As I said, I had some incidents in this race.
1 - Lap 1, T1, with Jose Casanovas. I hited his car from behind, and now I think I know why: I think he trashed his engine before t1, was so slow... and i couldn't avoid him.
2- Lap 4, T1, with Michał Mazurek. We touched... could not see he was so near in my camera view (didn't see his car until my spin).
3 - Lap 39, with Nick Phillips. He came very fast from the left side (could not see him - when i did was too late).

Incident 1 and 3: I thought that maybe the fault was mine, that's why, to be safe, I did two drive trough in the end of the race

Incident 2: I thought Michal had the blame.

Incidents 2 and 3: Funny, I run with triples and the view angle from my car and the view angle from outside the camera are very very different. In my view, they are both racing incidents

Cheers all!

Jose Casanovas did indeed blow his engine before T1 and slowed down on the apex. I can understand that no one expected him slowing to slow down there. I'm not surprised there was an incident because of it.

That was a fun first race of the series. I could only join during qualifying because of the password drama. I had to quickly set up my mic to ask around in teamspeak, but I hadn't used it in forever and something wasn't working, but big thanks to Barret Erickson for reacting to the chat and letting me know the race pw just in time to make it

I had done my practice beforehand to judge the different cars in the mod, so joining late wasn't a problem. I was in a slightly pissed mood in q which I think helped with the laptime actually

Race was smoother then expected, only one small off-track excursion somewhere towards the end.
I think Michal did very good with the Ligier here. I initially wanted to take that car too; but when I matched the laptime with the Williams in practice after just 3 laps and still had less tirewear doing so, I chickened out and took the safer option

Yeah Dino, sorry about the password thing. It was a software clitch and it's fixed now. The password was entered by Nigel Middelton, but didn't show for members. First time that happend since instalment. Weird.
I didn't notice you being pissed by the way, except for lapping everyone but yourself

Jose was the first casualty of the race in the Renault .. T 1

Darien Was the 2nd also in the Renault ..
I believe Darien had rear damage from some earlier contact that was out of his control ..

The YouTube video will be ready next weekend, maybe sooner. I'm a bit short on time right now and making a video is a lot of work

Nick Phillips · Nov 14, 2017

Enjoyed the race, even if the result at the end was poor.
Paulo, I looked again and said racing incident myself, I got up your left hand side as you were slower out of the previous corner, but I just caught the inside kerb which kicked me right and with you still there turned me round. No problem.

Apologised by PM to Barrett for wrecking his race as I crawled back to the pits, but apart from that it was good fun, look forward to the future races.
