I felt the contact and I was afraid I’d get a penalty, when I didn’t I started feeling bad because it did feel kinda dirty but like you said the line was open and you had made a mistake, I tried flashing my lights to let you know I was coming but we still touched, I honestly had nowhere else to go at that point.
My results were almost the same and I got 9 points (Lucky I don't worry about my points tally much).
) after Brands Hatch 
Missed this post earlier... but yeah: I like that explanation. Strong grass! holy moly it's so easy to lose it if you just drop part of a tire on the exit at Sheene. I had no idea what happened til I saw my replay, I didn't expect to loop it all. Amateur mistake but as unforgiving a track edge as there is in the game, for sure. I assume it must be like that in real life, and I assume that means the proper folk that spend their weekends at Brands Hatch are real tough SOB's. Because it takes a pair to flirt with that every lap if the consequences are a bit worse than a few FIAGTC points when you cross that line.
So much throttle control will be needed to not have the Mediums wear out so fast. I tried a practice race, and I took my time applying the throttle out of turns. This did slow my pace a bit, but it helped me go 8 laps on the Mediums before switching to Hards.
Especially with 6x tyre wear. I got about 5/6 laps on the mediums before they started to feel iffy. I'm wondering if it's worth doing a 2 stop strategy, 6 laps on each set of mediums and 1 stop on the hards. I tend to err on the side of caution with tracks like Suzuka and Brands hatch, as any mistakes are punished hard.
It could be possible to do, but if you're bunched up in traffic and slow each other down, thus extending tire life, it could make 1 stop look more appealing. My problem with 2 stop is that if you can't make progress because cars ahead aren't letting you pass them, it could backfire on you when you make the second pit stop.
True. I might see how the opening laps pan out, and due to the grid start I may even start on the hards. The opening laps are always nervy though so I’m not sure if I want to make it even harder for myself.
I'm thinking about it.
Nooooo not this one! Hard tyres will be terrible for the last couple of laps if you run the whole race on them. I'm planning on a similar strategy to you (depending where I qualify). Start hards, hold people up, look to get rid of them early then run to the endMy thoughts are to start on Hards (unless starting top 4) and then get in the way as much as possible slowing the medium runners down, pit after 5 laps and jump as many people as possible when they pit later on
You don't fool me. We both know you'll be no stopping.
