The first start was really weird. It looked like there were two formation laps. I was able to overtake Ville in the first corner and soon even Jernej. Then we all received penalties. I was in the lead but we all had to go to pits because of the penalty. I don't really see a point changing from 45 mins to 25 laps two minutes before the race start. I barely noticed it. This should be said at least half an hour before the race.. So I had to go with full tank. Then fortunately restart came.
The second start wasn't a lot better for me. Again I overtook Ville but I had a blue flag so I waited to find a safety place to let Ville pass me. However it was too late. I received penalty again. It looked like the race was over for me. Then JES removed it and I was finally able to push. Ville let me go then which was very nice of him. Fair driving, very nice of you. Then Jernej made a mistake leaving me in the lead. After that it was all about driving around and managing the tyres. Ville was all over my back in the last couple of laps. But the dirty air is just too big to overtake someone. I made a mistake in the last lap and gave a chance to Ville but I managed to hold him behind me.
So second victory for me. All in all pretty good race for me. However those penalties have to be solved. Rolling starts cause all the problems. Why can't we use normal starts? Because of some tyre smoke? Isn't there tyre smoke in the real life? We're trying to simulate real behaving of the car and we're unable to be careful a little at the start? This is a best simracing league in the world. And even more, these rolling starts don't allow proper overtaking. If you consider this huge dirty air, the start is basically the only opportunity to overtake someone.
Anyway, looking forward to the final race. Looks like it'll be very interesting. When we'll know the track for the last race?
