Race Recap

Congratulations MLPSilverWing for a brilliant race and win! micantony and MLPSilverWing swapped the lead several times for most of the race and were running neck and neck until lap 171 when micantony spun. micantony was not able to close the gap with MLPSilverWing and finished 2nd. Great race micantony! lightningdf22b1 and G_Parrilla were running neck and neck as well until lap 200 when G_Parrilla spun and all but handed 3rd Place to lightningdf22b1. There was only one problem, lightningdf22b1 ran out of gas just before the finish line and G_Parrilla clipped him by inches to take 3rd Place. lightningdf22b1 finished in 4th Place. Nice racing guys! gr8racrs and DolphDrago teamed up late in race which helped gr8racrs run down nascarfan1400. Once gr8racrs caught him it was a fierce battle to the finish. Somehow, as nascarfan1400 slipped all over the track he still managed to fend off gr8racrs challenge on the final laps to hold on to 5th Place. gr8racrs finished right behind him in 6th Place. Nice racing! There was a 4 way battle for 7th Place between ScorpionPHVH57, DolphDrago, euclid58, and Psycho-Tuber latter in the race with ScorpionPHVH57 prevailing to take the spot. DolphDrago and Psycho-Tuber had great finish. Pyscho-Tuber had 8th Place wrapped up until he ran out gas on lap 200. DolphDrago closed in for the pass but time expired seconds before he could make it. DolphDrago finished in 9th Place. And euclid58 finished out the finishers for 10th Place. Whew, that was one exciting race, can't wait until next year!

In case someone was wondering about the number of pit stops everyone took. This was taken after the leader had finished to ensure the most accurate number for everyone.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I remember, on one of the last laps, @nascarfan1400 had to dodge the slowed @Silver Wing and just barely made it. That was super close

Yeah it was interesting trying to get around the slowed cars that had already finished while battling for position. I was on Psycho's tail on our last lap when he suddenly swerved down coming onto the backstretch. I couldn't see in front of him and had absolutely no idea he had done so to avoid another car. Unfortunately, I had no time to react and plowed into the back of micantony's car that was Turtling around the track. And to think, with him running out of gas, I would have passed Psycho before time ran out if not for that incident...


Edit: And nice writeup and results, Psycho. 👍

 

[Ph1sh]

Awesome Job on the results @Psycho Turtle

 

[G_Parrilla]

Finished editing the pics, just wait until tomorrow guys!

 

[Dolph Drago]

Finished editing the pics, just wait until tomorrow guys!

I plan to see the #43 car in the wall, grass, infield pavement off turn 2, and/or in the air in many pictures. That would pretty well sum up my night.

 

[GTRacer22]

Great write up Psycho!!! Can wait to see your pics G!

I believe pictures will show me on the back of @nascarfan1400 for the whole race

 

[Silver Wing]

I've got just about everything. 33 pictures with a mix of things.

 

[GTRacer22]

Anything of my sick drift in turn 3?

 

[Silver Wing]

What lap? If it's Fast and Furious drifting, I probably got it.

 

[Dolph Drago]

How about my wheelie on lap 44 when I hit the grass trying to get back on track on the backstretch?

 

[Silver Wing]

More than likely. If I don't, I'll make sure to have it before I post the pictures tomorrow.

Kudos to Mic, Lightning, G_Parilla, Nascarfan, and Psycho for doing it on hards.. Medium was all I could hang on to, and by mid race I was feeling fatigued from just trying to hang on to the car.. Switched to soft for a while and then changed back..
I was just hell bent on running smooth regardless of where it got me.. I got held in the pits for penalty two or three times.
If I didn't swap to softs in the middle, pretty sure I could have made it 7 stops..

 

[Ph1sh]

@nascarfan1400 were you dirt track racing Daytona with a Nascar?

 

[Psycho Turtle]

-Wrong Thread-

No worries.

What did you get held for?

 

[Ph1sh]

Look what track is back in Gran Turismo 👍

Last time Mid Field Raceway was in Gran Turismo was in GT4, I had happened to found a video from back then! Looks like this is going to be a very beautiful track to race around! 👍


​

 

[Silver Wing]

Looks like my favorite track is coming back! I already have a classic car/track combo that I think you all know...

Also, I've got pictures done. ^^

Sorry that I couldn't get everything from everyone. Usually I watch everyone individually each time around each race, but watching two and a half hours for each driver is overboard.

Anyways, here you go. Enjoy.

EDIT:

What are you doing, @GT_Racer22!? You just really bottomed-out the car!

 

[Ph1sh]

Awesome job on the Picture @Silver Wing Their are some pretty funny pictures you took their! Didn't realize Jimmy Johnson could fly

 

[Silver Wing]

I didn't realize Aric Almirola could fly through grass.

 

[Ph1sh]

I didn't realize Aric Almirola could fly through grass.

I guess most Nascar drivers can fly..

 

[Silver Wing]

It was fun taking some shots of everyone. I'm probably on a bi-weekly schedule, so more than likely I'll be in every other race.

Yup. I have a couple cars we can use for Midfield.

 

[Psycho Turtle]

Great job on the pictures Silver Wing! 👍

 

[Silver Wing]

Thanks!

 

[euclid58]

No worries.


What did you get held for?

Probably for not coming in straight, or too fast, or both..
Actually, I think I need a pit stop coach right now.. I've been getting them wrong everywhere.

So they're bringing back Midfield ?.. Really..?.. That's a great track..

 

[GTRacer22]

@Silver Wing im not sure what lap, but it was that one time when nascarfan asked 'gr8racrs, did you just go around?' And I saved it. Probably somewhere around lap 100, when I was behind Euclid on track in 7th place I think

Let me take some time to find it and I'll add it to the other pictures.

If you find me the lap, I'll happily take some pictures too 👍

 

[Silver Wing]

I'll look around Lap 100 first. If I have to, I'll watch the entire race from your POV.

Okay

I wen too low in turn 3, it started to go around, ABS 0 allowed me to lock it up and bring the front back around on the apron and I slid pack to the banking and kept going. I'm sure you saw the skid marks on the track
