I didnt see any reports for this race, so Ill be the first hoping others will follow.
I was having 1:46s at practice, I was feeling I was going fast but compaired to the rest I was teribly slow.
Then, at race, searching for my pit announcement button while racing (I always hit "hi" button, sorry guys) I accidentaly moved seat forward.
I usually enjoy seeing fully the driving wheel and cockpit, but now I was pressed forward, I could just see the gear numbers on wheel.
I didnt notice at first in the heat of the race, what I did notice was that my lap times went to fast forward, I even had a 1:43!!!
Hmm, I must change my cockpit ways.
First race I was hit at the start, I dont remember much more of it, concusion I suppose?
Second race I had a great start, I passed a lot of people at the straight, rushed to T1 to find it in a big mess, I braked as heavily as I could trying not to hit car in front, I succeeded but no, following car hit me hard, I hit car in front and I ended up back to front looking at cars coming fast my way.
I was furious but now I realize that I must have produced lots of smoke, guy following couldnt see me to avoid me.
I crawlled to pits, big pitstop, a waisted race.
Third race (reversed grid) was really hilarious for me.
When it was announced, I was happy to exclaim that at last I would see how starting lights look like.
Then, I entered race only to find out that THE CENTRAL MIRROR OF MY MEGANE WAS OBSCURING THE LIGHTS AND I HAD NO WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHEN RACE WAS ON AS I HAD NO CAR IN FRONT TO SHOW ME, I WAS IN FRONT ROW!!!!!
I tried to swerve car a bit, I managed to see the lights, I had a great start and then I noticed I got a drive through penalty for jumping start

I entered pits at end of lap one, seems my luck left me completely in this race.
Much fun though, even the 5sec lag was an (lolol) unforgetable experience
