Really strange that some had issues with lag/connectivity and others have none at all - e.g. I had no problem with Apex at all - but others seeing major lag spikes from him. I'm not sure a Euro/America split would actually fix things sadly
- wish it were possible to know what the issue actually is.
For me.. mega happy haha. I didn't have time to practice all week, only got home 10mins before Quali deadline, so had no practice prior to quali - how I stuck it on P3 and only 0.6 off Pole, with my 2nd ever flying lap, I really don't know! Thanks to the GT Academy demo for teaching me the circuit properly I guess haha.
Thankfully that magic pace came into the race too, although I think in fairness Holty was probably a couple of tenths quicker if he were in clear air. But had a fantastic battle with Holty + Apex for basically the entire race, swapping places cleanly every so often.
Every time I got into the lead I was working my butt off to keep Holty behind - if anyone wants to know how to defend at Silverstone, just watch my replay..
- was probably the biggest amount of pressure for a sustained length of time ever for me, but apparently I'm getting quite good at this 'not cracking under pressure' business now! Win today was really not what I was expecting when I logged on for Quali!!
Thanks Holty + Apex again, was a great race. In case it wasn't obvious (I think it was
), I was having major trouble with the last part of Becketts, but I made sure to lift when I ran wide there on the last lap to deter any advantage gained. Lifted across the start/finish line just to be doubly sure as well. Unlucky Holty though, looks like you were mugged on the line
