Quite disappointing for me as well unfortunately.
I had a decent qualifying with the March, ending up in P6. All was lost at the start though. I had a good getaway from the line and tried to squeeze myself between the grass and Dave Coyne. It barely fit until Dave had a bit of wheelspin and moved ever so slightly to the left pushing me onto the grass. He probably had no idea I was there and what hit him when my front locked into his rear tyre, and we both went into the wall. Ugh. I wish I had backed off, but it just happens very quickly.
After extensive damage repairs I came out of the pits right in front of the leaders. After a few laps I let JP go by. Then when Ed approached slowly but steadily, I was about to let him through, and he was suddenly gone. A few laps later, DJ disconnected from the game. What was going on?
My car was feeling terrible, pulling to the right and I had to fight it a lot, but I did my best to gain places. I was mostly helped by the high attrition rate. After a while I was behind Ed when he came out of the pits. I overtook him and again Ed disappeared! Sjeez, I am spreading my bad luck it seems. Well, actually, spreading my teammate Antti's bad luck! :p He decided to skip this race due to lack of training, having had several accidents in the past races already.
I was in P10 when I noticed I was gaining between 1-2s per lap on P9, and figured I'd try and make up this last position before the end of the race. However, I was tinkering too much with settings and statistics, didn't pay enough attention to the track, touched the grass in the very easy full speed left hander (the one which is now the Variante Ascari chicane), lost control of the car and crashed with lots of bits and wheels flying off.
I have no words. Just a terrible display from start to finish from me
