Good race, everyone. 
I had a particularly good battle with Pekka for the first half of the race. However, I opted for a 1-stop strategy (as did everyone else) while Pekka tried staying out for the entire duration. It didn't work, and I got past with a few laps to go. Tough luck, Pekka.
It seems that I struggled for pace more in this race, that's likely because I did poorly in the TT.
And of course, congratulations to Jon for the win. 👍
I personally tried to shift up at 6500 rpm. The engine delivers peak power at 6100 rpm, and revving too far beyond that causes the engine to lose power.

I felt it was fastest a hair over 6500; peak power was at 6100 with falloff (edit: Tree'd, apparently).
Enjoyed that race a lot; only hit the pitwall once
Had only a few minutes to slap on Pekka's tune, run a few laps, then quali, also while getting breakfast for mini-me. Thanks for being patient guys, it was a great help.
Once in the race, made sure I closed down the inside line for turn one (knowing that Speedy is nefarious!), had a near-tank-slapper pitwall touch in lap 3, then tried to build some focus. Settled in to manage tires behind Matthew and Pekka duking it out, as there was no realistic way I could pass both of them without an advantage. Squeaked past Matthew just before pitting next lap (lap 22, I think), was ahead when he came out a lap later, and waited for the no-stop madman's tires to go off
Enjoy the NA race, guys! Hope I'll be able to watch.

gooo Max
As mentioned before , the power peak is at 6100 rpm .
When the gears were set very close it was important to short shift (before redline) to get the most out of the powerband.
EU race report put short: No stop , battle with matthew 👍 , few mandatory lead laps and overtaken by a few one stoppers.

That was a great combo! 👍 to Sjaak for coming up with that one
I had a great race with Joe for about 4 laps (then never saw him again) but picked up with Al and that race lasted almost 30 laps with only a few laps running solo due to my time loss just before the pitstop when I let Jon and Mohit go by (rather than block them for a whole lap I pulled wide in turn 1 to give them room as both were exiting the pit but I went off
- quite a bit too )
Congrats to Mohit, Jon and Pekka
Nice job catching back up Pekka 👍 That pit spin / entry almost got you

I hope all the racers enjoyed the race as much as I did.
Congrats to Jon with a great win,you where flying
,Mohit and Ren with the podiums.
Respect for Pekka and the no-stopper.
My part was little ,lost lots of time in the first 10 laps.
After the first pit Speedy showed up in front of me and had a few good laps together...... till I hit a bit of grass and lost it in grace,result>>>a big white cloud of burned rubber.
Here is a pic of the first corner after the start,I believe everybody survived it...I race with you guys anytime 👍

I had a great time with this combo, Battles with Mike in the E/U race and Marc in the N/A race. It is awesome to finally be in some traffic, I only hope I can keep improving! I have not had a chance to capture any photos due to the busy holiday season, I hope the Admins will not archive this thread until I have had a chance to do so! Hint, hint!!!
