NATIONS CUP RACE - ROUND 3 - 2PM SLOT - EMEA Region - Lower C race lobs. 17 laps no pit needed. MONZA RACE!

So today this nations cup race was I'm sorry to say absolute dog****e for me. Started off ok in qualifying and then slowly had to make up my time to 10th after bashing around. Bit of a RANT to follow im afraid!


THREE incidents in one race dont amount to good racing in anyway and its really bad sportmanship!

It was downhill in the main Race, there is a one merged YT clip below of three seperate incidents of blantant bad racing and ramming taking place froma. sounth african driver and a horrible asswipe of a french driver, and I could not recover from it during my race.

It's a real shame that the penalty system lets me down and other stupid rivers dont get repromanded for their stupid behaviour they just rage quit. I had tried my best to bring back positons, but this was a kind of race that require some strategy as fuel played in abit, tyre wear not so much and it was hard to bounce back. The tyres could last the 17 laps and they did but it was really bad to race with people who were initentially ramming your car, depsite me trying to keep it clean and classy.

I won't say much more, it was just bad, onto Round 4, trying to stay optimistic. Videos below prove my disdain for sport racing.

My only race in the series was today. Missed the first 2, on holiday from Thurs.

Almost forgot, so had about 5 practice laps in the Audi and the Bugatti. Went for the Audi as its far more stable under braking so suits my style. Had no time to mess about with BB testing, braking markers or anything other than "I think this is what gear I should take the corner in". Couldn't really remember from the TT a few months back.

4pm, GT1

Qualified 14th wooo

Really uneventful race really. Kept it on track albeit on average 3 secs a lap slower than the leaders. Was pushing for 11th at one stage before the pits then I just focused on not being caught too much by the guys behind. Kept a 3s-ish gap in case of silly penalties, that was about it. Oh, my hands really hurt after 25 laps of that as well, still not used to this long race stuff 😂

Didn't get lapped either, result

Happy racing ladies and gents!
