Something weird tonight as I never ever get DC'd and that was the third tonight, this time during race 2 while running 4th. That really sucks, sorry partner:(

It's alright.. nothing you can do about it.. Seems like it's like this every year around this time...
If there's thunder storms going on that will cause problems.. Losing the top 5 finish is the part that stinks..
On to next week at a fun track..👍
 
Car trouble on lap 1, went to the garage for repairs. The mechanic/driver determined a CSP brake failure; brakes constantly coming on even when idling. I checked the wiring, still having same issue, now brakes will not come on when activated. Did anyone else ever have a similar issue with their CSP's? I was pissed because I actually practiced and had a pit strategy. Wife saw my disappointment and helped with repairs, to be specific she help find those little %$#$^ screws in the carpet, her small hands helped in the rebuild.
 
No penalties warranted towards Parcells yet, you guys are too kind.

Part of me wants to say you're welcome for making everyone's races more exciting last night but that would be a prick move so I offer my sincere apology to the field for sucking so bad. It wasn't very pretty at times is an understatement so sorry.

Did I mention I have a new wheel (Fanatec V2 base, XOne universal hub, GT3 Rim)? Because I can I'm going to blame some of last night's stellar moves to the new wheel that I only started testing 2.5 hours before the race. Crashes aside, the wheel felt great, very powerful Parcells had a blast.

I think I had a more difficult time adjusting to small mistakes or taps then normal but it definitely wasn't the wheel that decided I could make it back on track cleanly when I stupidly went wide in turn 1, lap 2/3 of race 2...I honestly thought I was coming back on track semi-cleanly and then BOOM, half the field was gone, that was really exciting.

I'm placing myself on probation for the balance of S12.
 
I think the lesson learned from this for all of us is that the penalties are off and you wont ghost if you enter the track as others are coming up. Also, if you are entering the scene of a crash, you need to use caution or you can get caught up in it. Im sure it wont be the last one we come across but it will be better in the long run as we get used to it.

Confirm for next race, the room was laggy in the last race and i got disconnected 3 times, usually have a solid connection so the game was having major problems.

Ditto here, in R2, when you were behind me a fair distance, your car suddenly jumped right up to me and then was flying all over the place. Then when I was coming up to Cape, his car flew off to the left. I never have issues so something was definitely wonky.
It's a real bummer when you put the time in to practice and strategize with your teammate, just to get thrown out of the room, arrrrg.

Ran a solo practice after your official practice. Hopefully my times are close with no one to compare to. I can't be disappointing my team owner.
