A good couple of races yesterday at Watkins Glen with the Tattus PM-18 in rF2.

I eventually warmed up to the idea of getting into the Tattus sit. Watkins Glen is always a very tempting track to drive and I hadn't scheduled any other races yesterday. Arrived with less than an hour left into the practice session and had tons of things to try to improve my times, eventually managing a decent top spot in the practice session as Ricardo and Denis hadn't exercised their muscles yet...
Qualys were not great in either session so had to start on the attack in both races.

Race 1 was quite intense and full of action. The start was terrible and I was overtaken by a few drivers. Ken Jagger got in front of me in the first turns and was keeping a good pace although I was catching. I got parallel to Ken at the Heel and we touched in the right turn... I went out of track and hit the wall with some aero damage. My Crew chief suggested getting in to sort it out but, despite the reduced pace, I thought that having only lost two places and with a slight margin on 7th behind, I rather stayed for a couple of laps to check if I could keep up. To my surprise, after a bit of adaptation, I was getting closer to Ken again. We both overtook Michal (that might have had a problem as he was much slower than earlier in the race). I was pressing Ken hard and I suppose grip was reducing. There were a few moments for both of us but one more definitive for Ken that lost his car at the exit of T10. I had got 4 secs advantage and was cruising to the end when Kostas came from nowhere and I had to push hard the last couple of laps to keep a lucky P3.

Race 2 started great, from P6 to P3 after a ms reaction time at the start. This was followed by a hard chase from Michal that I managed to contain all the way to the end. Congrats on the pressure. It kept the race intense the whole way.

Hope you enjoy the videos of the races.
