GT5 The German on the Mount

Is this tonight????!!!

Duh!....i have no idea why i thought this was tonight! - sorry about that

I'll be in this, might go for a pink paint scheme just to stand out hahaha

Thanks for the car Emmo, will apply final touches and be ready for next week's race.

Hey emmo you up for some laps in the AMG to night ??

Just managed to get out of bed today, spent all day yesterday with high fever, body ache and multiple trips to the toilet . Hope to be good to go tomorrow but probably without any practice

Pretty gutted to have thrown away my 100% event victory at this track in such dreadful circumstances.

The first race went pretty well, after taking pole by over a second I led every lap and was able to manage the gap to Sergio and tyres pretty easily, although it was fun to throw the car around. I do think I could have won by a lot more that 2 seconds if I'm brutally honest.

The 2nd race was going well, as I made my way through the field. In hindsight, I wouldn't have gotten bored of not fighting and should have focused on increasing the gap to Jamie. But of course, I backed off slightly and then lost my concentration twice in half a lap, relinquishing my lead. Side be side with Jamie, I made slight contact with his rear end, although we shared the racing line. And of course, with our luck with lag, it was enough to tip him into an irrecoverable spin.
Naturally, I waited for him, but he recovered very slowly, then just spun the car around himself while I was waiting. That cost me a lot of time. i could've caught up, but my tyres were wrecked, and the gap was a steady 7 seconds, even though I was driving very fast. The rears fell away at the end, making the car very slidey. To make matters worse, emmo threw away victory and Serge had got ahead of Joe, meaning a lost the overall lead.

Anon joined in race 3, and I was sure that it would be a battle between him and I for victory. He started from pole, and avoided the shenanigans to take an easy victory. I broke late into the hairpin in order to avoid the divers. Even so, I could have been right behind Anon, but I was T boned by Bruce, where one of us should have ghosted. It was ridiculous to have lost so much time recovering from someone else's error, but that's motor racing. I'm sure Jamie felt the same way in race 2.
Despite losing huge amounts of ground, and victory was now impossible, I caught the pack quickly. I ran wide trying to get a better line on Sergio into the final chicane, a very silly error. Even still, catching them was easy. I got a good run after Joe and Jamie had fell behind. A better exit of turn 2 let me dive up the inside, then the outside. Really brilliant racing. I controlled the slide perfectly at the bumps, Sergio would have got a good view of that! My focus was to leave my overtake on emmo to the last minute, as I didn't want Sergio to overtake him as well. But I make a stupid error and tap the wall before the final tunnel, which I could control before I was T boned by a forceful Sergio. My initial reaction was rage but it was completely my fault. He had nowhere to go. I could have still caught them,
as I was still lapping half a second quicker than Anon, who was now miles ahead. But no, I launch the
car into the jump on the first chicane and destroy the car. Wonderful.

Well done Serge on sabotaging my perfect record on my favourite track, just be careful I don't sabotage anything of yours in the Citroën! Thanks emmo for the cool
concept.

Cheers, Jono

I had my own issues on the third race mate, Emmo turned into me in the first turn and made a ghost, which met him and you overtake through me.
Also, had an incident with Emmo on the same turn going side by side where I slowed down and let him through. My incident with you was unavoidable, I was on your tail and you went sideways, tried to avoid you but the front of your car went towards the mountain closing my only possible escape route.
But you're right mate, you were the fastest out there tonight

PS: don't worry about ruining my chances next season, the top 3 will easily do that
