Once again, sub par for me.
During the practice session before the race everything was fine. But I could find my pace in the qualifying at all in the first attempt and during my second attempt it started drizzling. So I started from P19 I think.
Race start - a huge mashup of spins and accidents in front of me which put me in P11 pretty soon and I was kinda happy. Until it started to rain. My first stop wasn't a problem at all, even though I had to stay out a lap longer than intended due to occupied pits.
I tried to find my place, was sometimes in P9, then back to P11 and vice versa.
Ultimately, I tried to make a 1-stopper, which wouldn't work out in the end due to my front tires being shredded from a spin or two. I just realized it way too late that I would have to pit once again. When I came out of the pits, I found myself chasing @rillo7105 gaining nearly a second per lap, but it wasn't enough - the race was three or four laps too short.
If I would have pitted earlier, the result might have been better because I lost way too much time fighting with my worn tires and horrible understeer instead of fighting my opponents.
