This was my 1st ens of the year.
We arrived at the track for the Thursday practice. I spent most of the day running in new engines from max power after this we did a little chassis set up which I felt was a good direction.
Friday .


I was thinking only  about the chassis and to get a good balance on the high speed track.the car was ok but had slow lap times we changed a lot over the day and got down to some good lap times.
Qualifying day and we had rain delays but the track dried and it was going to be a late day with the planned 4 rounds. After the 4 runs I was 17th . Not quite what I wanted but still put me in the b final with a chance to bump up.


Sunday finals day.
The 20 minute final started and I made a few places and was in the mix until my tyre change which in hindsight I left too late and with the tyre wear I had too big a difference between left side and right side which lead to a difficult car to drive and fell back  to 5th.
All in all a little disappointed with the wrong tyre change timing but that's racing and you learn from it .


Thanks to De Baanbrekers club.
And my sponsors.
