For the third race in a row, I was hit by someone and broke my front wing on the first lap which ruined my race again. This time, it happened at the exit of turn 6 when piboye or Fruitsalsa spun because of too much throttle under the rain, collided together and pushed me into the wall to the right. Only piboye escaped damages but Fruitsalsa and me had to pit for wing replacement. Race ruined again. I found myself in 14th position after my pitstop.

I don’t want to blame anyone but the result is that I lost precious points to the Championship again. I'm sometimes pretty good at losing points by myself when my driving is not accurate but it's difficult to accept when it comes from others three times in a row... :!:

Really sorry for the contact Bobino, I understand the frustration (as I had to go to the pit as well for repairs). However, I am not sure that the crash was caused by too much throttle under rain condition. On my end, I felt contact on my rear right, as if  I was stuck on Piboye's car somehow and pushed to the right uncontrollably. I figured that the he might have turned a bit into me (trying to avoid you) and I did not realize it. Still, I cannot confirm the intention of everyone as I don't fully grasp the event that lead to the incident (maybe Piboye point of view could help).

As far as I know, I think that the whole situation is just a racing incident, nonetheless an unfortunate one...

I already bought myself a thrustmaster TX servo, with a ferrari f1 racing rim and the t3pa pro pedals before the race, they arrive on the 23rd

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to record the race.  I still need to find the right graphics level to allow recording without framerate issues.  Bobino, sorry for the bump after the the first turn.  I think N was slow on the right and I swerved to avoid him.  With respect to the incident at the hairpin, I don't think I had any wheelspin.  I think that Fruitsalsa went off track and I didn't make enough room for him when he came back on because you were on my inside.  He clipped my front and sent me into you.  I probably could have left more room for Fruitsalsa, but I didn't realize how much room you had opened up on the inside.  Since Fruitsalsa went deep into the hairpin and then went off track, I think he should have slipped in behind us.  That is my opinion.  I'm sorry it hurt your race so much.

 

[Bobino12]

Don't worry for that race incident. I was just annoyed because it was the third in a row for me. That's racing…!

I hope you'll be back on track with us…!

My 1 st lap of this race    https://youtu.be/NKgW2-XBP1w
Anti stall glued me at the starting line  but I caught back pretty fast
I was doing ok by staying close to Falco in the first 5-6 lap and then on lap 7 my wheel unclipped from the desk  ....
and All Hell went loose !!! 
At first I tried managing it but it kept moving ...So I had to pause de game and set it back firmly this time !!
but when I pressed pause to go back in game I didn'T have any throttle ...
had to pause again to set a throttle ... not sure how it vanished ...
still got a point but disapointing again
