We go for time again, not lap count? :(

i see you are onto cheeses this season

p.s. still not gonna be back in time for this tonight.

Enjoyed that & was quite competitive till I sped in the pit lane (forgot gtr2 turned on the limiter automatically & I turned it off, trying to turn it on... :'( :laugh:), stop n go meant I had to settle for 3rd.

Congrats everyone & MJ, I'm guessing you had your usual pitting issues?

Not my doing, pulled into the pit box fine, turned off 'repair' and they proceeded to repair anyway! Then the crew chief said something like 'we have a serious technical issue'...never ever heard that in Gtr2 before after all these years?!  I sat there for 2mins + and hit escape in disgust.
Didn't like the track, the annoying rolling start we insist on keeping for less than 10 cars, nor the handling of the car I took, so sadly don't think you will see me again in this series as I'm bored with the same ol same ol. Sorry chaps  :(

Qualified 2nd, faaaaaaaaaaaar from the record time set by Mr. API. Beginning was a bit tense, I knew I can't let Apex run away or I'd never catch him. Managed to overtake soon enough when he made a mistake, then Legzy was tooooooooo close but somehow managed to fend off the attack. From then on it was mostly controlling exits to be far enough on the next entry to prevent inside line.
Good change with pitstops.

MJ: I'd also like some changes but with the field as it is I don't think we'll see it here. So I'll just join races to race with my fellow racers once a week. God knows I race rarely enough and enjoy it when I do. :)
