After I went off (at speed mind you and quite scary at the time) I also damaged my lip and front bumper, but I decided to finish the lap as quickly as I could and then finish the round.

Actual time on that lap was only 4 seconds slower than my best lap.

I did read the rules but still think the penalty is a bit harsh. I would have thought the 'slowest time' would apply to a big off where you would not post a competitive time. Also this was after the oil spill on the track and I have no other explanation why my car would veer off to the left under straight braking.

Anyway shit happens and I also think its fine to go through a stage where you vent some frustration, I'm not looking for any sympathy.

It all feels better when they hand you a $5 perspex trophy at the end of the year.

Was definitely as interesting morning.

Not unusual to get the slowest time if you have an off. As a general rule, 4 wheels off the track = excluded.

Unfortunately it absolutely bucketted down just before my 3rd run. Regardless of what everyone thinks about the 35's, they're the same as any oversteer bias car. If you're at the edge of grip they're going to be a handful!

Very nice driving Brockas. I really like the early change ups at the start of corners so you don't have too much torque.

All Paws. Mate don't worry about it. You weren't going to win. If you came off, its your fault. Not theirs. We have all come off before. I did in the dry there and nearly rolled. Pooed myself. Its learning though. You have done 2 competitive track days, you're not Lewis Hamilton yet.
