FORMULA1_4_ FUN :)

Practise? or Not To Practice?

Either way, if you get punted into the wall and end up with no wing your screwed! 

Valencia - Kart smashes into Striker on T1 and catapults him into me = broken wing
Germany - Angry smashes into me and Striker on the first lap = broken wing
Budapest- Drew comes from off circuit, spins me into the wall = broken wing

I have had good practice at the last 3 races and have a good grid position to start the race but can you see a pattern here? I can, and it's called getting F***** over. 
It may be a coincidence but I have just about had enough of it. So Drew, don't tell me practice is good because when you end up in the wall every f***ing race and finish last by over a lap, practice means sh*t. 

Q-3 Was able to do some serious practice as it's been raining for the last 4 days and I haven't been to work, was pretty happy with my time as I was very close to poll.

R-5 As if I haven't seen enough rain already, F*** me it's Pi**ing down, just what I needed, all that practice goes straight out the window and now we go into survival mode, lol.
Started off pretty ordinarily but ended up in second as cars went off track and Livo D/C, then it was my turn, lost it and let Drew and Angry through, was side by side with Drew down the front straight and Drew misses his braking point and collects Angry on the way through so I take advantage and shoot up the inside while the boys are 4x4ing in the mud and as I'm going by Drew clips my back wheel and spins me into the wall, 1st broken wing, limp the whole track back to the pits losing a lot of time. 

After trying to hang on around the track in the atrocious weather, I end up planting it into the wall again, 2nd broken wing, back to the pits, rejoin behind Moss as he laps me, then he makes a mistake and I shoot by but let him by as I would only hold him up, next couple of corners and he loses it and comes straight back on track in front of me and BAM, nowhere to go, 3rd broken wing, lucky the pits were only 2 corners away, by this time I have had enough and I was then 1min 35 sec behind Angry so I set out to try and get the F/L and came close but in trying I think I broke another wing, oh well, so much for practice.     

Well done Cam, good win.

Whatever happened to waiting for cars to pass before coming back on track?       

Q: 5th ; spent more time learning the track again really, have too many setups loaded at this circuit for some reason and luckily the parc ferme being off allowed me to find the best one out of all the saved ones. Was happy to see how tight the grid was after Q

R: 2nd ; the first few laps were very interesting with everyone sliding and going off and bumping and pushing....all that did was allow Moss to disappear into the night. I made a mistake when Livo was off in the grass and dropped through the field ... then got back up and was side by side with Gazza going down the front straight ... hit the brakes too late and nearly took Stubbs with me, when I rejoined Gazza came up alongside and we collected each other and went right into the wall . I was in dead last for quite a while trying to find some sort of rhythm and finally I caught up to Angry, Kart, and Gazza and was just trying to take it easy racing with them.

Angry was giving me a hard time as his car was faster in a straight line, so I turned the fuel mix up to try and fend him off. I pitted one lap after Stubbs for new wets.

The 2nd stint was kinda boring minus the fact that I was catching Stubbs by a few tenths per sector. Moss had made a mistake so it was me chasing down the lead. Made a couple of mistakes along the way, and for the 2nd race in a row, I finish 1 second behind the leader in 2nd place ... guess that's all I'm good for now 

Good racing guys, the wet definitely made this race a bit more interesting. Satisfied with my wet weather performance, just bummed about the critical errors that ruined my chance at a win.
