![]() Again (like the Toyota race at Suzuka where I gave up 3rd place in the LAST TURN). Complete c-up of a mistake and all of my own doing. and in the process hooked that awkward curb by aiming too deep into the apex while the car passed in front of me (obscuring my view of the curve), and ended up looping it into the inside guardrail. Only then to try to outside-in undercut a guy that was pressing hard into the last hairpin. So was encouraged that now all I needed to do was avoid mistakes and carnage at this race and a decent result was waiting for me.īut: I let a couple past to avoid trouble early, slipping to 6th, then recovered a spot or so when trouble found people ahead. maybe my pace is actually improved after all. been surprising myself on occasion in qualifying.

I still struggled with my fronts badly in the final laps, however. Knowing it was a survival race, I tried to save my soft tyres, as I planned to do a no-stop. Did a mid 35, 1.1 sec off pole despite being purple in the first sector (so the issue was definitely not the first corner! ).

Did some laps in TT with a rental car and I knew it would be a struggle if I didn't get into the 34s.
