Well that was Hero to Zero over the 2 races.
I simply lucked out with my car choice for Race 1 and somehow hit the right adjustments for the Bellet to make it drive perfectly for me.
As Micha has said that was a truly fun race ( regardless of whether I had taken 1st place ) An early error on my part dropped me back and it took many laps (too many laps at 100%!!) to catch Micha's BMW again. The Bellet had the speed advantage which did surprise me because I have never found that in the car before
so I was able to set up any pass through the previous corner and with a little slipstream, draft past on the next straight. But Micha refused to lie down and surrender
and he regained the lead.
Right up to the last corner it was a case of one mistake will decide the result. Tremendous fun and what simracing is all about.
Race 2 was a problem because what little practice I had done with the available cars was carried out at Imola
. I am not complaining as I doubt that it would have changed the result. I opted for the Alfa only because the setup that I had created for Imola was the most stable, even if it was not the fastest. An early mistake dropped me from a mid field position to a distant last place, from where I slowly clawed my way back at the expense of other's mistakes and DNF's
