Yes.. of course I want to know what happened..
I can surely say that it ruined my race!
I left my PC with 13 minutes to race session to guide my dad by phone to the live broadcast website, and when I returned to my gaming PC the timer was @ 00:00 in race session.. Obviously I had to hit the race button as fast as I could which meant that I had to start the race with a dry qual setup
Isn´t it written in the RULES that qual+warmup should be 30 min ??
And it became even more frustrating when I realised that I could have been fighting with Roland and Rami about the top positions if everything has been started correctly.
Anyway.. the race became very exciting in another way.. it was fun to chase from behind and the Ultima felt like i glove last night. My feeling for the car was excellent and I felt I could push very hard without loosing consistency. And when I was up to 4th (which I DIDN´T thought was possible after my pitstop at lap1) I was actually very pleased with my performance..
The fuel incident at the finish was a bit uneccesary though.. :/ I saw with 5 laps to go that it would be tight. But I thought that when the timer was down to zero, my race was over when I crossed the S/F-line, and therefore I didn´t made a short pitstop to fill up a couple of liters. But obviously the LEADER had to cross the S/F-line before anyone can finish.. so I ended up with an empty fuel tank at the last lap.. :frown: In any case I had loosed the 4th place to Robin.. but I think an extra short stop only would have put me down to 5th. Which had been better than 7th..
With some distance to the race... I´m actually quite pleased with my performance. I can´t blame myself for the start since I don´t belive it was my mistake.. and I proved to myself that I could keep up with race pace of the top guys, and once again.. that a wet track is my speciality
But it was very difficult to use any other line then the raceline which sent my off track numerous of times when I had to defend myself during the fight with Robin.
A good thing.. there was no lag at all last night which made it easy to race with small margins..
Thumbs up!
