Sorry again for bumping into Bossy (2nd heat) and Zombie (3rd heat). Just HORRIBLE driving on my side, there's no excuse. And as a bonus I noticed on the replay that I also forced myself a bit into CrusadeR32 in last heat while on the inside of last corner.
I just hope I didn't upset you guys too much and I'll definitely tone down the aggressivity before next week.

What a first Sunday!
First race was really good for me. All worked well and I could hold my position. I could see the cars in front of me, behind me not. Thats a compfortable situation. Could make it to place 8 so the reverse grid was mine. Second race was very nice, too. I could stand the first place for some time, that was great. Then, as I expected and as it had to come, I had to give numbers to the faster ones! But this defence fighting was fun. Sorry, Sven for the hard knock in T1, I expected just one car in the inner side, but it suddenly were two. Made it to the middle of top ten. Third and last race was nice, too. Only the big big accident in the first lap ruind my finishing position. It was a great start for me, but then everything went wrong. I just did not knew were to go at some time. In t1 there was a doubleknock (left S4bin, right hax), that made me really nervous, because I did not want to mess things up. Two corners later I went the middle of the road, left bump with zombie. I thought to myself, hey give him space. So I went wide in the next corner, too wide because of two reasons. First my car got on the corner out a tiny drift, which made my car come to the middle of the road again. Second edtheshred took his chance to take my mistake as an invitation for overtaking. On the exit we bumped. Luckily he could go on, but man, that bump gave me a drill! I could not do anything to prevent any further contact. I really feel sorry for Tux, he was catapulted out of the track and spawned in the box. Thats really bad and I saw this later in the replay. Sorry, Tux! Thats a futher lesson for me, but still do not know how get out of such trouble! Maybe XP will make it with time. So, you see a good Sunday for me, with good races, good fights and a bad accident with a lot of XP. See you! Jamiri

No worries Jamiri, it was a racing incident. It happens to us all once in a while.
I must confess though, that I felt mildly sick after the game had finished spinning me around!

I can see in the replay it was not intentional, looked like you went a bit too deep before braking and couldn't avoid me. Race 2 was annoying though, I lead for the majority of it to then bump with Sven on the last lap. The replay didn't save for me so I cant see exactly what happened, it must have been the slightest of contacts as I'm sure I was past enough not to hit - I was turning into the corner so it may have been my error not leaving enough room. Pretty good start to the season, with very close racing and hard fought battles.

Was a very mixed night for me.
Race 1 I seemed to be doing ok and making progress, with DeLof breathing down my neck for a few laps, when game crashed on me Race 2 I had nowhere to go at the 1st corner shenanigans, hit Offcorsa from behind, tried to wait for him, only to see him get hit by another Alfa, so decided to crack on as, technically I didn't actually cause him to lose out. (I believe he hit someone and I hit him?) Managed to bring it home in 10th I think. Race 3 I got bumped off by gerldflysa I think (although I don't think there was any malice in it), and then shortly after re-joining, had some door rubbing with a black Exige - NRTH? Now I have only seen a very quick glimpse of the replay, but it looks like a coming together with minimal contact and purely a racing incident? Not sure how you view it NRTH? Result was after taking advantage of others errors, I somehow brought home 5th, with most of the latter part of the race keeping Jonah behind me - props to you JH; great racing

Yeah, it was a case of you running a bit wide, I thought that was too much, went on the inside, got aside you, then you turned in again. I see you just take a different line through that corner all the time. I keep to the inside all the time on this corner where you turn in much later. To be honest I've never seen someone take that line through that corner, and it was my first lap really close to you. I thought "you run wide, so leave me space", but you took your own line you took all the time. What happened happened, I waited.. Glad we got back a few spots easily

Good racing all. Sorry to jamiri for the bump in heat 3. After watching the replay, it goes down as a racing incident for me. I left plenty room in the exit, but you were not using the full width of the track and as i exited the corner, I came across you. If you had gone with the racing line, I think no collision would happen...
But like you said, your small drift took you inside slightly, so I don't need to tell you this! Apart from that, good first race. Doesn't help missing q1 and heat1 lol but to get up to 4th was good!

This was a Sunday-evening to forget.
After a bad qualify, where I was 1 second to slow we had to start race 1. Nice clean start, gained 5 places after 2 corners and could pick up de the pace quite well. Then I see Off-Corsa coming in my rearmirror. I did thought "Don't make mistakes, keep on driving. You can make it in the last 2, 3 laps." And what did I, making the multiple mistake, losing about 0,5 to 0,8 of a sec per round. And it was bye bye off corsa. Okay, finishing 11th was ok. Race 2. Bad start, I think I bumped someone, did wait and was after lap 1 last. Trying to get back and then I made mistake after mistake. Shifting back to early in the corner, so multiple spins. Finishing last. Race 3. It only could getting better. I Thought. Lap 1 or 2, have to watch the replay again. I got a doorscratch from Mr Chip. Spun and never got back into the race. I'm only not last because DeLof & TuxMcBae entered the pits early in the race, but it was a disaster. After a bad night of sleep, was it the race or the musquitos today the sun is shining again and looking forward to next Sunday.

So much of that tale sounds familiar NRTH! I always feel the pressure when someone is behind me, regardless of whether they are applying pressure or not. lol
Glad I could help out in the final round and save you from the dreaded last place!

Really appreciate that!
