    Was a bit dull. Flat-spotted my tyres early on which took the front left to 5% after just a handful of laps. The brakes didn't work all race and the car felt different to practice, so times were about 1 second slower than average. Couldn't really race wheel to wheel because the server was crapping itself with lag when that happened. Congrats to the rest of the podium.

    At the start, there were crashed cars in the first chicane. When I tried to go round them, I got spun around by a car getting back up to speed. That destroyed my tyres and front suspension. After my scheduled pitstop, everything was repaired and I had fresh tyres. Then it was good fun pushing the car to its limit and I enjoyed myself. It's a fun mod to drive.

    My first Automobilista 2 race ever and it did not go quite to plan, feeling is very different to RF2 and still getting used to this sim.

    sorry to Clarke who I ran into the back of after outbraking myself, did a drive through on the same lap as penance.

    Did not really have the ideal pace and ended up in no mans land, still some more work to do to understand how the setup changes work in this sim.

    Very kind of you John to let me through, I can understand if you did not want to fight and lose time.

    Grats to the Winner.

    haha thanks Gilles :D I think I had a duff engine today, as I had no drive off teh line at the start and after my pit stop. Both times I finally managed to get drive by going into reverse first, At the start it took me several laps to work that out. I have no idea why it did this.

    Yeah, shout out to Neil for keeping us entertained with just 6 cars for most of the race.

    For Automobilista 2 you would think that this car set Formula Edge would be a bit "arcadish", but these cars are very much on the sim side IMO. I am experiencing a good contact to the road and you have to drive the car with respect or it will bite you. Anyway ...

    Big congrats to @Davide Ricciardi for the win. It was dominant!!
    He was away for a few years, but he came out of the gate swinging and took no prisoners. Good to see you again, buddy!

    Also impressive was @Maddie Shepherd, who still finished third after doing 2 pitstops!
    I was also impressed with @Roman Granatovich, who took second in a Model3 car, LOL! That was a good one.
    @Nick Westy had to do a drive-through and still came in fourth. Also pretty good!
