You sure did have some bad luck Gorka, plus everyone else around you 
. You did get Poll so not a complete disaster, nice time.
Back from my holiday after missing last race keen to drive again. Found the track slippery so added lots and lots of wing to my setup. Track looked good, think it was converted from Race07 game, looked the same in every way.
Realroad was a bit odd this race, one side black and other side white. Guess which side I was starting the race on, yes the white no grip stuff! Add a few marbles too would you!!. So as expected got a slow start and had DC overtake. Then was funny to see him and Gorka drive off into the gravel trap for me to take the lead . Ohh my...
Soon into race, with Gorka caughting me, my engine started smoking and getting worst each lap. I was having to lift on the straights in fear of my engine going pop. Not sure how rfactor handles this would it have blow up if I was not lifting?, no idea. This was helping Gorka keep up with me.
Few laps later after the pits stops, at the end of the long straight, Bang!!
, not from my engine but from Gorka who had braked way to late and knocked us both into the gravel. I continued on my way, unsure of damage still in 1st. Gorka, I'm sure if you had have continued you could have easyly presured me into blowing my engine as I was having to nurse it the rest of the race.
Race 2 was fun. This time I added a bigger radiator. Just followed everyone and let them take each other out I saw Gorkas crash right in front of me, it was like the cars exploded into each other, cars spinning or going backwards into the gravel, nice to keep me on my toes and the heart rate pumping, thanks.
As Gorka said I seemed to be doing some good lap times so could pull away to finish the race in 1st again. Just a lot of luck.
The final next, 2 hours eeek!
