what a night....well done guys for what looked like a pretty clean run....
Had done a heap of prac, in the hope to be in the mid pack....or possibly a bit better....tire life seemed pretty good and was running high 13s pretty consistantly.
When i set the room up i had no FFB on my wheel.....reset everything and wasnt sure if it was the game or just me but couldnt get a lap time at all......Qual started and i was .7 off my pb and didnt even look like cracking a 13....Started last
race went green and i almost collected someone off the line but settled in at the back of the train, hoping the grip would come to me.....nothing........in the prac runs i had, i was able to get up to lap 19 with between 55-60% left on the front left, but by lap 13 i was already at 56%....i battled on to lap 18, where i was at 45%
After the pit i was running laps on my own and was understeering off everywhere....exit of turn 2 the thing wouldnt grip up and my pace was terrible.....apologies to
@zuluwoffle and the other 2 guys i nearly collected with about 8 to go....again, no grip on the exit of 1 and i ended up collecting tumbleweed in the outfield.....my attempt to stay right on returning to the track was blown open by the hill that runs down....so i booted it to try to get out of everyones way.
With 4 to go i actually let
@Zharvs92 through on the back straight to check i had the correct tires on, the grip and wear was so bad, pitted again with 3 to go, and even with no fuel, and new tires i couldnt pull a 13....got me absolutely buggered why it never showed up like that in the prac races i did...
Anyway, off to the green hell this week.......will have to sort out what we do with the qual......might do something different with it but a 20 min qual is a pain in the arse...especially when a cut track or barrier hit kills the lap anyway.....maybe a rolling start with reverse grid for the top 4 drivers.......the others line up in champ order and go for it on the exit of the right hander after the first straight ? or we all just go in champ order and go from the start of the first straight ? Will save some time
