I'm streaming the race on Twitch if anyone wants to watch. This is my first stream, hopefully there aren't too many glitches.

Here's the replay of the race. Bonus, it seems to have picked up our TS chat. Those sausage curbs are brutal!

OP Updated for this Friday.
Please read the Special Details!
Edit: Forgot to mention... even though it may seem silly to force a pitstop on a 15 minute race, there's a reason. I'm planning some longer races (about 1 hour, not run on Friday nights) and I want people to start getting comfortable with pitstops.

This is by far the best pitstop app I've come across.
It's called Pitconfig, all you do is pre-configure your planned pitstop, fuel, tires, repair, pull into your pit and away it goes 👍 You don't gain an advantage time-wise using the app, unless without it, you take way to long to make your selections. It just takes away the fumbling around for the mouse, finding the cursor, clicking etc. With this app you're just the driver pulling into the pits, better hit your mark!!!
It has tabs for extra pit setups, what I've done is use Tab1 for fuel and tires only, Tab2 fuel tires and repairs. You can set it up however you like.
Thought you guys might be interested.
EDIT: lol, and as usual, @Wiz is way ahead of me

Me neither, I'm about to go turn my first laps. We can keep each other company at the back of the grid.

How romanticMe neither, I'm about to go turn my first laps. We can keep each other company at the back of the grid.
Last week the leader always slowed down to pack up the field so we could mingle again. Was that one time only as there was only a couple of us or is that Friday fun etiquette?

I think we only do that when there's a fairly small crowd so we can keep things entertaining for everyone. That's how I always did it in GT. If 20 people show up tonight I ain't slowing down for any of you fools!

Good stuff tonight, despite the lively rear end that's a really fun car. Good track too (though the second tight right-hander was a bit off). The pit stops were fun, added a little something to it and was good practice for the longer raises. I have to buy my crew a round of pints tonight for getting me out ahead of @kcheeb and onto the podium in the third race.

Good crowd and good fun... thanks for coming out everyone!
Pitstops were a fun wrinkle but I probably won't do it again until the longer races. For these short stints all it did was break up the crowd it seemed like.
As of right now I'm going to be out of town next Friday so there may not be any races next week. I'll know for sure on Monday.

Good fun last night, great race with @BrandonW77! Going to have to entice your pit crew to join my team, do they like whiskey or beer
Thanks @Wiz!
Thanks @Wiz!
Still trying to convince my sons that it's not a girl car, it's seriously a hoot to drive.

I too, had loads of fun last Friday. Thanks to all I raced with!
The key to that car was downshifting a bit later than usual, and holding the brake a little longer. so, in other words, if we are using paddles and need to gofrom 5th to 3rd for a corner, it helped to slightly delay when I would do those downshifts, so that the transmission didn't help the car spin. I think it needed to occur at lower revs, was the main problem.
I tried to make a replay, but for some reason they are coming through very choppy. Anyone got some replay recording tips posted somewhere I could take a look at? (Wiz, I've already tried your suggestions at STGT, but maybe because you are leaving more overhead room on your GPU it works better for you? I want to have pretty graphics for replays and not turn things down, so we'll see.

I've tried MSI Afterburner and Shadowplay. Shadowplay seemed more smooth the first attempt, but then when trying it again it was just as choppy as the Afterburner recordings... 
Please tell me, how high up on your GPU usage % does it go when you simply view (and not record) one of the replays you've done? I suspect you are keeping a lot more overhead room which would help with recording. (and I think our conversations about graphics settings allude to that)

Probably correct on the overhead. I don't watch my usages so I haven't a clue where it's at, sorry.
You may want to check out Open Broadcast Software (https://obsproject.com/), I've heard good things about it. I have it installed but haven't really tinkered around with it yet. Shadowplay is just so easy for this lazy sob.
