Hi,
is it so bad to be the last?
I drove yesterdays 4Fun event at Linas Monthlery on server #3. There was quite a chaos soon after start. Someone flew on my roof and sent me on fly against the fence from where I landed back to the track upside down. Waited for the "crew" to turn me on wheels again but just when it happened someone hit me again and I woke up dizzy somewhere else upside down again. Waited for the "crew" and found myself nose pointing to wrong direction. Half a minute already gone and car affected by both outer and inner damages. Third last at that time and no high hopes any more.
After some laps suddenly about half a dozen drivers vanished due to connection lost (Same operator?) and soon there were only half of starters left. I was the last at that time and always when I was able to climb up a position the driver left last quit within a lap or two. The same happened so many times that I finally finished fifth and last.
Why is it so difficult to be the last that it is impossible to continue? Race is long and anything can happen to drivers ahead. Why don't you quitters try the ETCC attitude where driven laps matter, no matter if you are first or last. There are always exciting moments left for you if you just go on!
Cheers,
Timo
