things turned during the race, and i even had the chance to win this race after sebastian came out of pits for the 3rd time. after eau rouge he was in my slipstream and i knew that it wud have been senseless if i fought against him. i boosted down and held the attacking kaag behind me...amazing 2nd place finish in my 2nd (statistically 4th) ACE race. i never expected to come up that fast after my switch from PRO! this 2nd position wasn`t a present of anyone or was caused by DNF`s - i really had the pace to be up there and that makes me so happy! a big thank u to my team bracciano racing for giving me the opportunity to race here and to be as competitive as i am right now! we went through tough times this year and gave our answer on track, each and every time!
congrats to sebastian for his superb victory and also a big well done to klaus who had a nice comeback after his average qualifying...though i remember the race quite well i still hope that this time i didnt disturb anyone...
finally i want to say thank you to our sponsors TrackIR and 4Design which support us amazingly throughout the whole season... " | | | | | No items found. | | | | | "I was 7th in Q1, then I managed my best Q2 with 3rd place. Was an almost perfect lap to be honest.
Kept 3rd after the start. I did 2 stops, took the lead for a very short while before my first one, but lost out to Kaag who pitted later. Backmarkers were a real problem, lost a lot of time behind them and had some risky moments when they made mistakes in front of me several times, but in the end it didn't make a difference.
I had a rough batlte with Barbosa, after we went side by side through Eau Rouge, he squeezed me to the wall and I had to back off. Then when I was in his slipstream before Les Combes, he switched line at the last moment before braking and I almost ran into him, but managed to avoid him and pass through the outside.
In the end, I finished in 4th place. Lacked a little bit of pace to beat the podium finishers but I'm satisfied with my race, as I could fight again at the front. I reduced the gap in the championship but only by 2 points which aren't too useful." | | | | | "I had a terrible build up to the race, made a big error in the mid sector on my only traffic-free q1 lap and as I also had a grid penalty I had no chance of showing a true performance in the race.
It got even worse when my FF wasn't working on the formation lap, I ended up losing the car on a bump and having to start from the pit lane anyway, which gave me a chance to reset the FF but lose a lot of time. Finishing in 5th place at the end is a miracle, I lost so much time fighting through from last that I thought even a top 10 might be impossible." | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | "well starting qualify i decided to go with more fuel that normal for a 2 pit stop strategy because i knew i had a 10 grid penalty. I could reach to the 2 qualify and make the 6 position.
At the start i was able to pass some guys and then stay behing Kaag and try to keep him close but he was faster then me. I had a lot of dificult to get pass the backmarkers today.The second stint was similar to the first one i was running now behind Chris and we run in a pretty similar times, but i was pitting after him so in the second pit stop i went out of the pit just in front of Chris and need to defend of his attack because is tyres were in temp, probably i was a little to agressive in defend...sorry chris. I mantain my 4 place in front of Chris but my engine started to go away and i was losing at about 20 km in the straight,i try to defend to Chris but there was no possiblity to do it. 1 lap after that my engine blow.
Really sorry about it because i could do a great position. Hope next race goes better" | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | | | No items found. | | | |
