    Sorry guys. I have to give up the race today. I can't concentrate at racing, now.

    Wow I was out to lunch on this one. My bit of practice said my rears wouldn't last 1/2 race so I was happy with a slow pace. But in the race I noticed I was not even wearing much at all so I tried to step up pace but my rouen setup somehow was not feeling right and at 1/2 race I decided I didnt need new tires (while scratching my head).

    Ed I barely saw you during race even though timing said you were right behind me sometimes...I was scared your connection would blink you back right into me on my slow corners....maybe it did but I didnt feel it?

    I have to approve Scott's description, I noticed during the race that someone was lagging like hell. In the ranking bar below, the positions changed a lot, and I was also demoted to fourth and promoted up to third again for some seconds and no car passing me - very confusing. And when I look at my replay, then it is very hard to find a point in time when I can see Eds car.
    Therefore, I would assume no one could see Ed, while Ed saw everybody and wondered why this "sucker" hit him again and again ;)

    Good race @Nuno Rodrigues until it lasted. Annoying invisible wall for you.
    I really feared that pit entry and I should have practiced it before, therefore I lost a lot of time there. However, I think second place was the maximum because Ken was clearly faster.

    I've checked the replay and it does indeed not show Ed's car on track very much at all, apparently sitting in the pits most of the time, so it looks like it was a problem with Ed's connection. He was disappearing on me many times round the lap in practice before the race.

    Heh, I guessed Ed must've been pretty annoyed when he chatted during race :eek: Sorry for my pace and your connection Ed!:oops:

    Sorry guys. If I had known my connection was so bad, I wouldn't have raced. I'm surprised I didn't get disconnected if you guys could barely see me.
    Sorry Scott, I got next to you at one point and you knocked me off. I should have realized then that you weren't seeing me. I'm not used to having a bad connection but looking back on it now, I should have recognized what was happening. I never even checked my ping. I'll watch for it in the future

    I hope all is OK with you and your family Flaviu. Really bad situation in that part of the world right now, with Putin going crazy. Stay safe!

    What a fun car.
    Really sad not beeing able to participate previously in this series, cause its day and time not the best for me.
    Without knowing the car and track, made a few laps of practice and then cross fingers to the race.
    Great batle time with @Philipp Pichler indeed but that pitstop wall send me to DNF (after hitting the wall, i got stuck in a bump and could get away from it)
    Thanks for this one and grats to winner and all that could come racing

    Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, everyone it is fine here. But we look with great concern at the unfolding of events.
