Qualifying: Random Grid - P11 (last human driver)
Race: P2
Objective: Finish 11th or better PASSED
Lap 1 Good launch at lights out. Get in front of benny for P10. P7 coming out of turn 1, passing earmack. P5 exiting turn 3. P3 after exiting turn 4. Lap 2 Fast lap. Lap 3 Boothy off at turn 6-7 complex. Move up to P2. Lap 4 Bravo spins coming out of turn 11, letting me take over P1. Lap 7 Fast lap. Lap 12 Pit 1 lap early from P1 for primes. Rejoin P2. Lap 22 Fast lap. Lap 24 Pass earmack while he's pitted to take back P1. Lap 31 Outbrake myself and go wide into the gravel at turn 3, letting earmack past to take back the lead. Drop to P2. Lap 35 Pit stop 1 lap early from P2 for primes. Final stop. Rejoin P2. Lap 60 Finish P2 on the lead lap +5.677
Both Bravo and boothy got disconnected after about 1/3 of the race, BUT both of them were behind me and not closing in. My mistake on Lap 31 at turn 3 was moot; considering how much faster earmack was, he would have gotten me soon anyway. I did get back to within about 6 sec of him when I lost the use of KERS for laps 53-54...I slipped back to +13sec but at race finish found myself just about 6sec behind because he had run out of fuel at the end of the final lap. If not for that KERS failure, I could very well have passed him for a win. It would have been much closer, to say the least! Still, I think P2 is about what I deserved. No less than P3. I was very happy to collect several fast laps, and also have a clean race free of any contact or spins. Much improved over race 1. F1 2012 definitely requires more care and discipline, but I think that makes it more like real life and therefore more fun. Feels more like we're doing what the real guys do. Definitely more of a challenge to hold it all together over 100% distance though!
