Qualifying
-------------
Managed to get in the 23s and I thought that was enough. Tried to improve but couldn't find a perfect lap.
Race1
--------
Sudden drop in fps made for a really difficult start. I managed to survive until reaching the chicane where, even approaching quite slow, it was imposible to find the turning spot with such few fps.
Race2
--------
At warmup decided to leave track, close rFactor2 and start it again. That seemed to "refresh" something and got driveable fps this time.
Being in second place I managed to get a good start and get the lead at the first corner. Managed to get a comfortable driving through the first half of the race. I just decided to drive without many risks and without taking care where the other cars were as long as I had nobody in my mirrors.
at a moment found Rikard who remained in front of me, just at the spot where he didn't get any blue flag. That was a little confusing as I didn't know wether at any time he was going to let me lap him.
At lap 12 my pitstop arrived, 48 seconds. While it took place I took the time to see where everybody was. Then I saw Rikard was the one being in second place so I was relieved that even he probably had already stopped I would still have a comfortable lead.
Laps went by, but at around lap 18 the tail suddenly went off when braking for T1 without a chance for control, hitting hard the barriers, really wierd car reaction. That left me with a highly damaged car, steering turned almost 45ยบ to the left at the straights and heavy wavings at the brakings.
Tried to drive the car for the remaining laps so I could get some points but 4 laps later just lost it and crashed heavier, finally retiring.
P.S.: Well, at least the worst race of the season has already gone.
