Also, I would like to add, the first time you passed me at turn 1 (lap ?) was a really great, technical pass, there was barely enough room but I left just enough in case. I knew you were faster than me so I was considering letting you passed anyway as I didn't think I would be racing you in the end, but I guess I was wrong.
Good racing GT4!
Well I only got a good draft from you because you were slow through the chicane, pity it was over so quickly it is good battling someone like you, who's consistent and doesnt just crash. I know if I was in your situation I would have thrown if off the road long before that.

Oh dear, don't tell me he doesn't take that chicane flat? It's not exactly Ascari. But I think before everyone jumps on PepsiO it should be noted that he gave GT4genius plenty of room the first time he lapped him. He obviously needs to get his act together to stop causing so many accidents but we should be careful not to butcher him too much for making mistakes, it's only a bit of fun at the end of the day.

Just thought I better say I apologies to PepsiO for anything I might have said in that piece earlier that may have sounded unjust. Its not that I dont want him here, quite the opposite, I'd love to see him improve and become more involved with the rest of the group so as he can enjoy the races as much as the rest of us. If that doesnt sound elitest??
Edit: Now it might be a bit late, so I might be thinking too far outside the box, but its worth a try anyway. Heres what I've noticed. Team Aguri seem to be pulling away at the top of the leader board quite easily with both Sureshot and Gyles scoring a lot of points each race. And then Team Jordan seem to be breaking away from Jaguar but then also loosing to Aguri, so I dont see the point in having one team at the top one in the middle and then a three way battle for last. So heres my suggestion, a 3 member team for Jordan. If I could join them and add my points to that team it would bring them closer to Aguri, which would encourage a greater contest for the lead of the constructors title. Also I suggest this because I will hardly make many races after next week, so the total of our 3 points should only be enough to make the difference to keep up with Aguri, it would still be up to Appie and Shaggy to beat Aguri.
What do you guys all think, is it a good idea or not, feel free to criticise.

I think it's a cool idea, I wanted us as team mates from the start anyway, but if we do beat Aguri it'll be a hollow victory owing to basicly having extra points. I'm still in favour of it, but I'll leave it to the rest and Ardius to decide.

Ok, another crazy glitchy race from Nurburg. I believe I came in 4th, as I believe only Chiboss, Fastduck, and RACECAR were in front of me. I qualified 3rd, but started the race, listed as 10th 
. In any case, I was racing close to Chiboss, Fastduck, and RACECAR, at various points during the race, and I know I wasn't a lap down. I hope we can all agree on a finishing order, and I hope people agree with my assessment 
. I realize we may not have all seen the same thing though, due to the glitch though. *Fingers Crossed* 
P.S. : I didn't bother taking a picture of the finishing order, for obvious reasons.

Man, why did the race start without me? I don't understand this at all. Chris told me you guys were starting and by the time I get there, its already going. Lofasz, i wasn't sure if you knew you were a lap down but you gave me some grief. And who turned me around? I'm trying to avoid everyone and around I go

OK We are all I hope honest people here. We all make mistakes just please if your the one that wrecked me on T1 say so. I went off into T1 with a pretty good head of steam and actually late braked, BAM into kitty litter and no one stopped. Had to start WELL behind of everyone else. Since all made it outta T1 OK.
A reminder IF YOU HIT SOME ONE STOP and let them take the position back.
We will wait no more than 5 min for late joiners. at 5 after race starts.

Interesting race,again.
For me it was pretty un-eventful ,with the exception of sideswiping my teamate and shoving him into the kitty litter ( sorry Dubbers ), by my screen , DaddyVDubb , slid off the final turn before the front straightaway opening the door for me to pass , guess it wasn't so when I heard the thump of two cars getting together
. I had a solid 5th place sewed up , came around the final turn on the 2nd to final lap to see Mofongo273 parked in the straightaway , was able to get by him and secure a 4th place finish ( feel bad for you Mofongo , it was yours ).
Pole position was taken by : chiboss with a time of 1:26.07
Fast lap was set by : chiboss 1:25.709
Position finish by my screen :
1st place - chiboss
2nd place - zeroduck1
3rd place - RACECAR
4th place - GTP_JWLennon
5th place - Mofongo273
6th place - GTP_DaddyVDubb
7th place - GTP_CAMikaze
8th place - sumpington
9th place - GTP_Lofasz
10th place - doctorben ( had connection issues I assume and left game )
CONGRATULATIONS CHIBOSS - A TRIFECTA ( POLE , FAST LAP , VICTORY )

This is from page 1 of this thread in the rules as posted by Ardius : RACE DIRECTOR
Before each race there will be a 5 minute waiting period allowing for any late-comers to join in time for qualifying. We will not start the race earlier even if all drivers have joined.
5 MINUTES , SORRY TIME WAS UP

Well the race went just about how i thought it would i didnt qualify because i remember the turn 1 crash from my wednesday tournament at the start i waited 2 seconds then took off when i heard cars crashing i started looking for car parts loooool i wanted to watch the crash but i waited too long at the start and didnt get too see anything but cars off track and parts on track almost hit someone's tire after that just tried to not make any mistakes i was going to run an extra lap before pitting but spun coming out of chicain so i pitted then had a pretty normal race other than my 1 spin i didnt have any penalties of crashes so that was good ready to get on to next race at least i gained back 2 points on racecar congratulations to the winner and to lennon good job glad to see you up front

Bit of sad news for me, because im leaving for vacation for 2 weeks. I will be missing Barca and Monaco(again!!). Hope u have a good race and grats to fishfash for his win.

