Dont believe waiting for 10 minutes was an unreasonable request. Dan said he'd be there at 8:40 at the latest and he was in the room at 8:38. Fair enough to start the race before this time but at least restart for the bloke if he shows up when he said he would. The race wasn't even 2 laps old when he made it into the room. He must have signed in seconds after the race started. Surely the host or room captain at this point could have brought the race to a hault and restarted. I quit from 7th the instant he joined hoping others would follow suit, but that was not to be . See you all next week for 90 minutes of slamming into walls......
A messy one with a couple of DSC's. Very glad to see the back of that wastepile. @emmo46 I'll confirm lap details tomorrow.
Well, that was a race and a half!! A few qualifying glitches for me meant that when i came out of the pits, i couldn't see anyone, but every 20 or so seconds the game picked 1 driver to appear on my list..... after about 5 minutes i was able to see everyone and could finally qualify, but with half the session gone, i wasn't able to get a perfect lap together, and was left settling for a 26.8 leaving me 6th. Got a half decent start which allowed me to capitalize on Nicko's false start, putting me in the 5th spot before turn 1. I got into a rythem and begun to follow the alien train around the very tough and sandy Laguna circuit, and when Mustafur made a little error into turn 2 just a lap later, both me and Matt were able to sneak by. On lap 3 Matt was the next to make an error and made a meal of the final sector, allowing me to throw the Lexus up the inside into the final corner, stealing a podium position. Unfortunately he wasn't hanging around and less than a lap later, retook his spot into the corkscrew. However TRL_Beau soon disconnected, allowing me to jump back onto the podium. From there i just hung onto the back of the leading duo and was able to hold Mustafur at bay as well. Just over halfway around Lap 16 i began to lose the top 2 as our tyres started to go off, going for the no stop. From there it was fairly easy for me to hold onto third as Mustafur and Nick pitted. Getting another podium in Div1 is epic, and i hope to keep moving up the order! Laguna gave me a good indication of what i need to improve to challenge these guys more often, Tyre wear, and my pace on old tyres. Hoping to use that as motivation for Monaco, and end this season that i was expecting to be a disaster, to hopefully grab one last podium by season's close Well done to Warrior on the last lap pass, and Mint for a fantastic drive! #NeverBackDown -Bobo
@COME_AND_GET_ME7 They way it turned out, it was unfortunate. When the race started, some people gained and some people lost, to have a fair competition the race wont be restarted unless there's serious room instability. @GTP_DHolland we did see your post earlier and we decided to give you until the end of qualifying to sign on. The race started at 8:35, 5 min after your earliest arrival prediction. There's also some people who could have other activities planned after the race, so we can't wait too long. No one was disrespecting you and you could have been more courteous to others racing and not write massive text walls, potentially wrecking someones race.
