Montreal

Week 6 Montreal

So! Finaly we are in Canada, this is a race I have realy been looking forward to. And this track did not dissapoint! What a fantastic circuit to drive a car like this on! I love the feeling when you find traction out of the more slipery corners. Amazing fun!

And I was fast here! Best qualifying yet! I started at P2!! Can you belive it? 

The nerves started to do their work on me as soon as I placed the car on the grid. I had been practicing starts but I realy didnt get the car going off the line here. But luck was finaly on my side and I had a fantastic start!!

By T2 I was clearly in the lead!

After two laps I was about six seconds into the lead.

The feeling of having a clear track infront of me was amazing! But man did it put its toll on me! Adrenalin was pumping! My right foot was shaking like mad, I had big trouble getting everything right.

Then on lap 13 we came up on laped trafic, I went on the left side of the track to overtake in T5.

I had never taken this line in this turn. And to my surprise I could not see my breaking spot, something I noticed way to late and went straight off the track!

Luckily I was quick getting back on the track. But that was just about all the luck I had here.. I was probably panicking a bit, hoping I had a clear track and that Shane had taken the left side of the track I went back on the track.. He had not gone left seeing me coming back on track... And I slamed into him damaging he's car badly.

My car seemed fine though and I could continue close to my old pace. Saturo Ohno was closing in fast.

I protected the inside line going into the last chicane.

But Sature went alot quicker through it than I anticipated and we colided in the last turn.

This time I had the shorter end of the stick.

I had some rear wing damage and lost about one second per lap. This meant Bruno Pichette could close in on me.

He got me in the hairpin.

But I managed to utilize the drag and get up side by side and out breaked him going into the chicane.

And same thing again! Two or three laps in a row!

 We where runing close for about 5-10 laps or so.

Then Bruno slammed into the wall out of T3

He's car was to damaged and he had to abort the race. A sad way to end a great battle but it was alot of fun while it lasted! Realy clean racing from both ends. Thank you Bruno!

Now I just cruised to the finishing line taking second place second week in a row!

What a fantastic race! I had alot of fun here. And again Shaun, I'm sorry about taking you out. It was a stupid move from my part.


Now I'm looking forward to Interlagos! Another amazing legendary track!

See you in Brazil!
