Okay, first off: WOW! That was a great race, it's easy in my top 3 here at RD! Second, sorry to
@jimortality for bumping you at the third corner, ending in us both spinning :/
And third, the race from my perspective. I started at pos 2, and the start was the worst I've ever done, losing at minimum 6-7 places, but didn't fall to far away. Then the it was time to torture my I6T, which worked well. Low gears, easy on the throttle and away you go. Still think the Inline-6T must be faster than the rest of the cars, because I ain't this fast normally.
Anyways, climbing through the positions and having a great time, had a weird moment when
@Beikirch appeared on the straight from nowhere 2 dm from my car! No contact at least, and the race continued. Then I bumped Jim, which as I said spun us both, waited for him and though "well, it was fun while it lasted". But we didn't drop to far behind, and after passing Jim in a more legal way I started chasing.
Then I don't know what happend, but I pited and all of a sudden
@Lars Hansen was behind me in the pits. No idea how I ended up infront of him, but it didn't last long. I made a very wide turn coming out of the last corner and got a 2.3 sec penalty. Lars oblivious passed me easily, and I stared chasing him instead.
Then Lars spun on the crest, and I was infront of him again, and with open road. Just then I realized I was 4th and not to far behind
@Beikirch! Started hunting him like a madman, hopping for my first ever podium finish here at RD. And I pushed so hard, and therefore made mistakes, but I was at last right behind him. Thought "lets take it easy, we got lots of time, and I'm faster than him right now". But I forgot that thought quickly and pass him after the "valley" (first slow corner after the crest) and well, bumped him, spun myself and Ralf got away.
After that I tired to push but it just ended up in mistakes and finished 4th, 10 sec behind Ralf. I had a action-filled, fun and great race, both in performance and enjoyment. Thanks all, and see you next time!
Also, side not, but I got a bug where everybodys ping and p2p was 0 during quali and first half of the race. And since I know that my internet ins't the best I usually wanna know my ping so I don't make any risky maneuvers that would cause crash due to netcode.
