STEG-13I have never done a formation lap before... just to warn you
its basically everyone cruising around at no more than 60mph...Everyone goes in double filed on the last corner and the pole sitter may only bolt it once everyone is on the straight...No overtaking before start finish line otherwise penalties will be issued...
When a GT500 car comes to lap you please do not race with him/her...You are obliged to let them through when they pull up next to you...Just dont block them...👍

RACE REPORT
joined room with my Lexus,which had a good base setting (normally racing hard ) so just went with it on RS tyres thinking it would be ok.
not so wrong gear ratios ,couldn't get 6th gear on straight so was loosing some acceleration.
the race start went well but half way through the lap heard some chatter about going side by side. so thought that was the GT300' and eased of for a second or two then realised it was GT500s so got on it again.
but alas i had lost 4seconds and more importantly the draft to the front 3.
spent the rest of the race getting closer and closer to 3rd .then when going for the pits got hit side on and kept out of pitlane(my mistake didn't look behind) so did another lap.
coming out of the pits i was right behind COB so took a lap or two to pass him then set about 2nd place and got it with a lap to spare ..
All in all a good nights racing (will remember to do some practice for next race and some set up aswell)
congratulations to the winners (hope to push GT300 winner harder next time)

great report...Its always a good read....
Had an interesting race to say the least. Quali was okey like always, p1.
Lap 2 or 3 it happened like always do, just couldnt stop into t2 and hit Terrible, sty for that, and i waited him to let him bye me and it was a long long wait, i guess i had him good into wall. I recon we lost good 10 seconds if not more.
Had a good run through others back to p2 but that menth i had no clean laps and i wasnt able to the speed i was able to so i knew key will be to get clean with pit stops. Did stop one lap earlier what i should really but pit stop was fast and it was key to go in in front of Terrible who was following me because i knew my car will slow him down when i turn into my box, that menth that coming out i had few second lead over him.
Before the pit stops we lost to Led about 12 seconds and when he did stop lap later the cap was around 7 seconds. With the first laps i made sure no one will catch me behind and that i will ensure points with fastest lap. Made no mistakes and it took me about 6-7 laps to catch up Led. Tried to get away from him but tires were very bad and 3 laps to go made an mistake in t1 and i got hooked from the wall in the end part of t1, half spun and Led got 2-3 second lead what i wasnt able to make back anymore with 1 lap older tires.

My Race Report
I had a very frustrating race...I qualified 1 whole second off the pace set by Eeronmm which was the beginning of my confusion. I was sure I had hit every apex as hard as I could. Boy was I angry when I saw I had Racing Medium tyres on when I came in for my first stop
...I immediately set a high 1:33 on my first full lap. I had a awesome battle with Dany_CL on the first stint. On the Shuto Ko Expressway there was a really big speed difference between me and Dany which made me curious as to how the hell that was happening. Ah well, leason learnt...Looking forward to Special Stage Route 5...Congrats to Led and Dragon on their wins...
