Wow, what a season starter! First of all many thanks to @Florian Koetz for the quick support before the race. During the qualifying @Jan Studenski, @Simon David Scott and I found out that every time a message popped up the chat, there was a chance our game crashes. Jan wrote, for testing, something into the chat and as soon as he pressed "Enter" both of us had a game crash. This happened like 4-5 times; I logged the crashes.
Then Florian advised me to disable the chat in the multiplayer.ini. I did that and also changed the car from 2012 to 2013 specs. After that, I had no more game crashes, really really weird I can tell you...
Now to the race! I qualified P17 which was good besides the fact that I had no practice because of my game crashing issues. Especially the dry line in the rain conditions was something completely new to me. Braking 5cm on the wet track and your car would go crazy! Because of that, I earned three cut tracks which resulted in a 10sec stop & go penalty. I worked my way up and ended actually on P6 behind my buddy @Mohammed el Gueriri!
I need to apologize to @Sergio Mambretti for the contact at the hairpin (Lap 3), that was completely my fault! Another big mistake by me was this situation here:
I am not sure why I did that, definitely a big sorry to @Roman Prikryl. You braked quite early, and my instinct was faster than my brain, and I did the overtake under the code 80 (Lap 26). I gave on the following lap the position back. This was an idiotic move, and if that means I receive a penalty for the next race, I am accepting it to 100%. Once again sorry
All in all a very nice race, my first rFactor2 online race at all. Thanks
Don't worry, can happen ... my car broke the wing, but I could continue the race!
I'm so sorry for the penalties taken in the hairpin. With 2 wheels on the curb and 2 on the track still gave the cut..... Why?
