i wish i had a replay of the race, who was the black supra? he must have disappeared from the top after a while? since i forgot him? ^^
Nice pic sumo
only missing GTP_Racing, i guess he was ahead?
That was me
. Had a decent start with a 5th place qualifying lap. Moved up to 3rd during the first or second lap in part because of a not so clean pass on xNikodemusx (I think, and sorry if so). Held third for about two or three laps. A pack of three caught up to me, got a very slight bump from 4th that put me wide and the whole pack passed me putting me in 6th. I stayed in 6th for the next ten laps or so in close pursuit of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place pack.
Edit:
Just watched the replay. Sorry Niko! In the last corner on the first lap I was attempting to go inside on you. I'm guessing you didn't see me because you turned inside and almost ran me into the pit haha. That's how I ended up swerving, clipping some grass, and drifting right in front of you to cut you off. So sorry. That was too careless of me. Also, I was in 4th place up until about lap 17 or 18 when I pitted. I think my pitting strategy (or lack thereof) killed me lol.
At this point I had a few really good battles, but it all fell apart when my tires went. I probably should have pitted earlier. I was waiting for the pack I was casing to pit though. I messed up my pit entry and crashed a bit haha. That put me out of reach of the pack I was chasing and Miizzoo caught me.
Miizzoo and I had a good battle for three laps we were exchanging position. There were a few corners where my braking wasn't the best and he would gain a lot of time on me (the first and last corners mainly), and that's where he made his move. I was able to reclaim position from him in the technical section, where I made very clean passes with no contact.
I have a question actually. I was probably just driving too slow, but several times I was passed on the inside with a lot of contact (late braking, wedging themselves in and pushing me outside to make the pass). The passing cars were probably faster than me on the corner where they made the pass. In such a case, am I in the wrong for sticking to the racing line and blocking them from passing in the corner?
I lost one more position on the last lap to put me in 8th I think. Great race with great drivers. Thanks to everyone.
PS: Am I able to switch cars at this point? I'd like to go with an AWD like the 3000GT or Skyline. The original post doesn't say you have to use the same car for the entire season (although I get the feeling that's what was intended).
