So if I have my time zone conversions correct, the races will start at about 2 pm US Eastern Daylight Time?Practise lobby Friday 7pm BST, Race's 7pm BST. From High Speed Ring.
Incredible Racing:
Race 1 - only 5 starters but I won by 0.1 seconds from driftking
Race 2 - 6 starters, driftking beat me by 0.1 seconds
Race 3 - I was pushed off by driftking fighting for the lead, but was still 2nd
Awesome stuff!
@VR Racing Fan: I was to blame for race 3 pile up, I hit Paul and he spun. Thats what started it.
@driftking:
YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY RIVAL:
We spent all three races wheel banging and getting sideways at 145mph. I was on dirt at 150mph going for the lead, he was swapping paint with me each corner. Great Stuff!!!! And Team Honda's First win!!!
I see what you mean, he hit the honda and then hit me and I had engine damage and I was hit from an accident earlier in race 3 too as well as being shoved into the barrier on the penultimate lap. I don't see what GTP_akmuq is talking about to be honest as I was clearly within the rules but sorry if I offended him then i am sorry but not for my conduct in any way.
I guess today was not my day after being involved in numerous accidents but I guess that is the way it goes for me.
It happens. But full marks to you for continuing and picking some points up rather than quitting in a huff. 👍
And I was close behind for the majority of Race 2 with a ringside seat. Maybe Dana White might want to own a racing team on the side.Incredible Racing:

Sorry guys but I will have to quit the series. The time isn't suitable so I'll be out of your NASCAR series too.
VRracingfan: I'm not offended. Anyways I've got pictures of what you were doing an will upload tomorrow. Not asking to get you penalized I'm just showing how erratic your driving can be under defense. Don't want to sound like that guy.
I've got a few pictures of the other racing going on as well.
What happened at the start of race 3? I started pole and got a terrible launch. VRracingfan got the jump on me but then there was at least 1.5 seconds back to third position. It looks a bit strange on the replay.

Sadly, bumping into someone who false-started in Race #3 killed whatever chance I had at a good finish.
It was rough out there, but it has been for the whole series so far. At Tsukuba the other week, I was punted
onto the grass and spun in 2 of the 3 races
Still, if thats how it is, its how it is. I will confess though that knowing that probably means I'm not as careful
as I perhaps should be when overtaking
Mind you, its BTCC on tv today. Watch those guys, they'll make us look like saints!![]()
Just watched race 2 in the BTCC and its as I thought. We're a model of restraint and careful driving in comparison![]()
And driftking, I think it was midway through Race 3 that you got sideways and nearly crashed off of the second turn leading onto the bridge. How the hell did you hold that together?
Probably on either my part or the car I bumped into.Lag?
Now if I can get it to run as fast as you guys and consistently.Stilll also Race 2 was good to see the BMW able to hang on to us both. Always like that car....
