So, the secret to enjoying the game is to be bad enough that it's usually your fault :).
I mean, I had a race yesterday where I started on pole and after two corners I was last. Totally my fault. I spun that Miata like a mother. Total idiot. I did win a race though, from pole. It's interesting how with the same qualifying time you can be on pole in one race and then in P8 on another.
I started on P2 in another race, the pole sitter had a 1.something second better qualifying, so I didn't know if I can stay with him. I didn't at first, but on lap 2 I caught him, and instead of being cool I thought it was a good idea to try to follow through my bad section. Idiot mistake. The others were way slower than us, so I still got P2, but geez. I could have won perhaps...but nooo.
If you don't have the car you can't do the one make races either right? I couldn't do race 2 on Interlagos because of that.
