F1 2012 Race Report - RaceDepartment Random Fun Series 16 Yeongam

Team: Toro Rosso
Participants: 6 + 6 Intermediate AI
Qualifying: P4 1:44.xxx (Start P9 due to grid penalty)
Race: P4

A grid penalty...then 2 drive throughs in the first 3 laps...and yet I emerged victorious over my direct competition and scraped out a solid P4. I honestly thought I wasn't going to be able to catch benny, but I didn't give up. My setup really started to pay off about half way through the race, and when I got back on super softs I started FLYING. I was able to push hard but still preserve the tires and reel benny in. It was really tough though. Definitely had to earn it, but that's the best kind of race, when it isn't easy, and things look bad, but somehow you pull it out of the fire. I really had fun having benny as my teammate in the race too. Nothing like a little teammate rivalry duel! We even had a perfectly orchestrated team pit stop sequence on lap 32, where I pulled into the pit box just as he was exiting pit lane!
