Oh dammit, fuel. I already struggle with it on the oval track, but I reckon the road course is even worse due to the increased length.

Also, I plead for rolling starts.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Well, we hardly want that. You definitely have the pace to win, and thus you probably will - and you'll deserve it.

We'll have to wait and see what Brando, carracer etc. can do.

Although, draft will make most speed advantages irrelevant.

 

[brandofo]

Sorry guys something came up last minute today and I won't be able to make the race. Good luck to you all and see you next week.

 

[carracerptp]

I'm in the same boat as Brandofo, something just came up.

I don't think I can make the start time.

 

[Yeratel84]

Won't be able to race today...

Brake pedal's spiking again and only going to have time to disassemble the pedals to get them cleaned up tonight or tomorrow maybe...

 

[Phouchg]

A lot of guys not running today I see. I am back today though 👍

 

[DaxCobra]

Sorry guys I can't run today because of some excuse I haven't thought of yet.

 

[DaxCobra]

Room open a bit early.


Mardy, what speed are you doing over the line?

Edit: Just realised I am running 204BHP.

Game on

 

[Dano20]

Coming

 

[DaxCobra]

I think we will have to have a rolling start today.

Grid formation, 60 MPH, Green at the line. No overtaking until you have crossed the start/finish line.

146-ish-mph. 👍

Lap times?


Hopefully it'll be more like the Lotus Elise days with this reduced grid.

 

[DaxCobra]

Anyone else get Dc'd from PSN?

 

[Carbonox]

Servers going nuts.

 

[DaxCobra]

I have a feeling todays race is off... :S

 

[Dano20]

I'm ok now

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I have a feeling todays race is off... :S

Don't say that yet, if the servers are still dodgy at 3:50ish then it's maybe time to decide that.

Unable to connect right now. Resetting everything.

 

[Dano20]

Guys I'm pulling out of the championship because I know I will probably not have a race as I'm slow

 

[quade420]

It just takes practice bro. Don't rage quit, we have a shot at some points today, I don't care if we're just driving around at the back. You won't get any better unless you race against guys like these. I'm really slow too but I'm still gonna give it a shot. You never know what might happen in a race like this.

 

[Dano20]

I didn't rage quit I had to go somewhere unexpectedly

 

[DrivingForce]

Good way how to finish the season for me, getting smashed into on the 2nd lap, so today was a complete waste of time. And I'm unable to race next week, just hope next season will be better than this one.

 

[DaxCobra]

What did I say?

One of us will DC this race.

I'm going to go and cry for a little while.

Who DCed?

 

[quade420]

Who hit you driving force? If it was me I'm sorry, I tried to give the whole pack a wide birth. I saw you go off but you were easily a car length in front of me.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

People were being way too eager in the first half of the race, once we spread out the race calmed down and was simply awesome.

 

[Phouchg]

Some DC's, rage quits and fuel outages meant I caught 4th. 2nd and 4th for the team.. still not the best team today though.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Worth noting:

1. Niko literally passed IndyColts around 150-200 yards from the finish line.

2. Carbonox ninja'd fastest lap from me on the last lap as I ran 2:04.995, and he stuck right behind me in draft.

At the start a lot of people were making dives and sticking their noses into gaps that weren't on. It's that that made me take an early stop. Once everyone had spread out, everything calmed down.

Had I been able to stretch my legs from the start and hadn't overfilled, I might've been on for more, but still good to rack up another podium. 👍


EDIT: Also worth noting that:

LongbowX is Champion!!!

I'm not sure who hit me off because I couldn't save the replay.

Haha awesome! It's funny cause we didn't see each other

All hail longbow our ruler!
