I was two cars behind, I saw a car flying for no reason.

Sorry about that Cosimo, I don't remember that. In the T5 carnage I was able to full stop before hitting anyone, then, when I thought it was safe to pass I tried to go thru a gap but someone else, that was at the side of the track, had the same idea at the same time and we touched, I got suspension damage too.

My apologies about that too, Cosimo, I am not very proud of that move either but...
I am very inexperienced in racing (I have watched a lot of grand-am, alms, dtm, f1, etc. races though ;D )
I would like someone more experienced to sed some light on this, please?
From my point of view, on the exit of the esses I had some more speed than Cosimo so I tried to overtake, I think we reached the Leeukop bend side by side. I was on the inside and able to keep the inside to complete the turn (this, again, from my point of view). We "touched" there.
Was this move acceptable? I would like to know.
I had a lot of fun and excitement on both races and I did things that I had never done before in any race. I was very lucky, I must say, because driving on the edge I had almost no error on second race.
The fight I had with George Mallis was epic for me
I envy a lot, even more now, guys on front fighting and racing close all the time, must be exhilarating.
Thanks SR4L!
