I know. I'd lust like to see what scenarios were in place that caused the incidents so I know what to avoid when I race at Fuji again. Also, I'm a bit nosey lately.

OK, let's go through my race...
Tricky Turn 1, the outside of the front 2 rows both braked late (I was on the outside of Row 2) and coming out of the corner I had left-front suspension damage. That threw a stop in straight away and compromised my strategy. @trobes29 DC and @Chris hatten spin gave me a better position. I was very surprised to find myself on @PEAGLEZ7 gearbox at the end, fighting for a podium but I dropped it on the final lap pushing too hard.
The only major mistake I made was the contact with @Whitetail, for which I must apologise. I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw nothing, moved to the outside line and lifted, assuming Bambi was underneath me. I got it wrong and hold my hands up. Sorry Bambi. I do need to work on my awareness with faster traffic.
Great race all around though, being less than 5 seconds off of the podium going into the last lap after taking the early stop was an unexpected bonus. 👍
Can't wait for Motegi!

No damage, no worries. Just keep your foot in it next time, it's impossible to anticipate cars letting off to let you through in a corner. When you're on a long straight and you pull off line ahead of time then it's obvious.OK, let's go through my race...

Cool, will do. 👍 I cursed myself out for 5 laps for not just going wide in the next corner instead...

Lap 34: The first bit of contact was on your end, @DcrRaikkonen. You had made the move but weren't clear and you moved over into him. The very next corner, if there was contact as I didn't see any on my replay, would be @Doomstorm16's fault as he made a late move up the inside of a GT500 car. Not preferred from the GT300 drivers.
Lap 38: @NinjaEvo just out-brakes himself and tags @DcrRaikkonen, who runs into @Doomstorm16 as a result. Although @DcrRaikkonen could have allocated room on the inside as @NinjaEvo could have made the corner if that was the case. I think this should be a racing incident as it was avoidable in multiple aspects and to penalize one driver would be difficult.
Lap 44: @Doomstorm16 fails to recognize @DcrRaikkonen's presence and turns down into him.
@BRRT_Angel any penalties will be at your discretion.

I think that the qualifying ballast shouldn't be that large between drivers. 40kg seems to be a bit overkill especially when someone who doesn't qualify of doesn't make it into the top 3 doesn't get any ballast. On top of that comparatively 3rd place only gets about 10 kg which isn't a huge penalty. It may be a good idea to lower it 10 - 15 kg. This way second can have 20kg and 3rd can still keep the 10. Personally I would like to be rid of it all together because it punished whomever earns pole, but this suggestion may make it a bit harder to walk all over anyone who starts pole. I may need to run some tests with people to see how this slows lap times if anyone is interested.

It's my opinion it should be eliminated all together. Even a little ballast will encourage sandbagging and reluctancy to go as fast as you can. Ballast should only be applied after the race so people don't weasel out of a pole lap to gain an "unfair" advantage in the race. But this is @BRRT_Angel's series and we can propose all we want, it's still her ultimate decision.
