Just finished my first race weekend, goal for quali was 20th, got upto 19 but over a second behind 18th, lots of work to do still

Had quite a boring race after the first few laps, didn't really gain much at the start as i was real careful around the first few corners
The goal was 18th, was running 19th after 3 laps, went for a prime-soft-prime strategy, as the softs wear out real quick (might be my driving though)
Felt like i was driving a cargo ship the first few laps, big difference between near empty on softs for quali and full fuel load on primes at the start of the race

Not sure what happened but i gained 2 places without even noticing, when i came out of the pits after my first stop i got the message that the track was clear, when i got control back over the car just before turn 1, i got hit in the back and i got the drive through

By the end of the race i hadn't overtaken a single car, except for a careful little battle in the first lap
But i did finish 14th (there were 5 DNF's), got in first of the 3 slowest teams so i guess that counts for something

This is all on the hardest difficulty btw, all assists off except for TC
