Congrats Mark and Andreas!

My apologies Mark. I had to check my replay to see exactly what I did wrong. I braked early as I thought I had done. When I saw you going slow and sliding wide, I tried to get inside. I was going too fast. Some warp when I made contact may have made things worse.

There was strange warp on lap 12 too, at Dr. Tiroch.

Mark was likely to beat me. Up to the point I wrecked him, I hadn't seen anything that made me think I could actually pass.

I waited for Mark after the wreck and after he pitted. I was trying to slow enough so he'd get within 2 seconds of me, so we could see if he could use the slipstream to catch me. Trying to keep the heat in my tires I didn't quite slow enough. I also was going to let him pass me at the end but Prib has a bug with this track. It listed one lap to go even after I finished.

The fans would have booed me on that one. It looked rather dirty but it wasn't intentional. Sorry for spoiling the late fun Mark.

Thanks guys.

Er, yeah.  That was unfortunate.  I was feeling fairly comfortable, but still pushing like mad while keeping an eye on the mirror.  Couldn't seem to break the tow at all.  Had a small slide into turn 4 lap 20, and Greg came in, but slid up the track towards me, the bump was enough to knock me over the fence.  I couldn't get back down to the track so had to do a reset, and a stop and go penalty.  Amazing how much slower the car felt with the full fuel in it again.
