I basically had P8 locked up for the Championship. Because of Michael Stead's absence, I had a good shot at P7, and an outside chance at P6. Decided to say "what the hell" and was running 1/0 for wings for the race. It felt good during offline practice with 90% grip, but on the practice server it seemed a lot more slippery though
.
Qualified 7th, Locked up going into T1, and narrowly missed hitting
@David Armstrong, but still ended up gaining a spot there Gained another spot after the first chicane. Out of nowhere
@Akis was flying up behind me after Parabolica and got by me on L2 T1. Went sideways at Ascari but saved it. Unfortunately that allowed
@Frank to get a run on me. He tried an inside pass at Parabolica, but he had no turn-in because of an incident he had at T1 start, and bumped me off the track.
I had slight front wing damage, but now was in last place. Had hopes to get back into things, but the compromised front wing caused me to clip the exit kerb at Ascari and I now damaged the rear wing after hitting the wall. That killed my top end speed, and I just nursed it home for some points.
Congrats to
@Sun Levi for yet again dominating the race! Thanks
@Chris Stacey &
@Sniper for hosting!
It has still only been about a year since I actually bought some wheel/pedals and took sim racing seriously. At the beginning of the season I expected to be at the bottom of the pack with an outside shot at a top 10 placing. I think I ended up in 8th place, and I am happy with that. Looking at the drivers above me, it would have been really tough to finish much higher! Its been fun driving with you all and hope to race with you all sometime in the near future!
BTW....is RD picking up the travel for the Post-season awards ceremony?
