My races were a battle of survival, no chance to get into any form of racing at any point.
Race 1 after Mel and I hooked up I then crashed trying to drive with damage which took me almost 10 minutes to carefully get the car back to the pits. I sat there for 291 seconds while my team worked franticly to repair the car. I finished last in 6th place, unbelievable that 14 cars dnf. I certainly will be looking at replays to find out what's going on.
Race 2 was a repeat of race one, mayhem at the start. Involved in an incident at T1 I then proceeded to put damage the car all by self and spend another 304 seconds in the pit. Seemed the safest place to be
This time i didn't need ten minutes to get the car there. With another 8 dnf's I was lucky to finish 10th.
Race 3 reverse grid order I actually made a good start and found myself 6th or 7th off memory behind jpalesi. I let the fast Bart through and was concentrating on keep up with jp before someone had lost control in the last sector and crashed. I need to make two quick decisions, first dodge a tyre, just made it.. second dodge his car but unfortunately I had no chance and ploughed into a wheel less cockpit of some one. Surprising the damaged car was still drivable and I chose not to repair it and finished the race lapping in the 4 minute 40's in 6th place.
My only positive for the night was I brought the car home 3 times. Race 1 I was dripping in sweat trying to steer the damn thing, quite funny and worth a look ;D
For me the game ran perfectly, no lag. We had an extraordinary 31 dnf's for the night and are certainly better than that in my opinion. Granted it's a hard track we need to be more aware of,
*who's left and right of us at the start and T1.
*braking distance at T1 and the concertina effect it causes.
*re-entering the track when it all goes wrong.
*and most importantly knowing when to yield or take the corner.
Keeping this in mind it's only going to make SR4L an even better place to race than it already is.
