AC Lotus 49 vs. Ferrari 458 S 3 @ Mugello - Tue May 10th 2022

At some point during the race I thought to myself that it's boring if Allan doesn't make a mistake and I've almost finished the event.
But then...
A great final phase.

Hit from behind in T1..

I was raging a bit after this..

Hm, @Jekabs Silins ?

The second incident was already in rage state, I guess? Not the fault of other people as far as I see it. (Colin was clearly in front of you and hit the brake to be cautious. Certainly not to brake check you)

I'm talking about the first incident, I got caught out at the second one. Didn't expect him to brake midcorner.

Yep. That's why I tagged @Jekabs Silins to see what he has to say about this...

I don't want to make a fuss about it you know.. but it is a bit frustrating.

I braked because I was trying not to understeer into the person on my left. First lap is always a bit frantic so hoping to stay out of trouble.

Idk what I was thinking in the first first corner. Maybe I braked too late but still baaad. When I saw him going into a spin I nudged him straight (is that ok to do?) and I let him through in the next corner, so no hard feelings?

@Jekabs Silins
Yes, i noticed that and you waited for him, as frustrating as it is, a typical first corner racing incident.
Ironically happens to me a lot, invariably my fault for being super cautious, I went for it this time, maybe a mix of go for it and cautious is a problem in itself.

Yeah, I had 3 T1 incidents in the Classic F1 series and now again.. I suppose it was getting a bit much. The race is 40 mins long, by being more cautious you do not ruin the race of others.

On to more happy thoughts... Next Tuesday there will be another Different/Equal race. This time in slower cars...

Hope to see you all (and maybe even more people) there!
