I quit after one lap cause I'm just too tired, gonna take a nap didn't even know the race was happening until today so I wasn't prepared anyway.

Let's see, what didn't go wrong today? Couldn't get the car set up, ran out of talent halfway through the first lap, ended up like 9th overall with ten minutes to go and disconnected. At least I got a good haul of points out of it due to the lack of starters.

Yeah, I'd pushed like hell to catch back up with you after my 20 second lap10 treasure hunting expedition on schumacher beach. Then I saw you just wander out into a field and pop out of existence.
Got down to 1'57.000 and lots of 1'57.1's while I was coming back, got 2nd with your d/c... then threw it all away with a math error at the end of my 4th stint, about an 1hour and 40min in. I'd forgotten about the formation lap when I used my first two stints to calculate how much fuel I'd need to run 12 laps (that's all I could get out of the tires) but I came up 3/4 of a lap short and had to do a 50mph walk of shame from Ford Kurve aaaaalll the way around.
Cost me over a minute
No idea where I actually finished since after that I was so gutted I just went on auto-pilot waiting for the checker. Gutted!
Big 👍 to everyone that took the afternoon away from footie. Enjoy the July break and come back refreshed!
I'll have the results up later tonight. I'm also going to purge anyone that signed up but didn't run a race yet. So if you're one of those people you'll have to sign up again to take part in the 2nd half.

Results are up
Big hand to Daniel Page and Sebastian Loeb for going flag-to-flag for the full 7 bonus
Wii : when looking at the replay you were only 10s behind Remy when GT5 gave up on you... and I was 15s behind you. Then when I ran out of fuel I was only 20s back from Remy.
so close to giving him a proper run down. Eh, and to top it off Audi Sport GT goes 1-2
p.s. Oh, a big mean snake was spotted in the Virginia countryside recently.

1'46's are about right for a steady pace. Turned a few laps a few weeks ago and that seemed to be the ideal pace for keeping your tires alive. Will have a practice room up later if anybody else is up for joining.
Not happy about CALM starting just as I'm picking up my first car tomorrow though..
