My first race with it. i installed half way through my career in season 2. Went to montreal. and was racing for my first win. it was a clean race 2nd last lap of a 50% race. leading by 7 seconds and the lap cars of Sargant and bottas collide before wall of champions and was affraid of getting a punture but was fine.
Then next race was Austria and whilst canada was clean and calm.. This was... australia 2023 Finish levels of crazy.
Sprint started normal but battle for 2nd into T1, 3 cars are out and creates my first red flag. restart 2, Albon who was 7th on the first start is now 2nd blow his engine also imediately and bunches the ai up before another crash into T1 and takes out another 3 cars. Red flag flies again. This time the restart was under full wet as rain had arrived and with 6 less cars. Everyone lived, before next lap we had our first spinner. one lap later, another spin. both didnt collect anyone. now onto lap 10/12 of the sprint. And stroll spins on the inner segments of the track, before Sargent and piastri crash into stroll. another 3 cars out. thankfully the sprint ends after 2 red flags and a safety car.
The actual GP was clean until lap 2. engine failed on bottas then Zhou spun on T2. Safety car again and the track that started wet on intermediates. by lap 2, now under pacing again, and lap 5 was dry enough for slicks. 8 laps later. 3 wide into T2 and another multi car crash, this time only eliminating 2 cars. Restart the race again and clean 1st lap, but as coming over line. Safety car AGAIN, this time to Zhou pitting for a new wing after contact and then Albon cuts down. classic it entry in 2nd last corner at austria. Later the race. Magnussen gets a random punture.
As for tyre wear. i have the 50% on, and in the spain race i did. my tyres were upto 80%. montreal in the first stint. my mediums got to 60% and the austria was all hell breaks loose so i dont even know. But it adds alot more interest into the race and to me made it much more enjoyable, plus the added wonder if the race will be boys have at it. battle royale in F1 cars but it was completely worth installing. super easy to do as well.
