Thanks.
Phew, I had butterflies all the way through.
I might have done the pre-race gathering lap (whaddayacallit) a little slow, I thought it better then the other way around. Wasn't sure how fast it should be done, but I have a feeling engaging the pit limiter halfway down the back straight might have been a little excessive
I got away good and saw Madd-RIP and Baracus fight for position, which was really good news for me!
Some laps down Bara started to close in and I was getting worried for a bit. He didn't know my secret weapon though! I had his Alfa settings from a Silverstone race a while ago, and they worked like a charm
He pushed me to my best lap of the race, but then he disappeared, and I was scared I had caused something or that there was a mandatory pitstop I had forgotten about. Analyzer shows the gap was down to 0.7 seconds at one point, but my pitboard kept jumping from 13 to 17 to 19 to 13 seconds gap to 2nd. Bloody unreliable it is.
A couple times the game sort of froze for a fraction of a second, and I hope I wasn't lagging, and I especially hope that I did not leave a stationary car for Bara to hit, like I've seen happen to others in public servers? My fps never went below 42, so I think that should have been enough?
Anyway, I sure am happy with the race result, should it have come without incidents caused by lag.
I'm flying high among the clouds right now, but I am looking forward to being violently returned to the ground next time I race aliens
I think there'll be a :pop: sound.
