blew up my engine on pits, think i found a bug too:
i switched to take full tank cause the estimate dint count it very well...so
had full tank allready but it just kept on fueling to the time it said when entering
my spot on pits.
so guess it didnt count the amount of fuel i had in tank or sometin?
or it could be that htey changed rear tyres still, cant tell, was drinkin again
but think the tyre counter was gone allrady thou. not 100% about this.

track had issues with pit-spots. awsome to drive thou.

Once again another fun filled event in these little Abarth's. I'm slowly getting the hang of rF but plenty to learn still.

Qualified ok in the middle of the pack, as usual.

Completely botched the start (again ) and dropped to last. Unfortunately exiting the second part of the chicane, at full throttle, Theo spun sideways right in front and I T-boned him badly. Sorry mate, I had nowhere to go and it's amazing how large an Abarth can look from that close. After taking forever to recover, I was a long way behind but Theo waited for me so we had some nice racing for a few laps. After passing Theo, the race was pretty lonely, but I was catching the field fairly quickly, finally getting on the tail of Patrick, expecting another of our epic struggles. However, he soon decided to disappear in a cloud of smoke ( looked spectacular lol). Obviously everyone was pitting earlier than me, because I found myself in the lead for a few laps.
I also managed to muck up the pitstop. Didn't know how much fuel usage was going, nor tyre wear, so filled it up again and changed tyres. Big mistake, it took an eternity, and I finished the race with excellent tyres and heaps of fuel. I actually managed to unlap myself by passing Olly towards the end though. Finally finished P4.

Grats to Olly for the win.


Great fun, I'll be back for more of this.

Well, I had the honour of blowing it the first, from leader position... Oh well, I was kinda asking for it with max revs, though I had the radiator on 4.

I was fun battling with Toni, who was constantly stalking me. Could have been a nice fight. Too bad I blew it, literally. :becky:

 

[Toni Talvitie]

atleast we both went out with a blast!
