You guys are very kind considering the time delay for the events to accomodate me
I really appreciate it and i could not feel more welcome than that as a new presto member
. But I don't want to cause anyone's bug by the 30 minutes delay. Though it seems you all don't mind so far.... that's cool
I don't know exactly what BST is, but here in march, we move the clock forward 1 hour.... i guess that's what you call BST. If yes, that won't change anything for me.
Please keep in mind that i won't be disapointed if you stay with you normal schedule. I will come and practice on servers with you on other days, but just won't make the races
From the small experience i have racing with you, i realize i'm doing much more mistakes than you all average. I have not fight with a big bunch of fast riders before joining you, so i lack experience managing the traffic. Remember i've been racing for less than 5 months
We had a few 3 laps fun races tonight and i look at the replays to see what i did wrong. Of course this was not an official season race, so the "be carefull spirit" was not that important. I would be much more cautious in an official race.
Here's what i think about the last 2 races i had tonight:
Race1, i was qualified 2nd, had a good start and was ahead of Marko in T2 but i didn't know that. When i enter T3 i leave way too much room for him so i was out of line a lot. i spun a bit when i accelerate so Eliezer had no space and we touch, than Eliezer touch Sean
. I got out of track in T4 and came back gently, but in T5 i had no idea Sean was there and my rear wheel touch his front at the exit. Even though i stayed quite on the inside.
Sorry for that Sean. Then i had a good battle with Eliezer but nothing went wrong.
Sean, as you asked me to be carefull when re-entrering the track, i'd like you to look at the replay, if you have a few minutes, and tell me what you think i should have done there!?!? I don't think i was so wrong...... was i?
What i think is: as i was in front of Marko, i should not leave that much room, get out of racing line and make a mistake. Its the responsibility to the guy behind to figure out how much room he have.... right??? But that was all my fault...
Race 2: Start 2nd last, i brake early enough in T1 to not hit anyone in the back, that was ok. I had a few stupid mistakes that got me out of the track, but except that little touch with Steve Crossland "out of the track" lol, nothing to cause anyone's problem.
Please ev-1, feel free to give me your thoughts about what i should work on to be better for other drivers.
Thanks
Steeve
