Hmm It was difficult race for me, for sure... Its strange because in the beginning of lap 2 at T1 i brake earlier to avoid contact and to attack edco psychically to make mistake... but in the video shows a contact :o never mind it was a good comeback from second to fourth to second. Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to catch edco at my final stint.
Here is almost the full race and qually... My phones battery died at the end.
 
Preparations for the race didn't go as planned. I only tried three setups that were pretty similar, and I was getting used to F1 2013 controls again after a few weeks on other games. Nevertheless, qualifying went okay. I was 4th, eight tenths of a second behind Mark on pole. I was expecting another race where I'd be in the void between the front runners and the mid field. So I went to open steam to tell Chicane this, and that was the end of the race for me. It was like the overlay failed to initialized, because I was given mouse controls and couldn't control F1 2013, but there was no overlay there. Nothing I did could solve the issue, so I had no choice but to pull out.

I'm not too bothered, but I do kinda like Singapore. Oh well. Have fun, guys, and see you in India! Video soon, but it doesn't show much of the issue at the end.

I don't recall any contact in T1 either. Endr's video also shows a contact. Nvm.

I took the first (lucky) win of the season last night. Unfortunately, I will not get a chance to repeat it next week, as I will be missing the race, but by the looks of things I'm safely 2nd behind Endr in the F2 championship.

Race Report:

Q: I was one of the last guys to go out for a final hot lap. First sector was purple, 2nd I lost a few hunrdets to Fair Play and in the last sector I gained those couple of hundrets to place my RB on pole. All in all well done to all racers, as 9 of 11 were within 1 second of each other in qualifying.

R: I was lucky that Fair Play was involved in an incident in lap 3 or so. Though I managed to maintain the gap, he was on primes and could keep up very nicely and I knew I'd be in trouble when he'll be on options in the last stint and I'll be on primes. That incident probably cost him the win and gave me the chance in an otherwise thrilling race in terms of strategy and "long distance" fights, to take my first win of this season. Well, that and my almost flawless and for me untypically consistan racing :p

It's been a great season with you guys and I'm looking forward to the race of champions in two weeks time.
 
Delay between Q and R was indeed due to Kris trying to fix the problem.

Furthermore interesting race. Could follow Starplayer in the first stint, and hold position vs Kirennian. Then Starplayer and me both went for primes, but Starplayer managed to drive away from me with ease. Kirennian also did a better job on the primes, applying way more pressure in the 2nd stint. I went to the pits first, for a set of options, and Kirennian converted to a 2 stop. That made me decide to stretch the 3rd stint a bit and do the final stint on options as well. In the end I was catching but then my supersofts were falling off the cliff hard. In a final attempt to attack Kirennian I went beyond the limits of the tyres and my steering skills and drove in the wall. Gap to P4 was big enough to drive the last 500 meters slowly to the finish.
 
Pole Sitter: Frede

What are your thoughts on the circuit and what is your target for the race? Its gonna be a tough race, i really struggled in malaysia for some reason and i would really be happy to get in top 5, its hard but not impossile

What is the dynamic between you and your teammate like?

I love alistair and we now have the opportunity to further grow this love and i think its been good, on track and off track as well ;)

Will Jamie quit? he can if he wants to

Ask Alex and Ash a question. When was the first time you guys kissed.
