My solidarity with @SimRacing604. The simracing community should not tolerate the false accusations from the SimDream developers to silence the discussion about modding, original content, and unethical sales practices. I hope this ends up well and fairly for Mike.

The race yesterday was flawless and very intense despite the apparent calm at times. Even if there were not many drivers, the likelihood of getting embroiled in a big accident that, without double yellows and SC, would give the advantage to those unaffected in front was big. But everyone behaved and, even if there were a few crashes, nothing major developed to undo the race.

Started in pole after a SB time in qualy (that latter on Denis improved during the warm-up!).
I got a 1.7 secs advantage in the first few laps but Caitlin wasn't prepared to give up and did a terrific first stint to get on comfortably on P1. I was worried with the tyres' wear as doing more than 1 pitstop didn't look effective. After 10 laps the car was quite loose and it needed to last for another 50 or so. I decided to keep my distance with Caitlin as running too close was challenging on the turns. 1 to 1.5 secs distance looked safe and I got to think on strategies for the win .

Caitlin's stopped earlier than I thought and I changed strategy, following her into pits, to mirror her as she was the one to watch at that stage in the race. We both reached the pit entry at the limit of speed. I was probably transitioning into the 80km/h limit as I was crossing the line (avoiding the dreaded Stop & Go) but Caitlin was just over it... We left pits with the same diff we entered in but Caitlin had to enter again... That was key for the rest of the race.

I found myself soon running in P1 with 1 lap advantage over the rest and Caitlin just behind. She did unlapped herself and recovered part of the lost time but I could keep her in line of sight whilst managing the race and win until the end.

I had a great time, very intense, and a terrible pain in the neck at the end of the race.

Congrats to Caitlin for the great challenge and race and the rest of the podium.

Enjoy!
