I understand the drop round but only being 10 points behind you was unexpected

I've done a 2:17.5 on a killer lap in the 458.

EDIT: This is a day lap. Someone told me this was at night - if so, disregard

Indeed it is a night race

I didnt understand it. I thought if you miss a race you use it as a drop round. I never realised it was the lowest scoring round, that just means you dont even need to be the best to win. I've had 1 win and 4 podiums but because mine was a better finish i lose more points, that to me is abit stupid. Oh well what will be will be.

drop rounds make sense if its a long championship, which this isn't. I understand its hard to make all the rounds, for various RL reasons, but w.e. I'm ahead of Cain now but I've only done two races, while he's done 3.

Actually a more drastic way to look at it is that LMR Ascari has only done 2 races, and he's P5 cuz both his races were race wins.

This is a reminder from the stewards team:

If BOTH of your headlights are damaged and no longer work, you are REQUIRED TO PIT IMMEDIATELY TO REPAIR THEM, regardless of the mandatory pit stops.

Failure to do so will result is disciplinary action by the stewards team.
