I really feel for you mole.. Good to see that you're keeping your temper under control.. But I bet you was pretty upset just when it happened.. I thought to my self "Oh,, maaaan.. I really feel for you buddy" durign the race when I saw that you got DC'd.
Really sad to Josh go as well.
Well, D2 drivers probably don't mind though. Since Ravellron (Where the **** was he??) did not show, winner in D2 will recieve points for 5th overall since no one that DC'd completed at least 85% of the race (I guess), and all other GT300's will move up the point scale accordingly.
Yep, me and Remy pulled a 1-2 finish. We had a startegy worked out pre race, but it was erased when I went of after 8! turns.. Had to let the whole field pass before I could rejoin.. So decided to tweak my strategy a bit.
I had far from a perfect race, but me and Remy found eachother on the track a while in to the race, so we worked together for 15 laps or so to pull a decent gap.. When I did my last pit stop, the AI told me to refule 26 litres.. I was like: "WTF!?!?".. Had 13 laps to go, and a decent amount of fuel in my car already.. But since I had a good shot at the win, I decided not to put anything on the line, the pack was still pretty close to eachother, and if I rn out of fuel, I would've probably be passed by the whole field.. Did not want that to happend.. I'm sure you guys know what goes on in your head at that point.. Only seconds to decide what to do.. So I had to sit in the pits for quite some extra time, and because of that, Remy passed me, and NEPALII caught up.. NEPALII then cought me up on my 2nd lap. But since I knew I had better tires, I decided to let him pass me..
And by doing this, I was hoping to save my own tires, and at the same time give Remy a few extra seconds..
Well, on our (Me and NEPALII) way towards Casio Chicane, I was up his rear.. Decided to put a bit of pressure, so decided to brake side by side, forcing him to take a wide line thru the chicane, loosing us some time, and gaining remy some (At this point, I guess Remy was 10 seconds ahead).
But exactly when I pull out to start to brake, NEPALIIs car "jumps" 20 ft forward.. And all of a sudden, I found my self going way to fast since I did no longer was even close to be alongside.. I did manage to reduce my speed by quite a lot, and would've made the inside.. Problem was that he (obviously) reached the turn in point before me due to the "jump".. So I had no where to go. The contact was minor, and I really hoped it would'nt have caused him any damage. But apperntly, it did.
Well, that aside, me and NEPALII had a few good laps battling eachother, but when his tires eventually got worn, and my tires ws still in good shape, I decided to pull away in the first sector.. No luck.. The tryed again, and this time I got away..
So I had 12 seconds to catch to reach Remy.. 6 laps left.. 2 seconds a lap.. to gain.. on Remy... Hmm.. Ok, I knew he had worse tires that me, and more ballast.. So I dd not see t as impossible.. ANd by the end of lap 45, I was 4 seconds behind.. He was driving on ice.. And I was able to pass comming out of casio on the last lap..
That's that. 👍
How did D2 come out?
Unfortunately, GT5 has very sensitive mechanical damage. A little tap, and bam, you get damage. It slowed me down quite a lot, and made me wear out the tyres more. Without the damage I probably would have kept up and maybe who knows win
