Far too many errors cost me a podium today which is disappointing but happy to finish 4th after surviving the chaos of the midfield. Wish I practiced instead of spending all day driving around Bathurst trying to BOP the Gr.4 event. Mentioned it in the lobby chat but I think we do need to introduce new policies in regards to room resets.
Oh lordy. The 2 spins on the first lap didnt hurt to much. But I didn't even think about the stratergy. All I did was drive until she said she was thirsty. Oh you want a drink car, I will pit. Lol. When I pitted and I was the only one, I knew I was in trouble. It hit me like a light bulb, everyone is only saving half a lap fuel each stint. All of a sudden I have to make 6 laps or pit again. I just had a chuckle to myself and turned it fuel down to 6 and started going backwards. I should of just ran full power and pitted again. A record amount of complaining from me this season. Which I topped off with a amazing run of points lol. One season it's going to be clock work for me. Hopefully next. Lol. even though I had a shocker of a season, I still had a lot of fun.
After seeing the fastest laps and overall finishing times for last nights race, It would have been a solid last for me. So I'm not too peeved in missing it. But i still would have enjoyed to be there. Even having a completely clear track would have not helped me. You guys are rockets around The Nords. Very impressive. This track I did a fair amount of practice before my time restraints kicked in a couple weeks ago as i knew it would be my most weakest. I did many test sessions. Even did 4 sessions on a day i was unwell and stayed home from work. So i got pretty comfortable with the track. My consistency was solid but i knew areas i could improve slightly on. I knew what times i was capable of on hards, RSS and RS. I had good insight of what a perfect overall race time would be for me if everything went the right way and i was involved with no fights or track battles. But it looks like there is far far more for me to learn here. As even my best efforts on a clear track were not going to be good enough for div ones second attempt at the race. Very well done to all who participated in the final showdown at a very difficult track. Overall i think i had an oustanding start to the season. Eclipsing my own expectations. I worked very very hard to squeeze as much out of the car and myself as i could in both the test season and the actual season. I'm proud i was able to mix it with the best and i even managed to score a podium! Wowee! I had some fantastic battles throughout the season. Keeping up that level of competitiveness is something i unfortunately couldn't commit to as i found out 3/4 into the season. The amount of practice i needed to stay competitive is/was no longer feesible in my new work schedule. I will continue to race, as i love to race and that feeling you get hitting the perfect line or attacking or defending from someone is unmatched. Just maybe a little slower and less finesse now. Congrats to flawless season to @KeedenMcdonald a brilliant 2nd to @Bryan_F and a fantastic late charge by @ssman244 who i think scored 3rd overall? Big thanks to all the hosts we've had even if some nights got a little messy. Big thanks to @Hatfield for all the organising he does and @Matthyus for all the amazing stats and charts. Cheers everyone. Heres looking to the next season and more fun!
After trying to sort out rooms etc to get people in we still ended up starting late despite not having to run qually! When we did get started, I found I had my options set to auto instead of manual that was me done. Not being able to select the gear I want would've sapped what pace I could muster and potentially hinder those behind so I just dropped out. Gutted that my own pre-race mistake cost me a good possible race.
Thank you to everyone for your attendance during Season 6 of GT Sport! Congratulations to @KeedenMcdonald on another championship in the top division, we can only hope more of us can rise to challenge you! Big thanks to our room hosts and captains @Bryan_F @JonoStan96 and to @Matthyus for his great work on the tables.

After seeing the fastest laps and overall finishing times for last nights race, It would have been a solid last for me. I doubt that. I didn't beat my RH tire time fuel saving on RS lol
I’m also uploading the Round 6 race, my mates and I have been enjoying watching the demo 1 coverage, hopefully josh can get around to covering the replays. If not, I know what being busy is like, it’d be all good
Cracker race Risky . To be basically 1sec a lap behind Beau at Nurb (his best track in comparison to others I think) is frigging . If your voice doesn't drop soon, will be suspicious you are already .
Yeah much as you would of been bored you had a really good run to pull that gap to 3rd, congrats on that P2 man definitely well deserved
Yeah, even though about 5 of us held 3rd at some point in that race, we had nothing to respond to you guys, real impressive risky
