Race report from Pearcy
Qually - Had a few struggles with traffic, most of the time i found it hard to get a decent amount of space and ruined 2 laps one of which was my fastest s1. doing stints screwed me up a little because i wasn't pushing as hard as i could at first. 5th in the end, little dissapointed but ok with it.
Sprint - Got upto P2 or 3 by T1 then Dennis came towards me and i just got a knock from the right side and went off into the gravel (he didn't actually touch me and was a decent distance away i just assume there was some lag or something) swerving wildley because i also had about 10FPS during the start so was a bit shakey for the first few laps because it didn't get much better until lap 5, down to 19th or something, ended up finishing 8th too many overtakes to name them all but i was really impressed after watching the stream at how close it was. Has some set problems too, some understeer and right front burning. Decent race.
Feature - I was really excited because i thought id have been on pole with my 8th place finish but it was top 6 reversed
(damn you wilko wth is top 6??) anyway got a clean start got past Ramon and another FXO i think then started to persue Toki, with Ramon right up my chuff onto the straight, we ended up 3 wide near the corner and i thought it was just 2, i turned right a little to get a better line and i hit what i thought was toki so i stayed here, Ramon later backed off so i actually had loads of space so just made things harder for myself, i was commited though, i thought if a backed out Ramon would get me too, missed my braking point a little and just understeered into Toki's path, was minor contact in the end but lag made it bag and so did the barriers, i smashed into the wall and got some damage which caused me problems later on, Toki ended up retiring after hitting the barriers sadly, sorry again mate. The damage caused the car to understeer on left handers and oversteer on the exit of right handers so was a bit hard to drive, coupled with the fact i had rudys brakes which kept snapping on me :\ He did make the tyres work perfect though and it turned in soo nice comparedthe the first race just s shame i didn't get to try it fully
. Had a bit of an off with Yann also which cost me about 5 or 6 laps worth of overtaking! But all my fault, sorry Yann. Then towards the end i had an FXO very close, i couldn't get on the power on exit as much as he could because of the damage and RWD and he pushed me a little which was a little annoying seen as i had oversteer problems anyway but was pretty exciting so i'll let him off
Too much happened to mention fully but im so impressed by everyones driving after watching the stream, really well done and commentators were great as usual. Ok so wasn't the best weekend for the championship, but im getting more fun starting from the back and mid pack, maybe this is what i need more of in LFS to keep me interested, really enjoyed it.
