    Congratulations @N64TheStig007 - Would have been good to keep racing you in the last 3 Laps but @Bryan_F managed to lose it in a place i've never seen anyone lose it in the dry and with new tyres before and took me out ;). You would of had a good view of it anyway.

    Once again Congratulations great drive :thumbsup:

    Sorry to flash. Game is flawed. Would have been disappointing to start from the back. Sorry
    Sorry also to dan. I know you dc' don lap one but by lap three when you rejoined there had been too many positional changes to restart.

    Unfortunately MINT got punted at the first corner by Dan's Lag, Dan Dropped L1.
    I wasn't really looking forward to this race, however it turned out to be a cracker! All i wanted to do was make my car so wide warrior didn't have a way past! :) I dropped it on the grass into skyline, and had it all crossed up, I could see Warrior's eyes lite up! haha but I Held in there :) MINT had a brilliant recovery drive!

    I'm still pinching myself, I can't bloody believe it! The feeling I have right now is utterly indescribable.

    Despite the end result, I thought I had zero chance of scoring a victory tonight. With the aliens amongst us doing high 09's, even with a 50s+ gap, I thought they'd eat into it easily. I could only pray that everyone would fight each other and fail to gain.

    Thankfully my pre race migraine cleared and the race was was go. I was extremely puzzled to see flash not next to me. I was waiting for him to move up next to me, but it didn't happen. At launch, I moved left as he was coming fast. Flash lost it at turn 1 so I was already up a position. My driving was very sub par in the first 2 laps, so much so Razor caught and passed me down Conrod. If I wasn't going to win, I wanted my teammate to win, so I offered no resistance. Luckily, Razor outbroke himself at Griffins Bend on the next lap, and I was through again.

    From there on in, I noticed the gap to killercarl in 1st was dropping at a rate which was manageable. The guys in front were fighting each other were still gaining, so I thought if I could keep a consistent pace with no mistakes, victory was achievable. The aliens were too far back, so it really was a case of, don't f*%# it up!

    At the halfway point, I could see killercarl was only the length of the main straight ahead, so the confidence began to rise. I'd pulled away from Razor, but AO, aussie, Bryan and Killer battling hard, overtaking would be a big task indeed. I knew Razor would gain on me while this was going on, I had to dispatch them quickly.

    I finally passed AO with a move into Griffins, so then it was onto the top 3, Bryan, Aussie and Killer. Killer had been delayed at Murray's corner, and I took the opportunity to take 3rd place. With 4 laps to go, I only needed to pass Aussie and Bryan. The tension was unbelievable. On lap 11, Bryan made a critical error on the approach to the Chase, and spun at extremely high speed. Aussie was dreadfully unlucky to be caught up, and suddenly I was in the lead! However, amongst the calamities, Razor and AO were now hot on my tail.

    I couldn't relax for a moment. I wanted lap 12 to be the final lap, but I had to keep going for another 3! The pressure was getting to me and, with a drivers as good as Razor and AO gaining, it was so hard. Lap 12 was very good, only a tenth off my PB, but lap 13 was not good, losing 2 full seconds, and Razor was right with me, he even ghosted into me through the Dipper!

    Final lap. The sweat was pouring off me (should have put my fan on high), my stomach was churning, and my eyes were messing with me, I was blinking far too often! I had to keep telling myself to keep going, the race isn't over. Self doubt crept in, I'd blown MANY races in the past, but no way. Not a snowball's chance in hell was I letting this one slip. It was by far the hardest ever lap I've driven. Once I crossed the line, I was gone. I felt completely empty and drained. I then instantly thought of Bruce, who undoubtedly would have been watching that one with a cold one in hand, maybe even two! Rather embarrassingly, emotions got the better of me. That one was for you mate.

    It's rather ironic that in one of my most hated cars, I end up taking my biggest win in my ROOZ career. And really, a 1-2 with my teammate and a past ROC winner in Razor, it doesn't get any better than that. This more than makes up for the disappointments of the last 2-3 seasons. I'd like to dedicate mine and Razor's performance to my GRT teammates, they are a fantastic group of drivers, but don't break them up!

    Sorry if I've gone way too overboard here, but in my 2 years of serious online racing, this is the single greatest moment and I'm certainly going to savour it! Thank you so much guys.

    Cheers, Jono.

    I knew you would be more than happy with this win Jono. It means a little more to some of us. Very happy you took home the trophy. Bruce would be proud. And saying about time, you've competed in every ROC to date.

    My deepest apologies to @aussief1 for ruining his race.

    I clipped the grass into the kink before the Chase at over 250 km/h, so I was a passenger from that point on. I thought I didn't make contact with anyone during the accident, but clearly I was wrong. I guess it's fitting that the rookie made the most rookie-esque and silliest of mistakes. :oops:

    Despite all that, I had a great race. My congratulations go to @N64TheStig007 for his first (and hopefully not last) RoC win. :thumbsup:
