The main reason I don't even bother racing online now is because it's just terrible. Cargame is not even comparable, it full of people who spend all day driving to get a gt2 and can't even control it and just wreck. I couldnt think of anything worse than gt2 in the same grid as STD. CTRA was awesome and I would love to see something like that come back.
This round went as good as possible for me. I wanted a 30.1 in qualy to secure pole, but after my second lap I hit a 30.22 which turned out to be pole anyway.
My gear 1 was setup more to be fast for SC3 than the start so I was worried about that, but it turned out that Reno's 1st gear was worse than mine
Going down into turn 1 I noticed in my mirrors that Mikko had run into Reno which instantly gave me a big enough gap so I could just take it easy and not push. My tyres got hot but the pace was still there so it gave me some confidence for the main race.
Starting 8th and it was always going to be tough to get to the front. I just aimed to get through T1 safe and make some progress from there, and that's what I did. Got past Mikko in the fast chicane after Sc1, and then straight past niki too. Coming down into the tight hairpin of Sc3 i went for a move on Andres which worked, but braked a tiny bit too late noticing i would clip Reno, so i tried to turn away but got hit by J.Pickard so I could do nothing and hit Reno. At this point I was in 3rd after just 1 lap and knew there was a chance to take the win. I was catching Isaac who was slowing catching Joni, my plan at first was to get right up behind Isaac and dive into the pits but that plan soon changed and an opportunity to pass in sc1 came and i took the chance and Isaac didn't fight for it so I decided to run a few more laps. I then caught up to Joni and tried a few times to get past, and this lost us both times, looking back I should have just dived into the pits or gone for a move that would 100% work. Sorry to him.
After losing some time I knew I would have to push for the next few laps as Isaac had pitted earlier and missed the fighting between myself and Joni. I decided to pit pretty late on but it all worked out and managed to take another win with the fastest lap. It was good fun and im sorry to Reno who feels I tried to divebomb him from about 5 car lengths back and clearly doesnt see that if I had not been hit he wouldnt have lost time...
lol, like I said before, if i hadn't of been hit by Pecker you would have had a near spin and lost all that time, you cant be compensated for the time it has taken you to overtake people
Of course I'll let him decide lol I'm just putting in my view. And I brake late enough to make the pass. Yes I may have clipped you without the hit from pecker but it wouldn't have made you have a near spin that's for sure. And if it crap you don't have to race, accidents happen...
Joe Holmes thought he would pass Andre which he did, realises he was gonna hit Reno and starts to run wide to try and avoid you, meanwhile J.Pickard hits me, and pushes me into you, nothing more I can do there, sorry anyway. Thats racing, maybe you will watch the replay and realises that instead of posting a useless protest that you can see that im not at fault and think twice. Hope you calm down soon
