While were on topic, I should let you know that my N network started acting up this week(it's always been unreliable). The PS3 is on the G Network so in theory I should be fine since I've never had a problem with that network, but just giving you guys a heads up.

I will get my race report out of the way now:
I hate this track, i hated this race, one of the worst days of my life. Cant remember much of the race, all i remember is getting a call from my girlfriend on lap 35 or something, i put her on loud speaker. She then breaks up with me 15 minutes later. 18 months in a relationship and she breaks up over the phone
Congrats spurgy, well raced.
I am now heading over to my girlfrie......no wait exgirlfriends house...wish me luck

I ran out of fuel heading around the final lap heading around the parabolica.
Man that last half mile goes by slow at 50 mph.
Got past up by rhys but hung on for 3rd. "Smart Heart" my Williams teammate has NO HEART. He drove right by me. No push for your points scoring mate.
Fairly incident free for me, I just lacked the pace of Spurgy. I dont know what he was doing to eek that much out of it....... that was some high speed driving. I thought we were all in the same car.

That sucks man^ @pagey
But anyway on lap 20 at ascari sorry about bumping you berty
and the lap 36 incident with me sakery,and electric let me explain the accident. I was passing electric and i did not know sakery was passing me so i pulled to the right and sak hit my right rear i spun out and hit both of you. Sorry
But my race report: Beginning was awesome! I was doing so well until my first pit stop. My hands got all sweaty though(hate the controller) and i just started slipping all over the controls and spinning. It was terrible. And i was hoping for 10-9 place the way it went at the beginning but ended up in 13th
and whats your psn rish s?

I like mustard, just something about it. 
That track is tough, it broke up more than I thought it would. Following in the draft was tough, I think its because you loose sight of your line while staring at the car ahead.
I know that I shouldnt complain, and I wont. I will say that for season 3 I'd strongly vote for mild penalties, to get lapped traffic out of the way & too smooth things out a bit. I'm 5,000 miles away; its un-nerving passing and I know my image isnt accurate on the other end of the wire either.

Great race guys, MASSIVE congrats to spurgy who ran an awesome race, sometimes I was catching sometimes I wasnt but just couldnt close him down
get the reports in. Nightmare lag on the first lap and thanks for not all moaning about it 👍
Updating the OP now, stewards will start tonight.
I didnt enjoy the race too much but some days are like that, I got a bit of luck at the end with rich's fuel sitch so cant complain.
Unlucky to Etid who got disconnected and special congrats to Flood (great finish) and Fastkn (ditto)
Watch this space.

We have already had mild penalties. It doesnt work to well. You can get one tire off going wide and it counts it as a penalty. It was really bad.

If you enter the Pit with too much speed you´ll get "reseted" at the pit-entry. If that happens you´ll get a 3-8seconds "penalty".
=> I brake at the pitentry once but on my 2nd stop I forgot it => had the same.
Race-Report:
Start was horrible !! You got pushed from every side. My 8th position turned fastly into almost last.
Worked my way up until I reached ellis.
Fought with him during the whole race (after lap 27ish he was gone) and me think fair and square (minor contact but acceptable).
During the fight with ellis I realized that I could get Flood at the end of the Race => I raced with him at the same time he being infront.
After first stop I could have been 5th but me screwed the braking for first chicane after pitexit => lost my hard earned positions (brett, flood and ellis -_-)
Again had some pretty nice duells with ellis until I got lapped by Spurgy
=> me went on the Spurgy train
(I hope I didn´t make you too nervous, I tried to get some spacing between us)
After 2nd Stop I knew I would have to give it all to overtake Flood.
I had a crash (deadly if it happend in reallife !!) with skate and Flood at first chicane (I went 405kph or something)
=> again some time lost.
Plus Brett lapped me
=> I couldn´t re-lap me although I could have done faster
=> went on the Brett train.
We gained on Flood till Lap 43. He laped Flood and Flood did the same as me trying to keep up with Brett.
At Lap 43 or 44 I crashed with Flood at Parabolica (sorry again I take all the guilt on me).
At the Last Lap Parabolica Flood passed me and me drafting him for the victory over Flood (under 0.1 seconds gap).
It wasn´t my best day, was impatient while lapping Fast-KN (sorry for that) and had some Mistakes bigger nature.
I´m totally pleased with the 5th position.
