My 2 cents,
i tried the 80 th Escort, but my set, that offline was quiet good for Quali and Race, had to be adjustet new for online racing.
The start worked well and all the competitors around me drove careful.
I managed to overtake Wiege after a few mistakes he had and so i hoped, to finish 5..
I tried it with one stop and 60 ltr. for each stint, so that i could change the tires if needed after the half of the race.
When i had to make my pitstop, i saw JB in front of me. After an accident he obviously also had to visit the box.
So i had to brake early, drove directly behind him, when he hits a wall and afterwards stood crossways in the middle of the entrance.
No chance to pass him
Cool - so i just slowed more down and pushed him a little, to get through. Perhaps it helped him too, i don`t know.
Then, without pitlimiter in the Escort i tried to hold 5000 rpm cause i knew with 6000 you get a S&G.
Another guy directly behind me was knocking at my back a few times, so i estimate, that perhaps 5200 rpm were also been possible
...but i had not the courage to try that.
Due to that special Stop P5 was no longer possible. With new tires I could push on Wiege again but i would have needed more rounds.
P6 on Escort ( without limiter ) was okay at the end.
I had fun with the physics of that car and i have to say, that all - really all racers i had to deal with during the event, drove very careful and with attentiveness.
Many thanks for this evening
