The Grid - 1-Joaosoarescso, 2-Brewguy, 3-Thorin Cain, 4-danbojte, 5-OdeFinn.
A better start all round this time, everyone get away safely. Joaosoarescso, Thorin and danbojte starting on the Medium compound tyre this race.
Thorin gets the jump on Brewguy and danbojte has to back off a little going into turn 1, allowing OdeFinn to move ahead.
Brewguy looses rear grip and goes off in the S Curves allowing OdeFinn and danbojte to move up the places.
Danbojte runs a little wide on exit to Spoon and touches the curb and grass, causing a spin. Brewguy takes advantage and comes past on the back straight...
...Then goes deep into the Casino Triangle. Danbojte goes back past to 4th.
Thorin makes a mistake at the hairpin, allowing Odefinn to close in, then puts a wheel on the grass in turn 12 and spins out. OdeFinn luckily misses the spinning Thorin by inches and goes by to 2nd place.
On the next lap, Thorin goes into Degner a little too hot and slides a bit, loosing momentum for the second turn. Danbojte gets a good exit to Degner 2 and passed Thorin on the straight before the hairpin.
The first driver to pit is Joaosoarescso. This allows OdeFinn, danbojte and Thorin to move ahead, relegating himself back to 4th.
Brewguy pits too and is in that much a rush to get back on track he doesn't allow the front wheelmen and lollipop guy to clear the car first.
OdeFinn makes his stop on the next lap and danbojte and Joaosoarescso go by.
Thorin makes his stop on the same lap. All clear
And danbojte stops one lap later allowing joaosoarescso and OdeFinn to move back ahead to 1st and 2nd.
Joaosoarecso puts a wheel on the grass in the braking zone to turn 1 and runs deep and wide into the sand. Odefinn takes advantage of the mistake to lead the race. With joaosoarescso in second and danbojte not too far behind in 3rd.
OdeFinn opens up a big gap over the two in the next two laps. And on the final lap danbojte smells blood.
After a few minor hiccups by Joaosoarescso danbojte goes up the inside in Degner 2 and takes 2nd place.
The race ends with Odefinn from danbojte and joasoarescso followed quite a bit behind by Thorin Cain. Brewguy, after spinning out in 130R and going for a beer, ends the race in the pits 3laps down.
After the race the stewards got involved and OdeFinn was docked two places for an indiscretion.

You'll use the three Nissans. 👍
I'm not so great on Suzuka, but it really is one of the best tracks in GT6, in my opinion, due to the layout and difficulty level. Congrats 
Wasn't like this before
