Race one:
I have always felt that I can execute a good start, but not today.
It wasn't a bad one, but sure wasn't one of my the best ones either.
But, I had a plan, to use drafting to keep up with the others.
Well, without even noticing, me and
@István Milbich scraped some paint:
at the start, but nothing major happen.
At T2,
@Peter Ell clipped the right wall, and I were right behind him.
I was 100% sure my race would be ruined at that point.
But by pure luck, we didn't crash into each other,
But the marginal must been like, 1 millimeter, and the race was still on.
Moments later, out of nowhere comes
@István Milbich and passes me:
However, I felt I were faster, but I miscalculated Istvans driving a little.
At the 2nd "S" corner, he drifted out wide, and I saw my chance to pass him. But since he bumped the left wall, he kinda "flew out a bit" and arrived right in front of me. So I decided to go for his other side, but what I didn't saw at the time, was that edge on the left side, so I slammed my breaks, but unfortunately, I carried to much speed and bumped his rear:
You can say it was an unlucky luck, but in the process, I also manage to bump into his front,
thus turning his car towards the right way:
This made it possible for
@Peter Ell to pass both of us:
My biggest fear came true right after all this, and a few moments later,
I couldn't stop my car, and bumped this wall:
This made it possible for
@Damian Millett and
@István Milbich to pass me.
While unfortunately,
@Nuno Rodrigues crashed into me.
But we both got going, and race was underway once again.
On lap 2, I were behind
@István Milbich once again, and used drafting to get close to him.
At T3, I both outbraked him and myself
So that little joy I felt, were soon gone when he once again passed me.
But I were soon close to him again, and tried to find spot to pass, but he defended hard, and to be honest, It was probably only in my imaginary land that I thought I could pass him.
I mean, hello, Macau!
At lap 3 I felt I had him, but I had to lift my foot on the gas at T2.
I really wanted to pass him, since I had the speed with me, but I didn't want to cause any trouble so I decided just to let it go and look for another moment.
It came right after T2, and we were now side by side.
And at T3 I outbraked him again, and passed him:
Now, the hunt for
@Damian Millett began, who wasn't that far ahead. So I slowly got closer and closer to him. At the end of Lap 4, a mistake came from him, and he drifted out wide. However, this would be another accident that I got involved with. On the way back to the racing line, Damian slammed the left wall, and his car just appeared in front of me. Which lead to me crashing into him.
A few seconds later I lifted my foot from the gas pedal, since I started thinking to myself
"what does the rules says about this" but I decided to keep going.
There were nothing I could do, and if I get punished, so be it.
I am now up in 6th place, and I spent rest of the time all by myself. I think I pitted 1st, and was hoping to gain something from that, but not today. When everybody had done their pitstops,
I were now in P5 (I passed someone while they were doing their stop in the pit),
which also were my final position.
Overall I enjoyed the event, but I will never like these cars
