My first podium here! 8)
Race 1: Starting from P3, the start was a rather cool affair at the front (compared to the frantic actions I am used to witness in the midfield) and I was happy to let Christian and Ramon have their fight. Luckily, I could overtake both of the cleanly quite early. Ramon fell by the wayside soon after that, and Christian was soon too far back to be of concern. So I was cruising along with good pace. After the pitstop I found Mr. Pucher much closer and glued to my rear for most of the second stint. I managed to stay in front by using my secret superpowers concentration levels never seen on a simulated race track before. In the closing laps, the gap increased again, so I could wipe some of the sweat off my forehead and cross the line in second place. I was happy.
In contrast, Race 2 is nothing to write home about. Starting from my well earned P9, it was mayhem in the opening laps for me. Losing it in the breaking zone for the hairpin and collecting some better behaved gentlemen in the process was just the beginning of a downward spiral with two more incidents, including rolling my car. Finally, I was visiting the pits for an expensive 120 second repair appointment. After that, it was damage control, but P14 was the best I could do.
