[RACE] NR2003: 2014 GTPlanet Fantasy Series *That's A Wrap!*

Welp, guess my average NASCAR driving skills in Super Speedways have translated quite nicely to these series. Not really much happened to me, my driver spent quite a lot of time in the middle of the field. Happy about the 2nd place on the Concept standings though, managed to avoid the big crash (and Bayne practically killing himself).

Big congrats to Raven on the victory overall, you won that war of attrition.

By the by, great vídeo quality, the cars and track both looked great. Not to mention that the video's speed was perfectly adjusted. Top job, Nas. 👍

Thankyou!! ^.^ That's the quality I will push for for every race
 
Now that 2048 x 2048 templates are mandatory I'd say twice as good... added with everyone stepping it up with schemes I'd go as far as to say 3 times as good.

Bit:censored:in'. The liveries will look far smoother and less pixelated with the bigger picture size. Bring it on, then.

Also, when I do my professional-esque report, should I keep it under spoiler tags (because of those who haven't watched the vídeo yet)?
 
I wouldn't have any luck at all. But anyways congrats to Turbo_Snail on making the chase. Good luck to all 12 of our chase drivers. Can't wait to watch the chase races.

Manufacture points updated soon!
 
No point in posting my response in spoilers, nothing interesting ever happens.
 
Well I'm riding in the back of the bus bumpy ride. Congrats to the winners for the chase well done.

Great video Nascar very smooth and jussssssst beautiful 👍 good job

On another note yeah #48 Jimmie Johnson takes the win in Atlanta, fell bad for #24 Jeff Gordon crash again bad start for Jeff been is last year for Nascar. They found the stolen #44 car of Travis Kvapil that is all.

In a Word, Unpredictable

Talladega can be a fickle mistress. What she gives in one moment she can just as easily take away the next. This week's race is yet another example of how the super speedway can break a string of bad luck for some, while crushing the hopes and dreams of others.

Many hoping to get into the Chase found themselves out of luck by the end of the race, but luck was not an issue for race winner, @raven214. "I love this track because no two races are the same. You can't bet on anything. It's a constant chess match," he said.

When asked if luck is the most important thing at Talladega, he responded, "Well it doesn't hurt. Obviously you have to be in the right place at the right time and avoid the big one, but our team has been working day and night to improve the ALSA Dodge since getting accepted to the Concept Cup. We started fast at Daytona but then had a string of bad luck. It seemed like it was a different thing each week. We always try to just stay positive and keep digging. Hopefully our luck is turning around."

He had this to say about the day's "big one" involving next season's teammate @quietgirl, "It was only a matter of time. I didn't see exactly what happened because I was fortunate enough to be running up front. I just knew it was starting to stack up mid pack. After the yellow came out, my spotter said @quietgirl took a hard hit. I finally saw a replay and that was nasty. I checked on her in the infield care center after the race, and I'm just glad she's alright."

During Warm-Up
Crew Chief: This is probably the only race where tearing up the car is expected. Give it everything.
Angel: 10-4 I need to get up front immediately.
Spotter: I'll try up here to get you hooked up with anyone possible.
Angel: Anything to get to the front.
The Big One
Spotter: One high, several deep...They're wrecking behind you. Keep going. Caution is out.
Angel: That was intense. Can I take a breath now?
Spotter: Yeah.
Angel: Who all was in that?
Spotter: The 4, 69, 9, 87, 17, and others.
Angel: Quiet was in it? I now love Talladega.
Crew Chief: Let's try not to join them.
While in front
Angel: Engine temp is getting high. I need to get out from behind these guys.
Spotter: There's a pack. You might be able to feather the throttle for a bit until you get to pit stop.
Angel: I'll try. No promises. This is Phoenix deja vu.
Crew Chief: Take care of the engine. We'll remove some tape in the pit stop.
Angel: 10-4. Two tires and fill it up.
Crew Chief: Got it.
After Pit Stop
Angel: I've got nothing. Engine's down.
Spotter: I'll try to keep you as high as we can.
Crew Chief: We'll coast to the finish.
Angel: It's peaceful so we might be okay. I'll let you if my dials starting reading something abnormal.
Crew Chief: I'll try to think of something to help you out.
Angel: 10-4.
At the finish
Angel: Would you look at that. 6th.
Spotter: But the car is clean and you got a lot of points.
Crew Chief: Importantly enough, we can keep this car for next week. Just need a new engine, which will be fine.
Angel: Thanks to everyone for keeping me as far ahead as you could. We'll try again next week.
Reporter: Another brilliant top 10 finish. How was your first plate experience?
Angel: It was crazy at the beginning. Back and forth through the field the entire time. It was a massive game of chess for the most part.
Reporter: The big one happened just behind you. Seeing that in your mirror, how did you react?
Angel: I wasn't so concerned about what was going on behind me. My fear was someone in front or beside me getting tapped and pulling me for a loop.
Reporter: quietgirl was involved in that accident, and there was a bit of a cheer. Things haven't cleared up?
Angel: I'm not a forgiving person, and the more enemies I make, the less I care on what happens. It's a ruthless sport, and for karma to finally get her when it mattered most is about as beautiful as nature itself. The world is right at the moment.
Reporter: Another 6th place finish. That's three in a row. Is there something missing from getting you higher up there?
Angel: It's less and less "what's missing" and more of circumstance. At Phoenix, we took a gamble on tires and it backfired. At COTA, we just made it all work from being so far back and the laps just ran out. At New York, it was my first dirt experience and 6th was a miracle. Here, we had it up there and then we started overheating and I lost power. The team has been fantastic, and I hope I can continue to rack up the points, but I'm really looking forward to my new team next season. I'll be in Victory Lane at some point.

-Nas didn't say anything about the future TRD teammates battling for the lead there. :sly:

-Wow. I was so close to making that miracle happen. Then I literally ran out of gas.

-Also, no toyotas in chase = much sad

What was with the two cars out in front pulling from the rest of the pack? Didnt think that much of an advantage was possible with only two cars
