I qualified 5th overall, only my pinion came off in round 3, meaning the run was useless. I decided not to change my rotor for the final, just to see if it would last. Even with a run-through-the-pit-lane stop-go penalty (as I didn't have to stop for a battery change), I finished 4th, only about 7 seconds off 3rd after 20 minutes.
With a combination of the new Tekin rotor, and (probably more importantly) the slipperential, I've finished my first ever final with the Tekin (all the rest have been DNFs). This is the best result I've had all season with the Electric, since my second meeting with a battery change, a Medusa motor, and an MMM.
