Yes, good race, I'll prepare a summary a little later on, busy day, just checking in.
I'd like to set a practice for Tuesday afternoon/night (my Wednesday morning), at Cape Ring Periphery. By the way we had a practice session of one (me) on Friday night, so this next practice won't go ahead until I hear confirmation of atleast 1 other person attending, we need two people so one can call witness to new records, and so forth.
This is probably the 2nd longest track, I recommend a 140 mph /220 kph transmission at this stage, haven't fully tested these cars, but the start finish straight is huge (excluding Circuit de la Sarthe which is an anomaly).

Well ~200 km/h | ~120 mp/h is about right, if you set it to that, you can't go too far wrong, but I customise it, so I know how larger each gear is, and some corners I know I want to be doing an exact speed, so, especially 3rd it seems, I want it to max out at something like 140/150/160 idk, it makes sense at the time.
Just saying, Cape Ring has a massive straight, so you may run short in top gear, keep an eye on it.

Woops, I did say my Wednesday morning didn't I? Well, we didn't get a flood of responses for that night.
Let's make it my Friday morning (your Thursday night), anyone interested? If I don't get replies saying 'yes I'm interested, I'll be there' then I won't run it. Last time I just forgot, but co-incidentally, no one said they were in, so please say so, I don't want to wake up early for an empty lounge like last time.

I went a bit picture crazy for Race A, Race B was a bit more conservative. I should go back and edit the race summary of the other two rounds as well, I am missing, I think Round 2 Race A, but otherwise have all other replays.
Here is Part 1, because these posts are massive, and I don't know how to resize the images, all in 16:9 instead of the horrible default 3:2 or something (in-game option to change it, Triangle > 16:9)
---
Once again, far from two perfect races, plenty of errors from me both in and out of the driving seat, one that affected both races was an incorrect lounge setting, whereby the fastest was not first, I started first and last (ultimately it was detrimental, cgg was last on the first race too
Race A proceeded well, Cgg was sent to last place on the grid, but was practically leading the race by the S/F straight of Lap 2, overtaking Quade after a small error running wide.
--
On Lap 2's 1st corner Cgg and I rammed, and as I was leading (possibly off the race line), Cgg correctly slowed for a moment to let me continue, excellent gentlemen racing. By the 3rd corner, several more rams, before we could ram a 3rd time in that corner, the computer, incorrectly imo, made me invisible as I was proceeding back onto the racing line after being pushed off of it, my nose was ahead, again Cgg behaved like a gentlemen racer, excellent stuff.
This allowed Quade to catch right up to us, and the most amazing thing happened at the corkscrew... I made a mistake and turned marginally too early (ghosted), but then amazingly, the computer considered cgg to be about to ram me (a ghost) and made him one too! Allowing Quade to be leading the race in no time!
As my ghost was reforming, Spatt had caught right up to me, being exactly where I was as my ghost was becoming solid, another moment and I would've had to pass him later on too.
--
Lap 3 seemed less eventful, until the final corner as Quade ran it wide! Again, the leader giving away the race, Cgg took the lead.
--
By Lap 4 the race for 1st was over, but the battle for 2nd was just beginning, with Quade, myself and Spatt all tightening up around the first corner.
--
On Lap 5 The race for 2nd came down to Quade and I, Spatt slowly being left behind.
--
The Final Lap came to a climax when Quade suffered from the same mistake I had made only 4 laps earlier! Cutting the corner slightly, and ghosting right at the corkscrew again, finishing the battle for 2nd.
Race A Finished.

Saturday morning... I think I could swing that, we'll see how we go with others, but I'm tentatively ok with swapping it to then... I think we need two polls, one for the day and one for the time (I'll be voting to make it later, like 10/11pm UK and 5/6pm US (9/10am AUS the next day, instead of currently 6:30am room opening 'blegh').
