Well guys, first of all I want to appologise for any erratic behavior on my part last sunday. I dont think I ruined anyones race or caused any damage, I just felt all over the place so sorry if you got amongst it
Short story is I had a headache from hell. In hindsight I should of just sat this one out and spectated. To be fair though I was on the pace, if not setting it while my tyres were at their optimum, however once the tyres started to give way I just didnt have the capacity to deal with it that night. Very disappointed as I'd really looked forward to the SLS
I absolutely love driving the wheels off that thing!
One thing I want to touch on from those races too is the fact people were going the distance on one set of tyres. It certainly wasnt possible for me for the reasons I already mentioned, but running at the back of the pack highlighted a short coming in my opinion. While I dont take anything away from people not stopping for tyres, (it takes a lot of skill and concentration), the artificial lead they aquire is often too much to overcome in these short races we do. For example pit entry and exit is roughly 30 seconds. Even if the leader dropped 2 seconds per lap, with 10ish laps left to race there's just no way to beat them.
On sunday I also had one race where I made a mistake and damaged my car. Once again after pitting there was no way, barr any mistakes by the leaders, to bridge that gap. Of course this was my own error, but I got to thinking that this could of been a race incident and no fault of my own.
So to conclude;
to prevent artificial leads, and to stop damaged drivers having zero chance after pitting, Pitstops are now mandatory unless otherwise stated.
You will be able to see which races have forced pit stops in the current criteria section đź‘Ť
Right!.. On to round eleven! This time I'm bringing lots of pain killers with me
