    Another race i leave with what could have been.....Qually was extremely tough as Anon laid the pole lap down very early and in my usual fashion, pipped pole on my final lap by 0.022, honestly felt really bad, got to stop doing that.

    The first stint of the race was an amazing wrestle for the lead between Anon and I with the gap within 1sec all the way to the first pitstop. As Anon pitted on lap 13, i gambled it all to make that extra lap. Fortunately made it on fuel, unfortunately staring at the fuel gauge while going through the bus stop resulted in a crash. Pushed as hard as I could to reduce the 11sec deficit out of the pits to crash again at turn 1 near the finish. Battled with rotor at the end and escaped luckily with 3rd over the line.

    A massive congratulations to Anon, amazing pace and the most consistent, a well deserved and fitting win as I am sure Bruce was watching as you crossed the line, couldn't have asked for a better winner :) Warrior always consistent, well done :)
    Great effort to Rotor as well, I really don't know what happened between us on the 2nd last lap but i don't think that will be the last time we will be battling so congrats on a solid 1st race here at ROOZ :)

    A bit late but still congrats Anon on a well deserved win and for taking the pole position as well.

    I came in to this race without driving the car for the last 2 weeks and as i was so dialed in the GTR, it just felt so foreign. I managed only a couple of practice laps before quali so I knew I was a bit off the pace. My speed kept improving during the session and I eventually put it in 3rd place.

    The race started well and I had a great little battle with Rotor for the first couple of laps, but that did cost us some time as we fell back 5 seconds off the lead. After I broke away from rotor I was able to hold pace with the Anon and Mint and the gap remained around 5 seconds. Fuel was so marginal and I was not saving an during the 1st stint, thus I wasn't going to make a 14th lap.

    In the 2nd stint I needed to save some fuel and try to catch Anon. A delicate balance, but It was working and I was slowly closing the gap, but It just wasn't enough in the end, finishing 0.6 behind at the end and having only fumes in the tank.

    Due to school assignments being forced onto me left right and centre, a lack of practice was always going to harm me on this rather odd circuit. I didn't mind it so much in the TVR but I never got to race that night.

    Immediately I discovered I was miles off the pace, my qualifying time was over 4 seconds down.

    My only highlight of the race was at the start, getting ahead of fastboy and Cyber, but after getting lapped very quickly and being over 3.5 seconds a lap slower than the field, I thought it would be more fun to retire and see if warrior could catch Anon and win. Surely Anon is the favourite to take the title now, you're driving superbly.

    I'm not a fan of having to conserve tyres and fuel, mainly because l'm rubbish at it, and since I'm not going to be able to get any practice in for the remaining 2 rounds due to assignments, sadly it seems Motegi and Monza will be my peak. I didn't do a very good job of honouring Bruce by giving up, something
    I'm not particularly proud of, I know Bruce would have gotten out and pushed the car over the line if the game gave him the option to! That being said, I will stick with the black and white livery for the remainder of the season, and hopefully put in two drives worthy of his honour.

    Cheers, Jono

    ok guys,

    I have 2 new guys who have thrown in some pretty good Qual times and based on that are suitable for a place on the Div 1 grid for the final 2 rounds. Also the fact that the grid has been smaller than expected, and div 2 should be near full tomorrow night has made the call a little easier.

    Who is the host for tomorrow night ? Will Mustafur be there, or has Cyber been hosting ?

    If you can add Mister_bond_747 and whiteracer52 to your friend lists that will be good. (i havent heard from whiteracer for a few days after messaging him so not sure what will happen there)

    CHeers

    Thanks cyber, musta told me last night he won't be racing tonight.

    Mr bond should be right to go, mint has done a little racing with him and said is a good thing !!

    White racer has contacted me and won't be racing tonight (shift work) and we will confirm division next week. Is closer to div 2 / 3 pace.

    Cheers stu

    Cyber, can you also add Baz_1414. He has been on the last few nights and is keen to have a run. I've asked him to get on here and sign up etc, but... More numbers the better.

    Hey guys, unfortunately I've decided to pull out of tonight's race. I've got far too much schoolwork to do, and plus, the now atrocious handling of the car, on top of the high tyre wear has really sapped my motivation. But don't worry, I'll be back for Spa.

    Gee, I didn't think that trying to put my education before online racing for just this one night would be a bad thing but I guess not.
