Was fun today. A few incidents, but all in all ok I think. H1 was not so good for me, tapped Urlauber who slowed down a bit too much, and I had nothing to do, hit the brakes mid corner and just oversteered. Finished 9th. Then started 9th in H2 and managed to finish 7th. Was a bit shaken by the L1 T3 incident where i had to brake almost to a stop, and a few cars just flew by. Had a bit of paint traded with Jonah, but we were lucky to be able to keep it on track. H3 was ok, was chasing Dimavika, managed to get aside. Unfortunately understeered a bit and messed up things a bit. Otherwise it would have been a pretty close 4some there.. Ended up with Sven chasing me for half a heat, and screwed up in the second to last lap due to some weird weight shifting and finished 2nd behind him.

For me it was brilliant, apart from some collisions with Dima, but I think that's sorted now..?
In quali I felt quite a bit slower than the other pro division boys, but tried to brag my way out of it In the races I often managed to get good laps only when there was a "tow truck" ahead. On my own I was barely scraping the 1:51's at times, but once in a bit of slipstream everything went better. Some battles ahead helped me into third in heat 1, where in heat two I quickly got the better of some poor top-end-struggling cars on the back straight. I also did a brilliant slight brake when I saw the timer would probably hit zero before I crossed the line and therefore end the race after 8 laps instead of 9. That was me Heat 3 again was interesting. The, probably unintend(?), block by S4b1n and Dimavika down the back straight was brilliant, especially combined with the voice chat from Ed (Mustang is fast yolo) and S4b1n (but can't get past, bitches). Dammit. Shame S4b1n didn't keep it together, as I would probably have had one hell of a race trying to get the better of him, with him constantly defending the inside line on the back straight. Was helped a lot by the big boys falling back, but the legend keeps on living.. breathing, ehh, whatever. The differences of the cars (Mustang vs. the others) showed again, so plz be nice when on my back (or fragmonkey's), we have to brake early

This track is dangerous, it's in its nature! Really fun race today.
Quali really could've gone either way today between Dimavika and me. He got a lap ~.3 faster than me, i figured there was no way, but then final lap managed to get pole by .01 lolwtf Heat 1 was chillin Heat 2 started 8th, chip lost it into the long hairpin turn and took bumped me a bit so a gap was made to a few cars ahead. I battled past zombie, caught and passed frag on his own, then in a group was urlauber, bossy and offcorsa all fighting for 2nd, so I thought I'd get stuck in as well lol. finished 3rd Heat 3 was hectic! the mustang is really good on the straight. sven was behind and i figured i have to take a really deep line into the back straight to get the best speed, it was ok the first time I just had to take the inside for the braking zone. 2nd time, I went too deep and lost the position. We caught sabin and dima and through the windy bit sven and dima came together. I got to the inside of dima for the next corner, but he tightened up to the apex. I figure he didn't know I was there. We ended up right in the middle of zombie, minder, offcorsa and urlauber, was an awesome 6 car battle!! I had a great battle with zombie, gr man. Not this time picked up one place when dima was taken out, and one more when offcorsa decided to give the place back. Kudos to offcorsa for that, good to see the cosy I said at beginning this track is dangerous, we can see why. The windy corners mean there are many chances for mistakes and opportunities, especially when the racing is so close. And that's what makes for fun races! That battle with zombie was so good and that's why we do this sick race

Had a nightmare just before starting with pedals and then headset not being recognised/dinging back on/off every few secs. Turns out new(ish) Bluetooth headset killed sound to everything whenever I entered discord?!! Also seemed to be affecting pedals - wry bizarre.
Got going right at end of qualifying so H1 was just a steady drive round making sure it was all working. H2 was a clusterfuck at the start - gave S4b1n room on run down to T3, but somehow the Z4 decided to bite me at the worst possible time, and send me onto the grass where I couldn’t do anything but get sent through the corner- apologies to whoever I hit, Ed and MinDer at least I think. As I wasn’t in discord I couldn’t apologise/warn anyone at the time :-( H3 was great fun though - great scrap with Fragmonkey almost the entire race, but DAMN that Mustang power! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uEb8GdBxBng" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

pretty good night for me. had some good hard close racing/chasing. Ed, Urlauber, Bossy, and some others.
near the end of the last race I closed up to Dima and had gone aside and backed off a few times, trying to get around him. got beside him again and was there for a few corners. We touched and good results for both were out the window. sorry Dima. I was the one trying to get by so should be me takes the blame.

Well that was a frantic evening's racing! Race 2 didn't go so well but 1 and 3 were awesome.
I've uploaded a reply of mine and Ed's epic battle in race 3.
