The race weekend started well as I was fastest straight out of the box in practise with a time of 34.081 after the mandatory 10 laps.
I was a tad faster in qualifying and managed to claim pole position with a time of 33.982.
The 50 lap race followed a similar pattern to the previous 2 or 3. From the dropping of the flag I led for 10 laps before slotting to second with the intention of sitting there until the last few laps when I would make my move. The plan was going well as I hit the front on lap 41. Disaster struck on lap 45 when I got for the first ever the "Fuel Extremely Low" message. I tried to ride out the remaining 5 laps by cutting down on the speed but to no avail as the car stopped on lap 48. I finished last!
My best lap of the race was a 33.804 which was my fastest of the race weekend.
I was 18th in the standings - still 8 places higher than the previous season.
