One thing i like to do is when i get to a suitable area on the track usually a straight, I try to look up at the map and see if there are any cars around me so i can start to mentally prepare for a pass.

I don't always follow the blue flag because in the game I feel that they fly it way too soon. Last night they did it a couple times to me and I looked back in the mirror and there was no one near me for at least 4 seconds. I do try to however move out of the way when they do come up to me I don't necessarily slow down because the speed difference is usually much greater and they can blow past you even at full throttle.

Good stuff @Herimopp89, thank you
 
I had no issues with lapped traffic last night, everyone was on top of it. There were a few times where I caught traffic in tight parts of the track and had to back off and be patient but the next straight I could get by with very little time lost.

Heck one time I actually got passed by a Lamborghini. I was on my second stint of my medium tires and was on fuel map 3 so was quite off my average pace and I wasn’t expecting a Lamborghini to be able to keep up still so wasn’t watching my mirrors because the next Lexus was 30 seconds back. I went into turn 2 low, felt a tap, moved wide and watched @THRASH blow by me and leave me in his dust. Was quite surprised, nice pace man!

Haha thanks. I was DIALED in last night trying to catch @TEX36 He disappeared and the way the grid showed on the left side of the screen I couldn’t see how far away he was. Great race last night!

Couple things I do want to say.

• I am very proud of @Nick Cannella being the only D4 driver out there is a tough task to hold. But there were a couple laps that you were in front of me and you pulled away. Doing these endurance races is basically like a 90 minute practice and the only way to get better is having more seat time. You are going to get better with time and at times the potential shines so keep it up.

•last night I found it best to let people pass on the short straightaway right before the last turn. I felt I had a good timing in my head as to when the faster cars would come and I would just tap the brake once and by the time we got to the next turn they would be ahead but thank you to the D1 guys for the patience.

•Last but not least it is truly AWESOME to see endurance racing on the rise. Back on Gran Turismo 5 I remember @racingchamp30 and I and a few others would do endurance racing on Saturday Nights for Snail and it eventually died off because we couldn’t get enough people to come. Seeing 16 People in a room for 1 race is amazing and part of me wants it to keep growing but also I don’t want it to because I love the 2 Division racing. It’s exciting to see the different cars and it’s not all spread out it keeps it interesting. Every week I think damn this is the last night before we split up and hopefully it wasn’t. Great racing last night guys and looking forward to week 3

@THRASH Again my apologies for racing you pretty tough there at the end. I should have let you pass me as you were faster on new tires then me on my end of the run tires. I couldn't agree more to the double division racing as it makes for some great battles I too hope we don't split up.

@BradESPN Thank you for putting this series together and to everyone else who promotes it through out the week.

Agreed @MSgtGunny, I know I definitely could have been better at that. I should know better by now.
Thank you for the feedback

That was the only thing I could say as well no need to get completely off track most times the faster car knows where he is going to pass just hold your line it will get better for me I love the enduro series so much more than Sundays because in endurance it's alot more than just who can run a fast lap
