Sorry, Jacob, I couldn't avoid it. You were cutting the track when I got there. I went back to the pit to fix it, the engine overheated, because I forgot to assign a button to stop the engine. :doh:

Congratulations to the podium. :top:

Sooo, here's a quick report.

David Jacques shared his setup which immediately made the car handle like a dream. I was suddenly quite confident that I might be able to finish the race Very Happy

Starting from P10 was all right, I've never been a decent qualifier. But it didn't take long when I realized that there's something wrong with my car. The rear end was very loose. I tried some Roll-Bar adjustments, but it mostly made things worse. Soon I found out that I had one click less on my rear wing. I have absolutely no idea when and how it happened, but it did. Thankfully, I made it to the first round of pit stops, adjusted the rear wing and from then on, it was simply a fantastic race. I had barely any issues. The only scary moment happened with 26 laps to go, when my Croatian friend Raul Jereb had a lazy spin and got into my way. But there were no consequences and I cruised to P3. I wasn't the fastest car on the track by far (16th fastest lap of the race Shocked

), but I guess I was just lucky to have a clean race.

Grats to Richard, thanks to David and I'm really sorry for Austin. See you all in the concrete canyon at The Beach :conduit:
