I know it's not his fault, I'm just irked at myself for how much time I wasted.

I would but I'm not in the mood atm, I've never actually made it too the start of a 30+ lap NASCAR race without problem before and then this..
Anyway I'll just go back into my shell and watch from the sidelines until next season if I get drafted.

Yeah me too. Too annoyed to even play any GT5. Had a good feeling after that race I might prove myself at my favourite track but no.
Not a happy camper.

I'll summarise the end stint of the race.
I was saving tyres the whole time to have an advantage at the end. There were 4 of us in the lead pack. 3 others then caught us up with significantly better tyres than us (I think either none or 1 of them were on the lead lap) and were fighting with us for track position. With 3 to go I tapped a wall slightly as my tyres faded, and planned then to slowly catch back up to draft past and win at the end (I still easily had the leaders' draft). With 2 to go this was going well and the leaders (me included) were all having to lift off by quite a bit in each turn to not hit the wall. On one of these corners one of the lap down cars hit me from behind and sent me into a wall with no chance of me slowing down in time and ruining my chances of getting any place higher than 4th. I believe it was a Red Bull.
See you guys again on friday for IndyCar.

My take on the race: It was a great battle between 2 Hendrick cars, 2 Ford cars, and 1 Gibbs car in the lead pack. Homeslice and Joe got MStall to bite on their fake pit, one lap before we were all stopping and that put MStall out of our draft and no one around him. After that it was a good ole 2 on 2 battle until 2 laps to go when Joe got bump into the wall, then it was Myself and ACDC to fend off Homeslice. We were able to, but only by a few hundredths of a second. Thanks for the great race, I look forward to the next time. 👍
As for the whole controversy at the end between the 4 lead lap cars with old tires vs the 3 lapped cars with new tires. The 3 cars with new tires were able to catch us as we were all taking it easy to make sure we had enough at the end of the race. It's understandable for them to think they had faster cars and wanted us to let them by, but once they caught us, we all picked up the pace, their cars were not handling as good as the lead cars. You can tell as we were able to put a gap on them and break the draft from them by the end of the race.
Also, tough break for Knelly. I wish you would have had you're race setup on mate.
I think it was more than one car. The bug would have ruined my chances in the race, I had no power and no grip and couldn't even stay with the pack.
