Good start, managed to avoid the trouble in T3/T4/T5 and got up to 7th behind
@Ramon Salles , who unfortunately received a major lagspike warping his car INTO my car, not a slight bump, but right in the cockpit. Needless to say my car went off, rejoined in 9th where a pack formed and I had some good fair battles until lap 6.

If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, we expect you to stop and let the other driver regain their position on you.
I am going to leave this here. Basically the slam I got on lap 6, turn 4 ended the competative part of my race, which also eliminated part of the fun of battling in the pack.
I was glad to catch up right behind
@Ron Hämäläinen for another great battle, in which I accidentally tapped him at the back, but did honor the golden rule specified above and gave back the position immediately. Had a great battle with him, at laptimes I could take him easily but passing one on track is fairly different. I do have a few tips for you Ron, mainly because I almost bumped into you a few times on those spots, on turn 1 you don't have to brake, with the right line you can do it with just releasing the throttle. The turn where I hit you, that was my bad, I was focussed on your brake lights instead of my own braking point and the law of reaction speeds and tailgating basically made me look like a reckless moron. Then the last chicane you could also take 10-15 kph more into the first corner
After Ron made a mistake I had
@Martin Faber all over my tail, tried all I could to keep him behind me, which succeeded because he did not go for tiny gaps I created with my mistakes. Had to pit on lap 16 for softs and thus finished the race as a lonely 12th
