I am very, very happy to once again achieve the feat of finishing 1st at the Nordschleifs !!! and in front of great drivers.
Breathtaking and incredible the qualifying time of Mr Steini !!!
But during practice I realized that in race configuration, Mr Steini was slower than me, by a second or two. All was not lost
so I said to myself "and why not".
MY RACE:
In the first lap we were wheel in wheel, I knew that we needed a lead of one second to avoid the suction in the straights
what happened in the long straight, Mr. Steini took over the first place, but I knew I would do the same in the pit straight
So at the start of the 2nd lap I got back in the lead, and I saw Mr. Steini attacking behind, (too much maybe), and he lost control in a turn. Mr. Fin was 4 seconds away! Phew, I was much more relaxed
I left with (78 liters), (6 laps), (inter slick tires at the front, and slick tires at the rear)
Given my lead, at the Pits, I changed everything. At the back they were still good, but I didn't want to take any risks.
On the 12th lap, several small mistakes, without gravity, I was distracted by the messages of encouragement from different pilots, whom I thank, of course !!!
And especially my friend **** JB **** !!!!!!
Thank you for this great challenge
