If so what happened where did you finish and why didn't you overcook it and
crash?

Yup, several even. I finished where I usually finish against the AI... wrong
half of the top10 or just outside.

As to why I didn't overcook it (on those occasions), there is only one
reason: focus. Finishing a Gp at the Ring is no more difficult than anywhere
else, you just have to keep your mind on the job. Babying the engine helps
too.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I did, a few months back. Drove slow, mostly nine-minute laps. Bent the
suspension a couple of times and had to correct for a general wobblyness toward
the end of the race. Went a lap down with about half a lap to go as there was no
way I could hold off the leaders with my f***ed up suspension. Finished eleventh
out of twenty. Haven't run any other full-length Grands Prix. :)

Well I can play the Halleluja Chorus using my armpit, if that counts for
anything. :)
