A very enjoyable race and my most consistent one without any spins and maybe 1 off-track!
With my wheelstand sliding all around in the last 20 minutes of the previous race, I knew I had to do something about that if I wanted to partake in the next races. You guys gave some great tips and I ended up buying a grippy rubber mat to put my stand on. Mission successful as my stand hasn't moved a millimeter since I got it. Here's a link if anyone is interested:

So, I'll have to admit I'm somewhat of an idiot... When I first joined you guys, I set up all my controls, set up autoblip and autoclutch, etc. But apparently you have to set the assists on the SERVER as well! So for the first 3 races I have been fighting to keep my car on the road, wondering why I have less issues when driving on my own... Thanks for the tip Carsten!
The first few corners were kinda scary with some people going 3 or 4 cars wide into them, but it seems to have gone pretty well apart from Paulo spinning off in the first corner again. I feel sorry for him and hope he will have a better start next time around.
After the first few laps seeing people crash around me, I found myself trying to keep up with Han. He kept on growing the gap between us, but I think after a while I finally found the same pace. Couldn't get closer to him though, so we'll have to revisit this fight the next race. I'll get you some day, Han!
Unfortunately, this race wasn't without any incidents. In lap 6 I completely missed the braking point for the last corner, went into the grass and exited the corner very slowly. I saw
@stigs2cousin and
@Snake3rd fighting behind me. They were rapidly closing the gap between me and them so I decided to stick on the right. When Daryl tried passing me, he bumped into me, spun off and hit Carsten as well. I felt terrible seeing you guys spin off and wondered if it was my fault. I was quite sure I gave you guys enough room to pass me.
After watching the replay endless times it dawned on me that I was the one who bumped into Daryl after slowly drifting to the left. Well... That was definitely a learning moment for me. I wholeheartedly take the blame for that, although I also saw Carsten moving a cars width to the right, essentially hamburgering Daryl between us. I think Daryl is least to blame since he couldn't really go anywhere else.
