11/1 isn't very good, but it should be enough. I have been racing myself on a 12/2 line, as opposed to the 250/100 line I'm on now, and to be fair, have you noticed any difference?
Ping is very important though, @luke norris , if you do a speedtest, what ping do you get to;
a- a australian server?
b- a european server?
I'm done wasting my time to practice when I have to drive against dirty drivers at the back of the pack. TRL_Erazer and gu1tar3rich like to shove their way through corners and push people out of the way. They couldn't get past me driving normal and waiting for the opportunity to pass, they had to do it in a dirty pushing way.

The problem is that the entry speeds Erazer takes into corners are very high so if there's a gap, they can take it and not run wide and make the move. But if we aren't expecting it, it results in contact and it has happened to me a few times, when I've turned in to the corner. Now though I expect it more and also drive a bit differently to try and combat it lol

I dont know what you are on about, you left a gap, I was up alongside, and I held my line. And also, it is very true what Danny said, what I loose on the straight, I make up under braking, so if I'm that close, and you leave a gap, what do you expect? Ofcouse I'll go for it.
Pace was as expected, But a rather stupid misstake on lap 1 cost me 15 seconds, wich unfortunately cost me 2'nd place in the end. It was a very frustrating first stint, having to battle with backmarkers. but after my first stop I got some clean air and from then on everything went acording to plan, and my 3 stop strategy worked very well. I'm sure a 2-stopper would have been far worse for me. I'm happy I managed to rescuse something from this, but that misstake haunts me. A race to forget. However it should be said that even without that misstake Danny was out of my reach, and the only reason I would have been able to beat Logic was because he ran out of fuel, so that does'nt bother me, what bothers me is that I got beaten by the IRT guys due to my own stupid misstake, I did not get he maximum out of the car, and that is extremely annoying.
Well done @DannyB013 on 1st, Colossosr33 (no idea how to tag) on 2nd and @Stephen Vann on 3rd very nice 12.8.
I'm not sure I'll get on tonight but will try. I'll have to do my qualy on thurs night cause I'm back on nights over the weekend.

I know I opened up a bit of a gap in that corner, But it still doesn't give you the right to push and bang on others when you pass them in the corners. You did it to Gueven in the race as you passed him in a corner. I was watching you for most of the race. You want to hit and push in the corners, be prepared to get the same treatment when you try passing me that way again. 👍
From my point of view i will just say that, your line through that corner and Erazers line are quite different,
and in my opinion there was no intenet on banging you, it just happened that your lines converged and you came in from a higher line to the apex. You then both ended up on the same place in the bend.
What we must remember is that to try and give everyone a chance, we put the fast guys is slower cars that have less power and are heavier, they can only try an overtake on turns, as on the straights everyone else is faster than they are.
So we are given a help from faster car specs, we must appreciate that they have to push around corners to have any chance in the race.
In my view Tyson, Eraser had no intent to hit you, and that is the important thing, he did not just ram up inside you
without considering you, he just happened to be on the tighter line through that corner and as you came to that part of the line he was there.
Anyone interested in buying a fairly new T300 wheel or a T150 wheel that was fixed by Thrustmaster because of the faulty mounting bracket? Only the T150 was fixed by Thrustmaster, the T300 is excellent and so is the T150 now that it's been fixed by Thrustmaster. I figured this incident would go my way. He wasn't the only one who did that in a corner to me that I complained about and it wasn't the only driver he did it too. I watched his race and a bit of Stephens when he ran out of fuel. I don't just say things happen if it weren't true and I knew it would just become a race incident. If I did that to a driver I would apologize and except my penalty. I've been with this series since Stephen took over. I don't just cry wolf for the fun of it.

You'll have to report it, Stephen viewed our incident because I reported it, not you. If you feel you've been pushed around by another driver at any point, then report it. I know you had more incidents but I will not report someone elses incident. Thats up to you.
And you continue to accuse me of pushing other drivers around too, this kind of pisses me off, I did 4 overtakes in the race: You, Rich, Aug, and Miri. 3 of wich was without any contact at all. I can only assume you are refeering to the bumps on Guev, but it that case, think before you speak.
I got caught out by his extremely early braking, and on 2 occations I could have overtaken, the gap was there. But instead I backed off, because if I had pursued the overtake, it would have been dirty. So I never overtook guev.
I was just about to apologise, but then I read your last comment, saying I did things I did'nt do. I'll not tolearte that.
I'm willing to apologise for the bump but then I want an apology for your accuses of my driving.
That said, I DO owe Guev an apology for the bumps, they where not intentional, as I said I got caught out by your early braking.
I also would like to apologise for my poor choice of words when I said "backmarkers" in their HSV's, that was a bit harch. I did not intend it to come over like that.
Look at the end of the day right it simply comes down to us all being different drivers and having to adjust ourselves each race based on car speed and capabilities etc... Generally if I get bumped I know the people I'm racing with have no real intent on doing so, I my self just take it as a racing incident unless I'm nudged to the extent of going off track but having said that in all the time I've raced in this series anyone that does happen to bump me off track have waited and compromised there whole race... For me it's just racing at the end of the day...
All the stewards are reviewing it and I'm pretty sure the correct decision will be made. My idea from the start was to give everyone extra ballast and lower the power difference to help overtaking and racing, but I don't think that's necessary at the moment after 1 incident.
Anyway, changing the subject lol, it would be great if I could qualify on Thursday and Friday, I have a busy weekend, so will any stewards be around? My pb currently is a 24.8 but I'm pretty sure low 24s are accessible
Cheers 👍
Edit: nah low 24s aren't possible for me at the moment lol
Guys me and @andp132 have decided that we want people to have a look at our incident into turn 1 somewhere within the first 5laps I think... Not as an incident report & certainly not looking for any penalties lol just to make that clear...
We just want to know what others think as we have talked to each other about it already but would like yours opinions so could help maybe in future races??
Thanks
