I had just finished a full 1 hour race when I joined you guys late in the qualifying. With 9 minutes left, I was extremely fortunate to set the pole. But I wasn't sure if I could keep concentration up for the whole race, so I was prepared to let faster drivers pass. Loc put quite a bit pressure on me in the beginning of the race, but at the end of each lap I was able to pull away a little bit after we passed that 3rd gear uphill left/right hander. But when Loc spun off, trouble began, because Pablo closed the gap really fast After a short fight it was obvious that he was about half a second faster than me, so instead of risking a crash I allowed him to pass, which he would have done anyway. From then on, the race settled and I'm glad that I came out of it without making a major mistake. Thanks for a great race and clean driving. Grats Pablo!

Was having a great fight with mojo and felt I was quicker. Decided to stop 2 laps earlier than normal and see if I could "pass him in the pits". Hit the pit request button, yeah come in next lap, did that and theres Will sat in the pit slot getting his stuff done. Oh s**t! Will went and I tried to get in the box, nothing! Aaaahhh, only option was to drive around again. Went from a comfy 3rd to 7th and really pi**ed off. Then on last lap Jamera (who had been watching me from TV cam) says my car froze just around the last S before the uphill drive, from my side all cars disapeared, crossed the line and was given 5th as result. Pretty sure I was in 7th.

Funny old game! Got the 1fps bug during the last mins of quali and had to quickly rejoin before the session moved on! Started at the back and decided to take a nearly full tank of fuel and risk trying to make up time in the pits. Had a battle with Picnic early on, once I got round him he seemed to drop away, maybe he got caught by a lapping GT? Followed Dangerman for the next 30 mins until it was time to pit. A good 23 sec pit stop put me back out close to the leading group of NGT's. I then had a bit of a scrap with Adam for 3rd place which unfortunately let Gizmo pull away a bit. Tyres were going off big time towards the end, and held on for 4th. 1.3 litres left in the tank at the end! Grats to the winners and podiums. onto Spa

Terrible race for me never raced the track before and in qually didn't seem to get anywhere near the other gt qually times. My set up was totally wrong and was trying to alter things throughout qually and resulted in last qually spot for the gt's. It gets even worse when it came to the race. I was closely following CE throughout the first lap and we came to the latter stage of the lap on a left hander and CE broke in front of me, my reactions were too slow and ended up rear ending him straight off the track. I AM VERY SORRY for ruining your race. After this I saw Will in front of me and he kept pulling away, passed pits on second lap and saw CE in there and felt dreadful for ruining his race and thought well I had a terrible set up and didn't really know the track and the thought of ruining another race made me reach for the escape button. Very sorry guys will get some hard practise in for the next race I can make.

Well, for me that was a fantastic race, although lonely at times. I had a good dice with Merlin on the first couple of laps, but there were a few places I was a bit quicker than him, and I sense he 'gave' the place to me after a while - thanks Merlin After that I was in 4th or 5th for ages, then got down to 3rd. At this point, Enzo started to apply some real pressure, and there was a bit of a scary moment, when I was lapping some of the NGT cars at the uphill section before the finish. I think it was Picnic's little train, with Jon Ball and Chunky. Anyway, quite rightly those guys were embroiled in their own battle, and I had to carefully pick my spot to get past. At this point, I had Enzo's Lambo right up my exhausts, and had to really put in some quick times to stay in front! Fortunately managed to stay in 3rd place for the remainder of the race - as I understand it, at the expense of Locutos - bad luck for that pitstop dude Mojo and Pablo were way out in front - too fast for my little Saleen on the day. Thanks to the NGTs for being very fair during lapping

hi all, a good race
i think that the finals results are bad to because i finished in the same lap of winner 38 laps, but in the result i have +1lap 37, when the player that finished 7 is in the 5th at the results.
can we have the Unofficial Lapchart ? so can we see that.
I finish 6th but in the same lap of the winners. something is wrong .
Thanks all for the great fun.

Unofficial LapchartThese lapcharts are created directly from the server results, so if they are messed up, so will the chart, sorry for that, nothing I can do.

The export shows you only completing 37 laps - DNFing on the last lap.

Pretty sure I was in 7th." Thx

Funny old race for me.
Was quite happy with my qualification, squeezing into 2nd (NGT class) behind Luke. Being heavy on fuel and with cold mediums I was struggling to keep the guys behind me at bay. Heavy contact with Chunky on the 2nd lap sent us both spinning off.
From there on I enjoyed trying to catch up and had a nice little battle with Mr Picnic.
Must have had a pretty slow pitstop because he was back in front after we'd done both of ours.
Then everyone disappeared and I realised I'd been dumped by my ISP.
18hrs later and I've only just managed to reconnect.
Oh well, it was fun whilst it lasted
Jon

VIDEOHere is a 7,5 minute video from the race. Both Masters and Academy are in it. This way you get to have a peak at what happened in the other server It's 60mb. FilefrontGoogle Video P.S The video keeps running for black after the footage for 10s, I forgot to remove that . You can just close it, there won't be any bloopers at the end

I've looked at the replay and clearly Merlin and Gomes were dropped as they finished their 38th and final lap. I'll look into how to best correct the results tomorrow.
