Grats to
Sean,
Tim and
David! A very well deserved podium combo.
And of course grats to all who finished (so no grats for me this time
)
Qualy, 1st:
I was able to do a 1:11:3xx very early but due to being still nervous I couldn't improve this time. Luckily it was enough to pole, but in the end David was super close by 0.1 sec, having the chance to catch me (I watched this nice lap live).
Race, DNF:
Having pole in monaco means you have the P2 driver on the inside line of you and being very close to you. I had a little wheel spin at the start and immediately knew that David must be at my inside. So I left room and held the outside line and indeed he made a very clean pass.
Now I chased him for 21 laps. I knew that attacking was very risky, so I decided to be as close as possible to make him pressure but also give me some safety margins.
I started on med/med with 80L fuel, so during the pit stop I would only need to take med/med and 55L. I thought this could be my chance but 1 or 2 laps before pitting there was a huge smoke infront of me at the pool and David was standing there after a spin. I also saw Valter there being slowly, so I thought they touched when david tryed to lap him. This made me feel sorry for David and I thought about letting him pass at the main straight, so our fight could continue in the old order but David went to the pits.
At the end of lap 22 I think I also pitted, because I was afraid David could win too much time on fresh tires. Leaving the pits I was behind Tim but infront of David. At lap 25 my game started stuttering at swimming pool and it increased to huge stuttering with few freezes. :frown: Like I wrote in the incidents report, I hope I wasn't in the way of anyone. Sean, don't worry about me there. I waited at a safety zone if the stuttering would go away and when it seemded to do so, I tryed to go on. But it came back and I spun. Now I hit ESC because i was somewhere at the finish straight. Race over.
When pressing Alt+Tab I saw the stupid Kaspersky doing some scanning or so. All the races before I disabled it. So I'm very frustrated it wasn't the PC's fault but my mistake.
David, would you still say I'm an Alien?
Thanks guys for your kind congrats for winning the championship. Everyone here did a fine job through the whole season and I'm glad to see how much we all improved. I can't wait the next season!!!!
Edit: Anthony, if you are going to drive with two arms again in the next season, would you say you have a chance to fight for the tilte? I'd say so!
Special thx to our admin Nico, who keeps it all running butter smooth!!! In this terms you are a real champ, too. :wink:
PS: I'm in holiday until 3rd of july but I'd like to race the green hell so much, be it MMG or RR. Could the 6th of July be an option, too?
