I was in that race (Ferrari), but I quit after 3 or so laps.  Umm.

I was showing my brother how cool GPL was and thought -- hey a
17 car PRO race at Monza -- should be great to show off GPL!

Fortunately, I didn't have time to get a qualifying lap in :)  Most of the
cars were gone on the first turn/lap.  Since I was up to 4th after
the first lap, I retired -- no way to show cool traffic action when
everyone died on the first lap :(

It does not make an interesting race when everyone chooses Lotus.
