GT6 Division 2 Season 7

I drove into the wall on last lap after first lesmo, I couldn't believe I was going to get a podium.... and I almost didn't!

I hope I didn't hit @Adronaught, he vanished from my screen after my first pit stop!

What a race! I'm incredibly tired so i'll type up a race review tomorrow haha! But gosh, what a season!
Some real ups and downs for me, getting really results in rounds 2 and 3, but managed to get back up and prove my worth with a 1st and 2nd! and a few coulda-been-podiums if it weren't for a few cock ups!

Thanks guys for a killer season, loving the competitive nature of the high divisions, and am looking forward to Season 8!
Well done to @Bryan_F on the chmpionship win!!!!! and well done to @Hatfield for this race

Been a splendid season (Well, the racing, the car was far from my favourite)
Thanks all!!!

Congratulations for the win @Hatfield. But count yourself lucky that we did the restart, because that incident you had with @Whiteracer52 would have made it much tougher for you.

Well my first season is done and dusted Congratulations @Bryan_F on the championship maybe when im here for a full season ill give you a run . Absolutely awesome racing and great battles with many of you. Im really looking forward to season 8
cheers guys

Hi all, well done on a fantastic season.

I don't like spamming threads, but my State of Origin series is coming up soon on Sunday nights and needs numbers desperately.

If you would like to join, express your interest and tell me what state of origin you are, or what of the current teams you would like to represent. http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/upcoming-series-state-of-origin-series-5.1799/

Cheers, Jono.

Well well well...
THAT Was one very interesting race.
I qualified 3rd, which was key for me, I wanted to qualify no lower than 4th, so instantly ticked off a box there. In the first corner, there was plenty of nudges and hits, however, it seemed as though everyone got through, I held onto 3rd, but was braking weirdly. I wasn't braking how i did in practice which i realised about 15 laps in, so my tyres were almost ice cold. My pace was off, but once I realised what I was doing, I kicked back into gear and was flying along. I pitted early for my first said of hards alongside @Noremac, we basically followed identical strategies which was key for our RZR 2-3 (Could've been a 1-2 if I hadn't have kept battling with him and actually used eachother to our advantage, but in my defence, freaking hell it was fun racing him)
After the final pitstop, I got the soft tyres on and put my foot down, one by one i started picking off a few drivers climbing from 8th to 6th, then i started finding more and more pace and caught up to Cam again. Once I caught him, he must've kicked himself into gear as we were identical pace wise.
A few laps to the flag and Cam and I were side by side into T1, I'm not sure if lag was involved but i stuck wide, gave heaps of room and he hit the wall, however, on the replay, it looks like he was hit, but by nothing. It was an odd incident. Anyways, I drove on and ended up being in 3rd after overtaking @Bryan_F. I was closing on @Hatfield but I knew only @BMWF30328 would have the chance to get him.
After the second Lesmo I saw BMW off the circuit, I stuck to the outside expecting him to stay put and wait to rejoin, but he slammed reverse and I had to weave and put a wheel on the grass to avoid him, quite scary stuff there...

Anywho, I got a 2nd place which I am stoked with and worked hard for, and am now happy with my season. I had a quite ordinary season, so to call this a season i'm happy with, I wanted a podium.

Well done to everyone once again for an excellent season! After this season, I don't think i've ever been more happy to be a ROOZ racer, and am very excited for Season 8!!!!!!!

What an eventful and dramatic end to the season! Worthy of a TV broadcast, I reckon.

Having already wrapped up the championship, I was under no pressure, but I still wanted to end on a high, especially for the team.

Qualifying did not go particularly well, as I did not take advantage of my teammate's tow, and missed my target time by a couple of tenths, resulting in 6th.

The early part of the race was even worse, as I understeered into the sand at the exit of the second chicane, dropping me down to 9th. I was still confident of making up some places with consistent pace and good strategy. When I pitted on Lap 12 (later than most), I put on softs, and I knew that this stint would be crucial for end of the race. Fortunately, I didn't lose too much time passing others on the alternate strategy, and by the time I stopped for the second time for hards on Lap 31, I managed to "overcut" @stucar17 and @Mario for 2nd place. I knew at this point that if I wanted to stay in this position to the end, I needed to put in qualifying-style laps to the end and defend like crazy.

Alas, it wasn't to be. First, I wanted to let @BMWF30328 through as quickly as possible, as I knew he had a chance to take the win. But then @Randm90 also got through, and as I started the final lap, @Noremac and @Whiteracer52 were breathing down my neck. Side by side at Curva Grande, I eventually lost out at the chicane. Passing my stricken teammate on the final lap was also somewhat depressing as I knew he was so close to a maiden victory.

So, a bittersweet end to the season. But I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this season, I have never seen racing this close. I think what got me over the line this season was consistent performances combined with good tire preservation and intelligent pit strategy. Oh, and a decent internet connection. It has been a real pleasure racing all of you, and I hope to see you on track in future, GT6 or otherwise.
