What a great race again
.
For a few minutes I had pole, but then people started to overtake me and I dropped down to 4th. Flavus gave me his 3rd position, if that was because of last race, then you shouldn't have, that was already way behind us. Or maybe it was because of something else.
Me, Alfrance and nfsw were able to pull a bit of a gap towards the rest from the start of the race. At first it looked Alfrance would drive off into the distance, but we were able to hold on to him. I had a feeling I could go a bit quicker in some parts, but I lost time in some importane corners, so I could never attack. Then the BMW went wide and we were promoted 1st and second. Before that, fmg had also joined the fight and we had some great side by side action. At some point I was considering letting him past, as he was faster, so I was hoping he would then attack nfsw and I would benefit from that.
I didn't have any special strategy as I didn't want more weight at the start. I added 94L which was way more than I saw everybody else add, but I only finished with 1 lap of fuel, so I wasn't that royal with the fuel (6,8L per lap).
Came out of the pits around 4 seconds behind nfsw, who went very long on his first stint. I was worried he would go for the softs in his 2nd stint, but I saw he picked the mediums again. I was slowly able to close the gap to him, but I was never able to try anything if he didn't make a mistake and we finished within half a second I think.
Time really flew by and eventhough these cars have been done a million times, they are always a good formula

Amazing punctuality on the server BTW, it started at exactly 20:00

If someone can explain how I was disqualified and kinked from the race for not pitting - after having pitted around 5 minutes earlier (and put the wrong tyres on!) please do
Did you go in 1 lap too early? I went in as soon as possible and I think you were already gone behind me at that time?
I had been having a great race with Jeffers, who somehow managed to keep me behind despite clearly having a less than ideal car.
Yes, was good fun. I was driving quite safe as this track has some punishing corners, but when you attacked I took a bit more risk in the corners, which gave me just enough on the exits. If you have setup tips on how to make my car more ideal
? And don't say, take out the weight
