Love this track.

First part of the race only with some minor crashes caused by myself which yet enabled me to continue up to my pitstop.
Includes fuel and repair of damages but no change of dampers so I think I could save some seconds.
Second half of the race was very consistent and I was already happy to finish in 10th place when DeMartini just came up on the horizon after his pitstop in lap 12.

Then Cos lapped us an I was wondering about his slow pace. Does he have problems or is he short of fuel? Then his engine exploded right in front of us. Tough!

Due to a slight mistake by DeMartini I was able to close the gap and pass him. But he passed me again some seconds later.

The last lap then was pure fun. In DeMartini's slipstream I was able to pass him on the straight (that lap was the first and only time I could break the 240 km with nearly empty tank on the straight) but he had the better setup and/or is the better driver, so he could pass me again and finish 8th.

I didn't want to risk my finish so I didn't try some stupid things and felt happy with a lucky 9th place due to Cos's misfortune.

Again great fun.

Thanks to DeMartini - I remember we already had a similar thing at Bathurst. Over there with the better end for me and now the other way round. That's racing.
