    Congrats nicko on just a superb performance last night.

    A bit of a mix of emotions last night, some personal frustration with my performance and a great deal of enjoyment from what was a cracking race.

    The night started of well as I layed down a 55 flat for qualifying, I was unsure if the time would stand and that proved to be the case as nicko expertly just lowered it to a 54.9. As the lights went out I slotted into 2nd behind nicko and was happy to just sit back at this early stage. Quickly however I wasn't happy with the way I was driving by missing apexes here and there and then almost going into the astro turf at turn 1 on lap 3. Next lap I did find It and I lost the rear immediately, luckily I didn't take anyone out and somehow managed to keep it pointing in the right direction to only lose 7 seconds.

    Now in 7th place, I still gave myself a chance for the win, but I was still making small little errors and almost had another spin. It wasn't till about lap 7 that I was finally making some progress and began to catch up to Beau and the 4 car train led by Mustafur. The 1st car I passed was Mint when he spun coming ouf of the spoon curve and I was think to my self, noooo Mint, as you were right in the middle of a fantastic race. Next up was Beau, and I got him around the outside of the hairpin. Alfa was next as he looked to be struggling with tyres. Nearing the stop, I was right behind Rotor and he wasn't making it easy so I had to stay behind as all 5 of us pitted on lap 11.

    The congestion at stop wasn't to bad and I came out effective 4th as Pringles hadn't made he stop yet and 9 seconds down on nicko. On cold hard tyres the car was very very loose, and that caught me out at the last s curve, An expletive was let out and I lost 9 more seconds. From here on I liked the hards much more and started out punching out consistant lap times, and was quickly behind Beau once again but this time he made it much easier. My pace was excellent on the hards and by the finish I gained all the time back from my 2nd spin.

    I recall at @stucar17's house picking up the rims for my Impreza, and he did a speedtest which didn't even crack 0.10 for either upload or download!

    Round 6 Drivers Briefing.
    1. Be mindful of track limits.
    2. If you run wide and exceed the track limits, you then cannot attempt an overtake at the next corner.
    3. Overtaking. When attempting an inside pass on one of fuji's long radius corners, you cannot complete the pass if you understeer and contact is made.

    Also, with the F1 and cricket on tomorrow, does anyone want to extend the race start time by 30min/1hr ?
