Race 1: Another 5th place, which could have been 4th (probably), hadn't I been involved in incidents with @Gedi69 and @RedPartyhat.

Race 2: Perfect for me, although I had a collision with @Yeratel84 that made me drop 2 places and lose around 3 seconds.

Race 3: No words to describe this. At least I will try to do so...
Intense from start to finish. Defending @DrifterJoe was so hard I was continuously missing the braking zones because of the pressure applied to me. That, probably was the hardest win I ever earned in any league race I took part.

PS: I still have a headache from the third race...

Sorry about that, but my car was unsettled after you bumped me into the grass on the previous corner which unabled me to slow down properly for the following one...
 
Best result was 5th, which is incredible considering I'm usually trying to stay in the top 10. Amazing effort by @CrazyJohn to bring Nukeshot VERT Racing its first win. Hopefully we can keep up the pressure going forward! :D
 
At some point I'll let you know how all the cars compare at Monza. For now I only know the Audi and VW, with the Audi being .6 faster. I already have a setup on the RCZ, just need to do gearing. I need to sort everything on the Megane though.

It's alright, at least I didn't lose a lot of time compared to Race 3 of both Brands and Dragon Trail.
 
Some good news- I've gotten the Audi and VW laptime difference down to quarter of a second.

VW is 2mph slower in a straight line, worse under braking, and understeers more at high speed.
 
Just to clarify, my comment regarding a 3rd team car wasn't to be taken seriously. I was simply poking a bit of fun at the FAS fleet (in a non hostile way of course). Any rumours regarding that can be shot down

Also, apparently we 'might' be getting another livery revision. @CrazyJohn can't be satisfied until we have a different livery for each week

Peugeot is .8 quicker than VW, and .6 quicker than Audi.

VW is a bit nose heavy, hence tyre ware and understeer.

Possible new livery. Is this better @Yeratel84 ?

STEWARDING:

Round #7
- @Ninners instances of weaving on multiple laps, no penalty to result as @DrifterJoe beat you to 2nd. However, a cautionary Strike applied.

Round #8 & 9 - @chrisjohnson93 excessive lag. Strike applied.

STANDINGS:

Yet again, no @Andil so 5 Q spots for Monza.

@Foxed was registered as a team entry with Katie by mistake for Maggiore. This has been fixed.

OTHER:
Kicked some "ghost" entries out, so there are 4 spots open, if anyone you know is interested feel free to direct them my way.
 
May miss Monza since my VRR endurance at N24 was postponed last night and has been moved to March 3rd which will clash with here. Still looking to race Nurb GP here though.

Just to finish this off- Peugeot was fastest, Megane was .2 slower than that, Audi was another .4 slower than the Megane, and the VW was .2 off the Audi.
For top speeds, Audi hits 150mph, Peugeot and Megane get 149mph, and the VW gets 148mph.

You were seriously going to consider giving a penalty for something that isn't against any rules in the OP and had no effect on @DrifterJoe (other than making it harder to stay in the slipstream)? The only weaving I saw was when Joe was a good distance away and Nin was breaking slipstream, he wasn't aggressively blocking or driving dangerously so not exactly sure why anyone should expect it not to be allowed, especially as it's a valid tactic in most racing series and we're in a series where "minor contact" is accepted.

I mean I don't particularly care all too much, just seems a really odd thing to consider penalising, and if you don't want people doing it it should be made clear in the OP.

"Weaving" from side to side isn't.
