I forgot how much the grip levels differe between free run and racing 
And then I was stuck behind a Corvette for most of the race.

So many bad drivers out there. Not punters, just very bad drivers that mess up your race.

Yeah this is why we decided to delay the start of the Evora race by 30 seconds, so that would give the slower Tuned cars a chance to get really far up the road and we would only catch them if they were really really bad...and if they are usually that slow then we pass them and don't see them again. No offence intended towards slower drivers, it probably suits them just as much to avoid us as it does us them.
You can tell if an event is region-locked or International when you go to the main Online Events screen, under each event in the list there is a small description. "World Competition Event" etc means it is open to all regions, otherwise assume that it will only be users from your region: NTSC or PAL etc
Timo, things start to get busy around 21:00 GMT when the fantastic Thunder & Lightning squad come and join the afternoon/evening regulars...and then there's the late night squad where secretly we have some of the most intense races
BTW Timo...are you just getting involved in the races so you can whip our asses in the hotlap competition?
HyperDan, I'm more than happy to set it up but I will still need to forward the info to you so that you can edit the first post, is that cool? Or do you want me to just start a post mid-thread and then you can link to the post from the first page?
All the best

Maz, Just looking for a good challenge..And btw, I think the TT leaderboard could be done as a new thread. There's plenty of room for threads...
Joining @ 04 👍
edit: ah, Dan got you your answer..
I think a new thread would be better myself, be easier for Maz to sort through the times.
Edit,
I got disconnected in the XX:04 race.

OK the hotlap thread is up, any suggestions and improvements will be welcome...I'm sure my html standard is way below that of someone required to maintain such a thing but do bear with me, I'll do my best
Maybe you can save the hotlapping for when the race is not at peak time!

Nice work there buddy. 👍 Looks great.
Makes sense to race @ peak time and hotlap another. Linked it to the 1st post. Sort out the URL tomorrow.

Sorry Maz. I know you break in the midle of the first corner. Forgot it. Thanks for a close race.
More T&Ls comming in now - supporting your great cup.

Massive MASSIVE apology to GTP_Bollocks. You ghosted through me and I really didn't know where to go, add that to oversterr+sixaxis issues in that last corner and I totally wiped you out. I'm really sorry...I waited on the straight but you'd already given up. Very sorry.
Also, to those who don't race in this event very regularly, just a word of advice on etiquette. If you bump someone...repeatedly...please send an apology so that we know it wasn't intentional. Also, weaving in front of another car on the straights to lose draft is not considered gentlemanly or sportsmanlike behaviour.
Thank you, all the best

Had a very good race against you until I touched the grass a bit coming out of 130R and had to come to a complete standstill in front of the tire wall @ casio

Yeah mate you were fantastic! I actually took my eye off the ball when you went off which is why I ruined Bollox's race

Some lag - but no DC.
Just thought I'd pop in and apologise to hyperUK - and to everyone else in advance - because I literally bought the Evora 3 minutes before the xx34 race I just spent half the time going off the track and accidentally finding myself in the wrong gear.
It may be some time before I'm up to speed, lol. Thanks for waiting for me though Hyper - I hung behind you as long as I could to try and pick up the lines. I'm rubbish at Suzuka at the best of times!

That was the last race for me for this evening. Made the same stupid mistake at Spoon 3 laps in a row so I gave up.
I recorded the race, but I just watched it on my photo camera and I forgot to zoom in on the screen
