Remember all - If in any doubt - Just brake early!! Any late braking banzai heroics is just going to result in contact or you bouncing over the big kerbs into a spin. Let the guy ahead outbrake himself then you can nip through at the chicane Easier said than done I know, in the heat of battle. |

In before MJ takes out half the field because he didn't follow his own advice  |

Yes, Sir! Surely Sir!  My tactic : I will do my first light braking attempt at 200m marker. If guys around me is adequate- we are all going throught chicane at speed 20-30-40km\h. Each guy follows his trackside in chicane. If no- and if i am in left side- i doing to mass cut whole chicane with a clear conscience . May be i'll return position to leader If i am on the right side - i dont know what to do . May be use  ,helicopter ,  or meditation |

Don't think too much on it, don't want to nanny anyone's race, can prob ignore most of my posts lately as work is slowly destroying me into lethargy :'( just wanted to sow some seeds of caution into people's heads. Good luck all, see you in Monza park |

sorry to whoever I hit at the first corner, I made a good start, overtook a couple of cars and was looking in my mirror to see how close the car behind was and missed my braking point

Unlucky race for me. Sometimes in official race sessions i have very slippery track. I Dont know why. May be my ping and amount of pilots on track depends. FFB going less and softer too.. So, I had a lucky start and up to 3 pos in 1st or 2nd lap. It was small battle ( as usuaaly) with Michael Boylan. Thanks! But 2 hits the wall ruined my race.. AAAAnd... Mark. Sorry but why it was 16 laps race? Official 1st post ( and my prerace prac ) was 15... Only in half race gone i see my fuel deficite via indicators red! And begun "save fuel procedure".. I know- it's my own problem, but please be more accurate here- if any changes- please TYPE in chat before the race . And in the forum please. Congratulations to podium! Thans guys for the race! See you all in Spa! |

Hi guys, a right mess at the first corner, easily done at this track. Luckily I picked my through the carnage and got away with Simon. Kept on getting away then making a mistake and then getting caught up again. Thought NFSW was going to catch us both with much better pace but Simon did a sterling job in holding his progress. Managed to get to the finish..... Just! Thanks guys, it was fun

Pretty much a race to forget  Had a pretty good start up on nfsw inside, never saw that car coming at us at T1. Came out last with the car pretty busted, right side showed red damage, frontglass broken. Thought I have some fights in the rear with a handicapped car but the driving felt really bad. Braking went from "standing still 20 meters before a turn" to "flying completely wide into a corner". Also had some huge loss of top speed which made for a few interesting fights, but decided to pit after 12 laps or so to stop me from causing anymore damage. Oh well, still enough points to be 1st in the championship |
