Another good F1 track indeed. Very similar to Bahrain: Flat, long stretches with sharp corners mixed with a few complex set of turns. Sadly it would only be me and Darrel this time around. But we had a blast regardless. It was also the fastest race night ever, finishing around 8:45. Even after a few restarts for technical problems.
Race 1: After a harry start, Darrel and I made our way through the grid. We both saw action and got into messes here and there. Unfortunately Darrel took a spill that sent him into a sand trap with flat tires. A tow truck would be needed.
Race 2: Darrel could have qualified but chose to start in the back with me. A turn 1 incident put me out of line and Darrel zoomed by. I managed to final catch up as he was battling for the top 1-2-3. It was very exciting for a bit until I managed to swing past him going through the second to last hairpin. At that point, it was fairly straight forward until Darrel's software crapped out and kicked him. Fortunately he got back in exactly 1 lap down. I was able to give him his lap back and we finished in precisely the same order we were running.
Race 3: Sadly, it would be very similar to race 1 for Darrel. After a bit of abuse, he'd get spun going through a hairpin and locking tires, causing a blow out. Up until then, it was some very thrilling racing.
We travel to Saitama, Japan for the only road course consisting of entirely left hand turns and....SNOW!
