Hello again.
I want to say a few words now since i could not do last night.
Firstly i want to say that,indeed i wasnt expected a podium not to mention a win and i only had a pair of headphones,no mic atached,because my old headset had broken 2 days before the race and knowing i am not so fast to be in top 3 i didnt thought i will need a mic set.
My mistake and i apologize for this.I promise it will not happend again,either if i am in the podium or not.

Qualy:
------
After all that practice on a different track and ambiant temperature,in qualy i had a bit of withdraw from pushing the car the way that i should of done.I had a safe pace in a way that made me lose alot in 2nd sector,but in the end i was glad to be in top 3.
Race:
------
I was a bit nervous at the grid just before the warmup lap start.Seeing myself in 3rd wasnt a picture i imagined before the race.
A few scenarios was hovering in to my head while the warmup laps were geting to an end,but i had a positive attitude.
Green flag and off we go,trying to keep the gap close from Robin,i had a litle powerslide at the verry first corner,where i were allmost in a dangerous situation,but i managed to keep the calm and move on.I sow the great fight for the lead betwing Ben and Robin,gaining distance in the same time,but i didnt pushed to hard because of the tires,i was afraid i will lose it,and just adopted a pace for a few laps,then soon as i felt confident in the behavior of the car i increased the speed.
gaining some time and closeing the gap with Ben,were had some problem with grip as i come close enough for applying pressure,that in the end made him to have a minor mistake,enough for me to overtake.
On that moment i felt like i realy have a good chance for a podium,but the things just got better closeing the gap to Robin to a bumper distance,and just when i was makeing my strategy i sow him pitting.
That made me think that many will make 2 pitstop and that was another momment were i felt like i will actualy win this race.
I started the race with wet tires compound and aiming for about 30 laps stint and 1 pitstop strategy who actualy was the winner,because i wasnt fast enough in wets when the track got dry on the raceing line.
I had to use the wet parts of the track were it was possible,to maintain the temperature in tires,who gave me some goosebumps for a few times,going off track and loosing the grip under brakeing,but that worked well.
The big gap advantage from pitting just 1 time made this possible,because Jesper was closing the gap bit by bit,that showed how bad the tires were doing for me.From a gap of 34 seconds i think to only 15 after the finish in 27 laps,that was awesome from Jesper not to mention the position he start from,grats indeed.
I dont know if i will see this performance again from me or even a podium but now i am just happy for team results,and i will try to do my best on upcoming events that i will participate in.
After watching the replay of broadcast,i sow what i missed and i must say it was a demanding race,close fights alot of overtakes and some ugly slides and spins,but that all is part of raceing and we take it as it is.
This had been said,i hope i wash my sins of not saying a few words when i should of had,sorry again and i would like to thank you to WBR team who pushed me back on track,since i was a disaster at my former team MotorAG.
And not in the last place verry nice coments from our race commentators.
Thank you all and see u soon,bye.
