Well just a big mess on my end. First Internet then TS. Could not load any of my own set-up and at the start none of the controllers where working, so I had to quit 30 sec before to avoid any accident.

I have almost 800h on ACC... Let's see with 0.8...

 

[Knut Mattheisen]

sorry for the early quit, but my wheel was ill... :-( ongoing problems with the reation time of the wheel...

 

[Michael Rudolf]

Big sorry to everyone, start incident was my fault. Tried to stay out of trouble, @Vlad Zap did brake earlier than I expected, tried to avoid a collision but bumped a little into @Knut Mattheisen on the left and started sliding not being able to stop Another big sorry to @Stephen brophy, missed my breaking point in parabolica. Not my day at all Surrendered to become last and practiced pit stops after a while. Oh well

well feck acc running comfortable in third 20 secs ahead of 4th and 35 secs behind 2nd when i missed my braking point into the first chicane and cut it drive through penalty straight away no warning was very ****ing harsh should have been a easy podium..oh well thanks for the race guys was good fun

A really great race from my side. Qualified in 4th with a lap I was fairly happy with. Then the start of the race put me back to P8 for a bit, as I had to completely stop to avoid a T1 incident. Good job on the guys behind me for not hitting me! Then worked my way through the field all the way up to P2 eventually, people spinning out (or somebodies monitor abandoning him @Max Melamed ) some minor fights but I usually managed to get passed in a few turns time. Then came the hotlapping for me as P1 @Trebucht was wayyy too quick to keep up with and P3 Alan Bourke was already 10-15 seconds behind when I got to P2. Managed to slowly get my laptimes down consistently lap by lap, chasing down a lap down @Michael Rudolf and trying to close the gap to him. Starting in the high 49's, with an occasional 1:50.0, slowly going down by a tenth a lap to 1:49.1 near the end of the race. Eventually reached my first 48 in lap 23 and then even improve that to 1:48.861 at the finish line.
4th consecutive P2 finish for me. Time to secure a win some time soon!

Sorry again mate, definately not on purpose. Though watching that again you coulda have also left me a bit more space on the inside there, I was already pretty much on the grass, not much I can do

My short report on the last race. Pretty solid qualification but I had no chance to catch 1 second to the leader. Start of the race was good, but I pushed my brakes earlier to do not miss the turn-in in the first chicane having competitor from the left. Unfortunately it was too early for @Michael Rudolf and I got a hit and minor damage of the rear. Surprisingly it didn't impact my performance and I was able to closely follow the leader during next laps. But such high pace was probably too much for me and I made an error in Ascari chicane while attacking the last curb on the exit. In result I got severe damage and after repairing in boxes I had no grip to seriously pretend on anything in the race. So, I finished 4th or 5th but it was rather a luck than result of my high and consistent pace.

Yeah I think my monitor mount was tired yesterday. He had a good night rest then and now is back up and running
