Well...what can I say. I'm gutted really. Race was going great, had led most of it and had the pace with it too, it felt even worse that I had to go whilst leading. Special Thanks to Randy and all the other drivers for making my 500 debut feel even sweeter. I'm sorry Furi for not getting you any points.

I guess drinking some milk afterwards was the only consolation.

Oh well there's always a next time I suppose...
 
That was a bloody train wreck. Had a great set up for the car and could not really utilise it.

Crash after crash, people not knowing the rules, overtaking under yellows, pitting when it’s closed, break testing.
Many of the drivers in the FRL have been around long enough so not to drive like complete tossers, so why do you?

Time for @Furinkazen to wield the axe.
 
Disconnected a few laps before the end, somehow CND disappeared and went invisible to me halfway through as well. I knew I was about to be DC'd before I did because I stopped being able to here everyone talking, so sorry if you were shouting at me I couldn't here :/

The way I ended up multiple laps down was because I was taken out by one of GKMs many lag spikes, so then pitted, fell a lap down from the stop then a caution was called, so I was stuck a lap down on everyone. This happened multiple times from being involved in crashes, so basically I was screwed over the same way I was in Madrid. Sorry for going into the pit when I shouldn't have, but every part of my car was totalled and it was un-driveable, going around another lap would have taken me like 5 minutes so I had no choice.

Record for people running into the back of me: 3/3 races.

I like this series but changes need to be made. I could easily report over 20 different incidents to the stewards from tonight but I won't bother as it's just not worth the hassle because of my overall position.

Plenty of stuff to sort from first half race...

Shame as final quarter was amazing. 4 wide finish by 0.01 seconds!
 
Apologies to everyone for any and all bad racecraft on my part. :(
 
As I presumed, I lost about 40 HP midway through the race, which hurt my pace. Managed to get into a few battles with Furi though, but on the second half I became the punching bag of the field. GKM seemed oblivious to my calls of going too slow, lots of brake-testing on the greens. Overall a bad experience, I'll think twice before coming again. It's like some people weren't made to race open-wheelers.
 
The brake testing got old fast because then the guy restarting last would pull to the outside and blast past half the field. There were about 15 cautions in the first 45 laps or so. Pretty crazy race honestly. Congrats to Spurgeeeeeeeee for winning. Fun race when we weren't under caution or getting slammed by the occasional lag spike or brake test
 
Rather take the final 100 laps than the first 100 laps, whoever was dragging ass on the restarts should be slapped. :mad:

Other hand a 6th place fighting with the lead pack is not bad.
 
Whoever was doing the restart crap is facing a hefty penalty or exclusion. Some of you are allegedly "champions" and the last quarter of the race proved you can be the cleanest, and best of all. However immature rubbish like trying to get Akmuq to Skype call me mid race makes me think twice about your positions. Oh and I had phone to attend to under yellow as well early on, hence some of my slowing down...

Stunning last 50 laps though, if we had 4x lots of them there would be little complaining.
 
I would like to apologize for my somewhat colourful language at times during the race, but those restarts (and brake tests) completely drained my patience...

Also that time when I stayed in the pause menu for quite some time was because my cat got scared with something while on my sister's lap and left her with some scratches on the neck as well as two deep cuts in both hands, which I had to help her with at first before someone else took over the nursing...


As others already mentioned, that many cautions in the first half of the race were horrid, but overall this was still a fun experience...
 
Was busy mate, mentioned it a couple of days ago haha.

Damn so close!

The brake checks on restarts could have just been because people weren't keeping up. And I don't think anyone told @Akmuq to call you, at least not in our skype call.

Well I had mine off anyway, don;t want to kill internet. I'll check again but I think we had 1 or 2 brake checkers for sure.

Oh and :cheers: on the win.
 
Ahh sounds like it was a pretty fun race overall then; congrats on the win Spurgy.

First 100 laps were 🤬 12 cautions I think and 3 aborted restarts. Last 100 laps had around 5 yellows but also some longish stints. 36 laps I think was longest spell roughly.
