Race=black flagged
My strategy for the race was prime prime options, but
unfortunately Beno wanted to retire so he distroyed his car and
f***ed my race.
I'm just gonna retire from this league, I have nothing against
any of u but I don't want to put up with this. I did have lots
of fun with u guys but it's really unfair for me.

Did you get DSQ because you hit the safety car?
You can't be quitting because of Beno surely?
Would rather kick Beno than lose you mate since you actually
make a contribution to the forums.
I know I have been fuming after the odd race. Maybe cool down a
bit & then decide if you still want to quit.

Q(wet): 4th. Great effort from my team mate to get his first
pole position.
R: 1. Had a decent start but I really struggled with my first
stint on prime tyres. Lost the rear end under braking at T1,
saved it but then couldn't get out of Gazza's way so got spun
around.
Lost plenty of time & places.
Was looking good for 5th place until Beno brought out the SC
with 12 laps to go. I had done 2 stints on primes so I had to
pit once under SC for options & then pit next lap for primes.
I had saved plenty of fuel earlier & had about 2.5 laps extra to
play with.
I was behind Gazza at the restart & he spun as the SC pitted & I
couldn't react quick enough & lightly damaged my front wing.
Lost only a couple seconds.
From there I was able to catch striker & pass him using DRS. The
gap was then about 6 seconds to Supanash with 8 laps to go & I
was feeling really confident with the car.
Managed to catch Supanash (who was struggling with his fuel
management) with about 4 laps left & passed him using DRS.
Winning comfortably in the end after Nash clipped the pit entry.
Was due for some good luck after all the bad luck previously.
Didn't deserve the win but that's racing sometimes.

Thats a very good idea livo, pit for options then next lap for
primes, I should have thought about that one, maybe I wouldn't
have had the disqualification problem. I had saved allot of fuel
too but I just didn't know what to do.
Btw my disqualification was because of illegal overtaking, idk
what I did I was just following the safety car and I had arround
3 car length bettween me and the safety car, I think it was a
lag, and I'm really tired of all the lags I've had in this game.
Beno isn't the problem for sure, but lag is a real issue for me.

Q - 8
Looks like I'm pretty hopeless in the wet. In both China and now
Germany I've really struggled in wet quali sessions . Can barely
keep the car on the circuit. Did ok in a wet race in Malaysia,
but apart from that it's been really bad. Not sure what it is.
Wonder if it's my wheel settings. Either that or basic lack of
talent :-[
R - 2
I'm a lot better in the dry thankfully. Did well to avoid all
the first lap incidents and was up to 4th by the end of it. A
few laps later I caught and passed livo for 3rd under DRS. After
that I kind of lost focus and wasn't lapping as fast as I could.
Eventually I snapped out of it, turned the fuel up and set off
to try to catch Paul and Moss who were quite a long way ahead.
I'd started on options, so pitted earlier than the two leaders
who were on primes. After they stopped I was only a couple of
seconds behind Moss and well ahead of Paul, who I think stayed
out too long on his first stint.
I'd used a lot of fuel by this stage (was running at between -1
and -2 laps), so I knew I'd have to manage it for the rest of
the race, but I might still have jumped Moss in the next round
of stops, since again I'd be going in for fresh tyres earlier.
Anyway, I'm sure he'd have got back past on the options,
especially as I needed to save fuel.
Safety car ended Moss' race, and didn't really help me much. It
put Striker and Livo right behind me, with (I was guessing) more
fuel to play with. I was worried that I'd lose out to both of
them, but in the end only Livo made it past. I then almost
ruined my good race by clipping the pit wall trying to stay
close to Livo after he'd overtaken me. Got very lucky and only
ended up with minor front wing damage.
8th to 2nd was a great result, but I need to sort out my wet
weather performance. A better grid slot would have given me a
better shot at winning the race.

Glad to hear it's not because of Ben.
I can relate as I have gotten very annoyed with my disconnects.
You didn't seem to have any lag problems when we've done
practices?
Is it just on race day?

Not with everybody but yes I do have issues with lots of ppl
especially here, in another race league I had this little
incident with someone who thought I ran into him on purpose, we
both posted our videos on my view he was a car behind, and in
his view he was still ahead of me defending on the inside. We
were lagging by almost .5 of a second.
I just want a few days to clear this out of my head. Especially
Having a drama free easy win for me lol thinking it's all mine.
And I needed some points after s/s but I don't want to steal ur
thunder man congrats :)

Thanks mate. Just remember it's a FUN league. I sometimes forget
that myself thinking it's the end of the world when I get
disconnected ;D
