Sorry @smsdry, I was a bit too optimistic there hoping to catch you cold out of the pitstop, totally my fault. I'll do the incident form later today.

Hmmm, AM Drivers what about the sprint race. I know we raced it 1st on accident but that 1 needs to written off it's tainted. I pitted on the last lap because of my strategy for a 60min enduro and then the sprint race ended. If you guys are going to try to make the 1st race "The sprint race" the official 1, then it needs to be at the 20min mark because we went over by 2 mins anyways, I have the replay!!!

Edit - I just heard you guys switched, but some of us didnt get the message the tread moves too fast...
That's not cool for some of us + Our room did not do the rev grid for the 2nd race. If that was the case we should of re did the race since GT6 screwed up!!!

We didnt race the Sprint race first on accident, That's the new race setup.
 
My race weekend finally the way I want it to be!
Qualifying - 3rd
Sprint - 3rd
Endurance - 2nd

Qualifying went well a 1:22.2 was a good start.
In sprint I did well just stayed consistent and tried to race my own race. @Husqvarman was putting pressure on me at half way point when I was fourth with racingljne ahead. I start creating a gap to Husq and started pressing hard to get Racingline. I get right behind him the last three laps either not getting close enough or him defending well to not be able to make the pass. On the last lap time is running out and right out of the corkscrew he goes wide into dirt and and gets his tires filled with marbles and the before to last corner he has to take slowly which gives me the pass but it was not secured as he was to my left going into last corner. I go around he outside and get third by about half a second.
Endurance race I was seen to get a great start usually gaining a position or two. I believe I get second but I can't remember xD. I stuck behind able however and racingljne right behind me until racingljne goes to pits with 39mins left. I stick right behind aboe for 3-4 laps and we end up going to pits at same time. I get out right behind him and racingljne just barely got the undercut to both of us. The next laps were great as it was a three way fight for many laps with me sticking behind both of them. I knew if aboe passes him it would be tough to catch him again as I would be behind racingljne and he would pull away on fresher tires than racingljne. I stay behind racingljne until he goes to pits again and then I stay behind above by three to four seconds. During this time @Pedro Martins who was the leader goes in pits really late and we all undercut him by quite a lot. I make a small mistake coming out of turn two (I count hairpin as one). I lose about 8 seconds to aboe and Pedro is right behind me. He makes a mistake however the same place I make mind about 2 laps later. The rest is a drive home 11 seconds behind aboe. Meanwhile racingljne is flying doing a 1.20.0! He gets to pass Pedro on last lap for third and I got second!
Great weekend overall finally some consistency. Tried different things with tune to make it more stable than sliding a bit which I liked in a In S1. It helped a lot and it showed this weekend. GR!
 
I was happy to watch the final 30 minutes of the sprint race today while I was in bed have to say the race up in front was cracking good congrats to Tyson and Viper's first win and America's first win in the AM class :). Was excited to run this race this weekend since Laguna is a special track for me since my first two races that my Dad took me to when I was a kid was Long Beach and Laguna and my first year at Laguna was the race where Alex Zanardi did the pass and I saw that pass with my own eyes and for this race I was going to run his number (#4) on my car in honor of Alex Zanardi for his brilliant show case at that race.
 
I can't post results till later tonight after I get home.
Freakin awesome AM racing you guys. :)

My first win ever on GT Planet and I got it racing with a great bunch of driver's.
I do owe everything to my team mate JoeTruckV8. He got me back into wanting to drive better, smoother and being consistent with my driving. :cheers: :gtpflag:
