Congrats John and Bastian!
My apologies to everybody. I'm the one that started all the chaos at the end of lap 1. Add a slight mistake from Andreas, and we got a real disaster. I did better than I thought I had. I thought I might have clipped John as he passed but I didn't. It's good to see that Clive slipped by just before Andreas's car could roll back into him.
It looks like I finally have my new computer running GPL 60fps well. I was getting video tearing when I joined the server. I went ahead and ran one stint. I'm glad I was able go offline and find the gpu setting that needed to be changed. It looks like I might be able to enjoy some driving at 60fps now. GPL and my hardware has been annoying me for several months to a year or two.
I thought Tristan was driving better than I was. I don't know how to make the Brabham go as fast as he did in qualifying. I thought the only reason I might beat him was my excellent car. It was nice to drive the Lotus. I don't get many opportunities to drive it and it would get boring to run away from the field more than occasionally. I had it moving good late in the race. I wish we'd have had one more lap. I had enough fuel for one more lap. That might have got me a new PB.
You guys are good gentlemen. You all showed good discipline while being lapped. A lot of you actually did more than you needed to let me lap you. It looked like Dean and Dave C did far more than they needed to do. With Tristan out of the race, I had every intention of being patient while lapping. Thanks Jack for leaving me some room at Moss. I was trying to hold the car beside the curb on the right. I slid across to the left side exiting Moss. That was the only time I made a mistake when lapping. Pepe might have thought he was driving brilliantly at one point. He was keeping up with me when I slowed late in the race to let Andreas and Clive finish without me interfering. Sorry about that spin in front of you. I lost my rhythm when I slowed.
I can't say I drove well. I spun 4 times and I went off the track twice. Tristan should have beat me.
As it was I messed up all on my own, bottoming out through the dip just before Moss and stuck it in the barrier.
I wondered what you were doing. I thought, "don't drive off the track for me". Eventually, I'd have probably beat you down the back straight.
Thanks for letting me race with you guys.
