Hey All,

If you're not aware ESL have been running a European Cup for quite awhile and #69 and #70 are qualifiers to an even bigger tournament so thought I'd take part! 

In this Cup, I had to learn Imola and the Aston Martin in the week for the race and the races ended up being quite dramatic in parts!

Qualifying Race: Wrong settings were used in the lobby so times were a little slower, however that was a nice and easy race.

Semi Final Race: My wheel came off it's stand during the race which led to my speed varying dramatically as I tried to reattach the wheel. I let Hunter go on the start finish straight due to the gap behind but with the wheel off it caused a crash. After the crash it was full panic mode and by the end I had sweated a massive amount but managed to qualify for the final (Top 6 Qualify).

Final Race: The final my qualifying was awful so started near the back managed to have some good battles throughout before the penalty. I then throughout the entire race worked my way back to the main group on the final lap. when the big accident occurred.

Accident: As me and the driver infront approach Hunter who has/had penalty he's in the middle of the track (Unlike the rest of us previously who had all stayed left and right (Me: 12:05, Growling: 12:48, VP_OckerRocker 12:58). So we slightly touch as I can't hit the kerb as I'll go flying just as he turns, we both get stuck together briefly but the speed difference meant we unattached. That forced him more wide, and me wide coming into the last corner so the battle for the position that I was fighting for on the last lap was off. 

Hunter then unfortunately took it upon himself (I guess he was extremely frustrated as I watched the stream afterwards and he had many penalties) pushed me off the track, and then decided to full on wipe me out. 

Many people know I am all for eSports but this includes professionalism and sportsman like conduct you can see where I slightly touched Tx3 at the start of the final race I let him continue on before accelerating out. This kind of behaviour isn't good however ESL investigated and punished accordingly.

Enjoy,
