Hoping to make the race, but California is burning again and our community is under an evacuation watch with car packed and ready to go, just waiting for the 5 lights to go out. Calfire helos have been able to go to work with the sunrise and its a great sound. 100 degrees and fighting fires and rolling blackouts, kinda puts this in perspective.
I do enjoy leaning on the tires in some of those turns, but blue flags are in my future I suspect. Gl today, it has been an interesting series.

That could have been a perfect race for me. Consistent lap times in a comfortable 4th place, no mistakes, tires were good.
But then I lost the connection during my pitstop. And again after I rejoined the race. Damnit.
Amazing list of awesome achievements: 5th Lotus 25 2018, 4th DRM 2019, 5th Williams FW14 vs. Ferrari 643 2019, 3rd Ferrari 312T vs. Lotus 72D 2020

Congratulations on the championship Dominic! Very fast, convincing and stable racing and finishes through out the season. Even though Michal finds some crazy speeds with these cars. Very fortunate this race to miss you both on that little punt at the last corner and had the chance to lead the race for some laps.
To me this is still like on ice on low speeds since I managed to make a half spin, correcting left and right slowing to under 100 kmh, but there's just no weight on these cars.... ehhhh. The rule is you have to loose it. Had the same pace and same crap happening in practice several days ago so I said: Screw it, it's okay enough, I'm not touching this anymore until the race night haahhh

I did not get disconnected today which was good. However I made every mistake possible short of taking out the leader. Surprised of the 6th to be honest.
Congratulations, Dominic!

Thanks Filip and Stoyan.
Not my best moment there hitting Michal (the leader). I was so far behind I was trying to practice a move for when I was near enough but locked up!
I enjoyed this season and in some races like today my car was a joy to drive. I think you have to use an unrealistic setup to get good handling so I would like some changes to the mod before racing it again. Thank you to all who raced and in particular Michal and Filip. Hopefully the 1 hour F1 races continue and personally I would love to see one of the RSS cars next.

Agree and congrats on winning the championship!
And I'm glad you obviously didn't get evacuated Jim
