Watched my race again, so I'd like to apologize to Fido who got caught in my messy crash coming out of the final hairpin, everyone else somehow managed to avoid me, but Fido pulled the short stick there and lost several positions and a decent amount of time, which in hindsight probably cost him even more positions by putting him out of that group which he just managed to catch. I waited for him as that's all I could really do at that point. Sorry mate! At least we got a good race out of it because of that in last few laps. ;)

I've also noticed a couple of cheeky overtakes, where I get a boost from the kerbs just before the overtake, though I actually give those positions back pretty soon afterwards, once by driving into the sandpit (to Paulie), also tried to give Ally his back, but he didnt want it. ;)

Here's the 1st half of my race (minus a couple bits where the footage skips).  Took 5 hours to upload, and nobody in the house could use any internet for that time.:D - so I'll probably just make a highlights video of any incidents instead of posting the 2nd half.  Most of the incidents I saw or was involved in happened in the 1st half anyway. 

  • Awesome starts by @acdc_sw and @BRacer
  • I probably slowed a bit too soon and turned in a little early for the 1st corner at the start which caught @Potato out and caused a bit of an incident.  There was some lag involved as well, so it's hard to be 100% sure who did what and when. From @zmurko's POV it shows me in a different place than where I really was.  I'm sorry you got taken out by it @Fido_le_muet.  You seemed to suffer more than your fair share of bad luck in this race. :(
  • There was a moment @9:10 when I stayed wide to make sure I didn't lag hit @Crawford1872 at the hairpin, then @Realjaysee seemed to nudge me onto the slowdown strips, but watching Zmurko's POV, you could see it was all lag and it just looked like I drove onto them all by myself.  Sometimes the lag will take you guys out, sometimes it will take me out. :lol:
  • I got lucky when Zmurko hit the "Wall Of Champions" @11:30.  I actually went underneath his airborne car, but poor Fido got fucked hard again.  (It worked perfectly, Z - just like we practised. ;))

I really enjoyed the race.  There was always someone just in front or just behind me, so it was interesting and challenging most of the time.  From watching the other videos, I didn't look too bad this round, but sorry I my lag made it hard/annoying for anyone.

We all went over the curbs here or there a couple of times but from my POV, none of it was excessive or deliberate.  Thanks once again, @Squirrel.  Already looking forward to the next round. 

Edit - Special mention to @Proxy who did the honourable thing and pulled in to the pits due to the lag.  Cheers, mate. :)

My race : 

 

Highlights : 

1.00 : start

3.55 : Lost a place to @no_snacks and @JuniorChubb
6.05 : Drifting past @JuniorChubb :P (Who's the real JC ???)
9.57 - 11.46 :  Starting to smell P6  (Not a very clean overtake at 11:40, but i think its ok?)
14.27 - 16.30 : Battle for P5 
17.16 - @Potato loses time because someone got out of his car in the middle of the track? And I think @Mythaga also crashed into him? He was right behind me until then, suddenly no myth anymore... Anyhow, not my problem, time to get Potato...
18:49 : Mistake by Potato, STNC on 1,2,3 and 4 :D
From there, epic battle between Myth, Potato and myself.
About 8(?) overtakes between Potato and Myself. 
 
Just like in Spain and in Monaco, I had to give it away again in the closing stages of the race. Lost two places in the last lap ... :( 
Reporting Potato and Myth for giving me hope and destroying my dream, I guess a 5 second time penalty would be okay :P 
 
awesome racing everyone!

Ohh, so THAT's the "Wall Of Champions", no wonder I hit it then. :D Though I didn't really feel like one.

And yeah, you're welcome. :ph34r:

My video

Nothing to report to the stewards, but I would like to remind people that horns can not always be heard above the background noise so are not an effective way of letting someone know you are wanting to lap them.

I feel sorry for @Fido_le_muet in this race. Two accidents by other drivers meant that first he was on his roof and then later on ended up in the pitlane. Unlucky is an understatement. 

