Hey Guys,
First of all I wanted to say what a great experience this has been for me! Thank you for a great night of racing! Had some good fights with a couple of people, all very clean and good fights
I was pretty happy with my performance until the final few laps....I found myself in a great position with new tyres (soft) following Cactass and Oni who looked like were struggling with tyres or saving them at least.
Got to Cactass at the final chicane and got too excited and lost under acceleration, in an attempt to overtake going into the final corner
Came back to the track and started chasing him down again, closed the gap to throw all away again on another stupid overtake attempt!
At that stage, the tyres were far from new....so to finish any chances I could still have, I spun again on the hairpin
After that I had 0% tyres at the rear...yes....I did it...
I compare this with one with when you have one of those good dreams.....you are there with Scarlet Johansson and a few others ready to have them all when you suddenly realise "man, this is a dream!" and the moment you do that, you wake up! So, that is what happened to me....I woke up! lol I guess the chance of getting to the podium on my first ORS race was too much to bare....need to look at the positive side now, I took it out of the system! Yes...that is right! Look out Rusty...I am coming to get you! hahahahaha....that is funny
Going back to having 0% tyres left, I wanted to put my hands up here....because of that, I decided to go back to the pits to put new tyres so I could at least drive around the track. Came back to the track and made sure I didn't overtake anyone, it wouldn't be right or fair if I did it.Now, I know this is against the rules as the pits were closed, so not sure what happens now....please let me know and I will be happy to take the hit.
Well, that is it for now! Again, thank you all and congratulations to Rusty on a great victory and to everyone for putting together a great race.
Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers,
