    Well that was short lived
    Qually: Despite knocking my front wing off on the out lap of my second run, my last ditch lap got me provisional pole only to have @Motors560 knock it off seconds later. Still a front row start at Monaco, what could go wrong from there?
    Race: For me there wasn't a race, @razor4797 got a good jump from P3 on my inside and as I yielded to slot in behind him I get turned into the fence and it's Game over. I'm not sure what happened behind me, wether it was lag or the whole 'Lap 1 Turn 1 briefing' going unnoticed. Disappointing.

    Maybe there's something wrong with my PS4 connection, Motors was the only one I saw lagging and even that wasn't much.

    Every stop was only for a front wing. Dunno how many you get per race. Regret pitting behind hat, should of just kept going round with bung wing. Still had a blast though.

    Well that was a shocking race but how I came 4th I do not know. Well done to Benny on a super win.

    I blew my last two runs which would have been good enough for a mid 1:12. Very disappointed to only get 4th after so much promise. The start was a disaster, @ssman244 was lagging all through qualifying and suddenly in turn 1 it was like he hit a brick wall and I hit him, sending him into the barriers. Very sorry mate. This left me with severe front wing damage which I stuck with until the VSC a lap later. Not out of the game but still a long way behind.

    I caught Knuckles on lap 10 but I stupidly hit the Tabac wall, necessitaing another wing change. The first safety car came out which was a relief, except Bryan passed me just before we went green which I was mega pissed about and it cost me a huge amount of time. (From the OP: "Passing under the Safety Car is not permitted. If you pass a car under SC and are not prompted to return the place, you must return the position when the race returns to green unless a pit stop occurs. Penalties will apply.")

    The race resumed and I was not given the place back, so Knuckles and co took off. It was not nice trying to pass when the line of defence seemed to be moving all over the place so I had to get elbows out. A botched pass let Benny through, and watching them two battle I thought there was going to be carnage. Eventually we both got past and another safety car! And this was the moment my race, just as it was looking good, turned to disaster.

    For some reason at Mirabeau Hat came pretty much to a dead stop while the safety car was already rounding the Loews hairpin. I wasn't expecting it and yep, another broken front wing. I should have stuck with the damage as I might have been on the podium otherwise. My plan to run to the end on softs didn't last long as I got a puncture brushing the wall. Luck really has deserted me at this place. SS could still make it so I put them on, praying for another safety car, which despite many further retirements, never happened. Of course.

    Come lap 43 it was me vs Bryan Round 2 and I wasn't holding back this time. For 8 laps I was stuck behind until I pulled a sweet move around the outside of Ste Devote, to many yahoos and whistles of delight. I caught Hatfield pretty quickly and then he lost it at the Swimming Pool, losing his entire front wing. I passed him but to my utter disbelief he fights, doesn't pit and puts me in the wall twice, also giving me front wing damage. Things couldn't possible get any worse from here. I had to keep going as the damage despite being orange was still drivable. In fact I wasn't losing any time to 3rd place. Hat was naturally much slower with no front wing so I pushed for a gap to come in for ultras and a new wing in case my beloved VSC or SC came. My hand was dealt on lap 73 though as yet another puncture hit me and I came in.

    Benny was only 20 seconds ahead when I got past Hat so the time I was losing was magnified by the fact he lapped me as I made my stop. Blacko managed to pass me so it was a sprint to the end. I caught him within 2 laps and thankfully he put up less of a fight than Bryan or Hat did. One of the hardest fought 4th places I've ever earned. A wasted opportunity but still, I'm happy to score points when so many didn't. Huge congrats to @Jurassic Mark as well for finishing the race and finishing well! There were a great deal of quality drivers you beat today mate, fantastic effort. Well done to the podium as well.

    Looking forward to Catalunya very much.

    2 races in a row where my lack of concentration has cost me points. Last week i jumped the start, and then this week I loaded up my Monza Wet setup instead of my Monaco setup!! :poop::mad::mad:

    Running with aero at 2 on the rear means my car was setup on the total opposite end of the spectrum from where it was meant to be. not only did this kill my speed, but also meant i was basically drifting through the whole section from the tunnel, to the finish line. it was bound to end up in a wall eventually.

    seems im gonna have to actually do some practice mid week, and maybe double check a few things prior to leaving the pits in qualy. Gonna have to get a lot of good results in a row to even try and get back to somewhere decent in the championship.

    on a positive note, Spain next, which is my favourite track by far! so looking forward to hitting the track again, hopefully with the right settings this time.

    Congratz to @its-benny-racer on the win mate. Winning at Monaco is an awesome achievement, so well done mate. Also well done to the rest of the podium, and to everyone that made it the whole distance. quite an effort, so Kudos to you all.

    lol wut



    Messed up my second qually run but happy to start 9th. Started well to avoid carnage but did damage front wing slightly. Pit the next lap under VSC for the new wing and ran those US tyres until lap 42 (they were at 56%)
    Threw on the SS and was circulating until a big moment and I lose the front wing. No matter, this is monaco.
    Jono tries to get passed a few times and then finally does it which ends with me facing the wall.
    Was hoping I could hold blacko until the end but when benny came around to lap, blacko did the wise thing and followed him through... and then I t-boned benny! luckily he didn't get damaged.

    Still happy with 6th and the fact I finished the race!

    The reason I overtook you under safety car was because your car had ghosted and labeled as controlled by AI, so the game told me to stay behind the next car in front. If I misinterpreted the situation or your briefing, I'm sorry.

    yeah, it will say that when you pause the game. If he had disconnected, (Red X instead of AI) it would have been ok

    @Bryan_F It's all good mate, that's something they need to fix for the next game, you shouldn't be punished for have a look at the Race Director lol.

    Next time though (for everyone) that if you do pass someone when behind the safety car make sure to let them back through.
