Be sure to register for the race first. The hosts send out PSN Text Chat invites to all of the registered drivers by 9:20 PM eastern. You have until 9:30 to join the chat room. Once everyone is present, or the deadline has passed, the host sets up the room and everyone joins.

We use Public lobbies, but this method allows us to set the room capacity to the exact number of drivers we have present at race time, so once we fill the room it basically becomes a private lobby.

no_affiliations timed out

I got a good start, and Rooster (nearest guy to me on speed in practice) didn't get by group until about 10 laps in so I was able to just run consistent and manage wear from the front. About halfway, about half the guys pitted (I did not nor did I plan to) which really shuffled the order. Possibly vk/biker/no_a were in a 3-up battle when I arrived to lap them late in the going, at that time I had a nice gap back to 2nd so I wasn't going to press. no_a spun from in front of me so I followed vk/biker for a bit. Noticed no_a caught me (fresh tires detected) so I let him by and he immediately spun out again. Watched vk work past biker (whose tires were apparently dead) and I finished right behind vk. Wall and maybe biker got to dodge my AI-driven car during the timer.
