Cheers buddy! I want to figure out how I made up 12 places in 12 laps, very unlike me  8)

Race 1
Never thought I'd say this but I qualified too well.
Exit Radillion to see grat airborne and no time to react, except lock-it-down and wait for the impacts to stop.
Thought I could fix the damage and mediums might last but couldn't change PitConfig, so I was stuck with getting softs. (luckily stuck with fixing aero & susp. damage, though that cost an extra 10sec in the stop)
Drove a very damaged car for 7 laps (slowly) then raced the rest of the way home.

Race 2
No damage this time, PitConfig played nice, the graphics didn't.
Had a 2 sec screen freeze at Stavelot which almost put me into the wall but I only lost about 5-6 positions waiting for a safe re-entry.
Finished in 10th, where I started.

I would normally call this a shit night but after missing so many weeks, I was just glad to be back. 8)

Watching the race 2 replay i think it's easily the best race I've ever had. Plenty of action and close racing and keeping it consistant and quick allowing me to close gaps.

Lap 1 went from 17th to 19th so very happy finishing 5th. I did a highlights video containing most of lap 1 then just the fun parts.

Nice one. Do you race with those offscreen markers, or with helicorsa?

Helicorsa, but the FOV in the video reminds me how hard having a single screen was. Could see way more during the race. I tried playing around with the F5 camera in the replay to show some of the racing better but I had issues where the sound wouldn't work with it.

Nice Joe but I especially liked Dave O's defensive driving just after Eau Rouge lap 1, taking a leaf out of the Verstappen  book of defense  ;D
