Had to leave room A was catching jammy and madmax soon as I got withing a second they started lagging and warping forward and backwards thought was better to leave than ruin a race

Also noticed my lap clock was moving at a slow rate may have been Fps issues

 

[GTP_Dutchy]

What a disappointment. !st WW race for me, 1st time 2 rooms, 1st time Qualified on pole position. But had to quit due to visibility issues.

 

[jammy21]

Yeah I noted something was warpping to me also few times during the race.

[Mini Stiggy]

Good race guys. It seemed I was a little faster at the beginning of my stints, and Bart was a little faster at the end. I'm surprised I didn't have any mistakes. Looking forward to the EU race.

 

[Animera]

Apologies to GTP_Vipond and GTP_Jammy who both got affected by my bad pit exit.
I had some good fun between my mistakes so thanks for that.
Footage of some of the racing to follow.

Sorry to hear these, guys, but I applaud you for making the decisions you did. 👍

Thanks lukas

It's annoying but it's part of the game and we all have issues with a connection or lag from time to time it's making that call to leave before you ruin anyone's race

 

[Meister Fetz]

That was for sure the hardest online race I ever did! Tricky track and an unbelievable strong starter grid - One big avoidable mistake in the beginning of the race, but had real great fun in the 2nd stint with @Animera and @jammy21 all the way to the finish line 👍

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Looking at the replay it seems that I used more fuel than anyone and wore out my front tires faster than everyone else, which is interesting. Probably explains why I was fast at the start of my stints, and slow at the end.

 

[Bleached]

Good race everyone! Had some good laps trading tenths with @Gravitron @Animera @Meister Fetz

Sorry if I had an unsafe return to track - should have ghosted sooner.

 

[GTP_Dutchy]

Sorry to hear these, guys, but I applaud you for making the decisions you did. 👍

It was the right thing to do. I could have ruined the races of 3 guys.

Anyway don't get me wrong. They will not get rid of me that easily if I can see everyone on Wednesday It will become a revenge from the nerd thing now

 

[Animera]

Some footage of the WW race.

 

[GTP_Dutchy]

In retrospect I shouldn't even have done the formation lap. I heard @RoeszaGT backed out to the last place because of the same visibility issues and he didn't want to spoil my race. So as I already screwed his race before it started. My sincere apologies for that! next time I'll retire straight away.

 

[Don Mejillone]

What a treat to race against Sjaak, our racing days go back to the last century
when online gaming was not possible yet !
We drove with six guys once a week and Sjaak had to dive 140 km (around 87 miles) back and forth after his work to join us, we drove in an old barn with 6 playseats and we built a bar () in the barn ! For years we did, the good old day's... 👍

Not so nice is the fact that I don't see Sjaak that much at the online races at GTPlanet lately (that's too bad by the way !) and I thought I would have a chance to beat him, but as before he beat me !

Congratulations on your victory in the B room last night 👍

 

[RoeszaGT]

No need for apologies @GTP_Dutchy that was not your fault. I was going to stop after the first racelap but when I saw you left the room just before I was in the last turn I started my race. In the first lap I wanted to gain too much time and had a half spin between the tunnels but after that I had a great race and could climb up to 3rd place at the finish to complete an all Dutchy podium with @Sjaak as winner and @Don Mejillone as second. See you guys on Wednesday.

 

[Don Mejillone]

Next wednesday I have to work so no racing for me that night

Thanks Ruud,nice words,always a pleasure to see you and the old friends on track 👍

I took some pics from the B-room and tried to capture all participants.

Thanks again Al for the hosting and combo choice.👍

 

[RoeszaGT]

@Sjaak it looks like chrome was the colour to use for a good Qualy

 

[Gravitron]

Awesome win in the A room, Joe (@Mini Stiggy)! Nice to see you back @Sjaak and winning in the B room. 👍

Congrats on the podiums @PASM, me , @Don Mejillone, and @RoeszaGT.

Here's your anthem for your first win with us:




Here's a couple pics from me, not nearly as cool as @Sjaak's.

 

[Meister Fetz]

Looking at the finishing times, that was the perfect room split 👍👍👍

 

[Allibubba99]

A big shout out to @GTP_Dutchy (Kevin), even though he managed to get pole position he retired from the race after the formation lap because others could not see him. Sorry you had issues, a very respectful decision on your part!!!! 👍👍

Al

 

[GTP_Dutchy]

My golden chrome paintjob is absolutely hideous. Keep using to distract everyone and also I don't have to look at it during these races

[Meister Fetz]

Hi Al @Allibubba99 - not that I do really care about it, but I'm at D2G since monday and still D2S on the register board for today's race
Looks like it's getting a tough one again 👍👍 Really looking forward to that race tonight!!

 

[Gravitron]

I'll try to update those today, Stefan.

 

[Meister Fetz]

It's not that important to me, Lucas... Does it change automatically, if i just reregister now? I'll just try

EDIT: plus registered in reserve for the NA - because I love this one so much - I might show up after 3-4 hours of sleep between the races

 

[Gravitron]

No, it's manual and we haven't done it for a few weeks.
