You should be choosing one of the default skins and not one of the team colours. Plenty to choose from in most models

Cheers, I didn't see the defaults in the practise session, am I being stupid or will it be different in the race?
Also any tips on pit strategy, I've not played races for more than 15 laps! I'm usually pretty hard on my tyres, 1,2 or 3 stops do you reckon?

There should be default skins for sure. Depending on what car you take soft/meds will last easily for a 40 minute stint, so 1 stop for fuel and tyres will be plenty.

Roughly how much fuel for the GT3 pork cup on a 1 stop strategy do you think? I don't want to run out!

Sad end to the season for me....qualified well with a pb...still 3/10ths behind Dan though with a great time....Race started...got to the third corner and punted off from behind....started making places back but then I ran into the back of Mr Baracus as he braked for the last hairpin and lost more time waiting for him...started again, but things didn't feel right...the car tended to wander a lot...and I spun out a lap or so later with busted suspension.
Enjoyed the season....in the main....some very very good bits and some not so good...but thats the nature of racing I supose.
Thats my last race here now untill Mid/End January....moving house and can't get the ISP up and running till then....so I wish everyone a Merry Crimbo...(Wonder how many will get G25's off Santa?)
Grats to all winners of both the race and the championships.

Poor last race from me! Picnic, sorry for the nudge in the opening 3 laps! I seemed as quick if not a little quicker than you, and was testing my own braking going into that left..... didnt think i could brake that late and was nearly beside you before i knew it, you tapped me closing the door.... sorry, souldnt have been there! was glad you caught it and carried on! then on my pit stop got caught speeding in the pit lane! Do you have to wait a whole lap before coming back in to serve then penalty? I only ask as i came straight back in, it said at the top of the pit board 10 sec pen which i served then was DQ the following lap for not coming in?? Congrats to winners, been some good racing this season.... Not a good season from me, buying/moving house, 2 weeks abroad and an pc upgrade which arrived DOA all but ruined my season Have a good christmas and new year all Munk

You shouldn't have bothered waiting for me tbh, I wasn't sure if I braked too early or not but as it was my first race and you were in a better class (I think) you should've just gone on! After that I lost it pretty soon anyway. Once I was being lapped I kept coming off trying to stay out of peoples way!

Good hard race than one.
Fighting to stay with Adam for first half of race, we were pretty close for full 40 mins. A few close moments and a couple of overtaking chances but I just could not manage.
I knew come pit stops I could jump him with the 911 needing less fuel. I was worried about TT as he was catching me towards the end of the first half. Needing to beat him for second in championship I was worried.
Managed to jump Adam in the pits and keep TT behind.
Adam was catching after the stops for a few laps, but I managed to ease out a few seconds to which the gap stayed.
Well done Freq on a great drive, and other class winners which I did not catch at the end

I could join other servers no problem. Do you run a particularly high screen resolution? I have this problem with some skins only online if I use my TripleHead2Go at the full res. No problems at 1280x1024 tho

Awesome race for me - simply awesome. Great fun. Was gutted to miss getting my first ever pole position when FreQ beat me by 0.009 of a second. How gutted was I ! I've had a habit of qualifying well this season, only to cock up and move backwards through the field. It was a nice change to stay in 2nd (FreQ simply boogered off into the distance - nice driving), but I had to be on top form to keep Brian's (admitteldly lardy) Porker behind me. I made a couple of errors that almost let Brian through, but I think the extra weight told and he never quite managed to get by. I pitted slightly before Brian, and I knew that this was when he was likely to get past me. I'd not done any real practice on the pit stops at Zuhai, and with leaving the AI to do the pitstop rather than killing the engine myself that was more time that would go begging. As anticipated, Brian emerged some 7-ish seconds infront (I think). I knew I had to blitz the next couple of laps whilst Brian's tyres were getting up to speed, and I did just that. I managed to get the gap down to 2.0 seconds (setting fastest lap in the process - that was a shock, a full second faster than I'd been lapping prior to that), where it stayed for a while. I think the gap got down a bit lower than that, but catching Brian up had taken a heavy toll on my tyres. Although I was still lapping well, I couldn't catch up. In the end with about 6/8 mins left I called the chase off .... as a podium finish was mine unless I screwed up. Thanks to all the guys we lapped, made it easy for us ... although my heart was in my mouth a few times as backmarkers spun in front of us! Cheers Brian for a great race, one to remember for me. Cheers everyone else - great season.

I was worried about TT as he was catching me towards the end of the first half. Needing to beat him for second in championship I was worried.
Messed my pitstop - wanted to add just a bit of fuel but I botched it. Had to come in again, so... You were too quick anyway and in the first stint I was undecided weather to push or conserve fuel. Grats all around. Great show by our Legends Adam and Don with their M3s. Good chase at the end, Jan! TT

No problem, I tried to leave enough room as I saw you coming but I had to turn in at some point Bit annoyed about tonights race really, had I absolutely no pace compared with Tuesday night, I couldn't really get within a second of what I was achieving then. This might be something do with how I got royally s*****d by finishing the last non-event and getting lumbered with 20Kgs of ballast I should never have had! Then I had the engine let go with 7 mins to run. Temps weren't high and I've never blown an engine before without provoking it. Rubbish end to the season
