A race that had some promise for me ended up all over on lap pne.
First lap was good for provisional 3rd.
I was then quicker but took a little too much kerb on the final corner and got a penalty. Shame as that would have been my fastest lap. After the penalty lap I had 1 more go. I was up in sector 1 but going into turn 4 someone was mucking about slowly and they unghosted just before the corner. Whilst they were trying to stay out of the way they prevented me from getting the apex and I had to take a wide line. Thankfully I crossed the line faster but only by 0.3 of a second to move up to 8th from what was then 10th.
I had a poor start but the whole lap was a write off. I was down to 10th by T1. However a car barrelled up my inside and took out the car ahead. There were ghosts everywhere on the exit and I was suddenly up to 7th. Into Remus and more cars barrelled into those ahead and I was knocked wide but still in P10. Then into turn 4 the next wave happened. I made it round somehow which cannot be said for others but I came out of the corner with a totally unjustified 5 second penalty for knocking a car off track despite not hitting anyone. Then into the next set of corners I was tapped up the inside and then on the outside which sent the car into a tankslap. I hit the car which hit me on the outside which sent me spinning and doing my best Bottas impression. I got her straight only for the car to go again when I hit the track. Of course this time I faced the barrier. DFL and with a penalty to serve.
Video evidence of the carnage:
I was able to close the gap ahead and make a few places on the last lap due to penalties to finish 15th. But I could have well been fighting in the top 10 as the combo felt good to me. Really frustrated at this one. Why can't people race in a racing game?
