This was my worst event in Live for Speed period but i’m glad i didn’t ruined anybody’s race but AdamB’s almost.. Yeah sorry about that Frown
The thing i learned in this week’s event is , being fast in qualification is one thing but being fast while racing is another… Passing anybody without contact with a -relatively- big car while track is only 3 wide is whole another ball game and i learned very quickly that i wasn’t ready for any of it.
Well my finals week is coming and i wanted to stop racing for a while with a great top 3 finish so i practiced very hard for this week’s event. I tried different setups, searched breaking points, when to turn-in when to give gas etc. and even did a offline 21 lap pre-race to make sure about fuel levels so as you can see i was more than ready.
So at grid i knew i needed to get top 3 to achieve my goal so i went for it. My practices made lot of difference.. I could keep up with the pack without breaking a sweat and i felt i was faster than they are and i thought to myself that i could pass them easily… At 2nd lap i did my move and disaster ! I couldn’t pass AdamB and nearly spinned him out… Lost 2 positions to spiky and Jepis. I was shaken but not giving up because of my goal… I was in top 5 in qualification i could easily pass spiky and Jepis i thought… So in T5 ( not even waiting for 1 lap!! ) i brake too late and hit Jepis rear end then it hit me. I wasn’t ready for any of this and if i kept trying i would ruin someone’s race.. So i gave way J.A. Katila, slowed down a bit and started chasing him.
After Jepis has left i thought without anybody in my front to battle i could do high 1:30’s and low 1:31s just like in my practices and get back in the race and after only 1 turn i did an error and nearly rolled my car which destroyed my morale all together...

Even though it was my worst race, i’m totally happy that it was other way around for most of the drivers and new “Highlight Moments” are amazing and gives new taste to race reports so keep up the amazing work Lucaf Smile

Amazing race report for an amazing race again but I'm really starting to concern about the work gone in to the making this race reports Smile.. Seems like every report you outdoing yourself Smile...

Well if we get to the race, it started great again for me, with a pace that i was happy with but at 6th lap (and in the report pointed out) someone in the lead has clipped the tyre wall and they rolled to the road. While i was chasing [MRc]Michal i hit one of the tyres that was on the road and it upsetted the car and nearly spinned ... It costed me 1 place to the Jam 616 but no big deal we were just started racing Smile
After some more close racing, at the beginning of 9th lap i did my move to pass Jam and misjudged where Jam 616 was and after my move I gave him no room to avoid and he pitted me which cost him 1 place and cost me 3... Sorry Jam Frown
But after that incident i caught up with Jam 616 - [WCL]J.A.Katila - 9397 and if you ask me that 4 had the best bumper to bumper, blood boiling race in this event...
Annnnnd at the last corner of 21st lap what [WCL]J.A.Katila did was soo cheeky that got me off guard or should i say "on guard".... *buh dum tss*...
Jokes aside amazing battle with J.A.Katila, i thought we were evenly matched (even tho he was very damaged) and i know who to rival on upcoming events (and you Mr. 9397 as well... next time i won't be licking the wall and spin) Smile

P.S: Here is my contribute to the race report:

That was my first race event ever in LFS and i had an amazing time Smile I had a great start but after that near flip i lost 2 places and got greedy and pushed my self beyond my limit which cost me the race as you can see on my facelifted ufr Big grin ... Pit was a disaster, i didnt need it but i didnt like the feeling of my new car Smile Well amazing race and report. See you on the next one i guess Smile

P.S: I really cant understand why people left instantly. Race goes on who made mistakes also Smile

P.S2: And on report my nick keeps changing between MGEDK and MGEDEK Smile It should be MGEDK.. I know its hard to keep track all of the nicknames but just sayin... Smile
