Now that the dust has settled... Had an outstanding race with Caligula and Moby. For me it was staying patient and putting loads of pressure on the two in front. Might have got close to herimopp overall if I undercut Caligula earlier and didn't slow at the end to allow kp to try for FL in bronze, but I'll take highest positions gained in the race. Wasn't expecting to do that well if I'm being completely honest, that's why I was downplaying my ability since I hardly touch fixed racing. This is definitely something I could get used to running Saturday nights.

Glad you made it and enjoyed yourself.

Downplaying? Unsuccessfully! I knew exactly what I was in for going into the race lol. Your reputation precedes you @TetsuKobura. I was expecting the undercut during the second pit window, so I slightly over fueled to prepare for a chase, then when it did happen in the last stop, I got anxious and took too little fuel. It was over for me at that point. Just had to maintain pace while saving fuel to avoid getting caught.

The race was really fun and the level of competition was high throughout the grid. Everyone was racing against someone else. There was no breather to be had.
 
I got a great start and was doing alright. TheN relAxed for the minute during my first pit stop and could not stay awake at that point. Hope I stayed out of everyone’s way successfully. Maybe I’ll like buy soda or something coffee only seems to keep me relaxed. And not wake me up like I need to be. Maybe one less beer throughout the day. Maybe one more? Seems like a moving target.

Lmao.
Energy drink. Could switch to a Redbull about an hour prior.

Wanted to apologize again for our tie up. Was trying to wash a 1/2 second cut penalty, and got caught gazing at the countdown and missed the brake point. I'm sure it affected your race and strategy as I know it changed mine. Good luck to you next week.

Lol less beer works better for me.
