Really fun race this time, glad to enjoy it again.
Spent a lot more time than usual practising, and it showed, qualifying P3
Had a average start, was rightfully cautious after last weeks nonsense, and somehow came out of the first couple of corners in P3! Then, I made the most ridiculous spin on the second fast corner, all by myself not under any pressure. I didn't really care at the time, I was just glad to have not taken anyone out of the race
Was about dead last, then began working my way back up - I never made it far as I had lost so much time, but I had a lot of fun nevertheless, I think the pressure was off and I was free to enjoy it.
At the end I was catching NFS for P5, and was pretty exciting getting visibly closer each lap, but alas we ran out of laps
To be fair, even though I was gaining I think I'd have struggled to pass, would have needed a mistake to get passed.
Also its a shame to see you go Jeff, I can't say I've had any problems with downshift protection myself - if anything, I'm glad its there. Hopefully you change your mind
