eva whats your psn?

Reload lobby list to join once you've added me.

 

[123yokomo]

Sorry I couldn't make it i was helping my mom and by the time I got in the lobby it was already started

 

[RACECAR]

"Disconnected"

My favorite word after a productive day of driving horribly.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Good first race for me. Few mistakes here and there cost me a better result, but I can live with it.

@Eva, if Corvettes run tonight, I can throw a quick car together to fill in, if need be.

 

[eDirtyTati]

Sorry I didn't make it. I wasn't going to unless I got notice by Thursday or so. I hope the race was good.

 

[TetsuKobura]

My face after this race:

 

[250 GTO]

Fun race. Just needed more too end speed

 

[AudiMan2011]

Pretty good race. Choked hard in the winding back section at the start but did well to recover. Fuel economy sucks in the RS though.

 

[gtic_ybear]

Well...today is a whole new level for my sim racing experience...I pee on my seat...lol

 

[Ax4xGearHead]

Well...today is a whole new level for my sim racing experience...I pee on my seat...lol

...This was the shortest race of the season? Why?

 

[GTIC]

...This was the shortest race of the season? Why?

Too much coffee before start, it was just before finish line, I positioned my car straight to finish line and ran to the toilet, so basically it's just glide to finish line

 

[Motoceles]

Everyone is room 2 sorry for the holdup. I didn’t know about holding the brake to prevent auto drive. I can’t blame the GrandDaddy Purple on this one.

 

[NoirAntares]

*Room 1.
Very slight holdup, easily fixed as soon as you got over sector 1 timing line. Not too big of a deal, we still finished earlier than room 2 anyway lol.

 

[Cobani]

Good racing last night. Nerves got me damage on lap 1. Cost me a chunk of top speed for the first stint, but gained me a good run with @Motoceles.

After the first pit stop I was about 25 seconds behind my target, P4 (Top 3 in lobby 1 were brilliantly fast and running away with it.)
Took me 24 laps of quali runs to try and nibble tenths of the gap to 4th. That was great racing.

But the awesome racing began after I made the pass with 6 laps to go. Those final laps were tense. Clean and fair all the way. 0.012 at the finish line. Congratulations @Eva

 

[Sting]

Stock setup cost me by not having the sort of top end speed that some were getting on that straight, but the damage from the incident at turn 1 really didn’t get my race off on the right foot. Having to do a whole lap barely able to reach 110mph is so annoying haha.

It was a little more boring for me, when compared to Suzuka, because I wasn’t in any battles. Think the most enjoyable part came when I pitted and @gtic_ybear went through (albeit he seemed a lap down) so chasing him down for the fun of it saw some of my best consistent laps.

Congrats to the podium winners in each lobby.

 

[Damianoo874]

Nice race, hope I was driving safe in 1st lobby and no one got any problems due to me.

After first pace lap or second lap... I did not realize what is going on, Joker and two other guys behind me I think CssK and Indonesian guy immediately went to pit stop. I was driving very slow at that time trying to realize what's going on and to not make mess.

Later on I tried to go too fast, in a result - crashed few times, visited pit stop few times and it was impossible to catch at least 6-7th place.

Well, sometimes it is just better to drive safe than fast.

I’m Joker. Reason for pitting was due to damage on lap 1 at turn 1. Engine, aero, suspension, Everything was damaged so I had no choice but to pit straight away for repairs.

And I would've been the other one... Same story

...well, except for the Joker part.

Announcing some things prior to Winter Break.
1) Regarding the race at the Nurburgring on February 17th, due to the race's length in addition to the track's length, the race proceedings will be different for this race only. The schedule for the Nurburgring event will look as follows. All times are in Eastern U.S. time.
12:50 p.m: Race lobbies open. Track will be open for 30 minutes of warm up.
1:20 p.m: Visibility checks and final attendance count-drivers not in the lobbies at this point will not be permitted to race.
1:25 p.m: Qualifying begins for a 30 minute period. (Approx. an out lap and 3 flying laps)
1:55 p.m: Qualifying ends. All drivers to park near the Nordschleife start finish line.
2:10 p.m: Race begins. NOTE: Due to the size of the track, the start procedure will be altered to allow drivers to line up in grid spots immediately instead of doing a formation lap. Race is expected to be about three hours long.

2) Race lobby rosters have been adjusted to take into account drivers that have failed to show up for the first two races of the season. Drivers that have missed both races have been moved to the reserve lists while drivers in the reserve list have been bumped forward to take their places.

3) A rule has been added to allow teams to make one change of car. Teams that change cars will be forced to start at the back of the grid at the next applicable race. 4 entries per car is still the limit. Updated list of cars is in the OP.

Now you’re pushing it commissioner. Three hours!

This isn't a new revelation. It's been in the OP what the race distance was from the start.
