Hi @Nigel Middleton Can't see the password in "championship" page. Please help Sorry, few "refresh" and it is here
Gutted and exhausted after that race. I took the lead after a good start (plus some goodwill from Fahn) and hold it until lap 18, Fahn was clearly faster so it was only a matter of time. I thought my tyre conservation was good enough to avoid a stop but with 10 minutes to go my left front tyre was down. (The HUD showed only a red line left, the other three would have made it) I dared to risk it and went for a stop. Got back on track in P4 with 24 secs to third, catched up as far as the gap was at 8 secs. Maybe with a stop ten laps earlier the podium was possible. Some visual impressions Ken had a strange crash and Flaviu pitted twice (maybe speeding?) Oh and a qestion to the guys with zero stops, any idea how much of the HUD "lines" did your left tyre had at the finish line?
My feelings exactly At start Ken pass me and then for few laps (until his crash) we had a good time . Then with Barrett behind me I tried to make a safe race, with no major mistake and with some tires management. I didn't succeed neither one . With 20 minutes remaining I decide to pit for tires change, than (you are right Philipp) I get a penalty "stop and go", I entered to do it then get another one "drive through" this time, and by mistake I pited again (another tires change) and for the fourth time on the pit lane I did a "drive through". All this took me from 3rd to 7th. Meanwhile I have lost all my focus an just want to finish the race. This is something I want to forget ASAP
I was running in 3rd comfortably, saving the tyres for later in the race but with my T300 Ferrari wheel paddles, it's possible to change gear up/down with either of the two paddles and I caught it with my finger going into the first esses which down-changed to 2nd putting me off-track and into the Marshall's Post. Damage needed a 121 sec pit stop!! to repair. Not much I could do after that.
