I only just noticed that I forgot to set the server for practise.

The server is now running.

Good fun that, finally. Not sure how nsfast jumped ahead so far after pits stops ??? This week definitely suited me!

Not sure what happened to apex(?), he seemed to be driving well, was getting away from me as I was getting away from third-place early on...
Then round about pitstop time, he disappeared from the game so I don't know what happened but it took the pressure off me (I had been driving very carefully to a very conservative plan) and I was able to just relax and have some fun, going for the fastest lap in the 2nd half. Had one major spin, losing nearly all my comfort zone over NSFast, meaning I had to drive smart again for the last few laps.

Unlucky Apex, I think you were surely fast enough for at least 2nd this week ;) ;) ;)
Very frustrating, at least there is a "drop week" in the championship.

thanks legzy ...... I did feel that 2nd was possible!  i have to keep learning from my mistakes!

The only position you were going to finish this week was 1st!
Nobody was going to even be close! :notworthy:

Very unlucky.
