Great race guys.
@Bart - Sorry for the partial block as I came out of the pits, didn't realise it was you, thought it was Paul behind me.

Not at all, not to worry about it. I had no disadvantage whatsoever and you were on fresh tires and extending the gap rapidly. I was on 25+ laps old tires.
Good race guys 👍

Congrats on the win Bart!
Mohit and Ren on the podium.
Was hoping to hold my third place with around 10 laps to go but made some mistakes overdoing the tyres. Maybe next time.

Looks like I'm the only steward signed up for tonight, but I won't make it to the lounge until at least 25min before quali starts, so feel free to open the main lounge, whoever gets there first. Hopefully we can end up with at least 6. 👍
I'd be up for Greg's idea of doing a short huck around Top Gear afterward.

Good fun tonight. I didn't get any practice with this car and track 
(a problem for me if the TT and race aren't the same), so I had some... issues in the final corner
. Hopefully it wasn't too distracting. I had a good time though. Had I kept it together for a few more laps I think I could have hung with Lucas, Lefty, and Daniel for a bit.
The TGTT was also quite a bit of fun. As Lucas can attest, I might have been rather loose in interpreting the WRS rules
. I imagine I'll be on probation next week

Well, that worked out perfectly! 6 showed up and we had great fun! 
I gave Greg some hell near the start...fearing Mohit's first quali hotlap was going to catch up to
my outlap, I was a bit too close following Greg, and avoiding his draft and checking the map meant
I had nervous hotlaps. Then let Greg by shortly after the start of the race, and tried to battle back
from there, but he didn't make it easy. Lefty, Daniel, and I had a great Blue Car Battle which lasted through
the pitstop, and culminated in a turn 1 where I passed Lefty inside after draft, followed by him stealing
it back coming out of turn 1. Great move, Lefty! 👍 DanielBob had some good pace as well.
Congrats Bart for the win, and glad you made it, we needed ya.
Nice work battling him, Mohit, it looked quite close for the majority of the race.
Nice (virtually) racing you today, Ren!
You got me this time!

track like that, during a fun cool-down race...shenanigans are expected.
Glad we ran that.

Nah, Greg, in the the TGTT race you weren't out of line at all. A wide openThe TGTT was also quite a bit of fun. As Lucas can attest, I might have been rather loose in interpreting the WRS rules

Glad you guys had an official race. I took a walk with the family and then spent 3 hours shaving a whopping 0.019 off my academy time.
At least i got to do this:
I should be in for next week.
That was hilarious
! It looked like the episode of Top Gear when Jeremy and Richard were in charge of doing stunts for a movie. I guess the new physics model isn't quite perfect.I was just kidding.
I was quite obviously cheating! Especially at the hammerhead on the last lap. That was a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll get to grab some pictures from the replay later today.

Some photos from the Suzuka race:
Bart taking the green flag.
This turned out to be a good track for a small field
Me battling it out with the big boys (for a lap or two)
The "Blue Car Battle" takes shape.
I don't think this is the most efficient line through the penultimate turn.
But it is how I spent most of my race
The aliens (Bart and Mohit) battle it out for the lead.

Highlights from the First (?):
WRS PARODY RACE 
(Get it?)
What is GTP Parody Racing? This picture pretty much defines it.
Some of us (ahem) took a bit of liberty with the rules like here,
or here.
There were "occasional" spins.
Some decided it was more fun just to watch.
Bart decided he wasn't a big fan of the layout, so he took matters into his own hands.
I found a much quicker way to take the Hammerhead,
but my new found speed was met with vigilante justice.
In the end, I reversed across the line for an impressive 4th place out of five participants in the inaugural WRS Parody race.
Good times
(Sorry for the double post, but I wanted the pictures as a separate post)
