That was incredible.
I didn't watch the whole thing but this is what I learned:
Bart can go through the uphill left in s3 faster than humanly possible
Steve is great defensive driver. Great job on protecting inside on entry AND exit from the hairpin (first time I saw it in the WW race from Paul (bayz0007))
You guys are really good

That was a lot of fun. Qualified 8th, finished 6th. Great battles with Jtv, Dutchy and Otaku. Kevin pulled a crazy inside pass on me on the first corner.
Another fruitful WRS late night race

EU Race:- Well done to GhostDriver for the win, it looked like a 4 car freight train up front and everyone else for a great race overall.
The result didn't happen for me in the race but I enjoyed it all the same - I had some great battles with Roamer2629, bayz0007, Roesza, amongst others.
After setting high 39s in practice, I had a good feeling about the race and went into qualifying expecting a reasonable slot but couldn't put together a good lap between the 6mins allowed.
Ended up starting in 9th and, after a few laps, soon realised that passing opponents on Apricot Hill is down to people dropping off track rather than making passes such is the flowing,rhythmic nature of the track, so was racing mid-pack, unable to make a break-out but had some great racing - defence, attack, faster in some areas, slower in others but all-in-all, had a good race. Apologies to the couple of racers I slightly bumped entering the hairpin.
Bad luck on the disconnect Hasslemoff, watching the replay back was an eye-opener with the network 'editing' its own version of events!?!
Overall, another great race for me in the WRS and I'm looking forward to the next 1, thanks guys.

On that note, we are very close to not having the WW race for License to Overtake, simply because a lot of us are running the Nurburgring endurance races this weekend.
Only "Like" this post if you think you can make it on the normal time listed below, and we'll gauge interest before we put the thread public in about ~12hrs.

That was another outstanding race in the Eu lobby yesterday - had a real great battle with @Friday_GTRP over the whole race. watching the top 4 in the replay is just amazing!
I wish I could like your post @Gravitron , but I'm afraid there is no way for me to participate in the WW race next week...

Congrats @GTPGhost on the EU win. Thank you @skyline1683, @RS__96__oO, and @PASM for joining him and putting on one hell of a show!
@mr_lab_rat and I could have battled the entire time but I opted for safe and let Mike pull me, and threw in some bump-drafting for good measure
, and just kept an eye in the mirror on @MadMax's bright light blue Integra. 👍 Looks like that worked because we were able to *almost* match @Animera / @skyline1683's WW race pace. (but they were battling the whole race)
Despite my comments in the time trial thread (finding the TT annoying), this combo was selected with the online races in mind, and I'm glad Mike's car gave us some races to remember.

It sure surprised me to get rear-ended in the middle of the long straight. When you did it the third time I started thinking that it must be something you crazy Americans do
As far as this being "my car" most of you know that the combo was inspired by the Integra (and its little sister CRX) dominance in the Career Championship - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...reer-championship-next-event-23rd-nov.316571/. I felt some extra pressure from expectations to do well here.
I hope 3rd in D2 TT, great comeback from 12th to 4th in WW, and a win in NA race fulfilled your expectations. It sure exceeded mine

Sure, I guess rats have butts, too. 👍
I knew if Mike and I battled anywhere near the way Animera/skyline and Ghost/skyline/RS/Bart
did that we would just slow each other down. Might have been fun, but then I'd have to look at your crazy blue even more close-up.
And Lucas , I should have know you were bumpdrafting there when I was gaining on leader everywhere else than on straiths.

Thanks for reminding everyone to keep the language at PG level. I was shocked to find out how young some of the guys here are.
I'm not sure how much time we gained. I didn't know Lucas was saving energy for a strong push in the final laps so I drove defensively whenever I got in front. He is way more experienced so he knew it was going to come down to the final turn and drag/draft race to the finish line. And it sure did (0.034 margin).
