Never done one of these races before.
GT2 B/S Lobby 134pts EMEA
Didn't qualify so started P16 in the AMG avoided the first banking carnage and settled in to 9th
By lap to we were two packs of 3 cars and I chose to follow the guy who understood that we needed to take the high line in the banking.
Last lap it was our pack of 3. In the last sector split I used my nitro as I hadn't used any all race.
That's me, one (won) and done
.
I am very please with 2 wins now in each round!
One word of warning it will slightly affect your SR as you can't always avoid the closing speed differential sometimes (no damage) so the contact can be a little heavy.
Good luck to all who are doing this one.

Like this.
Seems like the car in front was trying to get me into trouble? Why else would he lift off the throttle?
And he did this multiple times.

That's really strange.
Don't know if it was to get you in to trouble but definitely looked like a tactic to put more distance between you.

Just joined the 3pm race in the AMG. Typing this while sitting out qualifying as in this and Nurburgring 24hr 3 lap races qualifying is basically almost like doing the race a second time.
Seeing quite a few Pagani Huayra but still 75% AMG in my race. I am hoping to avoid touching anyone and gain places by normal drafting. Starting at the back gives you a lot of opportunity to do that!
I would even be happy with a top 6 or top 8 finish if there is a breakaway group at the front, as long as I don't dent my SR for the rest of the season! It's been harder to improve SR more recently it seems.
Edit: Result - I was 1st for a bit, finished 6th.
1 - huayra
2-6 - AMG
7 - Aventador
8,9,10 - huayra
Looks like the huayra is doing better now, but I'm in a low split so take it with a pinch of salt!

Qualified 4th, finished 5th and picked up 137pts. I'm glad I used my pad instead of my wheel for this because there's no way I'd survive the T1 clusterfrag . Unfortunately my draft buddy abandoned me at the end of lap 2 because they thought there was a mandatory stop.

First go, used the R34. Whoops. Managed to finish 8th after the first corner turned into a pinball machine. 10th had front and rear damage, all four wheels damaged and still managed to catch up to myself and the Huayra in 9th even though we were bump drafting the whole time.
Second go, used the AMG and started 8th. Was in the lead group on lap 3 before an RX-7 got pitted coming out of the first corner on lap 3, then veered across and took out the guy I was following. Had to use 3/4 of my boost to try and catch up to the group which I didn't really do so I could only manage 5th. Still better than just about any SSRX race I've ever done.

Blistering barnicles this race was so bizarre!!! Round 2 and they choose SS Route X, ok here we go!
Qualified 6th finished 7th in this wacky race of races. END of story, thank you goodnight!
P.S The whole race was clusterfudge of crashes and loner racing! I need Round 3, Monza will be more fun!
