: it can happen .
I was in the lead and lost connection .

At least did the pole with a nice 1:44.7

This was my first proper race online and it was a lot of fun.

I was really happy with my qualifying lap - I had to go onto the grass to avoid Dropkick just before the end of my lap, but I don't think that cost me more than a tenth so it didn't matter.

I got a good start in the race but still lost a place to Mark. Later I spun and lost my front wing so the repairs cost extra time and messed up my pit stop strategy.

I had a nice fight with Roadrunner to get back into 2nd place and then I just tried to be consistent for the rest of the race.

I feel sorry for Drago having to drop out due to connection problems, even if it did gain me a place. I hope it is more reliable for him at the next race.

Overall I enjoyed this race and was happy with the result.

Yeah i was on for a 3 stopper and i also knew i most likely would have had fastes pace with that in begin of race so i needed to overtake drago, at the start i lost a place after that gained them back and overtook drago and firefly. By mistake i lost it again so i settled for 2nd for a while and just stayed calm. Then drago had is disco, so after that it was just cruising for half of the race just to be save on brakes and engine, at last i finaly won the Spa race first time hehe, usual i dont finish here

this time i didnt do big mistake and was a clean race to finish.

No problem. Drago was 6 tenths faster than me during the qualifying anyway, and i probably only lost a tenth, so it didn't affect position at all.

i suspected Mark was on 3 stop , but here i think it could have worked against me this time.
I only would have like to know how mutch advantave i could have before my first pit that was planned on lap 17

; just to try to imagine what a race it could have been.
This could have been a great challenge Mark

. It was a pity .
Anyway , congrat to the winner and other who finished race ,and great first race for Firefly .
cu on track for next race

In testing i could do 46s in race and when you said you was in 47s i hoped to have a chance it definatly would have been close and firefly was pretty on pace as well, i just thought i screwed mine race again. When i both overtook you and firefly i was thinking i had some chances with mine 3 stop but then made a silly mistake again. Just sad about the disco, would have loved to fight it out on track. A well next time i guess

I had a nice running with one or other good fight for the positions. Place 3 is a good result for me.

Some words to Firefly! You are a very good driver, but if you lose some parts of your car and if you must go in to the pits, please dont cut the track. Its not allowed.

Well if a drivers is behind him, if cutting a track is the safest thing to do, the he MUST do it. Other than that, he may folow the track or the side of track. Rules say to be carefull to you and especialy others when you are damage. If he is alone and cut, this is not fun if its only to save time, but to save other driver accident with him, good then.
