Really sorry Nikos for the tap at Tabac. I had a run on you but in the last couple of seconds, coming up on the ramp, I realized that I was probably not going to be able to hug the inside and that you were blind to my position on the track. I tried my best to hold the turn, and came darn close to avoiding you. But of course I didn't. Sorry to make you lose 2 positions and take damage.
I had a good, if uneventful first race. P4 on the grid with a PB under 1.5 seconds from my best practice lap. Finished in P4.
Second race more interesting. Started about P6. Had a good start and got by Paul but before San Devote some folks in front of me got squirrely and I clipped (or got clipped) by some of the cars involved in that. Damaged my steering. Fought that, but managed to learn how to drive the damaged car only a little off my regular pace. Pit stop on lap ten was long, due to damage repair. Dropped from P4 to P8, I think down one lap, but managed to get back to P7 before end.
Almost missed the races. Have been doinking with DSL service and new modem as well as converting to Steam. As part of my troubleshooting I decided to check my ping to the race server and low and behold the last 20 min of practice was going on! Wow, I was completely unaware. :o
