In a close start to the season, Wally and Mael are tied on 46 points, with AGK only one point behind on 45 points, thanks in no small part to a bit of a shocker from Brad and Joe.

I know it's a short lap, but man-o-man it's busy, I was over 1 sec quicker when I changed from stick to paddle shift so I could hang on with 2 hands! I think my sim is going to need a full service after tonight as there are so many bumps and shakes coming from my wheel!

Server's up.

Congratulations to me and Mael for tying for the round win, and to me, Mael and AGK for race wins.

CHEATING!!

Well clearly it didn’t work as I had a shocker!

In the first race I was tailgating Joe and was able to go side by side in the right hairpin and we touched resulting in Joe in the fence and me with no front end….I couldn’t believe how fragile these cars are!

Race two wasn’t much better when I stuffed up and hit Joe in the same corner ruining his race. Totally my fault. I got caught out by how early Joe broke into that right hander as it was a fair amount before I was and after watching the replay I think a lot of this was due to how we took the previous corner so differently, in which Joe was a lot quick through it meaning he had to brake sooner, where as I was slower through the corner allowing me to brake later as I had less speed to wash off. No excuse, I stuffed up!

Race 3 was frustrating. I knew I was quick but I wasn’t quick enough to put the car in a position to pass and after the previous race I was rather gun shy to try. Eventually I made a mistake at the right handed losing time and then spent the rest of the race watch the mirror trying to not impede Wally as he was about a second or so behind me but my lap times were slight quicker so I didn’t yield. In the end it really didn’t matter as I couldn’t catch anyone anyway.

Hopefully next week is far less eventful

CHEATING!!

I don't see how it's cheating.
I have both H-pattern and paddles mapped and it defaults to whatever the actual car uses, in this case the paddles.
