Total wash out. L1 Bastian lost his car, span across the track & wiped me out. Not blaming him but I ended up in the fence with 3 wheels his car conveniently stopped on the track. Lap 3 the screen froze for a second & when it came back I'm in the fence with 3 wheels.

yes i'm sorry for that :-[

I just drove once here with original GPL and was late by GPLRacer.
So i had to relearn the track and made many mistakes.

Great fun.

Pole Position, led from start to finish and had fastest lap until about 3 to go when Bastian put in some good ones.

I noticed most were flat over the jump but I always have a small lift so I'm clearly losing time there.

Luckily I only made 2 mistakes, one on a straight and got back on track before the braking zone and once when I missed a down shift at the hairpin and didn't get engine braking so ran wide. Nothing major other than a few caught slides and once I had a big lead I was able to take it easy through the kink and not make any more errors.

Not a very good race for me.

I did a good start and tried to put a maximum of pressure on Mike on the first lap but I did a mistake and was overtaken by Bastian and Dave C.

A few laps later, Bastian burnt his engine just after the jump and I was surprised, don't remember what I did except I went out of the track and lost a lot of time.

Then Dave C. spun at the exit of the chicane and to avoid him, again I went out of the track, lost a wheel and had to reset and make a stop and go.

Nice first win for Mike, after all these 3rd positions !

It's a pity we were only 6 at the start and 2 at the finish (Grats to Mike and Bastian)

Where was the local driver, Jean-François Bovy ?
Where was Gareth, Walter etc.  ?

Grats on your 3rd.

To be honest, the sticky Gras (ANGER) caught me and I hit a roadsign on full speed. The engine exploded afterwards....

From my replay it looks like the server lost you at that turn and it assumes you go straight which put you in the fence.

You did but I'm glad you were cautious in T1 and didn't make a lunge for it.

Yes, I was beginning to get bored of the third step. :)

Only my third Pole ever and my first win since returning after 5 or 6 years away so that's good.
