Once our race is over, I'll almost certainly open a room in the open public lobby for more Daytona action. I would recommend having two cars ready, a 502hp with hard tires and a 892hp with soft tires. We could run either, or some of both, depending on the crowd.

Also, I won't be doing the "turn up with 15 minutes to go and snatch pole" thing, since my setup isn't suited for lapping solo and is a tenth or two off of my older setup's solo pace. That old setup wasn't exactly the fastest either. Though I will still probably turn up 15 minutes or so before the race starts.

Every single time "disconnected from the server." Couldn't stay in the room for more than a minute before getting a disconnect, so impossible to join and race. That's finished off my chase chances.

Tough break Joe, but I believe you still get points for showing up and making it out on the track. So I think you're still very much in it, as I didn't win or lead the most laps. It's going to be a good battle still.

Ugh......
Got knocked out of the pack early on, but acdc and drop crashed and fell behind me. They bump drafted back to me and the chase was on. The gap was 9 seconds when we first got together but we knocked it down to 3 seconds by lap 22, the lead pack seemed to pull away from us for the next few laps and then we had to make up 4 seconds in the final 8 laps, we had some epic bump-drafting going on, making the half a second a lap required but on the third-last lap, just 2 seconds behind in turns 1 and 2, we had a big accident. I think it was my fault, drop thinks it was his fault, I'll check the replay, but it was a bummer and made all our hard work for nothing.
It was a brilliant chase down, but an anti-climax to it.
Shame, because before the race I felt as if it was my best chance at a win in the chase.

I'm pretty sure knelly bumped his time with fresh tires and no fuel.

Nice race guys. Too bad the field got separated in the beginning. Me and knelly where battling hard to lead the most laps. I think between knelly, niop and i we must have had 25 lead changes between us.
Droptop and the rest of the field where going to catch us on about lap 38 or 39 if they hadn't had a mishap on lap 37, that would have made for a crazy finish.
Knelly had a run on my outside coming to the checked flag, but a late push to my bumper from niop helped send me past him, i owe you one niop.

I wasn't tryin' to help you, I was goin' for the win. But I didn't want to go below the yellow, just had no where to go so you got a boost lol. But looking at the replay, I think you still enough momentum without the push to win it.
