Qualy
-------
I wasn't able to do a perfect lap, always making a small mistake at some different part of track so I had to get 3rd row which was something I didn't really like in this track.
Race 1
---------
Did a very good start but had to brake to avoid running into Robert, so I kept the same 5th position I started in. Standing the last of the leading pack I was surprised to see David Coyne leading it. At first I thought he had jumped start but when we finished the first lap and he continued I then realised he had done a superb start.
Laps went by until lap 4 when it was my pit time. As I hate having cars in front when entering the pitlane I decided to attack the cars ahead (Marcel had already gained a gap to the pack). I didn't know I was having a high ping and when I overtook DjC to get second place I saw him dissapear as if we had crashed each other.
I went for my pitstop, run a little wide and had to reverse to get in my spot. Fortunately pitstop was quick (46sec). DjC appeared too in the pits and was honking in hunger (didn't understand why at that moment). Exited the pitlane 3 seconds ahead of David Coyne and thought I was about to get too close to Robert when he did his pitstop.
A lap later both Marcel and Robert pitted and I found myself in second place, 2 seconds behind Marcel and 3 seconds ahead of Roberts (who should have David on his tail). The remaining three laps I was pushing as hard as I could as I feared Robert could get to me quickly but a lap later he suddenly was 8 seconds behind and the next lap he was no longer there, so wasn't David. So the final lap was more comfortable having no one to attack me and finally ending the race in second place, good feeling.
After race1 I exited rfactor2 and did some speed and ping test showing no lag. Entered rFactor2 again and everything was fine again so I guess my high ping had to be something game related.
Race 2
---------
Exited carefully being held in traffic battles. By the end of lap 1 I was still in my starting 9th place. I was having Robert ahead of me and ahead of us John Cook and Juraj Rimes who touched wheels. Juraj took the worst of it, went straight to the fence and his car rebounded straight into me. Just couldn't avoid him and went flying and sommersaulting without control. After getting back control of the car I rejoined the race in 14th place. Right front suspension was damaged but car was driveable so I decided not to repair it on my pitstop. As laps went by I overtook some cars on track, others at the pitlane finally finishing in 5th place which wasn't that bad considering the big crash.
