Just got done watching it. Good race, and nice recovery given your brake pedal and rear bumper issue. Well deserved. And the coverage for you guys, T2, was awesome. Looked like the T3 cars were grid behind T2, but it seemed that T2 got all the coverage.

All the cars on the track were T2. Someone else asked me about the bumping incident so ill post that answer below.
1. going into the kink I had soft brakes and instead of getting off the brakes at the 1 marker I dragged them to slow down in order to make the kink-actually on the brakes nearly until I was at the apex. After that I started pumping my brakes so they would be there when I needed them again.
2. being slow in the kink due to the soft brake issue, I knew Jason would get a good run on me so I was ready to protect so after hitting the outside (left) curbing (which is the line), I drifted out to the right inside curbing (which is the line) thus breaking Jasons momentum. (rules allow 1 defensive move and going in front of him would count since he had a run on me)
3. From that point on, I wasnt concerned with Jason and I took my normal line which is a sweeping turn letting the track come to you and away as I reached the various apexes.
4. Once the track straightened out for the brake zone I got on the brakes when the pedal went to the floor and the car darted slightly to the right.
5. I pumped the brakes once again where I got maybe 10% pedal back and immediately went into survival mode by down shifting and turning in towards the corner to scrub some speed, hoping to save he car and my chance at the championship.
6. Once slowed enough I tried to downshift to get going but I missed the gear and the car bogged. I quickly shifted to the correct gear when I was hit in the backt
7. Turned out I had a leaking caliper but was able to adjust and get through the race.
Thanks Marty
