Nice to see a good group of racers tonight 
Was on softs for the race and hadn't tested them for a long stint. They held out, but meds would've been safer I think. Just was lucky to keep control of the slides midway through the race. Kept my eye out for Zak, any mistake from me and he would certainly have passed me. Can't wait 2 weeks for the next one 
The server ended a bit quick, was lucky to get the replay in time.

Good racing tonight, really sliding around in the E30 by the halfway stage.  Managed to slip through the carnage at the beginning unscaved great feeling of satisfaction avoiding all those cars coming across track

Sorry for lap 1 as I bumped the back of ChrisR under braking and animal ed that 4wd slide out of corners I think I nipped the front of your car. But a very fun race

Nice to see more lines on the graph Had a good tussle with MarkJ in the middle of the race. To Frex, nice to see the old GTR2 rule applied

Agree, it was a good race tonight with a nice mix of cars and some good battles throughout the grid.

But too much contact in lap 1 and I was especially miffed to avoid it all, get upto 3rd only to get span around by rear contact down at the hairpin  I had to let most of the grid go passed but must apologise to Bob as I tried to rejoin by diving over to the inside apex, thinking he'd be able to go round me, but I scared him onto the grass. 
Had a race long chase by Chris T whilst 5th but eventually my soft tyres started to give and I got more oversteer and he got past with only a few laps to go. Then had a good battle with Ed for 6th but I finished ahead 
Good stuff 

What's next?

Interesting to hear you used soft tyres..

When i tested the merc soft tyres lasted 4/5 laps vefore they were at 95%, the meds not much more.. The tyres on the e30 seemed to last far better. (I used the dev app to see the tyre wear)

I had a nice battle with goldtop all the way till the end.

Had good fun last night finally able to control the BMW with a set up from Chris. Two laps from the end had the dreaded screen freeze so retired to pits. Really is time Kunos sorted this, spoiled a good event.

Was mugged off the line and sat 8th or 9th into T1 but with a few incidents in front of me I soon found myself in 3rd. Was struggling with rear end grip in the merc after a few laps (softs and no testing) and had Chris quickly closing me down to eventually pass easily. Had a slight reprieve as he then spun at the hairpin for me to retake 3rd for a while but lost out in the final corner and run to the finish line....bummer 

I'm not usually one for gadgets but I've just started using this great little app called Helicorsa which helps with awareness of other cars around me. It might help with some collisions as I believe most are caused by drivers just not seeing opponents.
