news from the back
Quali
At last made some consistent clean laps and felt reasonably secure to finish.
My lap times were decently slow as always, curiously my fastest ones, were those that felt slower than the others, so obvious conclusion was to find a rythm and stick to it.
race 1
3 min before start of race I pushed wrong button, rf2 refused to fill screen, had to reboot, seconds passed slowly...and I found myself unable to join.
I had some fun time watching, then I picked some wood for the fireplace, mixed a fine tomato juice with tabasco and I was back in time to enjoy last laps, team leader was leading
, then he plunged into the harbour in last chicane 
, then he dissapeared afk (we could hear from Greece doors slamming at his house, cats yelling etc.)
race 2
at last some racing.
Not unenventfull though, big pillups, even usually conservative Vittorio was in one pileup,managed to escape most, slight damage on wheel but it was drivable, so I went to my scheduled pitstop at 7nth lap and went out to drive cooly for the remainer, so I could watch Neelas tricycle lol.
At some point I was chased by a young hotblood named Tom, couldnt get away, he was all over me everywhere.
Since there were 4(?) laps to the finish and even if I let him by I would still be inside some good points, I thought, so what, I let him by after Casino, he furiously got on it, I followed close, he was going good but then he couldnt decide which way entrance of chicane was, left or right, he chose right
Thank you kind sir, thank you
Third race
Almost same as second, I picked up my rythm, didnt make silly mistakes and finished again with some good points as did Neela.
All in all a very enjoyable race for me, reminded me of many IRL Monacos Ive watched, if you try to pass without permission, you are heading for the barriers.
Notable moments, John's and Vittorios performance, how was the champagne guys?
Also Toms first appearence at our races, top job Tom!
(btw why isnt he at the results?)
