I cannot deal with practicing, even only one day, getting ready for the race, changing plans in real life for this, only to not even make T1. think im going to race something a bit slower that will make better racing. Honestly, F1 cars are to fast now for CLEAN online racing, imho.
Brad, i just watch the replay, and you were just not lucky, contact occured in front of you, and you hit Bilbo in ass, and that made you go left and you crash me into the wall, or Bilbo did whil spuning cause of your contact. Anyway Bilbo was just trying to avoid 2 cars in front of him that just got clip by another one. Mario was the only one to spun and crash alone into the wall. I notice that Aaron and (Spyker) in back had lag, they were 2 cars distance and they contact with alot of distance between them (at least on my replay)...
It is same for me, i start 7th to climb up 3rd after few meters and got hit, lost front wing. My 1stop strategy was screw right there... L1, +21 second lost +time of crossing that long pit line. I was now last, with aaron in Pit. i got out in 10th position, almost lapped on Lap2. Mangage to get use to the setup and the track, i had the fingher on ESC and was angry, but still curious and hoping to get some points, 10th was not that bad with a 1 stop strategy.
But my nightmare was not over on the track that i dont realy like. After my 1st stop, i was in 7th at middle of race. Just when i pit out, i think i touch what could be called Exit pit line, unless their is no line... (probalby +20 penlaty right there). At that time, i also notice that i change my strategy to 1 stop, but forgot to change the amount of fuel for the second stop
so i dedice to keep hopping for a podium, what was still possible, fighting with Bilbo for the 5th place, with Paul in 4th. But no, little mistake, spun and started to be stuck behind SteveB, the leader, i was in is ass, not able to pass but same pace both of us. Juan behind in 2nd punch me a blue flag, he was still far behind, but i waited a little, and n the straight i had warning to move over, so end of straight i went wide to let him reatch me and pass, but
PENALITY for blue flag.@#$@#%!!!?! at that moment, all i could do is save my 6th position... had to pit in for fuel that i miscalculated and screw my 1 stop, and not only that, i had to make a driver trought to erase my penality. This made my race end up in 6th, with a 3 stop finaly!!! I needed 53 laps to figure out how to pace fast, my 3 last laps where in 1:35, but it was too late, il try to practice more next time
So without any crash and mistake on my second amount of fuel in car, i was for shure in position for a 3rd at least. But that was still availble cause i was not alone to get in accident at start, so with alot of IF, it is easy to say that IT was posible, but in my head, i was still hoping alot.
Maybe Brad you shoudl of keep racing instead of ESC, we could of share our frustration at end
you could of score some point and still try to get some fun out of this nightmare
cngratulaiton SteveB for you Win, and to all who finished. Mario? your too fast, and too fast in wall, lol (haha!je pouvais pas la manquer celle-la, escuse, elle est mechante
)
Cya at next one
Dot know in what car, but cya anyway.
Finally, congrats to all who finished, that was not the easiest track...
