Slot 1: I was feeling rather slow in FP, so I wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise I qualified 6th with a 13.9. I held that position until the left-hander at the very "top" of the course on the track map (I forgot the name, but it's the one that leads onto the curvy flat-out section before the carousel). The car behind me braked way too late and punted me off. Fortunately I didn't spin, but I was down to P10 briefly before I repassed the car who'd punted me as he waited for me to go back by. I was a little annoyed, but mistakes happen (I should know...). Later on in the lap, someone else went off and I was back up to P8, which is where I stayed for most of the rest of the race. It rained in the middle of Lap 3, but it was only a single thin band and never wet the track enough to cause too much concern. Somewhere along the way,
@Geauxgreddy's game apparently froze again (I assume, judging by the way the car was acting from the replay), then on the final lap, the leader's game froze just before Flugplatz. The leader's misfortune promoted me up to 7th, then someone running off track later in the lap gave me 6th. I then threw it away all on my own by needlessly clipping a curb on the "back stretch" and spinning myself. That put me back down to P8 once again, until the Jag I had been trying to pass for 5th earlier that lap also spun towards the end, so I crossed the line 7th. Without my needless mistake, I was looking at 5th and 260 points. Instead I ended up with 7th and 234, which is decent, especially at a track I'm actually rather slow around, but what could've been... Still, I'm not going again, especially because I'd only have 1 more attempt at it apparently (the game was still only showing 4 slots available instead of 5, and with there only being time to do every other slot due to how long the races are, that means I'd only be able to do Slot 3 and miss Slot 4, with Slot 5 apparently not being an option for me...).
Sidenote, there were about 5 separate instances where someone went off track several positions in front of me, only for me to catch their slow cars as they got back up to speed at the worst possible parts of the track so that I couldn't overtake. Every time, the car that was just in front of me was able to squeak by, but once I caught up to the recovering car, there was no room left for me to attempt a pass.
it would be an outstanding achievement on my part..................
