Congrats to strawman! That was a very fun event, great cars and the track I think had some challenging moments. My concentration only lasted for the first 3 races then I began to make (bigger) mistakes, in the Guilia Sprint race I was closing in on the 2 leading cars, closely monitoring SSXRid3R, so close that when he spun, I spun too, and from then on, I just lost time. Being on top of my game wouldnt have changed much in the last race though , Andy Strawman, SSXRid3R and Geek30 were really fast in that car. Thanks melon for a great event, I was happy to share second!

Yes, the Guilia Sprint GTA on your Italian Job track... very easy to forget you're in a "low powered" vintage road car!!!
That was one of the most thrilling races I've had in a long time!!

I'm not quite so good in the Tz2... I do believe it's got SUCH a nice handling that I can't help but drive it poorly!! I'm so used to driving cars that are NOT such examples of performance! ha ha ha!

 

[dmihaylov]

Thanks for the races last night. It was good. Tested my new wheel with manual gears for first time - very nice, but I could not handle the Alfa it was too hard on the fast corners I spin every time

 

[Lexi Walker]

LOL MELON YOU ARE 1 POINT AHEAD OF ME!!! xD
yeah i missed the 2nd race whit the specials... i had to leave becuse my game froze.
but anyway was fun racing and btw it was the first time i drove that ZAGATO Race Car, just saw how awesome that car is, hopefully there will be more races whit that car!

 

[Geeky30]

SILVER!? Wow! Thankyou all for some great races

Great racing last night. My connection was funny during the first two races, but I eventually got it sorted out.

That was one of the most thrilling races I've had in a long time!!

The Sprint was a nightmare to drive to me. It was easier to drive than when I took a similar the same car round Rome a few weeks ago, but it wasn't easy for me to keep it from drifting. The handling wasn't too good either...

Lol geeky, in the video me at 3:27 like "BEEEEEP! get outta way!!!" xD
