This was a good fun. Although I was bit worried if the lobby would survive as Adam was quite laggy at the beginning.

Well that was good fun, I definitely could have been more consistent on my part. Good rave though and well done @Philtaylor17 on the convincing victory.

Awesome Race! Thank you @Adam Barber for hosting.
Congratulations to @Philtaylor17 for a well deserved win!
I haven't reviewed the replay, probably do that tomorrow, but I would like to apologize to all for any problems I caused during the race. Raced hard and tried to get out of your way during blue flag conditions. I really must apologize extra to @Philtaylor17 whom I turned into causing your spin on turn 7 and @GT5Apex for spinning you on turn 4.
I did set a personal best of 01:10.xx on 2 separate laps - cool for me.
Finally that was my first official online race in cockpit mode only and it was fantastic. I am expecting more races to come in cockpit mode.
I cannot wait for the next series. Enjoy your racing!

No worries mate!
I should've backed off and just sat behind through the corner but i seen the gap on the apex, plus @DelboyD was .300 behind, so i stupidly decided to fully send it.

Congrats to @Philtaylor17 on the win.
That was good fun last night. The first stint for me was pretty much non-stop battling with @Drex124
Sorry for the tap into the hairpin early on @Drex124. Just missed my braking point.
Had an incident with @john_ydg - thanks for giving the place back. Otherwise some good, hard racing.
Made a few mistakes at the T4 right hander trying to carry speed through. Critically never big enough to spin.
I lucked in with @GT5Apex tangle with @Timm Sheehan as it saved me having to make a pass.
This was the first online race with my new pedals. Much better than my older ones as I could be smoother and more consistent under braking.

Thanks @Adam Barber @Timm Sheehan @DelboyD GG guys
Thanks for organising a great race @Adam Barber. This felt like a real classic Gran Turismo endurance race.
Great racing from everyone in the field, especially @Pigems and @Michelin Man on the podiums
No worries at all @Timm Sheehan, from what I remember you and someone else were together side by side, I thought I saw a chance for a cutback to pass you both in one hit, then when you got wheelspin I was where you would normally have been able to safely drift into, it wasn't really necessary for me to go for it considering I had a gap behind me but racing instinct takes over I guess and it looked like a fun party to join
either way I didn't spin really just had a little slide hope you didn't lose too much time from it.
The race went by pretty quickly really, qualifying was tricky, I wasn't hooking my sectors up properly, and @Pigems was throwing down some really fast laps from the start, managed to get it by barely a tenth at the end.
Then the race started ( thanks to @El_Beardo and @Drex124 for the short shifting tips with the supra on the warm up lap I'd only picked the car the night before so didn't realise that was the way to drive it, saved me some fuel too probably )
Opening laps looked fun, every time I checked the leaderboard on the start/finish it felt like every position had changed, kinda helped allow the draft to be broken which helped, and then just stuck to the two stop, I think the way the fuel worked out it was worth it, it meant a quick 5 second stop with no fuel needed until the second stop.
So yeah, enjoyed the track, enjoyed the race, look forward to the next time we're all on track together GG everyone

I also had a great time. I often miss these events due to time zone / work clashes, it's great when one comes up that I can do and even better when I have this much fun doing them!
