Well, let me start out by saying that I was greatly disappointed during qualifying. Not so much by my times, as by the conduct of some participating(SP) drivers. While on my warm up lap, along with everyone else, I was trying to leave room between myself & the driver ahead, when I was passed on the inside by the car behind me. Now, this happened as everyone was coming around for their first hot lap, not when qualifying was already under way. I then watched as the driver who had passed me & the two drivers that were ahead of me, raced each other during their hot lap.
Now, on my cool down lap, headed into the pits, off the racing line, I was tapped from behind by a driver on a hot lap. Now, I was not spun or anything like that, but I could have been. I was off line & still got tapped. :(
Now my race was spent following some slower cars, as I looked for a way past, I got caught up by some faster drivers behind me & lost positions till I was about 15th. I never got into a great rythm(SP) but I did put up lap times that I had practiced at, so was fast for me. I was catching up the car in front of me, till I was about 2.5 seconds behind him, we both came upon a backmarker who had spun off. He placed himself between me & the car I had almost chased down. I spent the better part of two laps behind him, trying to get past. Now he would at times, let off suddenly in certain parts of the track & he did this going into T2, it suprised me & by the time I got on the brakes to avoid ass ending him, I tapped him & spun him. For this I am sorry. (I will have to watch the replay to see who I spun) But, by the time I got past him, the car that I had chased down, to get within 2.5 seconds of was 12.xx seconds ahead now. I was just a little upset by this, but hey it was a fun run, not life or death, but still I know blue flags had to be showing in his cockpit. So, from here I just tried to keep it on the tarmac, stay out of the way of the leaders & finish the race.
I'm not mad about my performance, as my fast lap was around the same time as my fastest lap I practiced at, so I did run my pace from practice. But, I was pretty pissed by some of the silly actions of some of the participants.
