Here is couple of photos of me and Johnny. Most of my race I drove behind Johnny with no change getting past (or close).

Then he pitted and I set two fast laps with warm tyres and Johnny had some problems with his pitstop. Then I pitted.

Image
I was sure I could get past :lolno:

Image
Like a total n00b I hit too much throttle and my wheels started to spin :thumbdown:

Image
and Johnny got by :wave:


Well, I stayed close and he made mistake some laps later and I was able to pass. In the couple of last laps I started making small mistakes and Johnny got real close. When we started the last lap he tried to overtake me outside in the first corner (I chose the inside line).

Somehow I didn't lost it and was able to finish 2nd. :clap:

My main goal was to get some wheel to wheel racing experience and that is excatly what I got :thumbsupright:

(those smilies are so cool, have to use them :pork: )

Up until yesterday, I was getting fed up of always ending up in the middle of the pack, with everyone else miles away. I was glad to get an entertaining race this time around. :cat:

I underestimated how tricky the full pitlane exit is; and I ended up hitting the wall (without receiving damage) because of wheelspin, before running onto the sand going round the corner. Crap driving on my behalf.

Nice driving to hold on to second place Timo, it looked like the pressure was getting to you. :cat:

I actually hit the wall too (without damage) but I didn't go to the gravel

@Timomies and Jonny705: I was watching the replay on the storefront. The race was ok, but the battle between you guys were really fun :)

Shota, did you see how much "fun" it was in first place? I wish the early collision hadn't happened as I think the 3 of us would have had an epic battle.

I think it would've been epic mate we were close all the way round the first couple of laps :(
