Just scrolling through the highlight videos really makes my day sometimes,listening to music and watching fair and fantastic racing, it feels great watching them knowing you're in safe hands while racing, in the communtiy I used to race with we had bias,corner cutting,penalties to help certain people, e.g somebody runs out of fuel on the racing line and does not move out of the way,he gets hit up the back,rejoins and blocks everybody, and the person who hit him(who stayed behind) gets a penalty, that person was 2nd to me,and had 1 lap to go,after the race he reinstated himself into 2nd(he was series creator and teammate)he would even ask for me to let him win(which I refused).Then he started to put me further down the grid as to where I qualified(1st to 3rd) I tried to explain,and he DSQ me from it,which mean't he was champion.I had a 64 point lead after 9 races(still atleast I had race replays to enjoy)as I won every race but 1 until that point, he created a new one,I was teammates with him again(I gave him my setup)he was still 2sec slower round Spa than me,so he cut the bus stop out everytime,in the race he forced me onto the grass,and later as I was alongside(he spun off and blamed it on me and called me dirty)I saved the replay and discovered he used the handbrake to spin.I told him this and he said move on.I did to Monza,I caught up after being taken out at the start,he slowed to 50mph round Ascari and blocked my every move,I managed to dummy him,behind me he goes off,and starting complaining that I'm dirty,by this point I gave up and left his series,deleted him, blocked him, and a month later I decided to join this series,I wish I did that a lot sooner, because this is a fair, clean and hard racing and challenging races too,the series I was in previously I dominated and was relatively easy(I took pole in very event I entered),this series was something I had been looking for over 2 years.Sorry for the very long post but I just wanted to say this, and say Thank You, all the racers and organizers and the stewards who donote their time to study and penalize if need be.The racers who are clean and trustworthy,and the organizers who keep the series in tip-top condition.

Wow I am glad you got out of there... That's why I only participate in series with multiple stewards and sanctioners.

Thank you very much nin, it's really encouraging to have feedback like this, there has been a lot of people recently who have been rather negative and it's really nice to have some positive feedback and yes thank you to everyone who puts on the time and effort to make this happen, as it doesn't just happen with the stewards or people that run it.... It's all the guys who partake in the series that make this such a good community to race in
 
Nin is a very pasionated writer :P
On he's last experience, that's what hapens when you race with spoiled kids XD

It's sad but true. I love :gtplanet: It's a good community to race in.
 
Good news!!! technical issues have been sorted and the videos for laguna and SPA shall be up soon!!!
 
Finally got Laguna finished after some technical troubles, sorry its not up to the usual standards guys :(

 
I think I did well in final practice considering I hadn't driven the circuit for a week(and the first time in race settings,and a new high downforce setup)seemed to the match the 908s in the infield but I lose a few tenths through the fast chicane,the 908s were taking 10mph more entry speed, other than that, all seems great,but I think abit more time can be found, that pit exit is so hard, I crashed twice on the wall,by touching the grass,so in the race I'm going to be cautious through there.My connection has improved too,I was running no cable today(I had to run a cable recently to have adecent connection)looked good but after the last test race I disconnected, so just to be safe I'm planning to run the wire for the race,I don't want to ruin a good chance of points with a DNF, Spa was a disappointment after the promise that showed in quali.Hoping for a good result if possible, by the way good video memto.

I already have jitters for the race tomorrow. I know I'm a second or two slower so my goal is to just keep the car tidy and be consistent with my driving.
 
Unfortunately for me, i wount make it to the race tomorrow, will need to go to a birthday :(
If the mission aborts, i will let it know on time, but for now, i'm off the race

I think you are a one to watch for this race, you have the pace and skills to keep at the front and the only reason why you didnt win the second race was coz some asshat crashed and left you no where else to go but into the back of him :P "sorry about that"

Ah mate im sorry to hear that :/
 
Does anyone who has participated in the season so far feel like being a photographer?
 
I'm looking forward to Daytona today lads, should be a really good race, consistency will be the key I think, where were all the GTE racers in practice on Wednesday, I was very lonely on my own :( lol, at least I got some good running on the medium tyres.

Great vid again memto, the Spa one should be epic 👍
 
Damn that accident looked big, thats how connections can ruins races for you and others too, looking at that Stavelot moment my car twitches left(probably a bit of lag,connection)I was on the kerb at that point from my POV,so yeah hopefully my connections doesn't cause choas hopefully.:nervous:

My favourite part was me and Chozza alongside through the Bus Stop Chicane,he got a better exit and passed me.Normally I would defend but since track is set to real I feel its better to stay on the racing line.

That's a real good edit John, I particularly like how you encapsulated the nightmare that appeared to be plotnik's race. You certainly didn't seem short on footage of a Zonda more often than not being a bit out of control :P

At least he didn't ruin someone else's race by losing control into them and rage quitting eh? What kind of arse would do that... ;p
 
Hey depending on the difference in braking points in turn 1 would it be legal to start from the pit lane? That would constitute last place start but it would prevent an incident as I brake really early in most corners.

Okay then. I should be able to manage just watch out for my braking lights. I will probably be in the last row of LMP anyway.
