    This event, organised by stuart170773, was held in two seperate rooms, but unfortunately a report is unavailable for the 2nd room.
    Here are the results for Room 2:

    ROOM 1

    [​IMG]GRID: Warrior2167, X-3vi1m00n, TTR_joe90, bjh1012, stuart170773, Clevohead, Mustafur, Midron18, Ad2mny and emmo46.

    What an action packed event this turned out to be, with two rooms running simultaneously and up to 10 drivers on track at once. To talk about all the moves made in these 120 lap races would be a feat in itself, but I'll try to give you all a general idea what happened.

    The drivers got away fairly cleanly from the line, with only emmo46 struggling having selected the wrong tyres, and suffering for the entire race. bjh1012 had early lag issues, and on Lap 2, a strange incident between Turn 2 and 3 had him first lightly into the outside wall, then madly fishtailing down the banking to the infield barriers. He ricocheted back into oncoming traffic, but caused little damage to those he collected. He continued on for 13 Laps but retired with connection issues, stating that he did not want to ruin anyone's race with his occasional lagging.

    Towards the end of Lap 10, Mustafur had a large spin exiting Turn 3. His teammate Midron18 on a very high line made contact with the outside wall and bounced into Mustafur's path. They both ghosted but Mustafur had already made an evasive maneuver, swerving towards the infield and causing a powerslide. He fell back with emmo46 and bjh1012 but soon rejoined the pack with the boost settings.

    With a few differing pit strategies and boost, the leader changed many times, with almost everyone leading at least once, except for poor emmo46, still wondering why he couldn't keep up.

    Amazingly with 2 Laps to go, it was a 7 car battle. Warrior2167 started to pull away with plenty of tyre left and the lowest fuel load beside X-3vi1m00n, who had miscalculated his final stop and ran out on the final lap. TTR_joe90 was really struggling with badly worn out tyres and finished in last.

    Mustafur drafted and passed Warrior2167 into Turn 1 on the Final Lap, with Clevohead right in both their drafts. Midron18 ran in hot in 4th, collecting the outside wall. He bounced off into stuart170773's path who was in his toe and had to slow to avoid a spin, allowing the leading 3 to pull away. Ad2mny came roaring up behind but on very worn tyres could not turn tight enough to get past stuart170773 and Midron18 and had to settle for 6th.

    Warrior2167 was again in the lead on the back straight, with Mustafur and Clevohead waiting strategically in his slipstream for the final run to the line. Clevohead cut down tight and moved into 2nd, and then it was a side by side drag race to the finish, with Warrior2167 claiming victory by just 0.005 seconds over Clevohead, and Mustafur right behind in 3rd rounding out the podium.

    That finish line picture says it all, so close!!!
    Well done Warrior, Clevo and Musta, looks like you had loads of fun.

    Great report Ad, not too bummed for the other lobby's report but it would have ended like so for me:

    "S_CLOSE in his own true style runs out of fuel in the final lap finishing last, what a surprise... Not! Lol
