Looking to improve on a good race the night before I again gained another 0.26 SR, so thats at least 0.50 gained in 2 races
Started 14th, finished 11th with only 2 incidents.
Decided to try Sebring out in the skippys.
I knew the track well from driving it in the 1st week of the new season in Radical.
Was running 5th in the skippys halfway through race till my pc seem to have restarted

Started last on the grid in 16th, which isnt always a bad place to start to avoid lot of incidents.
After 1st couple of laps made my way up to 13th, then on last 2 laps i Managed to grab 10th place!
Had a couple of incidents mainly grass here and there, but only managed to lose -0.11 SR, to put me on 4.41 SR.
