I was really looking forward to this race. Unfortunately it was almost over in the first lap. Right after the start I experienced major stutter or lag and might have hit the brakes too soon, causing the car behind me to crash into me.
And that was me Tobias. Sorry to you and the one other guy that got collected. I'm glad to hear it was caused by a technical glitch. I was pressing a little but I didn't think I was being over aggressive. I was surprised to see your rear end closing on me so fast and was mad at myself for bumping you. Glad we could all continue unscathed.
For a Nords race mine was very intense and surprisingly not lonely. I trailed Tim at 1-2 seconds for most of the first 3 1/2 laps. Much fun and excitement. WTG Tim, you never errored or bobbled enough for me to get a chance at getting by. I'm not sure I would have liked being in front anyway! By middle of lap 4 my tires were shot and I simply could not adjust my driving to compensate. Eventually Edwin got by me and we pitted together after lap 5. Most of the rest of the race was me chasing him until again my tires went off and so did I many times. But for 10 laps I was in traffic! That really kept it interesting.
My feeling towards these cars differs from Cosimo and Nikos. I think they're a blast to drive. I've always been a fan of the 60s wingless cars but these have really caught my fancy. And I gotta tell you I've made a huge turn around regarding the Nurburgring. I used to hate it. Now I love it! Just maybe not for NINETY EIGHT MINUTES! Holy Cow! I wish the next time we could have a mandatory 2 minute pit stop so we could stand up and let some blood back into our asses! I was literally in pain for the last 5 minutes. Maybe I should invest next in a form fitted racing chair.
