Oh what a fun race! Started with that interesting quali where me plux and memto were fighting for position for most of it.. probably stupid but I thought I could get a slipstream from plux to get a good laptime. The last lap we did felt pretty good but spun out so never got to see the time.
Anyway, got 6th from that and then the fun started. On the formation lap I was listening too much to Matt and chorley and got caught out by the braking in to the first mulsanne chicane, real sorry about that Hansen. The start seemed to surprise most of us since it came so early but I kept my position and had a good fight for a couple of laps. Then everyone started to pull away. Memto and adrian had accidents and I guess FILO pitted early or something so suddenly I was in third. And this is where the fun began. Went too tight in to the first mulsanne chicane and touched the barrier. Apparently it sticks out more than you'd think because I came to a complete stop and had massive engine damage. Lost down to 6th again but wasn't too far off yet. Then next lap after repairing damage ayrtonschumi comes up to lap me, and does it in to arnage, in my attempt to give him room i run out too wide and touch the sand and get a big slide damaging both.
After that it was just about finishing, motivation was really low and kept crashing for no reason. And to add some salt to the wounds the rain came on the last lap and made me lose another 3 minutes on the guys in front.
No problem Nico
We where both able to continue without pitting 👍
