Race:

Fastest Lap:

DSC
Lap 1-Torana and Zharvs
Lap 17-RHINO

From P2 to 16th in 1 corner, thought I'd would of been out of the mess starting front row, ahhhh nah, pole axed by someone into the first corner. Not cool.

Some tremendous racing there, especially in that second stint with @SPL Racing and @mikeruntbike.

A bit messy at the 1st corner, but only lost a place or 2 with so many cars trying to fit through the chicane at once. Binnied it a few laps later and wound up back in 14th. Not sure how I managed to come back to 4th but the car really did feel good on that 2nd set of tires, particularly in the high speed bends.

Softs or mediums

Well thought I was about to get my first ever win. was out in front by over 6 seconds when I Seemed to have a game glitch or car malfunction of some sort. For some reason something jump under my car which seemed to be my front wing or some mysterious object of some sort, because my front wheels were off the ground and no longer touching the road. WTF. Never had anything like that before and still a bit baffled. Disappointing but what can you do. On to the next one.

This is like what happened in the meet n greet at sakitto for me. I rode a kurb and it's like my rear suspension broke witch doesn't make sense with damage off

So after an abysmal qualifying performance I was looking for a good start and managed to gain 4 spots on lap 1. Yewwwwww might still have a chance....yeah nah
Started losing time to Stu and the top 3 then a spin dropped me back further. Pit crew decided I was fine on the tyres I had and wouldn't change them
Was a battle of the overheated worn out tyres VS fresh new tyres after that and it didn't end well....
Drop round sorted then, unfortunately I fear I need to find some more pace if I want to be in this championship fight.

get ready for another massive Race Video from me! a whole 2 minutes!!
Lol i wasnt even mad. was a bit humerous if anything. nothing anyone couldve done so its all chill.



EDIT: Just remembered that im supposed to stay in lobby after pulling out of a race on this game. sorry if i caused any instability. will take note if im in that position again next time round.

Whoever hit you appears from no where in your mirror so someone had a lag issue

Was Torana, he was ahead of me then he simply disappeared....now I know where he went

yeah i spoke to him afterwards, all good. thats what i meant by nothing anyone could do about it.

Wow what a race! Considering I didn't even make the start line before I was flipped on my roof I was pretty happy to bring it home in 6th place.
I just couldn't put a lap together in quali and ended up starting 11th and as soon as we got off the line a few cars beside me locked wheels and fired over into me flipping me upside down. I had no reset car button mapped so I thought that might be the end of my race right there. But I eventually rolled back onto my wheels and got to start again. The pack was already going through turn 1 and I thought I was in for a lonely race but with a few incidents ahead of me I tagged on to the back of the pack towards the end of the lap and started picking my way through.

I had some awesome battles along the way with @its-benny-racer @Slambobagan and @Spidey_11 to name a few and we had some great side by side battles keeping it clean and heaps of respect given. I pitted at the end of lap 13 for a fresh set of softs then started reeling in Rhino who I thought was going uncharacteristically slow (now I know why) I felt I had good pace in the final stint but Benny was flying and drove away from me leaving Slambo chasing me down. I had to hold off Slambo for about 6 laps and he finally had a good run on me coming into Ascari on the penultimate lap. He stuck his nose up the inside and I gave him plenty of room as we went side by side through the first section, I took plenty of inside kerb into the right hander so he could go around the outside but he must have taken too much on the outside and run off into the wall leaving me to coast home for a hard fought 6th place.

I was so glad I didn't give up after the bad start because that was one of the most fun races I've had, almost every lap I had someone in front of me I was attacking or had someone behind attacking me.

Congrats to @POPPINFRESH1234 for his first div 1 win (do you still want to go back to div 2?) and to @stucar17 and @v8power383 for rounding out the podium.

Yeah all it took was for 2 cars ahead to go side by side through a couple of corners and you could make massive ground on them and get in the fight.

Just getting in early, but i wont make round 2. Got family outing for my birthday

Congrats poppinfresh1234 good race mate and to well done stu and v8power for he top 3 finish.
