I just barely join the server in time, with almost no practice at all, but it was worth it.
Thanks to the gentlemen that recomended lower the car and stiff the suspension, that helped a lot to keep the car on control and much more consistent through the race. Reviewing back, I did not qualify that wrong at all, but I was on my personal best on the last lap until I ran wide on parabolica. For race I did just some small setup fixes that improved the car for race.
Start was good, but was not focused in gaining positions but more in survive the unevitable first lap carnage. I was very careful to pass the critial part, and after that was just a matter of keeping the car out of trouble. Lap after lap I was improving my time. I lost time on some laps were I had to avoid a spun car or a crash site. I did only one mistake running wide on Parabolica, that placed me on 8 position after being in 5. Slowly I recovered places and suddenly I was behind Akis on second position. I could not match his pace, but was not too far away from it, and I am quiet happy to finish in 2d after starting at 14. I had a nice battle with Cayd Breslin switching places many times.
There are still some overdriving moves, but is getting better.
Thanks all for such a good race.
