Race Report
I had a scruffy quali lap but managed to get within 67/1000's of Pagey, I was a bit apprehensive before this race with my heart racing at the start.
Pagey and I traded passes in the early laps before he nailed me going into turn one early on (lap 9 or somthing.) He proceeded to wait for me to escape the sand trap and the move cost both of us lots of time.... It ended well for both of us, very VERY lucky for us that hit didnt loose the race right there.
During the first pit stop I realized I could NOT win this race....my pit stall was the first stall which meant I had all of 2 seconds to select my fuel load & tire compound. Basically I sat in the pitstall for an extra 3 seconds each stop while the retarded PD (Polyphony digital) pit crew sat on their hands waiting for the human driver to decide what he wanted before taking ages to do their work at a sloths pace.
I was 5 secs in front of pagey, then after the last stop I was 5 secs behind after nearly running out of fuel on my 3rd stint. On the 4th stint I did the mediums for 13 laps and started with a solid 5 seconds handicapp. Somehow, out of sheer luck Pagey made a mistake and I clawed back up to him like a tri-athlete at the end of the final 26.2 mile run clawing back to the next runner. I made contact a couple times but didnt take him out. Then on the next lap (39 or 42 something like that) he bumps me slightly going into the icy haripin causing me to slide to a 90 degree angle to the track, and I loose another 6 seconds on him. I dont think it was deliberate but he could have braked earlier. I then proceeded to claw back up to him again somehow (he must have had a problem of some sort) and passed him.
Very crazy race, thought after that first pathetic (PD pitstop glitch) I'd lost for sure. Guess if you keep trying sometimes you get lucky. I wanted so bad to win on the FGTC, I've just had bad luck so far until today.

Race report:
Congrats to mustard, and i apologize for any knocks i gave you, i will explain why.
I was very happy with pole, on the start i got round the first corner cleanly. But it seemed like i was driving in slow motion for a few corners.
The first part of my stint was going well, i would pull out a gap over mustard, but he would catch up on the straight in my draft. So i knew i had the pace to win. But my pace came at a price, my tyres went off very quickly. Then lap 7 i think a heart condition had come back to haunt me, i was feeling really light headed and had a massive headache, feeling cold etc i got the first corner wrong and took out mustard. I waited for him to join the track and overtake me. Because of my tyres towards the end of the stint mustard closed the gap, and then i span a few laps before i pitted.
I pitted on the same lap as mustard, we came out and i closed about 2-3 seconds on fresh tyres, but again they went off really quickly. I only managed to get 10 laps from them. So mustard had pulled away a little.
I pitted a lap before him and came out, and took some time out again, but yet again my tyres went off. I pitted 10 laps later and put on mediums.
I should have retired at this point, i really wasnt feeling well. But i overtook mustard in the pits and carried on. I was all over the place, the mediums didnt help. I took out mustard at some point, it really wasnt intentional, i should have retired really but hey ho. I pegged the gap at 6 seconds for a few laps but i span twice and mustard came through to win.
I had the pace for the win but bad tyre wear and the health problems cost me
I may have to retire from the championship i really dont want to but it isnt good for me (that sounds quite pathetic, racing on the ps3 isnt good for my health) and it isnt fair on people i might take out, sorry mustard!
If it happens again that is

Great race! Well done Mustard. I didn't have a bad race myself, pleased I beat Smithaz in the last laps, not sure what happened to him, maybe a wrong pit strategy? Not sure about what I think people using the wall through the tunnel to gain an extra second, seems like cheating to me?
I'll do my report later. I sent you a complaint on PS3 Brett.
Sign me up for Season 3!
