LOL, this was a horrible race for me, I technically died twice and only finished because of cheating
First I spun right at the start - apologies for anyone that had to deal with that, but I swear I did practice the start
And then I did exactly what I warned you about and jumped over the fence in Parabolica, only to do it later in the race again. I hate that corner on this track, there's that piece of embankment that basically catapults you over the fence there if you run wide and once you're over the fence, you can't get back in any regular way, you're stuck there - I spent several minutes today looking for a way out, but there just doesn't seem to be any.
BTW, for those wondering how I was able to rejoin the race (twice, in fact) - just as I was going to escape to pits, I remembered the game allows you to rejoin the race if it thinks you've lost connection. So I "faked" it - I disconnected my PC from the internet momentarily (well, set my firewall to not allow any traffic) while still being out "on the track" (well technically in the middle of a park somewhere, but you know what I mean). I lost connection and got booted back to launcher, so I then re-enabled my connection and was able to rejoin. I was obviously laps behind, but it still beats having to abandon the race completely, especially if you, like me tonight, end up stuck basically minutes after the start. The important thing is, though, that you have to do this before escaping to pits - once you return to pits, the game takes it as a DNF and doesn't allow you to rejoin anymore.
But it was still fun, would do it again (with better luck, hopefully). Thanks for the race!
