New track for me too and after briefly trying to get a clear lap without incident I had given up on the idea of completing the required 50% quite surprised to get a 5th place finish though down to others misfortune and not my own brilliance .
Found it very difficult to get anything like the times those aliens were doing on the practise server so went with the borne beast so as not to throw away good points . Comes the race started at a leisurely pace and that was how it stayed , whenever I tried to push it along my tyres would quickly go to meltdown state and I would have to back off to let things cool down . Don't understand Pribluda's colour scheme , my tyres only seem to work when they are blue , any other shade and I lose grip like a fish on an iceberg ! according to the instruction book, the best traction is with green , but it doesnt seem the case with me .
Grats to the podium boys
Well done Mike too for a great Soggies result
Bring on Spa , I have been promised a Lotus drive there
