Guys i'm feeling guilty about what happened, because my whole race was already fcked up after half a lap...

The start was pretty good, passing Mike on the outside of turn1, chasing Merlin on the 4th place, he ran a bit wide at Skyline, there was the gap , i went for the pass on the next corner outside but i hit the wall because of the cold tyres, and then Merlin hit my back , i hope his car wasnt damaged because of this... my car did, pitstop...

And then the 2nd lap, i crashed with Totalsience, he was standing on the middle of the track, i came too fast, i think he saw it but we were both moved to the same direction, my car was damaged again, 2 pitstops in 2 laps... one minute behind everyone...

On the 31th lap i came in for my med tyres, But forgot to put on those meds, ( ) so i came in again one lap later at lap 32, i dunno if it counts as braking the tyre rule, 19 or 20 laps on med, i think my pit was way before the finish line so i think those meds was on the car in the 31th lap (at least the very end of it.. ) Of course if i'll get disqualified because of this, ill accept it, i'd also do that to myself. This was my most stupid race, worst drive ever, making tons of ugly mistakes, crashes, and then that red flag was the top of everything, if i didnt join the room again.... noones race would be changed. i'm really angry for myself, i dont even deserve that 7th place, not talking about the 3rd.. a podium finish, while i was 1.30 minute behind before the red flag... dunno... that red flag rule isnt that good, i'd say if someone gets disconnected, it means an engine failure and thats all, it wont ruin anyone others race...

If your engine did go out, and your parked on track, there could be a safety car which would bunch everyone back up again anyway.

Maybe we can think about that rule.. I think most of us can accept the race results, at least your 3rd place means another 2 pp penalty at the next race We can´t change what happened, so let´s take it as another experience to learn from. The Crashes also didn´t happen because of you, they relie to the drivers themselves.

5500km of testing setups to wreck the car after 12 laps yay
Sorry guys but this is too much. I cannot see any point in racing anymore in this series

The "good" tracks will come towards the end I would like to race along with you, but your decision relies on you

 

[HMilan21]

"another 2 pp penalty" Isn't it only 1 penalty? I had 8 already(1st place in championship+1win) and one more 3rd place is only one point more, i think. My car was already powerless, i ran at 600 rear wing to try to keep up on the straights but no use, it will be funny to drive with like 515 hp on Daytona

 

[RS__96__oO]

As far as I know you´re required to drive with pp penalty unless you finish 4th or less

Wait till you see my penalties
I'll be tagging along with you.

 

[HMilan21]

Yes i know i tought one more 3rd place is only one more penalty pp... I can feel every lost hp and it hurts like hell

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Yeah 1pp, that's gunna suck at Daytona combined with your others.

@Revoy, that's reeeaaallly gunna suck at Daytona

 

[Mini Stiggy]

So I will be running -1pp, right?

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Also, I forgot. What's a good lap at Daytona?

 

[gtpcaine]

Also, I forgot. What's a good lap at Daytona?

One without spinning / crashing

 

[gtpcaine]

I had a race to forget. At the red flag I almost couldn't believe my luck. I got damage on lap 1, and pitted. Then a misunderstanding with Total (sorry mate) caused more damage on lap 2, pitted again, was miles back.

Not happy after getting pole. Anyway, kept pushing and was gaining ground. Pitted in on lap 17, meant to put on mediums, but no box popped up, so had to go out on softs again. Lap 20 I got damage, so pitted and this time put the mediums on. Was going good, gaining ground and making positions. Somehow managed to get upto 3rd by lap 40, and was just about to pit after 20 laps on mediums when red flag was called. I couldn't believe it! I though after my bad start I wouldn't have a hope, and then here I was, 12 laps to go. Red flag, fresh start... and then well.... we all know what happened next. Was really hoping for a good result here.

Anyway, at least that's 1 bonus point for pole.. something to take away!

I knew you had to pit again before the red flag ..bloody red flag demmit ...After a poor quali i got a good launch at the start but Dan never and i took evasive action to the grass and dropped back to 11th, managed the whole race before the red flag with no damage, only a run wide on the first bend that cost me about 6-7 secs..so at lap 40 was sitting pretty in 4th with enough tyres and fuel to finish, caine in 3rd but still to pit and all was looking good for a podium..then the red flag..restart, another great launch but nowhere to go and lost a spot to stiggy..then a pile up, and pit for major damage and thats all she wrote, 5th'll do. 👍

 

[gtpcaine]

How about a petition to take red flag result as final hey... I'll go with that!

 

[HMilan21]

Agreed...

Stop complaining

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Stop complaining

Yeah

Hi guys sorry been quiet, as most of you know I have been doing the N24

For those interested ABL got provisional 3rd (pending confirmation of completed laps) (see link in my sig for official results when they are published and also videos)

@HMilan21 don't worry mate, a red flag is something that can happen in real world racing, we are fortunate that there is only 1 reason to see a red flag, just a shame PD's servers help us see it more often than we would like. What happened after the restart was not your fault (that I know of, not see replay yet) just an unfortunate incident in a very unfortunate place (don't ask me how I stopped and avoided damage).

@Tk_Hansen surely not leaving us? 12 laps of Bathurst without crashing is good and you seem to be forgetting that you are not expected to keep up with the lead cars, only the AM drivers and only 2 of them finished meaning you only had to finish the race for 3rd in class podium finish. How often do you meet your team mate for practice and testing?

 

[gtpcaine]

Again, just to expand on what Mike said, you don't even have to complete 100% of it. As long as you reach 75% race distance you are classified in the results.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Congrats on the podium Mike

Watched a few hours of it last night, and the last hour today. It looked very fun:tup:. Just wish I knew someone that can play GT

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

The final restart and sprint finish was great, also cheers mate but not a podium yet (just provisional) still waiting for official confirmation due to red flags causing confusion on laps completed 👍

 

[merlinrichards]

I had a good race, first time podium and GT-R did what I told it to do, no damage taken. I was abit mistaken on the RM tyre [20 or 26] rule so I just did 13 lap stints on both. 13 rs, 13 rm, 13 rm, 10 rs after re start. Was lucky with caines mishap, I braked, flashed my lights, closed my eyes and took the right side in front of him lol. Hope that Daytona will be another good DRY race and the bustop don't cause too much trouble for us lol. Did a little test last night and getting a 1;40.9 on the 2pp penalty.

 

[RS__96__oO]

I was the "lone wolf" at Bathurst, the only time I was in a fight was with Mikey right in the lap before the DC from Milan. Oh yes and the 2 starting rounds, powering down the 1st long straight with Caine It´s a shame that you crashed, I was looking forward to a hard race ..

Hehe, yeah I wasn't happy you managed to beat me twice in one day!

It is a shame I crashed, during the night I was gaining between 2-4 seconds a lap on you, managed to get a 1'30 gap down to about 40.. if only I was out in front!
