Quali is 15 minutes, race is 18 laps. Race 2 reverse. Racing mediums, race delay 100 seconds.
 
Bandwidth returned to normal, setting up room. People coming in ok. get in my lobby, quali in 2 mins.
 
This would be normal start Sam... I'll just have race 2 start immediately...

well it isn't, race 1 would have started 15 mins ago, plus quali and its 30 mins back. i gotta go have dinner, would have had it after race 1 between 2. now it will be middle of 1 and then washing up is during 2
 
5th and 6th tonight didn't really have that much pace, was around the pace of those in front but errors in the opening laps meaning i couldn't catch up
 
Although you had serious connection issues (which is sometimes happening out of the blue, atleast for me too) we had awesome races.
In R1 I made a little mistake which allowed Spurgy to pass me and after that he was gone with the wind (he was 0.8-1seconds faster than me per lap).
Neljack and Carbonox closed the gap and till Carb went of it was a fatal 3 way :D
After he was gone Nel and I had a superb Battle (hope you guys saved the replay and are going to watch it 👍:)) till the end.
We went side-by-side through almost every Turn on the Track, he passed me I passed him all the Time.
Great sport mang was probably the best race I had (and we didn´t screw it at any time only minimal contacts).

Race 2 was very good too but I couldn´t match my normal Times (high 31´s) and only was running mid 32´s.
Had great Battles with Spurgy, snow, Carb and again Nel :D
Till end of Lap 16 all of a sudden Carb and Nel where gone and I had a safe finish :D


With RR cars you have to focus on outacceleration, atleast this is my focus and it works for me (slower is sometimes faster :D).
Hope I can make it to the next Races :D

Yeah, I would like to apologise for the events of last night, i'll tell ya what happened. Around 6pm i'm doing a seasonal event when suddenly the broadband goes off in my house for a minute, this suddenly freezes my game on a black screen with title "seasonal events" and after a minute, hitting circle takes me back to the main screen. So I think its ok, I clear cache to make sure.

Then when I opened the lobby, no-one could connect on to me. So I created a new room. Works, but I notice I have taken a major bandwidth hit. Then I get dc'd. When I try to rejoin I connect with neljack host, and track is empty in watch race despite blue bars in lobby screen saying there all on track. Nel leaves, boom suddenly I can no-one in the lobby except Sakery.

So I quit, and can't rejoin due to network incompatibility, so in a little bit of anger (and sorry Neljack for the heated PSN message) I just think "🤬 this", I do another re set which suddenly boost bandwidth back to high, and I connect into a room fine, by which time its 8pm.

Also Haitch, sorry for race 2 incident, Spurgy and Chris weaving like crazy, I got a heck of a kick-ass draft and was sure I could stick it up the inside. Then I realised the brakes on RUF's are made of cardboard. :ouch:
 
Had a good first race, great battle with Sakery at the start then managed to pull a decent gap, was a bit worried when I went off but luckily managed to get away with it :lol:

The second race wasn't so good. When I was in the pack up front I kept getting hits from behind as if it were regular TOCA which in these cars really isn't appreciated, I was glad when I got up front and away again because these cars really don't take that big a hit before you're off :( Then similar story to race 1, except towards the end I came across DK who has spun out of the last corner, I saw him reversing out into the track creating a nice gap on the inside, but then he changed is mind when he saw me, went forward and closed the gap again which meant I went straight into him. Luckily it only lost me 4 seconds and I was about 12 ahead of Sakery so was still comfortable. Then for some reason on the last lap Haitch, who I'd just lapped, thought it would be funny to hit my back end on purpose every corner for half a lap almost spinning me out. If he had spun me out there was a good chance Sakery would have closed the 8 second gap so I really wasn't too impressed and expected Haitch to be a little more mature than that.
In general it would have been nice to see people show a little more consideration seeing as these cars are very tail happy and not the easiest things to control.
 
won't be at the final round due to me finishing work at 8pm with a 20 min walk after working 9 1/2 hours during the day
 
Holy 🤬 I forgot :lol: - yes tomorrow Nurb GP/D Finale, tables will be up tomorrow!
 
Tables would be nice please :P
