Had damage three times, caught up to glen who was second with 15mins to go I then hit the wall. Drove the last 15mins with the car pulling to the left with front right damage. Was a very good race. Thanks guys
 
Can I move to a reserve? I don't think I can commit to running this early on a saturday every week anymore and wouldn't want to prevent someone else from running. Cheers!

Thanks all who attended, was a tough a gruelling race for me. First 1.25hr went great. Started on the mediums and kinda managed to hang on to the lead pack (about 15 seconds down) then done a few stints on the softs and made my way back up towards the front. Even had the lead at one point.

Came out of the pits on my final stint on the softs, right behind Merlin, followed for a few laps before stuffing it at Skyline, picked up damage and had to pit. Decided as there was about 35 minutes left, and I needed to do 25 on mediums still that I would just change to RM and not stop again. However, ran wide at the bottom of the hill, caught the tyres and bam, engine damage, so another stop. Then with about 10 minutes or so to go, going up the hill RS spun, I came over the crest and couldn't see him due to the smoke and darkness, bam engine damage again and a long limp back to the pits. I then put on the softs for the final 2 or 3 laps, to try and get fastest lap on low fuel, and would have done it on the last lap if I didn't run wide at Skyline again, luckily I didn't pick up damage that time.

Either way, was a good race. The overall pace levels seemed very similar, and bar individual mistakes, it would have been mighty close!

-----------------------------------------------

Anyway, could everyone who raced please fill out this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Mi_h4x0XKWURu1B4DCzYyG5PTzFlQ0QgIKI5GcyhzCw/viewform

This will significantly speed up the stewarding process and allow results to be published faster.

Onto Suzuka! Cheers guys 👍
 
That was one crazy night! The confusion started in quali where i came out of the pits behind Nail who had the worst lag I've ever seen. He lay down a smokescreen so thick I couldn't see anything. I eventually crashed from it and had to pit without any lap under my belt. Didn't get any real good lap so when I saw "last lap" in the text box I knew it had to count. I encountered some traffic in the final part of the lap but still managed 2nd (by 3 thousands of a second according to someone).
To my surprise it then turned out that my last lap didn't count. Which I guess have something to do with roberte writing last lap a bit late and then took the picture of final results at the right time.

Anyway, then we had a lot of delays because some didn't know how the start procedure worked and some crashed in to each other on the warm up lap. When we finally got away though it was great. I quickly made it up to second and were chasing down hamilton, passed him and then he made some mistake and I had a good lead. Here's where my luck ran out. Had a little crash and had to pit prematurely and came out behind hamilton.

And noow my bladder started make itself known and I just got slower and slower as I couldn't concentrate. Finally I had enough and made an extra pit stop just to empty my bladder. Lost about 2 minutes and came out in third. And to add insult to injury I had totally forgot that this was a night race so hadn't even touched the track at night, ever. So I just crawled through the night never getting a time under 2 minutes and with damage most of the time.

Last few laps I knew roberte had to be pretty close behind after all my mistakes and I were really feeling the stress. Then when I came out on the straight towards the chase for the last time I saw someone really slow in front of me. I pass him and it's Revoy and I finished at a totally undeserved second place. :P

Crazy race, sorry for the essay. ^^

As an edit to my story, I just went back to the replay. Poor revoy. He led with almost a lap over me but got damage on second to last lap and when he pitted it seems it didn't fix the damage so he had to limp all the way round again. That really sucks. Fix your game PD.

I was passing by when that happened, he seemed to have gone straight past his pit box. I think it was a botched pit entry.

i finished third, had a tap with stiggy on lap 7 which put us in the pit, from there on in I did double stunt of mediums, put softs on after 67mins and didn't push because I didn't want to make a mistake, but as I overtook stiggy my tv turned off so lost more time. Crashed at the top of the mountain so had to put again with 30mins to go. Caught up to glen with 16mins to go but I them tapped the wall and had right front damage, drove the last 16mins with damage just to get home

Roberte can you make sure you have all of the AM's on your friends list! Bresson couldn't join as he couldn't find the room last night due to not being added on your friends list. I think it is a bit unfair that we started without him (possibly others) considering he hasn't been added. As host I would expect you to add all the AM's to your list! But if you are in AM class guys please make sure you have Roberte added to your PSN also!

I quote "start without them its their loss they didn't join" well no ****ing wonder!

To be fair it's not roberte's responsibility to add everybody. If they are not capable of adding the host and being there on time it is actually their loss.
