    DAmn M1k stole the fatest lap, well done. I thought I had a shot at it untill I heard bonuses time. Didnt do my fast lap till lap 14 odd when I had a nice gap till catching me up to the Annon, aussie M1k train that was in front.

    Happy enough im starting to get a bit of pace with the car, I think pretty much anyone from Div 2 can win a round or get a podium if they keep it on the black stuff....were all pretty close.

    If you guys refer to the bus stop as the 1st chicane on the back straight, then yea I took that in 4 th gear but was conservertive a few times.

    Well done lads. Apologies for the odd bump and grind here and there, but I don't think I had more than 2 or 3 laps of that race alone. I seemed to be constantly in traffic. The last few laps were pretty tough in my beast, fronts were going and everyone was closing in...Barra in front and Tek,Miki,Aussie behind. Going through the bus stop on the final lap all hell broke loose, I tried going in slow and aimed to exit hard. All I managed to do was smash straight into Aussie. Not sure if it was my fault as too much was going on in front of me, but I pulled over and gave him the position back anyway.

    If anyone watches the replay (I forgot to save it in my haste to see the end of the F1), but watch my pitstop at the end of lap 10. The boys put my tyres on and then everyone stands up and.....nothing, about 10 seconds of the camera panning around my car??? Will have to get a new pitcrew, those guys are hopeless!!!

    I was wondering what the hell happened at the bus stop! Will have to have a look at it tonight. Some sort of braking reference point for that corner would be handy. Dont know about anyone else, but I must have coasted into the chicane on 15 of the 22 laps because I was on the brakes too early.

    Did you enter the pits too hot? That happened to me once when I sailed into the pits too quick

    RE: the last lap I went into the bus stop behind Aussie with annon and barra behind me
    , Aussie took a tight entry as he had me on his right and went wide onto the grass. His rears started going and I could see his car turning to come back on track, I just made it pass before his car came back on., most likely then anon got tangled up with him. So wasnt your fault annon, racing incident as far I saw.

    Thats how I saw it anyway. Didnt see what happened behind me after I went passed, didnt look back.

    Wow, fastest lap. I'm stunned. After my embarassing spin off the bus stop and shredding tyres doing burnouts to get back on the track, I pitted and said ":):):):) the tyres, i'm going for it". I didn't even notice the lap times. I was a bit scared about the last lap incident that I caught up. I assumed all those involved were trying to redress some incident and I went flying through stealing 6th off Barra after being nearly last for most of the race. Also Anon scared the :):):):) out of me exiting the pits cause I was so focused. How silly. :) My strategy was a no-stopper cause the tyres would should have made it.
    Good fun.
    I see the mid season form kicking in Tek........look out everyone :D

    I saw Anon coming out the pits as I was coming out behind him, I was gutted when I came out the pits and saw all these cars in front of me half of them on older rubber but not old enough to totally slow them down. I knew you and chaos had yet to pit. My stratergist totally let me down, barring the fact I dont have one and I cant spell stratergist :p

    Na the only form I found was not out braking myself, still one off/spin. Got at least one penalty too, it was pretty harsh on the entry to the 2nd part of the bus stop.

    But thats one for team Grey :)


    No drama just add me PSN tekNiqueAU (using those upper n lower cases)

    I host, room is generally open 7-7:10pm Sunday Adelaide time CDT. If you could take out one of the lead drivers that be great :p

    Just for everybody's information upper/lower case doesn't matter when adding friends, in fact you know you got it right when you enter it and it puts the capitals in for you. Wow what a race last night, can't believe I went so well on the controller. Well done to everyone

    Great race that one had pressure all race. Great race stue wasn't much in it all race and Neishy good stuff on the controller, that old wheel been holding you back, lets hope they get your new wheel sorted out soon. Teck you had some speed and i thought you were going to get away at the start, little mistakes on this track can take a big hit on your lap time. great lap time miki i thought this would be the supra scenario where you pip me in the end, but it was neishy coming fast at the end, i made a little mistake leaving the bus stop and clipped a 2 sec penalty, but was still enough to hold out for the win by just 2 seconds. That bus stop hard enough at the best of times, when the pressures on it so much harder to keep it fast through there, i made my only mistakes there and it was the same thing twice on exit.
    Good racing and pacing from all again, been a great season so far and feeling a bit privileged to be at the top with the pace of the majority of the field. I'm sure there will be some fierce contests to the end and anyone can win it this season.
    Greet effort in the fastest laps Div 2, 5 of the top 10 lap times this week wooo hoooo.

    was a good race bonus, thought with about 6 to i was catching you and might get on your tail, but you must have made a small mistake somewhere for the gap to get to 3 secs, then you stretched it out again.....i had nothing left.

    I think the car / tire combo is perfect this series, with the no pit, pit strategy being very close.

    Cote will be interesting, be prepared for follow the leader. I ran some laps last night with a mate and the bad news is that the chicane after the tunnel doesnt appear to have any penalties attached to it if you cut. (not suggesting that anyone would do that intentionally BTW).

    Very hard to pass, qually will be really important.....looking forward to it.

    Thanks for the session last night Aussie and Nieshy, was good, 25 laps round there is certainly going to be interesting, and strategy is going to play a big part in the result i reckon.

    Aussie has the target on his back this round, was VERY quick last night, even on old rubber........just hope he gets distracted during the race when the bub needs a feed and the missus gets the cans out :D :D

    Stu, you need to change your profile. It says you 'podium thief' in season 5. No way mate. You've earned every podium, every point.
    I, on the other hand. Need to convert a bloody front row start (3 from 3) to something better soon. I'm damn lucky to be in 3rd in standings at the moment.

    lol, kind of you to say miki, but realistically i was a little lucky to get third last race...looking at the pace of yourself, tek and aussie, you guys were much faster than me, it was a combination of traffic, and my no stop "driving miss daisy" approach that got me home in the end. (not to mention i took your advice and am keeping it on the black stuff better !!)

    Really enjoying the racing though, the guys have done a great job matching the car / circuit / laps so that different strategies work.

    i reckon monaco is going to be a ripper race
