Great racing tonight, thoroughly enjoyed most of it.
I surprised myself at Silverstone, running competitively (for me, anyway), for most of the race, bar the last lap where I ran a little too fast, but all in all, a good race.
Eiger was a complete disaster, and I think I should explain. Firstly, I figured out how to take the corner after the tunnel quickly a little too late, and ended up qualifying far too fast.
The disaster struck, however, on the uphill section. I'd let a few drivers past just before, but ended up bumping someone,
@Gravitron I think, which caused someone to bump into me, which seemed to start a chain reaction down the field, all I saw in my rear view mirror was carnage and mayhem. I pulled over to let a few people pass, not realising, in hindsight, how close to the racing line I actually was, and as a result
@hasslemoff got stuck behind me. I let him pass and not knowing how much my error of judgement had affected the other racers behind me still, I decided to let them all pass, just to be safe.
Motegi, however, started off brilliantly. Qualified with a .004, spent a good chunk of the race in first, gathering a two second lead. I'm not going to lie, when
@Gravitron spun out I was a little relieved, he'd been on my bumper pretty much since the race started. My lead, though, was not meant to be. I was checking my rear view to see how far behind the others were, completely missed my braking point so I slammed them on, my wheels locked up and I took a trip to the beach. A similar event occured not two corners later, and once again I ended up knee deep in sand, and ultimately finished 10th, where I chased
@GTPCrispyOne to the finish line.
To finish on a positive note, having this in your mirrors for ~3 laps is quite daunting:
That is one mean looking car,

, good luck everyone.
