I no longer race

Winner: No.19 JP · de Oliveira (Mobil 1 TEAM IMPUL)
It was not race anymore. But was not up to protect the top and it could start off well, then I was able to push hard from the very advantage that no one in front. Visibility was good minutes than other drivers, I was able to push more. Utilizing such advantages to pull away further, we could build a big gap. It was a very good car balance. It is a very good rain, the dry setup, except ride height has not changed too much. But just before the start, the team wants to request a little more downforce. I had to do it in about seven minutes before Fomeshonsutato, great show. You could feel the car very good on lap while driving, because we had really grip at corner exit at the entrance. So we can have confidence. Of pit stops, trying to do something like this becomes the first race and, even though most were a little worried, I do well.

2nd No.10 Tsukagoshi huge place / win No.19 JP · de Oliveira / 3rd No.36 ranked Andre Lotterer
