It's going OK now, good feeling to drive. Sadly Carlos won us by a second because we lost some time passing Colin, I had to slow down, it happened on the narrow section.

It's not a particularly tricky place. It was just so slippery that there was nothing to do. Usually we have the needed spare parts but now we didn't have them. We would have had to do drive 70 km before the next service so retirement was the only option. It's a bummer since I was just getting up to pace.
