GT5 DTM 2: The Wrath of Carn!!

Oh the wrath of CSP's!!!! If you watch me on the first lap you'll see my reason for not doing qual or competing in much of the race, but anyway sh1t happens. Poor team Brown suffered connection issues and go home with no points, so I will stop my whinging. Well, there has been plenty of movement on the ladders. Well done to team Chew, a great team effort.

Yeah Enforcer, i think everyone has a "what if" story from that race .......

Was good fun last night, started 3rd and got what i thought was a cracker start, but then found out Chev had the black screen start, so i followed Snake into turn 1 close in 2nd. After 2 laps i came down the back straight and into the fast left to see nothing but a wall of smoke. Holy #^^%$$^ i thought, and stayed well right hoping not to get a penalty, or hit snake who was spinning everywhere. In my attempt not to hit anything chev managed to get passed through the chicane, so it was a Team Chew 1-2 for a few laps with Tek breathing down my neck.

Ist pit saw Natman get passed (not sure where enforcer was at this stage) so i think i was in 3rd for the second stint. Natman and i had a great little battle for about 4 laps, lots of passes and not one touch. Good racing mate, respect !!

After my second stop i was back to 5th, with Grinder ahead on dying tires. I got passed him after 2 laps when he ran a little wide through first curve. I pitted with 5 to go for my softs, and came out 2 secs behind enforcer with Natman about 7 secs up the road. We closed the gap pretty quickly and then i made my most critical mistake running wide through spoon, loosing touch with Natman and enforcer with just 3 to go. I managed to get back on it, and with the help of natman who had a lose through spoon 1 lap later, was up to 3rd and tried to chase down E.

Last lap E also had a lose which saw me close up down the back straight, and get close enough to think about having a dive into the chicane. I just wasnt close enough, but when he decided to slide across the line i though he had gone off a bit early and hoped i might have pipped him, but for the 2nd time in a row he got me by .1 of a second. SPEWWIN !!

Was an interesting race, i made 3 mistakes which all up prob cost me about 20 secs......running wide at the hairpin twice at the end of both my stints on the mediums, then also stuffing up spoon with 3 to go. Had a great lag battle with Aussie for a lap, that was interesting :lol:
Bad luck Snake and Aussie, after the indy round was looking forward to another good battle. Stupid network. And Natman, great battle mate, was looking forward to watching on replay, but i got the black screen when the race finished so i lost it when i had to reset.

Good fun, bring on the next round......oh and well done chev, very good drive.

yeah Stu me to m8,

my race was like a scary hell warping nightmare!! :/ and it went like this.

started Somewhere i don't know... BLACK F ing screen.... 90% of the field binned it in the 1st corner. then i got slapped, smashed, beaten like a egg and finally shaken like a big cocktail like i wasn't even there :lol:
then worked my way through the field, seen snake spin, seen Chev pit, then got slapped out of the room. so yeah fun, interesting and all rolled into 1....

Bad luck aussie, it was interesting when you got booted mate.. I thought i got past you about 4 times before you would come barreling through me again to take my spot. :lol:

Just before you got slapped out of the room i had a run on you down the back straight and we were side by side coming into the fast left, then i saw you disappear out to the right wall never to be seen again !!! I was worried for a moment that we made contact but then i realised you had been booted......bugger

Snake, mate have been there before......on those nights you get so frustrated you do want to kill someone........is probably better to park it and walk away rather than keep on going and hate it. I did it last season and felt bad for it, so your not Robinson Crusoe !!

Well I've got new bits and bobs on their way for my pedals, so hopefully I will be around next Monday. I ended up doing a few laps with the controller, and some with the controller for accel and brake and wheel for steering, and some with the wheel and pedals and just driving with the brakes on. Needless to say I crashed heaps!! I did park it for a bit and stripped the pedals, rebuilt and lubed them again, but to no avail. So annoying, I had the little Audi pulling 56's on the softs and 58's on the med's during sober practice, and it felt pretty stable. I'll save your fingers Chev, I wouldn't have kept up with you though.

Now, few things to discuss. Next weeks race looks like a toss up between Tokyo and Fuji. I think Fuji was the winner (one with the chicane). Also I'll need someone to run some laps and figure out lap times and roughly how many laps a set of softs will do. No use me doing it will a controller, I'm complete rubbish. Also, this Monday is good, but Easter Monday I'm away. Happy for Stumbles to host if he is around, or post-pone for a week if loads of people will be away. I don't want this series to interfere with S7 is all, so I'd prefer it to keep rolling on. Plus it will mean one less week till Spa!!

@Anon, if you want Anon i can TRY and crunch some number for you, soft tyre lap distance and all that technical stuff!

yeah m8 don't stress to much there wasn't contact. had what thought was good little battle but as from what else i seen in the race this may not be so :/
if you did that, i'd be throwing BIG spanners at your car or a stick of TNT KA-BOOM!!!! no more STU :lol:

this post is a little harsh m8.....this has nothing to do with me but IMO chev its any1 race so there no reasons to be all big headed about it when you win, and i remember you carrying on like a busted arse whinging two bob last week, so yeah we all know who has got pace here, we will see how you go next week 40kgs fatter....
