My race wasn't too great, good start, clean, nobody wrecked that I know of, spread out field, cruising along, after attempts to hang Brosif's draft failed, caught back eventually with Aliens and outlaw, and became a 4 car train.
Then outlaw just coasted off, straight at the wall in the last turn, causing me to slow down a bit, and some light contact, than sure enough he popped back up on track in front of me, pretty far up, then disappeared.
Not only do I not like being handed positions, and being an obvious misfortune for outlaw, I lost the draft. This leads to a problem, because my car won't turn enough, and I'm killing the front tires. I don't know why I liked this tune for qualifying, because it was awful under steer.
Decided to stay out and wait till 18/19 (19) to pit, in case there would be a caution, then caught damage on lap 20 I believe, luckily got both fronts, but it slowed me down about 2-2.5 seconds a lap for the rest of the race.
Oh, and Aliens DC'd in there somewhere too.
A caution and it might have been different, ended up getting passed back to fifth.
Congrats to dethcore, brosif and Erick. 👍
Good job by dethc0re. 👍
Based on what I saw, I was going to pit early so I could break away from the pack, so I could bust out some 48s. Only got to Lap 14 when approaching the last corner, everyone smacked the wall. My heart sunk before they re-appeared in front of me, so I had hope that it was a momentary glitch. Nope, a second later, "You have been disconnected" decided to grace my screen. I can't even remember the last time this happened.I'm not sure what the point of continuing is. Every week, something always happens that screws me over, and I've just about had it. It's not fun anymore.
My incredible stubbornness is the only thing keeping me in now, but I won't bother practicing for any series anymore. 👎
Race 1 of FMSC season 2.
Same thing happened, up front contending for the win, dc, you talked of quitting then as well.
I'm going to tell you the same thing now I told you then, don't.
You enjoyed the rest of that season pretty thoroughly if I recall correctly.
**** happens, there's always next week.
As for practicing less, that might not be a terrible idea. It's a lot less aggravating having your races ruined when you haven't run a lot of laps and have super times behind you. I've been doing it for a while, it's just so much less stressful, it's totally worth it in my opinion.
I still have good days and bad days, always will, but I don't lose multiple hours of my time practicing for a race I can't make/dc/screw-up in ever.
Last night I did exactly what you did, about 2 seconds after I crossed the line in first though.
Everyone's replay shows me driving straight off into the sand, like I saw you tonight in the last turn (actually had to slow quite a bit and made contact) I was literally disconnecting before I even finished.
Anyway, sometimes you get lucky.
