Today I had strange race. Zandvoort. Qualified 3rd. In the 3rd corner got bumped from behind and lose 2 places. At the end of 1st lap the engine starts to fail. The car barely accelerates. I don't know whether the failure was caused by the bump or I mishifted in the heat of the first lap. Anyway, I am trying to hang on. Lapping consistently in 1:40.30-1:40.50 (it is not that difficult when you can keep pedal to the metal all around the track:>). On the straight I can barely shift up to 3rd gear but I take normal line, so inside is for grab. Surprisingly, AI drivers are not even attempting. After a 3-4 laps, Ferrari passes me between 3 and 4. Still nobody tries to pass me on the straight. Somewhere around lap 12, I am almost a lap behind the guy ahead, but now the leaders seem to be in the traffic, that I created:> One of the leaders crashes out, so I am 5th again. Somebody makes attempts to pass me between 3 and 4 again, but now I am choosing left side of the track. Unfortunately, few laps later engine finally dies, so I didn't learn what would happen in the end :< Alex (alexti)
