Well, it wasn't the best race weekend for Hedlund Racing, to say the least 
Neither me or my brother had done any practice at all before tonight. I've had big problems with my hardware and couldn't really concentrate. But I tried anyway. No time to find a setup for the car. Shorter gears and lower steering ratio, that was pretty much it... But I managed to take 5th on the grid anyway, somehow.
First race was a disaster. I spun into the tire stack in first corner and damaged the car too badly. Engine stalled so I couldn't get out of the racing line, so someone hit me and probably got some damage. Sorry.
Second race I started from the back of the grid, was involved in some incident that I can't even remember anymore. But it was ok. Entered pits for tirechange lap 9, I think. But Gorka Santisteban had stolen my pit! Not blaming him of course, either a really bad bug, or something with the track. I had to wait for Gorka to leave before changing my own tires, and lost 30-40 seconds. Finished 9th.
Third race, reversed grid. I knew bad things could happen in first corner, so I took it easy in the start. However, my brother Robert retired 2nd race and therefor started on pole in this last race, and he cut the pit exit line after the start, hitting a invisible cone (he first thought he was hit by someone behind him) and lost control, crashing into the metal posts and spinning back on track, probably causing the big disaster in first corner. All because of an invisible cone... My race ended in first corner. I took it really carefully, driving through the caos with cars flying in the air. When I thought I had made it through the caos, some impatient driver that spun out to the grass suddenly thinks it's a great idea to put in reverse gear and give full throttle back up on track, right in front of me and several other drivers! My suspension was too badly damaged and I had to retire. I'll not mention any names here, but this was probably one of the most stupid things I've ever seen. Hadn't expected to see that on SR4L server.
No good day for me. Retired, 9th, retired. My goal was to finish all races in top 10, take it easy and collect some points. Track felt extreeeemly slippery, like it never rubber in!?
Actually I'm starting to grow tired of rF2. Bad performance, barely playable with triple monitors, 'bugs' destroy 2 races today. It feels like game is not stable enough to race in a league at the moment... Sadly
We should not need to worry about players leaving server during races...
