    If anyone would like my spot on the grid, I'd be happy not to race this track

    Really fun combo tonight, some great racing throughout, in particular race 2, which I've shared in game and posted last lap and a half below with @Hatfield @VARDZ and @CaptainRisky21. Also some great close racing with @Blunty075 in race 3 with us trading places almost every lap. Bad luck on the final lap mate where you broke a little too late and sent it sideways. Congratulations @CaptainRisky21 on the win, you really do seem to do well on this track!

    I'm gutted about daylight savings - I was practicing with GTKing earlier and I was feeling it, got into the groove, really would have loved to have raced.

    Hopefully back next week guys!

    that was indeed epic.

    Shame the final race where it all matters happened like it did (for me anyway)
    @LE_bananajosh had a big lose out of the sweeping esses and had lost control across the track but he didn't get ghosted and instead got a t-bone from me which sent me off too lol
    So in the end I had to just push and make up spots from others making mistakes
    Thanks to @Viperzed for pushing me along which meant we were able to catch @gtkingx at the end when he made his chicane of death error
    Maybe things would have turned out better if I ran +5 BB all night instead of -5 in the first 2 races lol

    I'm sorry about the last race on the first/second corner, bumping @Hatfield and redressed but also about 5 other cars passed me :(

    Having staid that, so much fun and I'm getting better

    That was the best round of the entire season so far no only in the way of a result but also the car track combo the overall evenness across the field. I think that this format should be used in the regular Sunday season for at least 1 round.

    I like the format for a fun, handicapped series like this but I don't think it's fair to use in a proper competition. Qualifying is about setting the fastest lap so you have the advantage of clear air, not how well you can navigate through slower drivers

    (talking my own book here as I suck in traffic but I think my point is valid)

    Stoked to have just made the grid for the final on a whopping 0 points! Cheers for waiting fellas! Racing was bloody tight from the looks of things and I capped it off by making every mistake under the sun trying to overdrive the car lol. This'll be a similar scenario for me every 2nd week unfortunately so fingers crossed I can drill out the silly mistakes from the back.

    Cheers boys, yeah you could say I love this track haha! Made some rookie errors in the two qualifying races which left me starting 6th for the final, but i managed to squeak up to 3rd i think after T1. Blunty and GTKing came together a few laps later at T1 and I slid threw into the lead.
    Great racing @Blunty075, @UrsineSaturn9, @VARDZ and @gtkingx

    Cheers mate unfortunately I didn't think I raced well at all. First race I hit Emmo eventhough I was going slower than normal through T3-4. Race 2 was ok but when I got close to Emmo I backed off to avoid a repeat of Race 1. Race 3 I managed to get into the lead but I kept making mistakes and didn't take advantage of having a lighter car. The last lap I had flashbacks of daily races where idiots just punt you and stuffed it on T1 once again ruining my race. Extremely frustrating.

    Sorry for the delay in getting this round up... The series will have to give the Fittipaldi the "flick" as it does not have the ability upgrade the power... So what do we do... 1 of 2 things 1 Use the season 11 car the GrX Renault Sport R.S. 01 or we vote on what season car we enjoyed the most and repeat that. The call is yours. As usual please like this comment to confirm your entry.

    because of the minimal options to adjust power and weight for the 'bop' this series uses, he had to drop it

    "So what do we do... 1 of 2 things 1 Use the season 11 car the GrX Renault Sport R.S. 01 or we vote on what season car we enjoyed the most and repeat that. The call is yours"

    I hated that S11 car so my vote is we vote haha (I'd vote for the Mazda TC at Redbull full track in the wet)
