Looks like a mixed grid tonight, eh?

 

[IforceV8]

I thought the mixed grid idea was dead.

I thought the mixed grid idea was dead.

There are only 15 cars total tonight, so why not?

 

[will-i-am]

Plus Majik might not make it , so possible 14. Stay mixed.

Congrats and good luck Majik.

we should try a test race before pp check to see if the sony interweb thingy will work.

Sorry guys! I missed it but I had to pick up my friend from his DJ gig and I couldn't make it back in time.

Now he's gotta make it up to you for making you miss the race.

 

[CSLACR]

Well that was weird, and awesomely lucky timing.
Crossed the line for the win, DC'd within 5 seconds after.

Couldn't stay in the room after that, don't know why though.

Pretty good race, most everyone took mediums for the second stint, so there was some good action after my pulling away towards lap 10, came out with mediums on lap 26 over 10 seconds behind, drove like a madman, turned a coveted (by me) 1:59.9xx with some boost from Graham's draft.
Don't know the total times or finishing order yet, but Aliens should have been within 10-12 seconds still at the line, great job with the extra weight.👍

 

[IforceV8]

That was close Dom.I saw you driver pop-up saying you won and then you were gone from the room.

 

[CSLACR]

We'll just pretend my engine blew up after the line, big fire, etc.

The replay show you car go dead in the middle of the last turn and off into the sand-then teleport back on the track to cross the line

 

[CSLACR]

GF decided to watch videos all race long apparently.
Really lucky it wasn't worse on a couple levels knowing that.

Same for me.

Mine was too, that's why I had the DC right before race start. I think she was pissed cause I asked her not to use the internet while I raced.

Race
Got a nice jump on BORTECH going into turn 1 but got sideways on exit which allowed PLC, BORTECH and TRAJIKONE to overtake me into turn 2. Overtook TRAJIKONE into turn 1 on the next lap. Got a good run out of turn 6 on BORTECH heading to the hairpin but he blocked right so I went left and he came back across but I was already there and as we braked our cars touched and he went into the sand trap. Wasn't intentional of course but he came out second best.
So I headed off after PLC and we had a good battle for a few laps but I got a better run out of the hairpin and over took him in the run up to Schumacher S. from there on I open the gap to win.

Managed to get passed the GT300 cars ok who gave me plenty if room. Sometimes I had to guess a way passed but most knew what to do. I came upto Aleins I think. ( RX7 ) who was in a 3way battle but the frame rate dropped pretty bad and I was slow for a few turns. Hope I didn't get in the way there.
With a few laps to go I seen graham Turismo not far away who was in 3rd and I wanted that that position. Got a run on him down the back straight u thought I could get passed but I guessed the wrong side and did a 360 in the braking zone but didn't hit him and crossed the line what I thought was 4th but turned out to be 3rd thanks to CSL D/C as he crossed the line.

Really? Mine usually knows better.
We've talked about it, after all.

You got lucky with that move since you had no business getting in that position in the first place.GT was making up time in chunks when sailworkman and then you both got in the middle of a race for 2nd in GT300.Neither GT500 car had anything to gain by getting in the middle of that.After looking at the replay I dont know how you didnt wipe GT out completely.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

True. But I was confident I wouldn't hit him.

Can someone who was in the race, watch back the fastest laps and make sure they are CLEAN laps, judge it as you would a qualifying lap.
Also the same in the gt300 race

Thanks

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Oops I didn't do that. I just got the Lap times from the last lap of the race. They need to be checked.

This x1000.

It just further reaffirms my pre-season decision to switch to GT300 so I'm not racing with a bunch of hotheads every week. I was making up tons of time on Aliens who I assume was on weak tires. Admittedly I probably wasn't going to catch him regardless after the few small mistakes I made in the last couple laps but their interfering for positions that didn't matter may very well have ruined my shot at 2nd. I pretty much know for a fact that I've got a better line with my car through the chicane than Aliens did and I may have had a run on him in or exiting the final corner had my chicane not been compromised by unnecessary greed.

If plc's fastest lap was dirty, who had the 4th fastest lap and was it clean? If not then 6th etc

You weren't going to pass him. Sail probably did you a favor so you could get a slip stream.

Sorry once again. Didn't mean to scare you.

 

[IforceV8]

PLC is still 3rd on that list.

 

[twistedfirework]

I understand that. What I am trying to get us every possibility until a decision is made on how to award the points.
If only your fastest lap counts, then discard the dirty laps, who would be third?
