    My excuse for losing will be, not enough practice time. And as I said it first, no-one else can have the same excuse
    LOL. I'm looking forward to this, I just hope I drive as good as I can. Playing GTA5 ATM, but I'll get on GT Sport soon to check I have the required cars and then put a quick livery on them.

    What's tonight's track? Just finished doing some basic liveries for my cars. Now hoping to get some practice to avoid becoming a crash waiting to happen.

    Yeah I know. But I'm sure I read somewhere that we'd find out the track 1hr prior. Maybe I imagined it. Cheers mate.

    So apparently I'm a cucumber now because I'm useless like Narain Kartikeyan. But unlike him, I actually won something last night so maybe not. It's not very often that I get a chance to beat Div 1 drivers on merit instead of luck, so how useless am I @xlxy90? I probably scored more points than you so if you want to talk the talk, you need to walk the walk.

    Great night last night. The concept is brilliant, pity we got drawn a few bad apples. I'll just remind everyone that although these races are supposed to be a lot of fun and no one is particularly familiar with combos, braking markers, lines etc, Common sense goes a long, long way. Be cautious heading into a crowded corner and take extra care if you don't know the combo, steaming off into the wall at turn 1 has the ability to ruin a fair few peoples nights. Same goes with basic driving etiquette. That should not go out the window when a community series comes in, Seeing drivers overtake me off track and proceed to punt 3 cars off the track as well as blatantly squeezing someone into a wall and not even thinking about a redress, IS NOT OK. Credit where credit is due to those of you who waited for drivers that you impeded. You guys know who you are and it makes racing with you that much more respectful. To those of you who think you may have been in the wrong last night, no stress, This is a fun series but it's a lot more fun when no one is running dead last for 10 minutes because someone got torpedoed on lap 1.

    See you all next week!

    No comment on others prowess, I'm only responsible for mine. Standard rules apply as far as I know. Have fun , don't be a dik! It's a life motto :) Look forward to next Sunday.

    Saw a few too many instances of some very desperate driving. I thought I may have missed the memo re prize money.....? Maybe try testing the skill of executing passes without any contact?

    Apologies for my poor driving, missing many markers and ruining people's night. I will try my hardest not to make it happen again

    Relax man, we all made mistakes. Some were unlucky to involve others, some were blatant f@#$wittery. I think yours were honest slips.

    I think I should explain myself.

    You had an off exiting the first corner at Goodwood and was approaching you pretty quickly. I had two cars right behind me and I didn't think I'd be clear if I moved over to the left to get around you. So I went right instead which meant going on the grass. I thought I'd get away with it but I bumped you, which set off the Newton balls and caused the two cars on the left of you to go off the road. Yes, it would've been smarter to back off but I would've lost two positions instead of gaining one. Then again I have no idea why two cars were even trying to get past you on what is a very narrow track. We basically went 4 wide which doesn't work - nobody backed out and that's why the accident happened. I triggered the inevitable but I wasn't the sole reason for it.

    I seem pretty good in odd cars, particularly those with low grip.
