So that was the reason why it felt too easy. That was my favorite spot to overtake so I knew, if I let you have first chicane, still have chance to fight back.
My race ... seems that we were all too late on brakes for T1.
I was behind Chris and plan was to go in T1 right behind him so when he braked and couldn`t make T1 for whatever reason, it affected me also. But, before I was able to take escape road, I was rear ended.
Not big hit but enough to have "weird" damage. It didn't affect top speed and car behavior, well at first, but rear tires went down too fast so exiting Parabolica was a nightmare after 3 or 4 laps. It was even worse after I "confirmed" my damage lap before pit stop so, initial pit stop plan without changing tires was no go.
Offline in same conditions, I was able to go 7 laps before Gussa`s app showed 99% grip and now I have 95% in 6th lap.
After pit it was boring as noone was close enough but, that "weird" damage strike again in very last lap in Parabolica.
Luckily didn't hit anything and had enough advantage to keep my place without sweat to the finish line.
btw @ Mark J - boxbox
http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/boxbox.7652/ is another nice app for cases like yours. It stay`s in background until lap that you need to pit and than
gives you warning and amount of fuel needed to finish the race ...
