I'd love to now know which driver this was, and get some proof of it.

It was me. Very difficult to pass some cars round here. Nissans are "easy" but the rest are not. You need a tow to do it, and if the other guy has a tow then you can't pass.
I'm sure it was the same for everyone (unless you drove a Nissan then sucks to be you).
Edit: Remember how you gave me a little tap into Parabolica after I got alongside you after a tow? Or is getting alongside OP now?

Err. Cars are faster but were not in tonight (Honda?)
Discussing from our Pms testing pre season with @FordMKIVJ5 @paulmac2k9 @Spurgy 777
Volvo prior to cut to 360hp.
Well if it's not fastest anymore even in the straights to be fair which was about one of the only strengths it had. (volvo)

Personally I think that the Nissan at 345BHP is around 5BHP down on what it should be as everything else just drives past it in a straight line while the cornering edge it had has been negated with the introduction of suspension and LSD tuning as this allows the drivers of other cars to tune their cars to be able to go around corners as fast as the RWD. But this is my opinion and may not be shared across the grid

To @hsv, the contact with @snowgt was in the middle of the Parabolica. The first picture basically shows my POV where I just see you. It was your decision to nearly stop that caused the track to be blocked. The second picture was the result of that. Instead of one guy being mad at you, now you got 5.

Ryan left me a PM saying he will be back in 2/3 years when he is "mature" (his quote not mine).

I thought it was a different driver. And it was really nice getting swarmed by FFs and then getting punted off. Like you guys couldn't have taken me on the next straight.Aha, that one... Been told since then I should have punted Skeng off for being an idiot...

Race 1 was the best I could hope for in Monza. Didn't think I would be close to a podium.
In Race 2 I made a stupid mistake trying to overtake Furi into Ascari instead of waiting for the next straight. Should have been something like 5th instead of 10th.
Race 3 would have been a good chance to be on the podium again, but in the first chicane Marmite hit the wall, so I try to stay clear to the left, but found no grip there and had to mow the lawn. Lost 7 positions. Then I encounter DK in the middle of Ascari going slow, so instead of accelerating full throttle out of there, I have to brake and get eaten alive on the run-up to Parabolica (-3 positions). Of course, shortly after that the Parabolica-incident happened. (-7 positions) There was so much more in that race.
Came away with a PB of 49.7, which is a whopping 1.4s off the Volvos. Sector-wise I lost something like 0.7-0.1-0.6. From what I saw, the corner-speeds were practically the same, but if you lose something like 0.3 on every straight, it's a bit hard to compete. I know it's a case of best drivers in the best car, and it might be hard to gauge how much of the gap is actually car-related, but about 0.8s at Cape Ring and 1.5s at Monza (average in the race) is a bit worrying. That tells me that even on the tracks where other cars should have an advantage, the Volvo will be at least just as fast.

Cleanest round for me so far , i guess its just learning how to avoid incidents ( its kind of a sixth sense ) , actually its just luck
Was so close to a win which would of been like damon hill winning in the arrows
Given what happened at that Hungarian GP, you succeeded in emulating him...
