Same Sky

Round 4 · Circuito Montara

The paper

Circuito Montara stays dry, and the excuses go with it

Not a cloud worth the name over Portugal all afternoon, which leaves 63 laps and nowhere to hide. Everybody got the same circuit and the same dry road; what separates the sheet is what was done with them.

4 cars fail to finish at Circuito Montara

Elio Bassani won it for Aurelia Corse, but the number that will be quoted all week is 4. On an afternoon like this, finishing was a result and finishing well was an argument.

Circuito Montara runs 4 laps behind the safety car

First called on lap 6. A neutralisation is the cheapest gift in racing and the most expensive theft, depending entirely on where you were standing: every gap on the board went to nothing at the same moment, and nobody was asked.

Round 4 runs with the grid and nobody else

No entries were classified at Circuito Montara, so the reference race stands as the whole of the weekend. The sky was there regardless.

The table after round 4: Autopilot by 20

Autopilot on 26, and 8 rounds still to run. A lead built on dropped scores is a lead until it is audited.

The autopilot's race

The same weekend, driven by the game's own default calls — the line every entrant is measured against. Who these drivers are.
