After the practice session, my qualifying time was not that good so I was quite surprised to see myself on the pole position and Erik in 2nd. Erik and I managed to pull away nicely at the start, but what caught me out was the way the tyres degraded in the latter stages of the stint, so I had dropped back a few positions when the first caution came out. At the first restart, I had a good run into T1-2 to pass Jeroen to take over the lead. I tried to be more cautious on my tyres and it paid off.
With some luck during the pit stops, I managed to stay in top3 for most of the race. My last stint was all about managing the tyres to keep up decent pace till the end, which worked out well in the end for me. I was very happy with the result
Good racing with Jeroen, Marian and Lisa who managed to catch up to me in the last laps
