Nice couple of races yesterday at Sebring with the Tattus PM18 in Assetto Corsa (SRO).

Arrived late in the server without having tested the car in Sebring. Used the Watkins' setup for qualy (only managing P8) and first race after adding an extra 6 litres of fuel that I actually didn't need. It was obvious later, during the race, that I had too little wing and too much fuel. This didn't help on the first race as I was a notch slower than Kostas, Michal and Ken.
Incidents in their races (for Michal and Ken) allowed me to climb to 4th, even 3rd for a while as Ricardo had done his DT... But when I got him back on my tail I didn't even put any efforts to defend... Such a fantastic pace!
It was different when Ken caught on me. Also with great pace but I thought I could hold this time. Coming into the final lap, he completed a great overtake relegating me to 5th position and a lap only to recover P4. I put all the pressure I could when approaching the hairpin and forced a defense action from Ken that I could exploit to overtake... That was pretty satisfying although Ken had the pace to claim P4 had he not had a few mistakes earlier in the race. It worked well for me.

Having seen how lively was the rear of the Tattus during the first race, I added a bit of wing and removed the extra 6 liters. It worked well in the second qualy (P5) and race.
Holding again Ken in the first few turns (great starts from Ken in this series), we were soon split in the two front groups: Ricardo and Denis upfront (in a different race altogether), and Kostas, Michal, and I in a second group...
With much more confidence in the setup, I maximised gains from Michal's and Kostas' slight mistakes and secured P3 after an intense first part of the race. The second half was about managing the distance as there was nothing I could do to close the gap with Denis.
All in all, two good races and much fun.
Enjoy!
