    A solid win for me, capitalising on the Veyron’s superior straight line speed on this very high speed track. The tyre wear made the last few laps very tricky, but it would have been a comfortable win had I not half spun on lap 11.
    Not expecting to be competitive at any of the remaining rounds due to the car’s hunger for tyres and fuel, but we’ll see how we go.
    +1 for a switch to standing starts.

    At the end of that video, you can see the lapped @incey blocking me at the exit of the final turn on the final lap, causing me to lose second place. One too many beers this time, as well? :thumbsdown:

    Well, as long as you learn from it and become more aware of your surroundings in the future, we can put it behind us. Just saying it wasn’t intentional isn’t really a satisfactory admission of guilt or apology.

    Instead of criticizing his driving, why not offer a bit of advice on how to deal with race leaders approaching? It might be a bit more helpful.

    Worked well for me thanks @incey ;) but no in all seriousness would've been nice to drag @Bryan_F to the line without inceys help

    Sorry, I thought driving behaviour in blue flag conditions should already have been self-evident from driver briefings, rules and regulations, etc. Don’t block a driver behind when someone is about to lap you. It’s not that hard, surely?

    I’ve watched the replay and @incey did all he could except drive off track.

    RACING RULES & REGULATIONS
    If you are being lapped do not attempt to race the passing car. Blue flag rules apply.
    Meaning you must concede track position to drivers on the lead lap within a reasonable time frame
    A rule of thumb for a reasonable time frame is within four corners,

    OMG!!!!
    Is that everything @incey did?
    I have never apreciated people pontificating. As in most instances its like the pot calling the kettle black.
    I understand frustration as we all go through it at sometime or another.
    However the better race driver (adult) moves on.
    It happens in real life too. Though there, there is generally lots of money at stake.
    Whereas here its generally just pride.

    Just watched the replay I saved. @incey tried to get out of the way on corner entry by keeping wide in to the last turn. @Bryan_F came a smidge wider on exit than what he probably would have wanted and looked to be heading towards the barrier until he tapped incey..

    Just my 2c worth.

    @incey did all he could.
    @xlxy90 thank you for your thoughts.
    Maybe its getting time @incey got an apology.

    apology not required. if the public castigation ended that would be sufficient

    Forget it. I was just expressing disappointment at the situation. I’m sorry if people saw it as something else. I will not discuss this matter any further.

    @VARDZ please update the OP it's too hard to look through the pages trying to find out what we are doing next, easier to just look at the first page.
