WOW... GT and I had a ding dong battle in the beginning  , then I had a half spin, so I decided to pit, I came out like 10th, then I was pushing as hard as possible, but 17min from the end I hit a bump under braking and the gear jumped back (so much for down shift protection) my Engine light came on, the I backed off hoping just to get to the end, but to my surprise GT made a mistake and then I guess had a technical issues as well, I just paced myself in the 1:42.5's John was a day ahead of me, so I was hoping just to keep 2nd.. To my surprise I found John only 15 sec ahead, then behind me.. I then realized I only have 13 liters left in my tank, i was just trying to finish, I did and with the win with only 1 liter to spare.. Really didn't expect to win this one, not one of my favorite tracks.. Oh well.. Well done all.. Ant |

Hey, I want to apologize for causing a collision when I was overtaken. Pretty bad behaviour by me, I'm feeling terrible! Hope I didn't ruin your race (I don't know who was the 'victim', driving the blue ruf). Made a voluntary drive through. As I could not find this option in the menu, I just drove in and canceled the pit. Hope that's correct this way, but of course I'd take any responsibility if there is some kind of punishment. I thin this drive through just took something around 10 seconds, what seems to be not so much.
That was me  In fairness it is up to the driver making the pass to do so safely even if they are lapping. I thought I'd left you enough room on the outside but I really can't blame you for that. |

Sry, you totally left enough space, I just didn't realize that you're already on my side and tried to switch to the right side of track to allow you to pass me. That wasn't one of my smartest moments  |

Eeeks. that was a bit of a crazy race. I did notice some big red letters in the OP, just forgot all about em the last days. Then sitting on the grid cars where reving like mad and on green a saw cars in front shooting away. Thought nothing off it and set about to race too. Just after finishing and logging onto this tread i noticed the rolling start again. Pretty embarrassing. Please scrap my results then. (not title material anyway )) Did feel like a proper race to me anyway, good length, pit stops and with a nice climax in the last minutes with GT and Giannes. Thanks that was enjoyable. Cheers. |

Somebody's inability to run a pace lap at a proper speed pretty much ruined any real enthusiasm i had as people were so widely spaced it consigned it to running alone. Interesting how the tye grip changes once the tyes get to 98%! I just seem to struggle on this tyre model to be confident around the limit so never really got ontop of it till the middle of the race.

It has been noted and will be dealt with. |

There is no option for country "Greece" in the Driver details tab-despite having an option for Mozambique among other exotique destinatinations  So i just filled in the location field in my account settings... |

Guilty as charged over the start completely forgot going towards the second corner when i realised what had happened, felt like a right tit which in itself was enough but i slowed down to let positions back and the next thing you know we are spread all over the place, my own embarrasment over the start made me feel bad and i just couldnt get into it at all, i quit all embarrased and frustrated.
Should make the password rolling start, cant forget that.
Apologies again.