I guess I was a bit unlucky but it's alright really. Had good fun in the pack and a nice battle with Z.

I think I could have avoided the crash with Z mid race. I chose the wrong side, thought I'd have time to go around Z but no :D

Full race here.

Topic moments:

  • 0:20 - Brilliant start from 6th to 2nd in the first corner
  • 5:15 - CP lost
  • 5:55 - Crash (due to the minimum space given by @Potato, but he had much space on his right)
  • 16:17 - @Sagrawa missed collision
  • 16:26 - Incident between @Squirrel and @acdc_sw
  • 17:16 - @Squirrel incident
  • 25:17 - @Paulie dangerous return on track
  • 28:20 - Victory! :)

My race...
Notable moments:
2:00 start and lag issues with @no_snacks
2:56 @Clydicality cutting across my line as he rejoined the track at the hairpin
7:00 @BRacer turning round to get a missed checkpoint (minimap)
7:35 Semi- taken out by @BRacer as I was well within my right to hold my line. If he respawned when he missed the checkpoint like he was supposed to, this wouldn't have happened.
11:52 Huge crash. Thankfully no one got caught up in it.
15:25 Racing incident with @Clydicality at the hairpin. Gave the place back.
16:05 Shoutout to myself for defending from @Realjaysee and overtaking @Clydicality on the same chicane ;) (looks better from JC's vid)
18:13 @Proxy spinning out and causing issues for me and @Mythaga at turn 2. Nothing to report, we just got caught up in someone's mistake :)
18:48 Me mysteriously driving into a wall for no apparent reason.
20:00 Intense battle with @Realjaysee to the finish. @Mythaga joined in at about 25:00. Well done to all of us for keeping it very clean.

Fabulous race again, thanks to all racers and especially Squirrel!

For me the race had everything and I really enjoyed it all the way. Nothing to complain from my perspective,  it was just great and intensive racing and then some unexpected things can happen now and then.

@zmurko very polite to give the place back but your overtaking wasn't that bad imo.

@BRacer you're right it was a ugly move how I got back on the track, I lost my concentration in that corner, there was really no intension to hit you I just really screwed up over there. And I was assuming you would overtake me after those corners, a bit naive I think. ?

@JuniorChubb I really felt bad after hitting you slightly in that second corner in one of the last laps. I waited a bit, called your name and a couple secs later you told you was on mute. Luckily for my concience ? you managed to take back to your place a few moments later resulting in a slightly higher finishing spot, I think that was fair and we both secured our little points! ?

Really looking forward to the next race, Team Tenshun!

Great race, really enjoyed it thanks again Squirrel :)

Here is my race... Nothing to go to the stewards with, just a bit of banter for Paulie and Trem...

@Paulie Our little coming together was at about 17:40 Video time (19:30 race time). I was on mute as there was background noise in my living room and I wanted to concentrate, I saw you slow down but was a little surprised when you continued. No worries though mate, I had great fun racing round with you, I am not sure how I stayed in front of you at the end as everytime I overtook you you were back on me within half a lap and always gaining, your best lap was a lot quicker than mine too IIRC so I guess you were lapping quicker than me but you just left the track every now and then. ;)

@Tremonius I am glad I was on mute after your 3 point turn on the straight at 26:46 on my vid, I turned the air blue :lol: No damage done though, luckily though I ended back on the straight and didn't lose a position.

I am getting close to conceding... ;)

Edit to add: Damn I just saw the results on Spuds video, Xero Gas were just about off the bottom of the league (4pts) until Madden turned up and lifted Globe Oil to new heights... we gotta get some points Team Xero, @LimeGreenLegend, @Tremonius & @joper881583070460 lets turn it on!!! Well at least try too :lol:

I am really sorry, I hit an invisible wall on the track and lost my mind about that.

Unfortunately missed the qualifying and started 23rd. Race time is at 5am for me, a tough time ?. Managed to get the first point of the season in 15th. Next race I'm hoping to join you @JuniorChubb up the field with @Tremonius 

Great race from everyone, always good fun.
