Q: 6th, didn't do one bit of practice so was just hoping that
the setup I had saved in the system was going to be good enough.
Went out and did a handful of laps and when I was a whole second
faster I stuffed it up under braking in the last corner.
Should've been higher on the grid.
R: 2nd; honestly quite a boring race for me...I have yet to see
a successful turn 1 in this race in any league, and as usual I
am the one who finds himself backwards after a couple of corners
::) . So I did what I did best and that's play catch-up. I
clawed my way back up through the field, got past Stubbs and
Moss in one corner when they both missed the brakes at the last
corner, and from then on I had zero action.
My whole prime stint I literally was not even trying. I was
driving smoothly and not aggressively whatsoever because all I
wanted to do was just bring the car home. The gap to Moss little
by little was expanding behind me so I could tell that he was
struggling (or the car was not performing).
Don't know how I feel about this format from a "frontrunner"
perspective. I don't think the car performance to talent ratio
really is going to make this league racing interesting for
anyone but maybe people have a different opinion .... Livolay
drove that Williams like it was a Red Bull for god sake ...

Quick race mode PB: 1.36.9 (Mclaren)
Q: 3rd. Well done Gazza!
R: 1st. Started on aggressive fuel strategy. Passed striker on
the start & took the lead when Gazza went into the barrier at
T1. Increased my lead but couldn't get the fastest lap of the
race. Well done kartdude for that accomplishment!
Overall thoughts: I liked having 2012 car performance. Did you?

Q - 7th. even tho i was on the primes i just didnt have the
pace. from earlier prac i was consistently .5 of the Rosso/ 1.5
of the sauber/williams/ferrari
R - 3rd. (4th but moss recieved a bad one if he posts a vid im
sure we can remove it if its un justified)
got thru all the carnage at t1/t2 and found myself behind the
williams. he was building a solid gap to me. i was about 2.5secs
per lap slower. i was qwikly caught by moss, then drew. i sorta
held drew for a bit then found myself catching moss slowly on
his wearing options. i made my only really bad error of the race
when i locked up at the last hair pin undoing all my hard work.
i pitted when due and come out in 6th 8 secs behind moss. over
the next 13 laps i get this done too zilch, and along the way
have challenges from kart, and gazza and i think striker too but
they all made errors.
Overall i was happy with how i raced tonight. in a very slow car
i only made 1 error and that was the lock up at the last
hairpin. i defended well and held my nerve from some of the "now
faster racers". If everyone got thru t1 cleanly i would have
been lucky not to come last. the force india is well sub par
compared to the likes of the williams and sauber and lotus
possibly. and if the others kept it clean it would have been me
and moss bringing up the rear lol. allthough we can gather good
information on how we can rate each car.
our next move.
put moss and myself up a higher car, im happy to team with him,
at sauber say. striker can go to williams. angryman can move up
into rbr or mclaren, etc because lets face it. if gazza or kart
didnt make errors they would have rolled everyone including
livo. and i dont think anyone deserves the STR or FI

Q6th. Could've been way up but never got it right on last
corner.
R 3rd (bumped down to 5th with a 10 s penalty)
Started good off the line past a bunch of wrecked cars then
found my self squeezed bettween gazza (who had spun) and Andrew.
I had no room Andrew comes from the outside arround me and my
wheel touched his, then he spins and I got a penalty.
Then I passed a struggled stubs.
My options were waring fast so I pitted lap 9.
Had a little battle with gazza and kart dude.
After everyone pitted I got my 3rd place back and just drove a
lonely hopeless race.
Toro rosso= no grip, too much understeer, bad acceleration, bad
brakes, and by far the worste car in the field.
Probably would've been the same if I used a catherham
In qualy if I don't do maximum I won't be even mixed with u guys
And in the race every lap has to be a quali lap.
A car that struggled to get into q2 cannot match with all of u.
And getting third is just surprising
