GT1's   my favourite

FYI racers, there is a beta version of circuit of the americas on the pils website, it is called 'austin GP'. might be a track we could race in the future

We never raced on the old Interlagos, the long one, did we? I think we raced on the Gamers Cribe or No Grip League. That track would be awesome for LMP2s.

That was a good race.

I could not keep it together in the Viper and made many mistakes. The first few laps were very much fun with lots of close action. I was still fighting for a position almost all the way until the end of the race when my rear tyres started to overheat, the Viper then became even more difficult to drive.

I was having trouble finding my braking point on one of the corners and an early brake from me may have caught SRW out at one point. Sorry about that SRW.

I had some nice battles and went around a good few corners side by side with other cars.

That track is always fun.

Grats Apex, nsfast and Spanner.

Well done all and thanks for racing.

That was fun. Wasnt expecting the car to last tbh, the tyres were wearing quite quickly, the back end was a bit too lively at times but worked well for a short period. That back end was killing me in the race, i had to try and drive carefully through the midle sector and then struggled with traction out of the last corner. However this must be the only track the fronts got up to temp so could drive it!
I suppose everyone threw it off at least once! And somhow found myself in second and reeled in Apex but he seemed really slow in the first corner so never got a decent run and then i couldnt get the last corner right and so nsfast and H@L were homing in.

Fantastic 35 mins racing. Real wheel to wheel stuff with everyone involved on a great track.

Grats to Apex on a good win and spanner - you were so quick at the end on worn tyres  Hope I wasn't too aggresive defending. I seemed to be holding people up most of the race!
