Belgium is always a mental chaellenge. How long can you not think about anything else and stay in the zone. Today it worked out well.
I like the old Spa circuit and did quite a few training laps. Then yesterday i watched a rc buggy tutorial about the anti rollbar physics and this motivated me to play around a bit and after some tweaking I found a fast and superforgiving setup.
Based on the training times I knew this could be a good race if can keep it together and stay out of trouble. I spend the whole day building a down draft table and almost missed Qualify. I joined a few minutes late and started in safe mode to get a laptime in.I progressed to P4 which i was already excited aout. Inthe secont stint I made mistakes in the the first teo laps and then gave it all in the last lap that I entered just a few seconds before time was up. I could not see what was the gap tho P3 as I could not find the commend to toggle through the stats after the reinstall (very strange'). The lap went well and whne I finished I saw myself at P1. Wow never achieved that.
That was the entry into a lucky race. I lost 2 positions at the start and in turn one as I wanted to play it safe following Daves advise. Not everyone did and in the replay i could see the mayhem that unfolded behind me. After a few laps I could catch up to Dan and then overtake him. After a few I saw a red car getting closer and overtaking Dan. This was Martin Nehl. I He came rigth behind me waiting for a chance. I was fast at Burnenville and Masta, at Holowell I was braking quite early (as always) to keep a safe distance to the heyballs which must have come as a surprise to MArtin who was on a late brake full risk trjajctory. the maneuver to avoid me send him into the brickwall nand from there into Dan who was close too. I might have been a softer target. After that no one came up anymore, maybe too much damage taken at the first corner incident. I managed to keep it together and drive home my first ever league race win. In combination with P1 in Qualify a very rewarding race.
