This stragegy works and it's within the rules but I have to say I absolutely hated when you did that to me last season! I had an itch to pass you with 2 wheels on the grass on the Indianapolis straight but almost gave myself a heartattack when I tried it. That said I would go for it on the last lap every time.

You happy with the 2 minute penalty? lol.... Means nothing to me (afaik in my replay it still says jakegirard p1 LOL) but i assume you feel vindicated, yes? I hope somebody got something positive out of the whole nonsensical penalty thing.
 
In hindsight lucky.......Overtaking on the Indianapolis straight is notoriously difficult especially if the person being passed stays in the middle of the road. And for someone who had championship aspirations it was a move that 100% risky.

heres a little trick i learned. La Sarthe has 3 mulsannes straights and 1 indianapolis straight. In order to actaully pull away from someone with the idiotic draft system in place you MUST let them pass you on the 2nd Mulsanne. Then you simply draft past them on the third mulssane. Then simply drive down the middle of the road on Indianapolis and it is impossible for the person to pass you back if you do that. Now your leading them into indinapolis corner and arnage and the porsche curves where you can make a gap where theyll suffer from the aerodynamic wash of your car. now they cant draft you on the first mulsanne stright and youve pulled away


See thats smarts at La Sarthe. I do it all the time.

i was already frustrated due to him ramming into me on Mulsannes , he was in my draft then he pulled out to pass but clipped my right read causing damage that what got me going to start with
 
oooh. he tried to pass you in indianapolis. I though it was the other way around sorry.

Passing on the indianapolis straight is silly considering gtheres 4 other strights that are 10x safer to pass on. I feel sorry for you lucky. you got the short end of the stick. next time jsut take the inside and make him take the outside line.

it was the other way around

Please don't get upset with Atlas. He would called you and others out even if he won the race. It wasn't personal man. You taking it that way, it's not. I gotten penalties early in my racing career and subject to getting them again. It's part of the gig. Accidents and mistakes happen.

In the end you are judged by Jav. He handed out the penalties.

Heck I had one I reported early and he denied. Did I agree, nope. I do however understand and respect he has final say.
 
I am proud to announce:

If I capture the win, pole, and fast lap. I still couldn't catch Atlas. Hahahah

So Magz you're my focus.
 
Is the room still up?
I'll drop by in about an hour!

Anything under 55's should be pretty competitive...
 
Sorry guys, as much as I love this track, I can't make it this weekend. Good luck!

Also, when exactly will season 3 start?

Guys, Rich is online!

Yeah man :D

Can I get a quick one paragraph summary of the season and can I still race before it's over? The schedule seems conflicting with the title. When have the races been happening?
 
I'll probably get the room going earlier than usual to get some practice in.

Rich you are more than welcome to join us tonight!
 
Ok, well I'll need to bang out some homework, luckily I found out about this early in the day so I have time to do it, I will try and probably make it. Just forgive me if I make any silly errors it's been months since I've raced! (about 4 or 5 even!) I'll take it very conservative too since I don't want to ruin anybodys championship by me showing up for a one-off race. No corner diving for me :P
