NoThanks niss!
I always tried to be very very close to the kerb, that explains why I was so fast in the second chicane.
By the way @Stephen Vann why do you keep putting race start time at 12:00? Can't we have a night race?

Actually a night race isn't such a bad idea... But not on any of the remaining tracks. I'd love to see the inclusion of nurburgring (GP/F), at night.
Switch with midfield?

I want to congratulate this last podium:
@CrazyJohn Perfect race mate 👍. From the begining I saw that you was faster than me and I had no chance to catch you.
@nissman . Great job coming from behind 👍. What a pity that our battle finished with me in the wall
@DrAug . To be on the podium its always a good reason for to be congratulated but when you do it with that Lexus in Monza..... its really amazing.
My race starts good, being second and getting after 30 min a good gap of 9-10 sec with the third position with a high DF (thinking in the rain) . Until suddenly, I saw myself in the ascari´s banker
. It took me a long time to go out of that banker, loosing the gap and the position. From this moment on, started for me a new race trying to catch Niss. I catched him, but a couple of laps later, another mistake, finished with all my options. Very angry with myself, I tryed to keep the 6th position, but it was not possible for an incident with @luke norris at the second chicane.
Resume: Could be an "easy" second position, but I finished 8th. Things for learning and the rest..... to forget

Well...I had a terrible race too.
At the start I seemed to have good enough race pace which surprised me and was chasing Monkey nicely but not long in,Luke's car (which for me was sat on the grid the whole race) glitched into me as others passed it on the start finish and spun me out at what must have been ~150mph, big damage and big time loss. If the GV incident wasn't fatal for me then that would have been !
And it went down hill from there, including a silly last ditch gamble on wet tyres. I had occasional good spells of pace where the delta to the leader stayed constant but these were rare.
BUT. I finished the race, and I'm better at Monza than I was before.
On a brighter note, I think Monza is all about being good on the brakes, and I think that's what John absolutely nailed this race so well done, and also Aug as well, not only for being quick but to be so utterly consistent

Can I or should I buy a new car ? Had noticed after the redbull when I done an oil change and restored body rigidity my bhp was 559 and pp 601. Thought nothing off it simply increased power to 89.7 % and that sorted it. After last night's race noticed the same because I only changed it on set-up A and not C (used C for race A for qualy). I decided to buy a new car today just to check it out and have noticed that in order to get 560 bhp 602 bhp my power % needs only to be set to 89.6%. Setting the new car to 89.7 % only gives me 1 extra bhp no increase in pp. I'm at 16.732 km tried overhauling the engine no change. So repeating my question -
- Can I or should I buy a new car ?
btw I was looking at the reply to have a look at what seemed like to me while racing to be a 'very rough bump' during a overtake. Need better connection. There was no rough bump in the reply it shows it as a tiny touch if even a touch

Monkey, after a certain amount of miles the oil needs a change
also then the engine needs a rebuild, but you should see that in pit service with an indicator.
try lowering the power slider to 0% and taking off the tubo tuning.
then add the mid turbo back again and move the power slider back up again.
I have had the same issue before with a car that has done many miles, and a few times
i found it was a new turbo that sorted the pp back to the correct setting.

I keep pushing for this, time and time again, there are very detailed info about the engine detoriation right here on GTP.
@Hastatus has already answered your question here:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt6-–-oil-engine-and-high-mileage-hp-deterioration-guide.302338/
Basically, yes, after 10 000 km the engine starts loosing power and there is nothing you can do about it. Buy a new car.

I don't normally quit races, but it was a catalogue of small things combined which sent me backwards which would have made it rather tiring to continue in P12 alone a minute down. Even with a combination setup, it would have been something running with a pack of cars.
Congrats to John, Niss and Aug for a great results on their own merit!

INCIDENT REPORT RESULT
CRAZYJOHNISHERE & JFROD52
LAP 47 TURN 2
AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW WE HAVE DECIDED THE FOLLOWING
No action.
John coud have left more room knowing Javi was up the inside.
Also after Javi bumped John he got off the gas and waited for John to recover.
John recovering went onto the green slippy matting, however keeping the throttle full on ended up spinnig.
Javi was off the gas pedal.
We saw the incident as a racing incident without intent, and the fact Javi got off the gas to allow John time
to recover from the bump, also Javi kept into the apex as tight as he possibly could have done, and the fact that john
did squeeze javi a bit not moving over a little to give Javi room, and finally that john did spin on his own.
We do not need further comments on this - we try our best to look at it in fairness and it is now considered closed.

No. I was literally being pushed into the concrete.
No. He left without waiting, after I span out.
No.
Depends.

Ok Rich, i dont think the lag was one of the fast guys, i think it was Lets party ? i cant remember though.
But there is no easy way to answer you, i feel bad that you have suffered and we did not do another pace lap.
Its hard to get messages once the pace lap has started, and generally it sorts out by the end of the lap.
But apologies for that Rich.
Also in reply to the legup, it was generally given to those that were off the pace in Q and the race re laptimes.
I talked to you about it, and generally you were on the pace.
Let me speak with Niss, i am sure we can give you a legup Rich dear.

Depends in the case. Bumper if chasing or trying to do very fast laps (and Q), bonnet to hear my engine and third view when having battles. And cockpit when "relaxing" / going slower.
