Race 1: took me some time to get used to the car, and even longer to get used to the track
(these processes are not even finished yet). However, my first quali lap turned out to be the fastest but still not enough to drive with the fast guys... the race itself had a couple of nice "battles" for my understanding, but unfortunately I lost the left rear tire and noticed only when the rearend came around everytime I used the brakes. Went into the pit and was hoping for the mouse cursor to select tires, but there wasn't one, so I thought, well, maybe they changed the tires already
and took off, only to find out that I was wrong. So, pit... here I come again
this time I figured it all out, was kinda amazed that I could also choose from different brands of tires, indecisive as I am, it then took me some time to choose a pair but then I was ready to run again
Finished last, but got to know a new track and a new car
Race 2) Same story, came in last although I was doing so good at first (pacing myself not to drive too fast so I would be off the track in lap 1) for a couple of laps
Then on that downhill part that leads to the hairpin, I was a little too fast and off I went falling back. A S/G penalty did the rest, but at least I achieved my fastest lap in the race
One thing's for sure, the practicing a day before the race helped me a lot to get a better position in the races, but as I don't have that much time anymore, I will need to adapt my expectations accordingly
Still, I enjoyed this race event
