Quick report.
Race 1, poor start as I dropped from 7th to 15th by T1. I simply could not hear my engine or hear the starting sequence from all the noise. I had good enough pace to stick on the back of a few drivers and stay in touch with the main group. With a little luck and some good laps I worked my way up to 4th and managed to stay there. No really close battles it was more a case of concentration.
Race 2, If you make a mistake at Brianza you are finshed. On the opening lap at one point I was second but put a wheel on the grass and it was RIP me. Sorry to who ever I hit when I was exiting the track, I think I finished their race too :-[
Race 3 Chaos at the start. Some times we get it right and then there are times like last night. Carnage was the order of the day in the midfield. I suppose it is a 1960's mod and it just show how dangerous it must have been when the chain reaction starts. I had fun battling my way through the pack and ended up with a 6th with some fun fights along the way.
A tip.
I'll use Marcel as an example. If he is behind me but not in a position to pass, possibly setting up for the next corner he'll be wary of my braking point given the difference in skill level. It's a natural skill that he would not have to think about to much.
Brake points vary from driver to driver and the faster guys are simply better at it. My point being if have no idea who is in front of you and your not using Vehicle Tabs or your LCD read out to see a name and associate a skill level to that person you could be asking for trouble.
No one is perfect, no one means to crash in to anyone but it is a 1 percenter that could mean the difference in having fun racing or watching from the sidelines.
Congrats SR4L on a record members turn out.
