Well overall the race was a disappointment, which is a shame as I had high hopes. I didn’t realize it was raining in qualifying and I went straight out on soft slicks. I went back into the garage to change tires and adjust for wet but it was set to STCC rules so I had to start last. From starting in 24th place i had made it up to P16 when it was time to do my pit stop. Auto pit didn’t work on that track so I was unable to take on fuel and change tyres so had to quit. A great shame as I was hoping to make up more places in the 2nd half of the race. My co driver Nick had a worse race as he was told to change his profile name a fe minutes before qualification. In doing so he lost all his setting for his wheel and this meant he had very little response from his wheel. He didn’t finish the race.
The positives I can take from the race are that the Seat GT has good speed and my lap times were a lot closer to the other guys than any previous season of the STC. Hopefully things will improve for race 2. Why they gad is set to dry during practice, wet on qualification then dry again on warm up and race is beyond me.
