There isn't too much to say about this weekend. I'm writing this while a bit frustrated, as it seems I can't get past a weekend without some trouble happening with my car.Posted by Administrator
It is the 3rd weekend in a row I've lost a podium position due to some technical failure so its disappointing this weekend...
I started off the race well and was able to hold on to 6th position after the first 20 min, and most importantly , stay with the pack.
My stint was pretty good, but my tires dropped off alot and I struggled a bit with the car, however, my pace still managed to be good and I came in for the first pit stop.
My team mate Holzer drove a strong stint and was able to overtake a few cars.. Because cars were all running different strategies and some cars pit early, we were in P1 for about 20 minutes but we were realisticly fighting for P2.
It became clear as the stint went on that we had P2 in our grasp but it came down to the final mandatory pitstop where Marco came out of the car and I would go back in. The driver change went perfect and I was ready to go in about 10 seconds. I push the start button to get the car started and leave the pit, but the car wouldn't start...
We lost 1 lap which we later found out was caused by an alternator problem which destroyed our battery... We finished the race in P11. Another podium finish lost....
Next race is Zolder in Belgium..
