It happens I guess. You had a very eventful race but ultimately you got a podium and you take the lead in the championship. I enjoyed my race-long battle with Niko, but ultimately my race was written when I chose my setup before the start, the tyre pressures were too high and I couldn't keep them switched on after lap 40. Wasn't expecting to be on the podium today, let alone leading most of the race. I wish I had more time to practice and prepare these days.
@scawen: Might it be worth adding a disclaimer to some of the screenshots (https://lfs.net/screenshots) saying that it's WIP and not actually part of the game yet. It seems some people are getting confused about that point, seeing it as false advertising.
I normally would, but I was limited in the practice I could do leading up to this race. It's been a while since I did any FO8 races where tyre life was marginal.
It was a shame about the terrible etiquette in qualifying and hopefully we don't get a repeat of that in the remaining rounds.
I was bamboozled by my tyre wear in the race and I'm kicking myself that I chickened out ultimately losing second place. Well done to Botsi and Adam though for having more faith in their tyres. Looking forward to a close points fight with you guys.
There's plenty still going on if you know where to look.

I'm increasingly finding myself needing to use the virtual keyboard during races because although I have a wheel with many buttons, there are still times where I need to fiddle with other settings during the race via the virtual keyboard.
The current placement of the keyboard means I have to look into the sky and focus on where I'm pointing the gaze-cursor rather than looking where I'm going which, as you can probably imagine, is tricky, even on the longer straights. With the keyboard lower down, it would be possible to use the gaze-cursor and still be able to keep an eye on my general heading.
As I mentioned at 2:18 in my recent video, it's my only complaint with the virtual keyboard. It would be nice if we could adjust its position (along with the text input field) via a set of controls like the new mirror controls:
The LFS website and forum were only updated a couple of years ago. The LFS forum used to use vBulletin but Victor and the team decided to do away with it and rolled out their own forum which has simplified the experience at the expense of a few fancy (essentially unnecessary) features.
To say that updates to the forum and website are 'overdue' is daft, both are still fit for purpose. That said, I wouldn't be against a mobile site though, at least for the forum. It shouldn't be too hard to throw in a few media queries to make the forum more user friendly on mobile.
