Evasive action at the start set me back but had some good battles before the pitstop. A bit of a panic when Ricky blew up in front of a bunch of us and everyone checked up. I got into the back of Gary a bit there but we continued all right.
I deliberately don't set a pitstop in the setup so I won't get annoyed by Pit-In messages after 4 laps when I have 14 laps of fuel left on tracks that weren't created properly. The crew therefore is supposed to put the same amount of fuel in the car as I had to start the race. I pitted with the fuel just starting to sputter as I came in after completing 15 laps but left the pits with only 8 laps of fuel -- three laps short of what I needed to finish the race.
A lot of short-shifting and coasting and eventually giving up positions (held on for a while there despite the short-shifting!) got me just barely to the finish line in 6th. Looks like with the attrition I should have gotten on the podium! Darn it!
