SR4L F1 League Race Reports Rnd 2 Kyalami

[troffeo]

Well,
I arrived at home around 10 min before start quali session, after a weekend with more than 900 km driving in one of most interesting mounting roads in Greece. Pelio is the name.
At the same time, i was very lucky because there has a hill climb race event, so i smell and i hear some lovely things

When i sit in my chair, i try to find ...my mind, my setups, my wheel, but finaly when i saw all of you in grid i feel well and i start my effort

At Quali I had gotten inside 1:19:225s (my PB) and started from 13th place, only 0:00:012s from Nikos(!!!) .

Race 1:

I started well, i catch some cars before T1 but following closely Cookie into T1 i hit him a little bit from the back side without serious damages....
My apologies to Cookie for that incident, i am very sorry Cookie!!!!
Again the same things (than Brianza) when in T5 several cars had accident!!!!!!!
I can saw the yellow flag before T5, so i reduce my speed (near to 0km) and i try to find i safe way to pass all that damaged cars until somebody hits my from behind twice. Also i hit some other car and i had a damaged car again before the 1st lap.
I would like again to shout that this is unacceptable to happen, especially when there is enough time and early warning (yellow flag) in order to be able to react to avoid further problems.

I think that should be addressed by race marshals so sometime to impose penalties on drivers for similar incidents.

I manage to drive my damaged car without pit stop (traffic in pit lane) until 9th lap (if i remember well) when i had a stupid exit in the entry of T5 again.
The result was damaged right front suspension and managed to get to the pits with only 3 wheels. Where entering I found that my position on the pit box were are another driver .... I don't know if its a bug.
After I got over my embarrassment (someone is angry because I closed the entrance), I put the car aside and expect to finish the process the other driver and then finaly take my place in pit box.
After 311 :o seconds, I went back in the track, where I saw that I had inexplicably penalty stop & go (probably for speed limit????) and so the next round reentered again for the execution of the sentence.
Eventually finished in 16th place.

Race 2:

I had a very good and clean start without any problems (arrived to lead the race at least for 1 lap, of course when other drivers were in the pits ;D ;D ;D ;D).
I made my pit stop in 51s and when i coming back on the track, I had a clean and very nice fight with Jesus Rodriguez, who managed to overtake me few laps later.
Also that fight was epic for me, many thanks Jesus!!!!
Eventually finished in 7h place, totaly exhausted!!!!!!

Well done all in Kyalami and see you all at the next race!!
Also well done SR4L!!!
