kept going in a safe consistent manner. 4th wasn't too bad after all!

Cheers all!

Cool.

Sorry for any mistakes while being lapped, I tried my best not to be a hazard. The most scary was when I fishtailed in front of Paulo on the last turn; it was my 1st lap after pits (cold tyres) and I had changed softs for intermediates so I miscalculated the grip. Sorry there, Paulo!

I went for the race just aiming to go my pace and finish it to get some experience. So I'm quite glad I did finish it with only minor incidents and mistakes.

First time with the car so I couldn't even try setting up properly; I just went with default setup with minor changes for the stable side and that was it.

It was a good experience for consistency and smoothness - especially midrace when I quit trying to make fast laps and my times actually improved =)

Towards the end I was pretty wasted and started making mistakes out of tiredness (this was my longest race so far). Spun only once (which on this car for me is a victory in itself) and it was due to being so tired. I should learn to left foot brake, if anything else because my right leg gets so tired from doing both jobs.

Anyway, congrats to the finishers and podium, I could see some nice racing there as you all flew by me :)

Not So happy with my result.
In Quali Mark caught me offguard with a miracle lap.

Took it cautiously on lap 1, and could see I was the only one doing so, so I put my foot down on lap 2 and started pulling Mark back in.
Mark soon became the slowest man on track defending the lead and tried everything in his power to retain it..
Eventually I was caught between the front of caner's car and rear of Mark who was recovering from being in such a mess and got spun around..

So lap 7 I had a damaged car and had to fight back.
On lap 76 I sniffed half a chance at 2nd and lap 80 I attempted a race with Felipe, but I could not better him and only managed 3rd.

Some lapped traffic ignored blue flags too.

Good race for me, unexpected result too. Got some pace at the end. Lik Luiz said when you don't push it, it gives you the best times.

@Heinz the lapped car is not in need to stop to let you pass, it is up to you to pass it cleanly. And the best way is not in the mid of corner. And here you got 2 big straits so plenty of room for clean pass...
