 :'( :'( :'( Another cock up with fuel, the game said I had ample fuel another lie. Had great pace, no mistakes but ran out of fuel one lap to go, had to back right off to conserve but to no avail. Gutted!!!    PS why were all cars white I had the skin pack installed.

bad luck BOB, I tried applying some pressure at the end but you had it in the bag. Cant understand why you have problems with the fuel, I always base my fill on what the game says and it is usually ok. I always add an extra 2 laps fuel to be save and usually have plenty left over at the end.

that was an exciting end to the V8 series. I was annoyed that my pc was playing up and I lost most of the practice session, you really need it to keep out of the barriers at the top of the mountain. I took it steady early on, had a couple of brushes with the Armco but managed to get away without damaging the steering. Had a close battle before the pitstops then tried to put some pressure on BOB towards the end, but I couldn't make him crack and inherited the win when he ran dry.

Thanks all  for competing in this mini series, you need to get a fair few laps under your belt to get the hang of them, but once you do they are great to drive (especially if you are a big real life Supercars fan like me).

Not sure what series to run next, I am contemplating running a series for the TCR's using BTCC circuits and getting an ACC series going if we can get the server to be reliable. In the meantime we will be having some fun races:

ACC GT3
RRE GT2
AC...not decided yet!

On a different subject did anyone watch the ACC races this afternoon that were put on by the real life Blancpain GT organisers (featuring real life drivers and gamers), i thought it was awesome, lots of close clean racing (no barging). It was also a very slick broadcast with the real life commentators, much better than the eNASCAR Iracing event last weekend.
