Does GPL have 'random' mechanical failures? I just at Spa in the Ferrari F1, driving just like I had during hours of practice, or so I thought. Almost at the end of lap 2 my engine blew. I didn't think I was revving it too hard. In fact, I'm quite conscious of it. At the end of the race, my reason for DNF was Piston. Does this mean that I was the sole cause of the engine letting go or is it at all 'random', like in GP2? Normally I wouldn't care, but this time there was a huge crash at Eau Rouge on the first lap which took out 9 of 15 starters, leaving me running 2nd :))) I was on course for my first F1 podium so I'm a bit pissed off:) Oh well, at least I was classified 6th - better than my qualifying position of 8th. -Nick
