First race of the year.

I'm still coming to terms with a new wheel. The Fanatec rig I got came with a round wheel, and it's a bit larger diameter than the old one. I think that means I have to move my hands more for the same amount of wheel rotation. I don't have the new button positions memorized either.

I got a really good setup from Thom. I gained 3 seconds by the second lap of practice with it. But the low rear wing may have got back at me, as the race moved on. I started spinning in slow corners. That's when I found I didn't have the same HUD and none I had on top had the position dots so I had no idea where the pack of cars was. That, plus my wrist getting sore, was enough to hit the eject button. I'll see what I can do about wrist stress and finding the HUD I was used to.

I hope some of you had a good race.
