Had lots of fun, always wanted to a long F1 race like this...I just don't get why most of the community shy away from F1 races. I kept holding back on going for a lower wing setting, should've gone for it...I did 11/12 but with the final gear ratio one click from the longest, so it gets up to speed fast and was pretty quick in the corners, but yea only doing about 320-325 without DRS. I apologise to
@Ho3n3r for that tap at T1: it was definitely not my intention, I was just slightly off on the timing. It seemed like a relatively light tap and you caught it nicely, so I hope no hard feelings.
Did 2 stops (Soft/Med/Soft) but only took gas on the first stop. On my final stint with 20 mins left, I was finally starting to close in on
@PurgerUK who was about 14 seconds ahead, but on tyres that seemed to be wearing down...was consistently beating my session best each lap trying to catch him, but as I got within 4 seconds I had a spin at T1 with I think 7 minutes left...went right back to 14 seconds. So close to a podium, yet so far
I have an issue though, don't know if it was just me: Tyre temps seem to be pretty static in practice but not so much during the race: I ran Softs for countless laps on the server during practice and they stayed at about 95C, but when the race started all of a sudden I'm overheating both softs and mediums to 104. I didn't start drifting every corner...something I'm missing here?
