Great racing tonight, guys! I had a blast!
It was great racing! Nice to have you back racing
This new format is great!I'm glad we went with your idea for the points.
It was nice to have you on the grid:tup: Hope you can join more often. After the 2nd caution, we had some tight, close racing. You and I always have some good battles when we race together! Thanks!

Great format, great car. I'm not home many weekends until September but will race when I am. Luckily it was my turn to come home and sleep. Probably should have gone to bed earlier. 
Yes tcrash, awesome battle all the way from last caution. Some of the most exciting racing I've had in a very long time.

What happened with the review of the restart? I'm going to have a quick look today.
Edit. I think I got a bit excited at restart.

You are correct. The problem is, at no fault of anyone, is that we get antsy and instead of waiting for the restart line for each of us to accelerate, we hit the gas when we see the guy in front of us take off. Some wait and some don't. So to be fair, we should all start together. When you see the leader go, you go. The only drawback that I can see is that some might not go and BAM! You rear end someone. Let's try it and see how it goes. Let's just remind each other of this before the restarts like we do when the caution lap is coming.

Very correct Ken. When I was leading the caution, I waited until I got to the line to take it off autopilot. There was a slight delay between hitting the back button to let me take over and it actually giving me control of my car.
Also, I'll be getting points updated once I get home. See you all tonight!

So, we must keep the car on auto pilot until we reach the line?

I don't think we need to, that's just what I did, plus it was my first time leading the field under caution. I clearly was under a huge amount of pressure. Everyone should use the autopilot, but towards the restart point I wasn't really sure when to take it off. That's why I waited until I hit the line to go. I probably should have taken it off a little sooner that way I could have been on the gas as soon as I hit the line. I just had a bad restart, and you were able to take advantage. I don't think there's a need for any penalty since the front of your car wasn't past the front of mine before I crossed the line.

Why's everyone trying to limit me to 18 points?
If you really would like to have 18 points, I'm sure I could watch the replays and find something to dock you enough points so that you'll always have a grand total of 18 points regardless of where you finish!
Moving forward, the points have been updated and should be correct. See you all at Suzuka tonight!

Isn't that what happened last week?
To protest these unexplained penalties, I will not be racing tonight!
Just kidding of course. As I mentioned after last week's race, I'm currently out of town and won't be able to make tonight's race. Have fun without me! I'll see you guys back on the track next week for the season finale! 👍

If there's room I think I'll jump in here tonight. Color change however to Blue/Copper. Heading in to D2 to get used to new G27 settings and see how bad I am now.
Anyone set practice times on Suzuka yet?
And what should the HP/PP be on this car?

Glad to have you back! I've added you into the list as well. As for lap times I don't really practice. I just show up and race, and it looks like zappa's got the HP/PP covered already.
Awesome, see you in a few hours!
