We had some fun around the pit stops but on track I couldn't keep up with the ballast weight and this track. It's just too many turns that I'm not good at so I can't get the most out of them and when I try I mess up. I had straight line on you guys but couldn't brake worth a damn.
One of the more fun races I’ve had. Too bad I got jacked by gts penalty system on the last lap.
and gave me a love tap braking for turn 1, which pushed me into Tim. While I hesitated a bit for Tim to get back on the track, we both got hit with a 6 second penalty. (Mopowr got 1 second) Because the penalty was so high I decided to try and let it run out before continuing. Tim didn't and just took off. 
The car felt fine so I kept going and only realized I had damage after I got passed a couple times. Then I realized it was slowing the car down, so I dove for the pits at the end of lap 15 to fix it.
Spent the rest of the race trying to catch @Moby45 and finally caught up and passed him with a couple laps to go, securing 3rd. Sadly Tim ran into a mechanical issue and wasn't able to finish or the race would have been his. 
We missed you bud hope to see you next week. @R1600Turbo and @Timlour need someone to apply the pressure!!! But we understand you had other prioritys this week!
How did the meeting with the new sponsors go? Also when are we going to be privy to the new sponsors and what they are bringing to the table?
One call to Motul and we're back on track.
Devastated really, I sat behind him for almost a quarter of a lap while he shed his penalty and got his bearings. (We talked and i was told all good on damage affecting the car) Only passed him after whitey ran him wide after we had gone past the pit entry the lap after the incident. When he pit 2 laps later I was barely ahead of him and didnt know he was pitting because of damage. I asked he said he felt his car was slow due to damage and I pit on the next lap. What should I have done differently (aside from not braking late, which I dont think is penalizable in and of itself)to avoid getting this 5 second penalty? Should I have followed him for 2 or 3 laps and waited to see or was I clear once he drove past the pit entrance an entire lap after the incident? The rule doesnt state as such but it is easily inferred that if the struck driver does not enter the pit after almost an entire lap after contact it could no longer be assumed the rule would still apply. I still pit early (the lap after him) took a light fuel load and ran stint 2 very long so i could have a short final stint.Incident reviews are completed and have been posted. I think it was a fair outcome.
Driver's Points Standings Updated and Ballast Tracker updated as well. As always - check my work. Thanks
Brands Hatch is next.
Also, anyone interested in testing? Let me know.
Thanks for racing in the series guys. You all make it worth the work it takes.
I understand there is alot going on and I appreciate all your efforts. The unfortunate thing is I was gaining on them regardless pulled in 1.2 seconds in the previous 3 laps. Probably by breaking late lol. Thank you
Really wish my copy of the replay wasnt corrupted. I had damage that I had repaired as well so no I would not have gained much if any advantage in that regard. I also followed whitey for 3 laps instead of running away on fresh tires due to an illegitimate bump dragging penalty he recieved from me. He organically shed that penalty as I followed him know that he didnt deserve it and I sure didnt. Just hurts to race for that long follow all the rules to the letter, radio confirm everything, even follow up when I noticed something different and then point it all out myself knowing I did everything I could, aside from stop racing for 3 laps, and still have 5 points taken from me. I think I'm just so upset due to the fact that the night the incident happened and all sides were present for discussion I was told it didnt seem there would be a reason for a penalty. I know I stuffed my foot in my mouth and said review it first, but I honestly believe it was a racing incident and could not have handled it nor would anyone else have handled it differently or better. Very disheartened. Watching replay now without fast forward or rewind will probably post again after viewing. Thank you regardless to the racing administrators and fellow racers I know this is a thankless job for the most part and typically no ones happy about it. I wish the field who was present could vote between no penalty, 5 second, or 30 lol. I'd take my chances 4 sure.
Did you let @Mopowr know in chat that you were pitting to repair damage?
I asked when I saw him pit early and when he said yes i pit the very next time by the pit. I was past pit entrance when he went in.
Also after incident "are you ok you need to pit, no car feels fine dont think its affecting it" Ensue long conversation about how certain areo damage can make car faster. I see him pit two laps later.
