    the room number isn't posted.
    I apologise I forgot the start time in the OP
    Best bet, is to get all people listed in the OP as particiating onto your friends list, days in advance.

    Thanks to all that could make it.
    Apologies to those that couldn't
    @Viperzed dsc early
    @Yung Astray couldn't see the room as he had not yet sent a friend request to @Bryan_F and his privacy settings didn't allow for us to send any friend requests or messages to him via psn

    Was a difficult race driving that car. I threw away 2nd with 2 to go and @OZIMO-TUBBY_85 was ready and waiting to grab it with both hands

    Car is tough to drive. Kept it on track and made the most of @KeedenMcdonald being away.

    I was chasing you at that stage and wondered why you speared off, that explains it. bad luck.
    I don't understand it, I did better in this car than the Renault, made far fewer mistakes. I was using 2 TC so that helped me a lot to maintain control. Tyre wear and only making one 8 second mistake allowed me to move ahead of the two stoppers and a couple of other one stoppers that struggled with their tyres to move from 10th to 5th. Had some really good battles along the way too.

    Practicing for this race I managed to do consistent low 1:23s and even the odd high 1:22. Come Quallifying the talent dried up & was down the back end! Then proceeded to jump the start & cop a penalty to put me further back. This car is not the type you want to have to play catch up with! Did some great laps at first to get back in touch with @T F Eccles & @Tristan Jones but played way too much in the sand to be a threat to anyone really.
    Can’t believe I’m saying this but bring on the Megane!

    I set out to drive the thing to the limit (turns out my limit not the cars) but stay on the track i.e. no offs. Was happy that I achieved that goal and improved my position by one. Manged to keep up with the mid-pack for 2 or 3 early laps after benefiting from others' off track excursions but soon found myself in my own pack of one for the remainder of the race. One stopped at lap 15/16 and slowly extended the gap back to @Tristan Jones.

    So, having been lapped by @xlxy90 with about 4 - 5 laps to go I watched his lines. braking marks etc from behind. Clearly the car (and by that I mean the whole GT Sport simulation) is capable of being driven much faster than I can and it's a little frustrating. How? What's the secret?
