This is Monaco & I love it.
Qualy: Beginning to learn how to set this car and starting to going faster. Here you really make the time in the chicane, a very dangerous way to do a good lap time. I got two settings, one for qualy and one for race. P6 with a very nice 1.17.6xx in the end.
Race: I knew before the start, as everybody in SR4L, that the bussines here is to endure, to last, but failed to set a race pace with this idea on mind and stick to it. Anyway, I was very cautious at the beginning and lost two positions and the start, Jerry and Harri got over me before enter Saint devote, stayed in P8 for a while till Jerry crashed heavily, then I was P7 behind Harri, knowing she will crash sooner or later. At that moment, laps 2 to 5, my main concern was checking who was behind me and how close, it was Tobias who were doing slower than me, so no danger at all. I should have maintaining the position and forgot Harri, but not, Greed took over me as I wanna be as close as possible to her and in doing this I brake late entering the Chicane and lost control (maybe because I was using a very extreme brake bias and blocked the rear wheels) got medium damage on rear suspension ,after one more lap, I decided to enter and repair, 25 seconds later I re-entered the race in P15 and last car in track. That was when I begun to think and start lapping at a consistent pace doing around 1.21-1.22 per lap and taking extreme care on my new tyres. This was enough to recover position after position until I got P7 again around lap 27, massacre all around me. I was 11 seconds behind Ed when I braked late again, entering Saint Devote this time and blocked the rear tyres again, hit the barriers and got freeze, shut down the PC and saying good bye to another lovely Monaco race. I love this one hour races because add the need to learn how to control yourself while driving as fast as you can instead of playing just bumper cars, a real plus for a already great game that can go beyond and converting in a great sport. Those were my thoughts when Gorka, DJ and Rik overtook me like a storm exiting Pottiers around lap 20. See you at Zolder.
