Oh man that was frustrating! Wasn't doing too bad up until I was about to get overtaken by @Sun Levi at which point I went off and got some damage. Carried on for another lap and went off at the same corner! (Second to last corner) So I pitted, sorted my damage and tires out, put way too much fuel in and out I went. 3 laps later crashed into the same corner!! And again the next lap!
So after yet another pitstop, I came out a lap behind and basically just held station there. Very annoying because I think I was fast enough to be racing @Sniper and possibly @El-ahrairah throughout the race.
