**COMPLETED ** SNAIL-GReddy Z "No ABS" Drivers Challenge Champion: Roman_GT23

[Roman_GT23]

Wow, had a chance to peek in on the race replays to grab fast laps, and looked to be some great racing and some intense battles. @Roman_GT23 and @SAMHAIN85 you fellas seemed like you couldn't avoid racing each other if you tried. Very fun to watch.

Well you weren't there so I had to picture Sam has you to keep me motivated

​

Congratulations to @Roman_GT23 on the tiebreaker Event #1 Overall Win. Fastest lap of the night was the deciding factor.

Next Event:
Event #2
Laguna Seca
Conditions: TBD
Monday, February 15th.

Event Details post will be out later this week.
Great Racing everyone.

Yay! I actually won one......... *then sees how fat he's going to be next race* Aw poop! 🤬

In all seriousness though I saw @SAMHAIN85 on the grid and I was like ok if I get top 3 mission accomplished. Just to keep him in my windshield the qualy race and R1 I was cloud nine. And then to hold him off for R2 and win.....forget it. I almost threw a block party in the snow.


Oh man. Laguna Seca...........I have to race now. That's my jam....... fine put me as primary

It was a fun one watching you 2 go at it. I'll get the roster edited and your now in the primary list. See ya this Friday. Great racing fellas.

 

[DublDee]

Well that was an interesting race night to say the least. Great job to the organizers for putting another great series together.
Unfortunately I just wasn't consistent enough.......well I was consistently out of control I guess, but in all seriousness I watched the replay just now and feel I should just apologize to everyone for either holding you up, hitting you, taking your line, breaking too late/early but I feel the one that took the brunt of my lack of skill was @IceWarden I totally took you out at one point and made contact with you several times. I really hope this didn't play into your decision to bow out, however, I don't see how it couldn't be at least part of the reason(if it was please reconsider).
Anyway I do apologize and will be putting in some serious seat time before the next race to avoid this from happening again.

 

[Roman_GT23]

Here's the first round of races from my cockpit

 

[Marcus Garvey]

Just to piggyback on DublDee's post, also again my apologies everyone, and specifically to @RACECAR for the bump in T1 on Lap 2 of the quali race, to @Roman_GT23 for the bump in Race 1 Lap 1, as well as @GTR4MROD for the bump in the same corner Race 1 just two laps later. After the second bump of the race, I made sure to stay out of the pack so I wasn't adversely affecting anyone else's race from then onwards. I recorded the quali race on the PS4, but the capture wasn't long enough to grab Race 1, so below is my replay from Race 1. I didn't record or save the replay for Race 2 since I parked it at the start to just try and stay out of everyone's way. If you have nobody else to fill the back of the grid in the future I'll be sure to keep from impacting others' races. The car is quite a joy to drive.

 

[Noob01_lmdead]

They race from my point of view
Good battles

 

[AngryEater]

I'll be on the DL until further notice.

 

[Rob Brown]

Laid 10 laps down. Good laps in the mid 1:39s. Best 1:38.686.

I'm available as a reserve if needed, but I think it's probably best for everyone else on track if I sit this one out.
