Did myself no favours here by practising on the full layout, whoops....
Then, could get nowhere near the stellar laps Geoffers was doing in quali, the gap was a rather worrying 1.6 seconds I think
. However, I did some late tweaks that made the car corner rather better, and changed the gearing down so it was a little sharper around the lap, just didn't get to set a time. It still would have been a good bit off the pace Geoffers was setting though
.
Got a good jump off the line, but by the time turn 1 was hoving into braking point time, I was already off the tail of Geoffers, and being caught rapidly by Erling. This raised my suspicion level a little higher, and try as I might I just could do nothing about Geoffers and he streaked away. I am sorry if it ended up a little boring out there Geoff......Realised very quickly that 2nd was the best I could do, so just brought it home after trying too hard a couple of times and spinning.
Now, at the end of the race I had a look in the controls screen, and sure enough the brake was showing as dragging a small amount, bad enough to begin with, but also the throttle was not giving 100% either, more like 95. Jumped out of the game, made some adjustments, then went back in. Checked in controls, all now good it seemed, so jumped on and did a few laps to check. That seems to have done the trick, as the laptime was suddenly very different, so should be OK going forward. A bit frustrating, but that's racing right....
