Well, that was a horrible first experience racing here. In both races, I got collected in wrecks on the first straight (shortly after eau rouge), neither of my own making but both rendered my car undrivable within 30 seconds of racing. Very frustrating, and a big waste of time. Sorry to be so negative, but I was really looking forward to this, after experiencing the debacle that is the Assetto Corsa multiplayer, but this was no better for me. I'll give it another shot in the future, but am really disappointed right now. I'm far from the fastest driver (I've just started sim racing recently), but to not even have a chance to get a full lap in either race really sucks.
OK, I think I'm done venting now... I just hope this was an anomaly, and not a common occurrence.
