That was one hell of a race! I noticed that my wheel was not centered properly and I was also getting random inputs that made the car turn suddenly to the side, especially towards the right. It made driving close to anyone else quite dangerous, but even as I was going on my own, it would often send me towards the grass, which was a problem when it happened under braking before corners.
Although I had good pace, all those issues translated into a lack of consistency and confidence in the car. In addition to that, Daz was much quicker in the race than he was in qualifying, so with the aid of slipstream, it was almost impossible to escape for too long.
We had countless exchanges of position, as he mentioned, and some mistakes by both of us put us within striking distance of Dimitar and Erling as well.
Eventually it was back to just the two of us battling it out for the victory, but unfortunately it all ended in tears on the last lap when we tried to go side by side into the chicane. Then I thought Dimitar would be very late under braking for the stadium and went off on my own, gifting him 3rd place.
Now the chance for winning the championship is almost gone, but I have only myself to blame, for not quitting the game in practice and resetting my steering wheel.
Congrats to Daz for the win and Dimitar for 2nd!
