Looks like an awesome start to the season for GT300, great stuff guys. 👍

What do we have for replays and GT500 results? I see Litchi went to bed during human hours, anybody else have some info?
Sucks to hear about the DC's, Rees, Josh.

That was a good race.. congratulation to the winers !!! 👍

For me, i had the weirdest incident on the 2nd lap of the sprint race, i was 2nd place taking the last turn, i looked back to see the other drivers position, but then when i released the "rear view button", my camera suddenly shifted to the right and stayed that way by 2 seconds !!!.. thats why i mised the turn and went off the track lol.. i went blind for a sec I never had encountered an issue like that.
maybe it was some sort of lag but was very weird and unespected.. well that was my experience but overall i enjoyed the race very much, and again, congrats to all the winerd 👍

No worries.
Interest permitting, we will always try to get everyone a race. I watched the div 2 race back last night, it was very, very clean. Well done to all involved.

Race Report

Feature

I'm new to this rolling start thing so I got caught out and lost 2 or 3 places >.<

I spent most of the first stint with Bifferino, Lemainman and OKERS8. It was a pleasure, good clean and fun racing.

I had lag on lap 10 or something, when slipping Biff I lagged randomly into the back of him and then got damage. I drove on to lap 17 with the damage and it was hard but I actually broke away from all them guys with it. I can't help but think what could have been if I had a clean car!

They got a big undercut on me as they were 2 stopping and I was on a 1 stopper so they overtook me I had 0 dirty air so I tried to save tyres but stay cool and fast.

My 1 stop put me in the lead at one point and I was going well but I was getting picked off. I was going to try and hold up Widdow as Apollo is my mate and I wanted him to win but the NSX is to fast here and my tyres were dying. Soon as Apollo came over to me I did some team orders and pulled off the track to let him go and it was very stupid as I lost so much time!

On the last lap Biffy ended up taking me on the 2nd to last corner as my tyres hit the cliff with 2 laps to go >.< If I didn't pull over like a tit for my mate I would have got the 4th!

Also, I found out after the race we can use mediums! I wonder where I would have finished if I had the faster tyre on...Podium chance went begging...!

Great racing to everyone and well played to the winner!

In the op of the main thread it says there will be no bonus points in all 3 categories. 👍

You're right, I'd forgotten. Only the fastest laps for the feature race are to count.

[Litchi]

yea yea, thx

 

[greggyb]

I had a great race, had some great battles aswell and I'm looking forward to the next race, I think people need to read up a bit more on the start procedure and other stuff, I saw a few people going off track quite a few times (exit of the last and first corners mainly) how many times can you do this before you get penalised? Also whoever was behind me in 9th for the feature race past me at the start before the line. Other than that I loved it!

 

[cicua]

In the op of the main thread it says there will be no bonus points in all 3 categories. 👍

That is also how I interpreted it.

But here is another question: Can you get bonus points for fastest lap in a D2 race? If it is faster than anything in the D1 race?

 

[OK8]

I saw many people go off the track at the exit of the first and last turns aswell. Someone should go through the replays.

If no-one has uploaded a replay yet, I could post mine.

Important


If while watching the replays, you notice someone leaving the track and gaining time/speed, then please fill out the report form. Let's get this stamped out NOW.
If you leave the track, it's ok , mistakes happen. Don't gain time. If you see someone gaining time you must report it.
If everyone spends a little time checking, we will stamp this out.

Wow Tony got 6th but had a 1:34.Xxx

First race of the season, and damn, what race it was. I don't know how long this luck is going to last, or whether I'm improving as a driver, but the last two races, PURE Daytona and this one, have just been brilliant. Seriously, I was buzzing for the whole race, but that feeling of pure adrenaline and intensity stuck with me throughout, and I love it Definitely given me some faith in GT5..

Anyway, enough of the deep stuff, pictures + report = jammy heaven.

Too many nerves in Qualifying ended up with me way off my PB and down in 10th, so I had to have a good strategy that would be as quick as possible. I went for a 2-stopper, with a pit on Lap 13 and another on Lap 26 for mediums, and this seemed to work very well in the end. I also made small adjustments to my tune, and somehow it went from oversteery to understeery It really affected the car more than I expected, I wasn't able to lap very fast, but I was really consistent, and it paid off.

The start mostly went off without a hitch, and one of my finer moments of the race was in the beginning, because I just kept overtaking, ducking through any gaps I could find.

After a small battle with Lynchy, I caught up to Stretch, mainman, and OK8, and fought my way through each one of them for several laps. I got trumped on the straights, especially by OK8 in his trollin' NSX, as the Lexus just doesn't have the acceleration, but I made it up on the corners. After a while, all 4 of us huddled together to keep warm, and traded positions in a thrilling, clean battle, and then Red decided to get involved! Fun stuff indeed, great work guys 👍

Eventually I got close to my first pitstop, and as my tires were fairly worn, I decided to calm the pace a little, not that I had a choice as the oversteer was frightening in the tight corners Our group of 5 was still together, just a little spread out, as I pitted on Lap 13.

OK8 pitted at the same time, and I made a lot of mistakes on the first lap out. Cue some serious time-gaining on the straight. He didn't need the draft, got right on my tail in an instant He got past me fairly easy, and really spread the gap on the straight, leaving me with no way of responding. He rode off into the distance, catching up to mainman as I was getting ready to deal with Lynchy.

Things really got interesting though when I found tony and FAK_EV1L limping round the track. Suddenly I was in 5th, not too far off the podium! Not bad considering I had started in 10th. With Stretch soon to overtake me, on Lap 25 I pitted again, but after putting mediums on the front, I accidentally pressed OK, resulting in mediums on the front and hards on the back, and I thought I had thrown the race away

Luckily the car was still quite grippy, just with a bit more understeer. I came out of the pits right behind a resurgent tony, who was on hards, but still quite hard to catch. I managed to get close to him as he fought past Lynchy, whose draft propelled me closer. I overtook Lynchy around the outside of Turn 2, giving me full rein to rope tony in, and after a small, but tough battle, I finally took him and pulled away at Turn 3 (I moment I will never be able to relive )

As tony got embroiled with Litchi, I noticed that Stretch was falling back rapidly due to his one-stop, and I figured I would catch up to him by the end of the last lap.. and I was right. I jumped into his rear mirror at Turn 5, but I couldn't pass him until the second-to-last corner, only just making it around the outside. He had my draft, but it wasn't enough to take 4th back off me..

A thoroughly exciting race all-in-all, clean from my POV as well, looking forward to more of this kind of stuff in the future. Sprint race report will come later, this took more than an hour to compile

Oh and a last note, I did end up going outside the kerb quite a few times on that last corner, but it was by no means intentional. The car was very unstable through that corner, if I turned it too far right it would slide a lot, so I just had to let it go as straight as possible through there. If anything, the distance past the kerb was minimal, and the time gained was minimal as well, so hopefully no harm done.

Sweet report. Glad the races went well overall for both classes. What a great start to things. Congrats to all!
