Was like a warzone out there tonight. So many penaltys being dished out, some deserved, many others not but it does feel like the current system is pushing people over the edge and making them behave in a manner they normally wouldn't.....myself included.
Anyway first slot started promising. Qualified 10th in same race as @Lost Sheltie with a 55.8 and due to penaltys was up to 7th but I was to fall victim to a dodgy penalty when a Greek driver bump drafted me on the start/finish straight and gave me a 6 second penalty.
Few laps later same greek driver went for a monumentally stupid overtake at the flat out left/right onto the straight and well let's just say I didnt try to prevent the inevitable massive accident happen. I got a broke engine, they got a 10 second penalty. Hopefully the greek driver learnt a lesson that stupidly doesn't pay off.
Anyway slot 2. Again qualified 10th but got wiped out in turn 1 by a car that never broke. Not really sure what happened, if it was car immediately behind or further back but I was now last. Recovered to 11th on last lap when I came across an angry fellow brit that I had apparently besmurged earlier in the race. Anyway upshot of there antics was they got a 10 second penalty and ended up at SR A so again hopefully a lesson in stupidity learnt for another driver.
3rd slot, got a track limit pen in quali so started 19th and last. Simply stayed out of trouble in the race and passed car after car serving penaltys. Of course got 4 seconds myself as apparently a car passing on the inside needed more that 2 car widths of track and fresh tyres to not understeer and make contact with me. Finished 9th in the end which was a decent recovery but 7th and maybe even 5th was on without the BS pen. Anyways I settled for that and went a got dinner.
Exasperating experience tonight that's all I can say
