O well in Q craig putted in a fast lap, realy fast lap and i knew how late it was so quickly changed into saving all the points you can mode.
Anyway got p2 on the grid after a decent lap for me, at start things got a bit complicated, there was some bad lag in the first 2 laps with the game sync and cars apearing disapearing, so at some parts i went off line in the hope i wouldnt hit other cars or cars wouldnt jump into me. Mr G retired and i hope i didnt hit him, i think he got close to me one time so dont know realy. After some laps it settled down and damage was done by Jools and G retiring dont know if this was caused by lag or other reason. But after 3 laps i was down 10 secs on 3th place and started to chase down. When i finaly reached Kaffe he retired for some reasons,... you got afraid ?? Anyway after that chasing down Natox for 2nd and when i had to make my first stop i noticed that my enigne life was down to 50% after 20 laps,... you do the math if i kept going on like that i wouldnt reach the finish so i went into saving engine mode and that was pretty much it,.. just made the finish with 2% engine life left so i guess 3th place was best possible today.Grats to Craig for another win.
i accidentaly drove into the wall a few times (yes, more driving into them than crashing into them) and the car got some damage and was sliding all over the place...so i just overdrove to try and keep up with craig for as long as i could and eventually the damage led to hot rear tyres and a retirement, first crash of the year - whoa! 
I considered pitting early as it was pretty hard to drive, but in the end I decided to try to live with it and get it fixed during my first proper pit stop.
I was actually quite impressed with how the balance of the car was affected by the contact (impressed with the physics), but I really don't think the very slight contact I had would've affected the car at all in real life (it was side-on contact between the tyre side wall and the barrier). Again I think the damage sensitivity is unrealistic.
