Quite gutted about this race.

I had a good start, i think Cummings forgot or didn't realise to use the launch control and i made up a place at the start as a result. There's not much to say really, Labarde had a very quick pace and i was settled in 2nd. I came out of my first stop of two with Wood all over me due to my heavy fuel load. I was confident i could keep him behind me as i had a good top speed on the straight. All was going well until a problem i experienced with my wheel in a race a few hours previous happened again. Here is what i put in my race report for that race:

"I have a Momo logitech which all of a sudden stuck itself in to full lock and when it finally released itself there was no resistance. Except for when i would turn it at which point it was almost as if it was trying to give me FFB (i don't use FFB at all). Another thing i noticed was that only the light on the left of the wheel was now on and the one on the right wasn't as oppose to it being on before the wheel apparently breaking. After leaving the server the wheel reset itself and seemed fine. I've just had to retire from an FIS race after the wheel did the same thing, it's never done this before and now twice in one night. However in the FIS race i noticed the throttle stick open as well as the wheel locking which suggests to me it's a software issue.

Has anyone experienced the same trouble?"

Very dissapointed by that, i was on for a solid podium and possibly a win since Labarde retired. I'll have to regroup for Monza and hope my championship starts there.
