First a heads up to the NA guys:
The fuel estimation is still too optimistic. I had to carry fuel for 23 laps to be able to drive 20 laps.

I want tocongratulate everyone to a very well driven race. Too bad we were only 8 drivers due to some people having mismatch problems.

Now on to my race report. I think the headline would be something like:

"To crack under pressure" or "Oportunities wasted" because:
I was 2nd behind Drago after qualifying. In the race he quickly opened up a 5 second gap that was fairly constant through the firsat stint. We both pited on the same lap (L20) and here comes mistake nr 1: I missed my pit box and had to reverse back, lost at least 5 seconds

.

That left me with a gap to Drago of 15 seconds which was more or less the same through the whole 2nd stint. Now Drago pited one lap before me and here comes mistake nr 2: I thought that I had to push like crazy on this extra lap and try to gain a few seconds maybe. But trying to put in a good lap I spun instead.....bummer....

After 2nd pit stop I was 18 seconds behind Drago. I managed to close it down to around 14 before I start smelling melted rubber.....damn, my back tyres,,,hehe....had to stop go sideways through 4 apex T8.

After this I was trying to keep a good pace and 3 laps before the end I decided to make an effort to at least get fastest lap and this was my success for the evening: 1.25:590. New PB for me

Well, that's that. Ops....did I write all that....sry.....

In conclusion:
I was very impressed by your race Drago. No major mistakes at all. You are a worthy winner here. I think that we were more drivers that had good pace but we made more mistakes.

Great race all! Hope that we will be a few more next time! Monza, right? Wrooooooooooooooooom!

wow ...

was my 1st time doing 100% in a league ... just wanted to finish and I did so I am pretty happy with it!

you guy's better don't get used to that I allways offer you that much space when you lap me lol ... I know it cost's me to much time to do this but I was really just up today for a very safe race.

from now on I reduce the times I get laped and then it's time for get some good fights on track

fantastic that all have crossed finish! thumps up!!!

... have a nice day! ... have fun! ... I DO !!!

Hehe.....I was looking at the lap by lap graph in the stats.......judging from that it looks like a very uneventful race.

would be different if it would show who laped me and when he did lol

hahahaha

... have a nice day! ... have fun! ... I DO !!!

What to say, it was a nice race.
Killa, when you gained 2 or 3 sec in one time it as because i lifted accelerator because i thougth i was 4 wheels out of track and i wanted to be sure the lift would be noticed in replay(just in case

not to wast the win ).
Maybe the race could have been different if i was 2nd or 3rd at t1 first lap, because i notice i loose a lot of wings load being behind someone during practice.
But that didn't happen lol
Congrat to all and see you all at the temple of speed.

in the 1 curve split in 4 sequence (in middle of track) i was folowing brad at few meter, i lift off trottle a little cause i was not shure about the draft effect on my car in that curve, to make me loose grip. And yeah, i felt my car going wide a little, but i was prepared just in case. Later in race i had Brad right in my ass, i start to say... Oooo shit, hes going to loose it, lol and instead of .5 sec, at exit of the curve now he was 2.5 sec behind, i saw in mirror that he went wide

il watch the replay, but im shure its what hapend.

Yeah it was impossible to follow someone close in T8 with the 4 apex.....I couldn't do it at least.

And yes Drago, I was trying to get a good start to maybe squeeze infront in T1 but you had a very good start so that didn't work

i think it means you hit a cone or a post, no biggie m8

Don't worry, the "incidents" mentioned in the generated reports are not what admins use to evaluate your driving (although it can help us decide what/who to review in priority).

Basically, the game just reports all contacts you make with almost anything but the ground (sometimes it has multiple reports for the same hit). We have no control over what is reported as incidents, the game generates this itself and it is not configurable AFAIK.

In your case, it is contacts with a few posts and a cone...

well not that it matters with all the going wide and crossing pit exit line 1st time in pits LOL.
Must get me act together for next race.
