I'm so looking forward to this Round! Love the XFGs on this track.. doing 1.34's on a good first sector otherwise low 1.35s consistently... don't wanna have engine damage that will slow me down later so i'll probably have to take it easy...

can't wait...

Great racing, bugger about the disconnect.

On that score, does anyone have a suggestion for a rock solid modem/router? Maybe Asus, Netgear or Linksys?

Yawn fest for me, follwing some stupid mistakes.

First I ran into the back of krayy or 4aged on lap 1 (whoever was Pedobear) after braking too late, and as I was in a panic trying to slow down and avoid the crash, changed into first and damaged my engine. I then thought I was being clever by pitting early on lap 2, forgetting it was adding fuel (20% as I had no idea how much I needed!), and spent the next 15 laps hefting a fuel heavy car around. So after 15 lonely laps of solid 1.37s and 1.38s I realised my engine had been damaged in lap 1, and it wasnt just the fuel weighing me down, and decided to do a reset. I braked to a stop at the entrance to the pits to ensure I was losing as little time as possible (pre empting a drive through penalty), reset, and the car promptly spawned in the middle of the gravel trap some 100 virtual metres after the pit entrance.

At this point I had had enough, was about to be lapped by the field, including those who had pitted, and didnt really fancy spending another 25 minutes driving laps of the most boring circuit in the game, on my own, to gain the heady heights of 10th (or maybe even 9th if someone else had a fail!), so I called it a day!

Valuable learning for me, and glad I made so many different mistakes all in one race!
