well that was epic. Two out of the five audis were in the lobby, hi @A_Higher_Place ! 190 points I think?
I never would have survived or thrived without the collective mind of this forum, thanks everyone!
Qualifying looked like rain on flying lap, so nursed inters through the outlap. I had quite a bit more wear than my practice this morning, maybe because my outlap was sunny and I had practiced with cloudy? Rain didn't show up until about a third through the flying lap and the inters were already cooked. Rain was hard, but I brought it in for a Q5 at 10 minutes!
Same weather for race. First lap hards, pit for inters. I stayed out on inters and had fuel for 4 laps because of the rain. Bar 2/3 full for nearly the full four laps, when I got a chance, went to TC5. Traded places with just about everyone multiple times and I let anyone and everyone by me if they wished. I was just trying to get though it. This lobby was good, only the leader ran away from everyone.
Moving along, I might have had a chance for a crb, until the final lap; I have an off at the first carousel. Nooooo! Because of the pace of the lobby, I went from P5 to P11 in the blink of an eye. Finish out the race for P11. P3 though P12 finished within 10 seconds! Well done @A_Higher_Place !
The P11 doesn;t bother me too much, but the minor error bugs me A Lot! Still, not sure I can manage my nerves though another race later, we'll see.
As much as I might complain about the squirreliness of the Audi, I really enjoyed driving it throughout the series. Except for bathurst and this error, I did reasonably well with it at my dr rating.
