Race one
With a mix of wet and intermediate tires we had ok grip in the race, but not more then ok.
And when we chased 10 place the guys ahead of us spun and we could not avoid them,
a small collision and we started to chase from 17th spot, 14 over the line and cracked fairing that needed fixing.
New try for the monday race.
Warmup
Well this morning we woke up to English weather, cloudy and a bit of rain.
That always makes tyre choise a bit harder but we choose to go for wets as
they needed scrubbing in.
The track was a bit drier then wets so a good pace without destroying the tires
gaves us 13th place.
It looks like is will be quite dry and we race late in the afternoon,
so stay tuned and have look at this photo from the warm up.
Qualifying
Q1 started a bit hectic with 2 bikes going of at paddock hill bend.
A short redflag and then we where of trying to find rhythm and heat in the tires. Towards the end times started to come down, ended with a few 49s.
