Quaily was big time messed up, I'm not sure if we had the right spot.
Turn 1 was lag, and I couldn't see nel (this happens 50/50). On my replay, carbon gets loses and T-bone me into the grass, then wall.
The race was fun, I'm sorry but I kill fordMKIV because someone decided that was a good time to talk to me, I had to glance over for a second.....
When I dragged the top 3 down, there was something mad going on... I won't comment what it looked like to me as I'm sure lag did it.
That gave carbon and I a good gap for 1st and 2nd, I had to kill my tires just I catch carbon and friends so my only hope was a crash by carbon.... never happened.
I watched the replay and am now very happy I got 2nd, my tires were completely gone. Carbons were still very good.

Just to note, on my replay Carracer was shaking (likely because he and neljack were in the same place) and then I got T-boned and sent into one of those brake markers, which put me in a full stop and killed my back end for some time. I don't know if I hit anyone off when spinning, but can it really be my fault even if it happened? No, it was the lag's fault all the way.

My race:
Started 12/13 and made up 7 places in the first corner by just keeping well back. I then slowly moved up the field and eventually took the lead. I led on and off for a bout 4-5 laps before Carracer divebombed me into Parabolica and pushed me wide into the sand, but he waited and I commend him for that 👍. That left me 5th and I stayed there for a while before I pit in ahead of several people who then passed me in the pit lane because my team refused to release me
. I came out 10th and slowly began chasing down those ahead of me, I passed one guy (Hainuinimic?) and began hunting down Neljack running consistent 56-57s, caught him and set the fastest lap in the process (1'55.637 
). I had a nice battle with (my future team mate 👍) Neljack for 3 laps or so, passed him and pulled ahead a bit, but my tyres had had it, I was struggling to run 1'57s and soon I made a mistake and was re-passed by Neljack. I then fell into the clutches of TeamLotus_Seven and we had a great battle, despite a few bumps, but inevitably my shredded tyres caused me to understeer through Lesmo (1) and run slightly wide into the gravel leaving me trailing Seven and losing time. I then understeered wide agin, this time through Lesmo 2 and my outside rear clipped the sand sending me into a spin. As I careered across the track I was T-Boned by Robert (sorry... 
) which sent him into the wall. I then lost a good 10seconds or more waiting for him to re-pass me before I could get back on with it. I was back to 10th but I was catching Robert and DK ahead of me, we battled it out for half a lap before DK was bumped (nothing malicious- Racing incident IMO) into the sand by Robert promoting me to 9th. My tyres were literally awful now so I just coasted to the line to take 9th.
Overall a fun race I had some good battles but bad luck and pressing too hard was my downfall.

I had a fairly good race. Was in the running for 1st for the most part but a spin on the last corner near the end put me in 5th. I had to fight for 4th against Neljack (excellent battle I might add) but ultimately lost that one.
EDIT: I'm uploading my replay if you don't have one already Dax.

Sorry about crashing you, but the "divebombed" was not a stupid passing attempted, someone came it to the room I was sitting in and I looked up for a split second and missed my brake point. I was hopping we could pull away from the GTRs with me pushing you.

I don't think any penalty are needed, it was lag that made the mess at the start.

It's fine. I'm not going to get all judgmental about it, I mean it's all for fun we aren't professionals. It was completely out of the blue as I was sure I had a good few car lengths on you, but you let me back through and I respect that. We all make mistakes. 👍
I was more 🤬 off with my pit crew who wouldn't release me and I lost 3-4 places.

There was one time when I went into the pits on Fuji in a saloon series and the pit crew never let me out at all. T_T

I had fun being the safety car, for all of one lap. But their was a bit of a mess up with the grid potions 
. But never mind.

It's a shame I've missed this race. Always loved Monza.
I had a cool experience today... got to ride in a Ferrari 458 Challenge car and am invited to be co-driver at local event.
Can you believe it?!?!

Congrats to Carbonox for 1st (woo-hoo!) and Damon for 3rd! Death By Carbon will win this championship before the last race!

For some reason I seemed quicker than everyone through the Lesmos. I pulled away from Carracer and Sumo through there and often got alongside Neljack and Seven out of Lesmo 1. They all caught me in the chicanes though. 
Also in the car specs it says the GT has 523pp with full aero when it actually has 525pp. 👍

Also private lobbies seem to not record fastest times for the grid. Yesterday and Suzuka were both (Carbonox's) private lobbies and in both the grid was jumbled up.

And it's a GT. And I used the wheels with the darker grey alloy with the lighter, polished rim. It would have been better without the spoiler but....
I'm so sad......
