just strange , dont know really as i looked to have good enough consistent pace and a couple of options to aim for 4th realistically with a 2 stop and i had practiced it a lot too. Running around near the back on the first stint was fine as i could get 20 21 laps on my tires at 2.23 1.22 if i didnt push really hard , after everyone stopped around lap 15 i was guessing everyone would be doing 3 stops and me 2 stops also i would have an extra 6 laps without the bug ,and i could still push after my pitstop with mediums and knew i could still do 1.23 1.24 that others would be doing and everyone else would be pushing on softs after their first stops and also the tyres i knew wore out so much quicker after the first stint . Also i was sure it would rain a bit, as in all the practice races i have done with only 20% weather it always rained for 10 laps and helped the tyres to go a bit longer so i thought i would be ok. But i made 2 stupid mistakes on my second stint and spun, just lack of concentration as trying to lap at 1.23 1.24 , and i guess they cost me 30 seconds in total , and may have meant my tyres wore out even quicker. so i still expected to be in 4th or close to it when the midfield stopped for their 2nd stops , but just about moved up to 5th , then i realised that i was going to be running out of tyres near the end , so decision time , either push and pit for softs or back off even more and make them last , and i made the wrong choice by keeping going, and ran out of tyre with 3 laps to go , so had to pit anyway , so bad judgement on my part really .
I'll a little shocked to beat you, think I pitted around lap 12 or 11.
Pit cost me alot of time really, think filling the car back up may of had something to do with it lol.
Then the mistake with the full fuel was just going to show, how bad of a mistake it really was.
Lap times dropped from 1:21/22 to 1:24/25
Car was a real pig to drive, at least 2nd pit stop It not need refilling
Less fuel new RS tyres on, car heart came back.
But also did the fact on it was going to be hard to finish the race, with just one more pit stop!
Had to pit on lap 45, it was going to be tyres or fuel.
So that gave me 13 laps left
Stuck to RS and but I little more fuel in than needed.
Start of last lap front right only 3 bars left, fuel well that was ok.
Caught up with Ekke and qpirili doing there yeah we won and finished tour of the track.
On start of bends 2, 3 and 4.
True blue I think got them on the fast staight.
Braking for the slow right of the back staight I had to give to early.
This saw Ture blue right up my back side, with well 3 turns left
Gave blue no way past on the left really slowed him down.
Now just the right and left for the straight, I know blue was thinking I'll have him on the straight.
Dam car was now pulling right with right tyre on it way out.
Looked back and there true blue trying to get speed on the green stuff
If not for the 1st pit stop error I may of got 4th, but if everyone race went right.
Then I may of got 10th, who knows well I got 5th