I believe GTP_Lofasz was 4th. He was close most of the race. Good racin with you tonight.
Sorry DOC for any miss-judgement going into turn 1. I waitied for you and lost track of you. COL-On is not great for this game becasue of lag and other issues. Will continue racing though becasue after all, it is a fun game.

Had a feeling about this situation
as it has been known to happen before in the past.Not doubting anything did not happen , but as racers finish the race , you see on your screen that " racer x or whoever has gone back to the lobby " . I seen 3 names go back to the lobby before I crossed the finish line, Chiboss , Zeroduck1 , RACECAR. If you agree that Lofasz did finish fourth , then so be it , I can accept it , I'm not going to speak for the other racers involved , it's up to them or Ardius to decide who finished where. I do agree though that this does happen.

I know it said I was a lap down, but that was indeed the glitch. I know you were breathing down my neck for a while, and I know you were gaining on me. I saw you were gonna pass me on the inside, at the final chicane, so I moved over to the right, and broke a little early. I though that would give you plenty of room, but then I saw you spin out in front of me. Sorry, didn't mean to give you any grief, but I was in 3rd at the time. I ended up making a mistake of my own later on, and you were able to pass me during our final pit stops. You were faster than me there man, nice racing.
👍I still say I came in 4th.

My screen read Lofasz in a 9th finish, a lap down also ,like what RACECAR saw.
Chiboss says Lofasz was in fourth , and so does Lofasz.
Lets see what Ardius says about this , what a mess this is. For whatever it is , I sincerly hope that the outcome is fair for all involved.
Perhaps some of the other racers involved can attest to what happened ( as far as where Lofasz finished ) to help clear this up ( hoping ) , the more input, the better

I have no doubt Lofasz finished where he said he did. I dont believe for a second that Lofasz was REALLY a lap down.

Yeah I was 9th. 
I didn't update my PS3 when I was practicing this week and went to update over an hour before the race and I switched to it 30 minutes before and it had only progressed to 20% (WTF?) So being a PS3 newbie I found out you can update via thumb drive, so I did that and made it in 30 second left in Quali. Everyone seemed to start very slow and I stayed back. I saw (what I think) was Vdub get punted, couldn't tell who it was.
Then I got hit in T2 just enough to require a respawn. Then I was running 1:27.5s and caught up to Camikaze, passed him and appeared to be catching Vdub and someone else. Was on a flyer and might of touched the 1:26s on my last lap before refueling, caught too much kerb on the final chicane and had a horrific collision with the wall. I think Vdub crashed at the same time as well.
Looking forward to Spain. 👍

For complete-ness, heres the official PAL finishing order (so I can link the results easily on the first post)
1st Gyles 11points
2nd Shaggy Alonso 8points
3rd Kakundoo 6points
4th GT4Genius 5points
5th Sureshot 4points
6th Appie 3points
7th LewyOs 2points
8th PepsiCoke 1point
Fastest Lap: Gyles69 1:24.xxx
This would be unfair overall for Aguri, I realise that its already unfair that the teams were not really fairly picked but it can't really be helped.
There is nothing to stop people switching teams though, especially with the drivers who haven't even turned up to a race yet.
And like Shaggy said, do you really want to beat Aguri through greater numbers? I don't see the point in that, wheres the satisfaction? You didn't beat them through driver skill, just superior numbers.
I don't want to mess with the current teams setup and I don't want to force drivers to and from teams just to "make it closer". Better to battle around 3rd - last place than to just trail Aguri on points, because you can't guarantee you will always make the points to catch and overtake Aguri.
However, I won't stop any behind-the-scenes agreements and moves, with in reason.
I agree that Lofasz was 4th from the sounds of it, judging by his previous placings, I have no doubt that he managed it.
The one name on that list I am curious about is DocBen, could he have possibly quit because of the lapped-glitch or bad lag? Thankfully we don't have to race here again.
I'm sorry to hear it Pepsi, not everyone was attacking you and some did say sorry. We have been over this before that people will over-react during and after the race but don't really mean what they say.
HOWEVER, this is happening all to often and I'm sad to say that I don't like how this is happening every race, repeatedly and with more than one driver. I've tried to defend you pepsi and I've tried to please both sides, but I can't keep doing this every race. Its getting rediculous.
If you are sure about leaving, this is the last time, I don't want to spend most of my time sorting out these unecessary arguments.

My statement was just a matter of fact, no aggression in the post whatsoever. I accept it's racing and everyone makes mistakes, but I see no problem in pointing out to someone when they make a mistake. But I'll never do that in an attacking sense, so apologies Pepsi if the above quote came across like that.
