I watched your race earlier on the live feed, there were a few newer drivers who couldn't handle the vicious turbo of the 98T, causing havoc. But those drivers either learn quickly, or never bother racing again in the series. You did really well to pull it back to 4th earlier on in this evenings race. Yesterday was similar for me... I couldn't get a decent quali lap in because of traffic, then got tangled up and dropped to about 12th place... took me 7 laps until I had a clear track... then it was fun, but scary, working my way through until I finally finished in 2nd place. I think a lot of the problems arise because of the default setup.... I've shared my setup with quite a few guys who seemed to be struggling, so next time they might be a bit safer on track.

Haha just to be clear I am not blaming the other drivers, I know this car is a beast to drive, and I got a reminder when I lost it at the start all by myself :-)
But in other series when you qualify in the top, you (usually) fight against clean drivers and do not outlap too many slower drivers.
In the Lotus 98T it's another story, you have to slalom between the blue flags and this makes the race pretty random...
Judging by the number of incidents other drivers got, I suppose I am not the only one having this problem ;-)
