    I wrote the following four years ago about the same track/mod combo
    and guess what, it still feels the same :mad::D Maybe this time I'll find out how to solve it.

    I know that the last turn does not look like a Bus Stop anymore, but if I am not mistaken the last two turns are still called Bus Stop :D

    Anyway, I struggled there a lot four years ago but less this time. Probably not a set up thing and more how you approach it. In the end I am not fully satisfied because I could not keep a with you and Kostas. On the other hand I got lucky because some others had bad luck and Kai did a very good job on keeping Phil busy. Otherwise it would be a different outcome. So congrats to the podium finishers and lets see what Monza has for us.

    Black day for my teammates and me.

    Björns wheel fuxxxd up and he had to retire.
    Michael and me did a good race without big mistakes but no pace.
    We are a bit desperate about the setup, think we must rethink everything.

    Grats to the podium and thanks to Scott for the thrill, very good fight mate!
    CU at Monza

    I can't explain it but I wish it would happen on more occasions, but it was like all the planets aligned in my favour tonight and once we started Qualifying the setup I had been practising with just came alive and with lower fuel I gained 2.5 secs. Maybe the feel of the car on lower fuel helped my confidence I don't know, but with race fuel the car felt great all the way through the race. I had no brake lock-ups, running wide moments, back end sliding on me etc, etc, all the usual rF2 problems.
    Despite Kostas running within 1 sec for most of the race, I was able to confidently drive the car without expecting it to bite me at any moment. If only it was like that for more races :D

    In the practice session, I was not doing very well, but the first lap of qualifying was already victorious, to my surprise. The laps were not outstanding, with mistakes, and the times were pretty good. It had to be the alignment of the Ken planets. I took advantage of the good thing a bit. :)
    What happened to Phil?
    The race was under control, except for the first corner where the car didn't turn and I pushed Ken a bit off the track.:(
    Successful comeback after a six-month break from racing. Thanks for competing and see you in the next race.
