Yeah great fun last night, I really enjoyed it. Thanks to all for the races.
My report from an amateurs perspective at the back of the field.
R1 - Turned up late so missed first qualy session and started from the back with no warmup. Light drizzle and darkening skies reminding me of home (England!) turned to black clouds and heavy rain as we rolled out around T1 and onto the downhill straight towards Eau Rouge for green lights and go! go! go!. Managed to gain 4 places along Kemmel and at the right-left-right following it as everyone began to struggle with the lack of grip and my caution paid off. Sad to see some spins and contact so early, but I got my head down and concentrated on keeping the car on track. Went into the pits for a change to wet tyres figuring if Andy was going in, it was probably a good idea. Came out in 11th position but over the ensuing laps many span out, crashed or gave up time on slicks and I managed 5th position, with only one spin myself coming out of Pouhon and creating a massive flat spot on my left front. Felt like I had a square tyre for the rest of the race. Side benefit of the round - my sphincter muscle is incredibly strong now after such a workout going over that big puddle at the start of the Kemmel straight.
R2 - Mucking about with set-up and didn't qualify so started 9th. Fairly uneventful race for me and I was very happy to drive at 90% and avoid incidents - except one right at the start with I'm not sure who. I was coming through Blainchiment, taking it flat and whoever it was in front of me had a big lift, so I was forced to go outside and off track. Managed to hold it but coming back on I think I got too close and caused them to bin it. In hindsight I should have stayed back and lifted too - very sorry to whoever that was - I have learned another lesson. Finished 4th in the end.
I didn't earn either position on pace but I'm happy with both as for me, keeping it on track and reasonably smooth with minimal incidents it my goal as I get to grips with all this.
Missed race 3 as I had to work early today.
@Rolz my discord did that two nights ago, I think there is a bug in the latest update.
