Better get my side in now before Furi jumps up and down on me for what was a racing incident...

Well that was a nightmare. Joe disappeared and that ruined my start. Quicker than Nin and Furi ahead and after getting the run on Furi down Conrod and got squeezed on the outside, slightly ahead into the chase and by giving Furi room I ran out of road and got fired into the side of him. Race ruined and now in the wrong frame of mind as Furi was saying he was going to crash me off next time I saw despite our incident being a racing one...
 
Going into T2 I tapped the barrier and it stopped my car dead instantly. I tried to accelerate up the hill but the Mustang couldn't build any revs. So I was there crawling up the hill at like 7mph, I was trying to get it to the side but could only go that speed. I am really sorry to those who got wrecked (Snow, Joe + others) so then I just retired as it would have taken me forever to crawl back over the mountain at that speed. Watch the replay.

Was having an ok race till I was run in the back of (yet again). Couldn't get any grip at all in the mountain section, its like there are two sub-classes of GT-O cars: Ferraris and Mercs then everything else. Any chance of me getting top 3 in the championship as gone; can't wait for this series to be over!

Mustang was fast down the straights. Good battle.

2nd in GT-O, first Pro across the line. That counts as a win, right? ;)

I won't be crashing you off because there was nothing deliberate about it, it was just an awfully silly risk to take.


Dropped 2 laps and had @jammy21 and @Phouchg catching me 5 seconds a lap due to pit patterns. Jammy caught me, over shot the Chase and I got away. Niko goes by, nearly spins and they are NASCAR style dorr banging to the line :lol:

Nice. Video of last GTP lap please :P

Wasn't really a silly move, it was a perfectly normal move and you had just said you weren't going to make it easy so I had to make a brave move to get by, you knew I was trying to get back towards the front and had the pace on you, you could have yielded as I was slightly ahead due to the draft...
 
Wow, that was exciting. Great race jammy and furi. Didn't have any time to practise so ran the ferrari with pretty much stock setup: p it worked pretty well with good tires but felt like driving on ice when they got down to 8.

That last corner though.. It should have been an easy pass but due to my double front damage I steered out in the grass a bit. Decided to keep the foot in and give it a try anyway but jammy got a much cleaner exit on the outside and beat me to the line.
 
I got my ass kicked all over the race. Had a few glimpses of hope, but the doors to success were shut on my fingers.

About the Plux/Furi incident, it was just an incident. But I don't agree that it was a "silly" risk. I would've taken the same chance if I had it. Plux just happened to go too wide out of the kink. When you told me about it in the race, I thought it was in the chicane. That would've been very dumb.

And more apologies to @Yeratel84, I was defending myself. But don't blame your headlights, the track edges could clearly be seen.
 
Finished 4th in class after being 7th for most of the race but others misfortunes in front allowed me to take the positions, used manual gears for the first time properly in my racing career on any game, still disappointing to still be a bit of the pace but found a second on my qualifying time towards the end of the race after my last stop which was fantastic, it's just I was so far behind as I had 3 crashes in the first hour and probably would of still finished 4th without the accidents around a lap down on the GT-O lead.
 
Going outside Orama at the kink was awesome, I have to thank him for giving me the space. @raceorama123432, make sure you get a video of it ;)
No point in causing a wreck you were on new tyres. If I hadn't crashed twice after my final due stop I would have passed you when you stopped again. But you would have had much newer tyres, caught, and passed me again. Got bad lag in the final 30 minutes. Almost all of the GT-P cars were lagging (PD servers fault) and when Joe was lapping me for the second to last time I got damage from it. Tried to continue but was rear ended by Furi. Last 4 laps were 15 seconds off the pace.

Damn that means I only needed one more lap...
 
I was on grass near enough trying to avoid Plux. But meh, live to fight another day and stop this rotten luck...
 
Probably the first time Furi unlapped me during a race... Tyres were dead.


Early 1st stop thanks to damage just before pit in. Got onto the grass slightly and fishtailed and just tapped the wall but gave me right front damage.

Have to do an hour on the next set of tyres and I'm set well for an easy stroll to 2nd after my final stop.

But Joe gets caught up in a pileup and suddenly I'm in the lead with a respectable gap but held on to win for the 2nd time this season.

Think this is the 2nd/3rd win Joe has lost thanks to misfortune in the final 40mins or so.


Furi / Plux incident is a racing incident. Unfortunate that the 1 wheel on the grass causes Plux to lose it.

Not the best photos (needs more exposure) but I give 50/50 blame with both being aggressive.

My race by the way.
