In race 1 I got a good, clean start and found my pace (and place) and tried to keep consistent (70% boost).
Not much dicing but still had fun to get 5th. ;D

Race 2 I had another good start, until I came across a sideways car, with a car on the left and the pit wall on the right, I had no where to go.
After the ensuing carnage I had red wings, red right side and orange right suspension front and rear.
Lost a lap driving back to the pits, lost another lap waiting for repairs.
Managed to come back on track in 17th around Freezer who wasn't 'blue' so I raced.
Managed to stay in front right up until my PC crashed 1 lap from the end, dropping me back to 12th. :(
Still had fun. 8)

2+2=√16

For shame, Phil, for shame :)

Escaped out to the pits and continued on a lap down.

I'm pretty sure there's still the bug where if you ESC back to the pits and your box is after the start line, you'll go a lap up, so it's still best to avoid escaping back to the pits.
Just on that, I had big damage, Esc to pits and was pretty much instantly ready to drive out repaired.  Sure I lost a lap in the process but no repair time..

See, that's unfair on people who spend time waiting for repairs after pitting properly. Combined with the bug that can put you a lap UP after pressing etc,  I'll have to reiterate the ban on pressing esc.  If your car's that wrecked, it's terminal, and race over.
Actually I totally forgot about the ESC ban.  I just pressed it as I couldn't move the damaged car.  Then knowing I was way out of contention I decided to push on for some fun.  Happy for you to remove my results though..!!

Ah no, no worries.
