I qualified today! It was pointless.
I started with Interlagos, screwed up my qualifying lap and started last. It was the 7:10 race, dirty hour, which came true as always. It wasn't long until I got stuck with a very dirty player. I passed him once, he barged passed me. I set up another pass on the straight, I'm ahead on the inside for T1, brake on time to give him space on the outside, he goes at full hotlap speed and turns in to hit me at the apex, 5 sec penalty for me. So, stay behind him them. That's a red S already, don't want to drop to SR.A in the first race.
He continues bumping people off the road either from the side or behind which somehow doesn't hurt him. I pick up the positions from the cars he runs off the road which I promptly give back at the finish due to my 5 second penalty. They weren't my positions to take so no problem there. He finishes ahead of it all of course, with a red S, should have been a B. Reported.
Screw Interlagos, my worst track with my worst car group, I'm doomed to drive in the unruly back field. Off to the lake. I qualify for last, nope actually 19th, one non qualifier behind me. Magiorre is my other weak track yet I pick up a few positions, nothing spectacular happens. I set a better qualifying lap, still pretty much last, 17th to start. Then pick up 7 positions during the race, not bad. However the next race a car spins out in the first chicane, I have cars all around me, tap his 150 degree rotated car slightly, 10 sec penalty. I serve it at the start and watch the race from a distance... The race after goes a bit better, however I screw myself with shortcut penalties. I can drive clean races on Monza, Sarthe, N24, however at Magiorre my car insists in sliding into the few spots where you get a track penalty.
To end on a high note, last race, I start 16th, 2 cars don't brake for T1, fireworks. More fireworks later when a laggy car that seems to stall in a corner suddenly takes off like a rocket. Then in the last lap I get bumped off, the other car gets the flashing penalty sign. I stay within 1 sec behind him expecting to get my position back at the finish, he goes full speed over the finish with the flashing sign and no red dot.
3.4K DR down so far, perhaps I'll look for some more punishment later. Break first.
It's the X-Bow.

Miraculously I could steer in between all the other cars into the wall to prevent any secondary accidents.
Just raced you twice recently.
