Hi folks,
Great racing yesterday once again, nice and close times with good grid numbers (our little band of racers seems to be increasing slowly but surely.. hurray!).
Sorry I had to drop out of race 2, had some awful lag (first time I’ve suffered that with RRE) nearly had a collision at the first chicane because of it) so thought it best to leave before I ruin it for everyone. Seems the gaming PC is struggling connecting now, so I’ll check it out tonight see what’s up.
Race 1 was excellent, got a great start from P2 and led the early laps until Matej pulled of a perfect pass into the first chicane and pulled out a second or so while I continued the excellent dice with Paul for P2. Sadly I was stuck down with brain fade again and ran wide at the Parabolica dropping me to third. Couldn’t maintain the front running pace from that point and ran home a slightly distant 3rd by the end. Note to self – work on cutting out the mistakes in future!
Race 2 got another excellent start from P2 and led into the chicane, only to be involved in a rear end shunt (not sure what happened with that yet, not had chance to review the reply) and came out in P3, which wasn’t bad actually because the front 2 were embroiled in a battle royal that I was really looking forward to getting involved with. Ran close for a few laps (just waiting for those in front to run wide and give me a clean pass) when the ‘lag issue’ arose. Nearly collected everyone in T1 when suddenly they appeared right in front of me when they were 40 odd yards away seconds before ! Decided better to go than cause issues (only about 7 – 8 mins left in the race anyway).
All in, another spectacular way to spend a couple of hours living out the virtual dream.
Gentlemen, thank you for the racing, Kjell, thank you for organising it all,
Until next time…
Paul
