Like Glenn, I should have stayed in bed, i just couldn't get into it this morning.
The track looked really nice, but it seemed to take a toll on my PC (or internet??), especially when the races were under way. All of the races gave me laggy performance, but strangely it wasn't too bad for qualy.
Got the Elite out the way for the first race, since I knew it would be uncompetitive, but fun to drive. Unfortunately, got spun early, made too many mistakes, badly damaged the car and tyres, and just decided to cruise it home for the last half of the race. It was no fun just holding up the faster cars.
Race 2 went ok, the Alfa was the superior car here. Managed a good lap for pole, missed the start to let Stu past, made a small mistake early, but then started catching Stu again. Unfortunately, any chance of a close finish ended when I came upon a spun Elite in a blind turn, hit him and damaged the Alfa. Eventually finished 2nd after some nice racing with a Mini ( Nigel I think).
Race 3 was a disaster. I suspected I could be competitive in the Mini after a good qualy lap gaining P2. It all went astray at the first turn. As expected the Alfa's were all over the Mini off the line, and as we approached the first turn, I had a big lag moment, and saw that Richard was in front and spinning. I assumed I hit him, so stopped and waited, but very sorry Richard. Now last, I made another mess by hitting Nigel when he seemed to suddenly stop in front of me (maybe another lag spike ?? ). Sorry Nigel. Later in the race I had contact with Stu and then next turn I understeered badly into a wall and bounced into the path of Stu again. Yet another apology to Stu, sorry mate. Three hits in one race, more than I average in a year, so I gave up and spent the rest of the race following Nigel and having some fun watching him bounce the poor Elite of the walls.
Thanks guys, but I'm feeling a little down right now. I still can't believe I could cause so many accidents. :wilt:
