Q: I simply don't have pace with this mod. It's not for me. P14 i think with a 4 seconds behind P1.

R: Involved in first corner mess, driving for 20 laps had some battles during those 20 laps then i entered the pits and quit the game. I simply was not enjoying the race and 20 laps more was to much for me yesterday.

I expected this result as during the practice i have come to a conclusion that i don't have the pace with this mod. It's simply not for me. I really hate "raging" into the corners and i prefer to feel the limit of the car (like in older mods) but with this mod I have zero feeling about the car behavior. Sometimes it seems you can fly in the corner then the second time you try faster and you are out of track. I don't understand this cars. I don't know where i loose so much time, tried different settings but always the same.
 
Q: not attempted...only few laps for try race setup, i've no pace for qualify laps

R: started with medium tyres and wait the usually carnage in the first corner...

Punctual as death it happened with a half of grid involved...and continued in every single corner of the first lap

After that i beceme 6th and chasing Vismara for 5th with a good pace (we gradually making gaps from other driver) for more of 10 laps when a Red Bull chasing our duo and smashing in my rear like an idiot for another time (4time in last 4 races circa...) ?

I don't know who it was...but it start to became very frustrating

Restart with car totally unbalanced and spotted tyres...try to anticipate the pit and mounted hard tyres for going to the end but car was so damaged at all

At last...my connection start to have problems (partially "freezing" for some laps) and at 21st going to the pit and retire
 
Q: qualified P13

R: Very good start and managed to to avoid most of the chaos in front of me. In lap 4 R.Argesheime spinned in front of me on the second straight and when trying to avoid him I hit the grass and got into the wall on the other side off the track. R.Gali had the same and rolled 3 times. Crippled back to the pits and decided to go on the medium tyre for the rest of the race. Didn't had any incidents after and I only had some fights with M.Zerak. Rest of the race was more like letting faster people by. Ended up at P11.


Time codes:
00:00:00 Start: a lot of chaos in front of me but I got out pretty well to P5 - lap 0
00:04:33 U.Belci coming closer but spins behind me upcoming straight - lap 2.9
00:05:42 R.Argesheime and R.Gali hugging eachother - lap 3.7
00:06:09 R.Argesheime getting a run on me, then after the chicane... disaster strikes. Then limping to pits - lap 4.0
00:07:46 Pitstop (not sure why R.Hargesheim stops at wrong box lol) - lap 5.0
00:19:00 I make a mistake last corner and M.Zerak gets a run on me - lap 11.8
00:47:53 M.Zerak gets a run on me again on the straight. He goes through the grass and managed to get on his inside for the next corner. Iam on very old mediums and Marko on softss so in the end he gets passed me - lap 31.8
00:58:18 Finish - lap 39.0
00:58:58 Replay chaotic start (tv cam)
01:00:19 Results
 
Q: I didn't expect to be that high placed in Q, but i will take it :D

R: Good start, somehow survived first corners, but lap 2 get me back :D One of Mercedes drivers overtook me, but slowed down out of the corner. This made Roman behind to hit me gently. Then Žerak get passed me from right side, but i just touch his rear and we both spinned. I guess he was so angry that he drove in to me, which wasn't nice, because of that both lost 10 second for sure.

After this i had great race from last place. Actually it was great race till the end. I was 1 lap short to overtake Pičerko but 6th place was more than i was expceting from race.

@Mirko This was last time you wrote something in race chat. Try avoiding this type of language and behaviour.

TO ALL: This league is meant to be fun. What that means we all need to be carefull at least at the starts as not all are "professionals".
Races are long enough to have enough time to gain positions.

I hope the rest 11 races will show that we can start and drive much better than what happened in Australia.

I also noticed a lot of members just get on server to do hotlaps. Stop doing that. Try to go on server driving with full fuel and really try to prepare for race. I also hope that all members will be more online, that is why server is 24/7 on.
