Race #4: Tondela / Portugal
Another track with some tight turns, practice finds Valdes posting the 17th best time, and Dembele the 19th. Both are almost five seconds slower than Tanvier Jha who had the fastest time.

Dembele starts in 3rd, and Valdes in 5th. Within five laps they are back in the familiar 20th and 18th positions. Dembele pits on lap five, and again on lap six after a collision with Jean-Pierre Gerarrd knocks off her rear wing. Valdes slowly works his way through the field over the next 27 laps to finish in 13th. Dembele manages to finish the race, but the back to back pit stops are far too much to overcome and she ends up last in 20th spot.

After the race, Dembele asks for her mechanic to be fired. Dembele isn't that good, neither is her mechanic. So, for the heck of it, I give the mechanic the boot.
