| 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 :) | |

| that myself thinking it's the end of the world when I get | |
| disconnected ;D | |
