I think it's a pain in the ass. Last time didn't went well for me.

2. Which real life racing series are you following? What is your favorite?
Formula 1. I'm looking forward the release of F1 2017 by Codemasters.

3. Who is your favorite driver of all time and why?
Ayrton Senna. I was born in 1985 and I still remember the 89, 90 and 91 seasons. He was a true inspiration. I also watched when he passed away in Imola 1994. He is the best for me.

I will not actually be able to make this race this week unfortunately. I know I was just promoted to a full time driver before the race. But some unforeseen things came up that I must attend to.

1. Bathust is a very long and technical circuit. What are your thoughts about this circuit?
Well, this will be my first time racing here. Needless to say that it has been quite the learning curve in the few small practice sessions I have done. I do enjoy a good challenge though. I know I am not fast and will be a good 3-4 secs off the pace at best, so I am focusing on consistency and keeping my nose clean and hope to get an ok finish by keeping the paint and fenders on my car.

2. Which real life racing series are you following? What is your favorite?
I keep helf an eye at best on Xfinity, Trucks and Indycar. Mainly follow the Nascar Cup series, F1 and NHRA.

3. Who is your favorite driver of all time and why?
Dale Earnhardt will always be my #1 and the reason I fell in love with oval/circuit racing. But growing up at drag strips with my grandpa and uncle, I had the privilege many times of meeting John Force. His larger than life persona always gave off an aura around him which made him seem like the most bada$$ man alive to a young Hootie lol So Force is a very close #2

3. Who is your favorite driver of all time and why? my favorite driver of all time is dale earnhardt....the way he would fearlessly push a car to its limit is the definition of racing. then when he got out of the car he was just a normal guy.

Q: 8th. R: 8th

Very disappointed in myself. I didn't get to fully show it in race pace due to damage, but I felt like I had a car that was a few positions better than my finish. I was sitting in 6th after the first lap shinanigans. Got in the wall early and instead of risking an accident, just tucked into 8th behind Quatro and TSpottr. Then I had a horrible spin in the Esses that cost me a good 15-20 secs. Pitted on lap 8 moreso to fix damage since tire wear was pretty good considering the type of track. Had good pace after the repairs and just pushed it too hard and got into the wall again. Put myself a lap down on the last lap to make sure I didn't have any effect on the finish. Gratz to Mats on a deserved win with a dominate car.
