Can we actually follow the start procedure this time?

Haha, was wondering who would be the one to say it. :D

Not really been feeling it about racing any Sim this last few months but always like Suzuka & was quite excited about this, especially as it felt in the last run in qually I had the race setup pretty much as I could hope 8)
On to the race & completed the warm up lap. Crossed the start line & Abrakadabra, everyone disappeared :o :(
Steered to the dirty side of the track (for everyones safety) & kept going in hope... coming out of T1 everyone came back & I did an audible "Phew!", then going into T3 I found myself in the lobby. :wetfish:

How much do you think I could get for my race seat on eBay? :-\

Bad luck, Legzy. :-\ Was the same for me last race in Brasil.
Was going nicely in front then calcs started rolling inside my head. Went for splash and dash as I wasn't sure I was gonna make it through with fuel. Nsfast went by, then Apex. Had to push quite hard to get both and make first. Nice race. Shame for the low numbers. :(
