My weekend in short. 
Qualify was quite OK and ended up third. At first I was surprised by the laptimes from Rikard and Marcel so knew something needed to be done to the setup. Little tweakings to diff removed excessive understeering so it wasn't the car but me not able put whole lap together. Anyway would have been very tight for the pole.
First race was disaster. Took fairly good start from the green side but didn't want to try anything stupid for the first corner. Well I still did by going in too fast and hit Marcel slightly in the rear. Anyhow no damage done but few seconds later somehow missed my braking point (guess I was watching car on my side) and this time it was really close of not taking Marcel out of the race. Luckily it was only me who spinned out of the track. No damage yet so back to race but at last corner I found Jesus behind cloud of smoke and of course damaged both cars badly.
Second race, fairly good start from the back but not long when entered a mayhem and got hit from behind by Jesus and spinned out of the track. No damage though but I think it wasn't even the end of the lap and there was a car sideways on the track so of course I hit it hard. And believe it or not but there he was again; Jesus! I've heard he saves... and for sure he did - I mean saved me from racing!
Third race was easy one. Because of the poor result from last and reversed grid started from fourth or so. Guys crashed from front so few moments later I was leading the race. Marcel was second but so far away (maybe 5...7 seconds) that it was easy for me to find good rhythm and control the race. Also the pace was comparable to Marcel and Rikard so it was bit of a shame that I ruined first and second races because would have been hard and fun racing against them. Oh well, maybe on next season...
Thanks to everyone for very good times on racing! Indeed SR4L is a great community and rF2 is a great sim. Also congratulations to Marcel of winning the championship by far!
Well he exited turn 1 close to inside and also screwed up turn 3. Then he also made room for me by going off the driving line at turn 5 (leading into long straight). To me it looked like he's lap was ruined and he wanted to let me by. Well Thanos is the only one who knows the truth.

I managed to get a 2:12.3 which I found to be enough to be in 4th place and in front of David.
One thing I want to point out that I didn't like was seing KK at the final minutes of the session come out of the pits between me and Thanos (who was some seconds ahead of me in a personal qualifying lap) and see him fighting thanos in the brakings. You shouldn't do that in your out lap to a car who is in his hot lap.
