I don't know what to say about tonight's race. I had my hands firmly wrapped around this races throat. Which I didn't expect. A lot of you guys were clearly faster than me. I think I was the last one to make a pit stop around lap 41. I came out in 3rd with Jammy and Bowtie ahead of me. But I knew I was really in 1st. I was pretty sure Jammy had pitted too soon and Bowtie was on hard tires. My tires seemed to be wearing fine. Quickly but evenly. On the replay I noticed it took 7 laps for my right rear to go from a 8 to a 4. With a full straight lead and 10 laps to go I just started to lay down the smoothest laps possible. Letting off the throttle early, rolling back into it. Every lap felt like an eternity. That right rear was done though. Eventually spinning on the last corner of the last lap of a race that I didn't think I had a chance in, that I thought I had won by a mile. So mind shatteringly brutal. Bowtie held on to win after getting dealt what looked like the losing hand and Jammy was behind on 2 pit stops. I was lucky to still get on the podium.

I did couple of full race test and decided that I'll go 2 pit stop. In race there was some incidents that slowed me down a bit but I was really hopefull that guys a head of me get some kind of trouble with the tires and that happens.
Race was really exciting race in my point of view - if I'll get you guys or not after my 2nd pitstop
Well done everyone. Good we started whole race again after that room crash.

Bowtie52's car failed post race inspection has been fined 5 championship points and has to give his locked in spot in the All Star Race up and will have to run in the open qual race. The win stands. Car was running unapproved racing hard tires.

I'm not a fan of this ruling. But I guess the win stand so that's cool.

I agree. Stand up move. But yeah, it was out of Bowtie's control.
I third this, stand up move, even though I disagree with it.
On another note, anyone run any laps on indy road? Ill be traveling the week after the after the all star and need to start testing soon

Even though pd has had some problems with their game and they continue to make no effort in fixing the problem instead they add cars like the redbull car that have no meaning to fixing gameplay we all have to deal with what is given to us and i think several of us agree is frustrating, but on the otherhand the way bowtie has ran this series and dealt with all the problems that pd has given us he is by far one of if not the best host I've ever had in a series and Dodge Boys Fabrication is proud to sponsor this series. The penalty he has given himself shows commitment to making this series and any series he runs fair and fun even with the problems that arise from the new game and the errors we come across.
I believe the only way to combat these problems with the tire rule is what someone said last night is no tire wear or to bring the cautions into the series and make it where the last 10 to 15 laps of the race make no cautions in effect that way you have an idea of what tires you have to the end.
Or maybe pd did the tire wear this way because in NASCAR you never know what tires you are given til you hit the track because my third set of tires was awesome and fast. So i really dont know how to fix the problems that arise with this game, but i do thank bowtie for trying his best to make the series right even if some people dont agree he is doing an awesome job in my mind.
Be ready working on a good surprise for all star race.

If mandatory pit without tire change is implemented I think 10-15 lap window should be given. This would discourage early or late pits and make racing more realistic.
