{ Fernando Horta } → Formula Duude

First of all, "sorry, guys". My performance as reigning champion on season opener Brands Hatch was below every expectations.

I'm just a little brazilian; I've got flat tires; I'm a victim of sabotage!; etc...

I spent most of winter break racing on lesser known cars (Formula One, a bizarre open-wheel thing with a lot of horsepower, but no leather seat) and felt completely uncomfortable with my BMW this weekend.

The car simply had no traction at all, no grip, and after a few laps, no tyres as well.

After 200 excursions off track, 55 crashes and much, much time lost on gravel traps, my weekend was surely a succesful one: I managed to finish both races AND scored an unexpected point for fastest lap on Feature Race. Actually, that was the only lap I did 'ok', even with the car sliding all the way at every corner, every braking attempt.

Maybe I should retire to avoid further damages to my career... :)
