Well what a start to Season 6
Welcome back to usual Div 4 Racers and greetings to retreads and newbies.
My Race 1 rundown: Disconnected 4 times in practice until it was suggested to do hard set (turn everything off including router and restart). Did that then all OK. I have noticed some game issues lately with my new fanatec wheel. Anyone else having issues?
I qualified 3rd. @Anne got Pole then @Doski 2nd and @googe00 behind me. All pretty close times.
Then the Race, I got a good start and closed on @anne, got @Doski first corner, 2nd place, then mistake turn 5 @Doski and @Arnold passed me, back to 4th. Got @Arnold on back straight then he pitted early. @anne was gone and was about 8 seconds in front of us by lap 5. @Doski , @Goog and I had some great close racing until I decided to pit on about lap 11. Last second decision caused me to get 10 second penalty for speeding in pit lane. Came out in 6th in front of @iniesta__97 concentrated on building on the gap behind to 10 seconds+ to maintain 6th. (Lucky pitstop? Raced by myself until the end just concentrated on my race, bit boring actually). @iniesta__97 pitted, so big gap to 7th then towards end I started passing racers in pit lane. Passed @anne and @googe00 in pits with about 4 laps to go. Up to 2nd behind @Doski then he pitted 2nd last lap. 1st place! with about 10 second lead and 10 second penalty, built the lead to about 13 seconds by end. (I thought). The results had me P1 @Doski 7 something Then @googe00 7 something then @anne 8 something behind me. But with 10 second penalty, 4th is OK.
I think a got fastest lap (38.8) from my quick scan. Forgot to take screen shot. And saved only 38 mins?. I felt good for finishing in front. Penalty my fault. Surprised @anne finished behind us. Overall I saw good racing. Bring on Race 2.
