Yes, we had a great close battle in the first stint but you were definitely faster, especially in the third sector. There was still over an hour left of the race so I thought it better to let you pass and then get pulled along.Really enjoyed my first ever race on ACC. In practice I had the pace to be right with the front 2 but just couldn't do it in the server as my fps really suffered and cost me the confidence to really push. So I had to play it safe.
I had a good fight with @OJRacing for a good portion of the first stint trying to get past, In the end I think he let me go? Then after a while I was surprised when I looked at the hud to see I was in 3rd place and only around 6 seconds behind p2. I decided I would be very happy with a podium in a field of around 40 after having the game not much more than a day.
Once I pitted I was horrified to see the stop would take well over a minute! I didn't think I had any damage so never checked the pit stop settings while driving. I was pretty disappointed and decided I would just try and get as far back up the field as I could knowing any chance of a decent result was long gone after going from 3rd when I entered the pits to somewhere around 20th when I exited.
I passed a few cars on my way back up until I got to @Battenberg. As he said he really made me work for it, I was trying absolutely everything, round the outside, cutbacks...everything. But he was placing his car so well I could never get enough of a run at him to make anything stick. Eventually I think a cutback worked out of the hairpin but I misjudged the width of the car in the next turn and there was a slight bit of contact but gave him the place back and I think I got a run out of the chicane the next lap and managed to get past.
Really enjoyed that fight and the racing in this game. Hopefully I can figure something out for a few extra fps on large grids and am looking forward to doing more.
PS. Does anyone know how to get the hud to show in vr recordings?
You had really good pace so I just couldn't keep with you. PS thanks for not dive-bombing me into the final chicane!
