GT2s were well on form with the passing, allowing the GT1 battle to rage on. Thanks guys. It can not have been easy with 3 fighting cars to let passed at one time.
I know that I slowed Teammate Lazlow at one point when he was lapping me, because he couldn't see my car at all in the race, just my 'tab' label. I had the same thing with you H@L, couldn't see your car except for the 'tab' label. Shocked the life out of me one time as there was suddenly an engine roaring next to my car & then your name tag overtook me!  |

That is strange Legzy  I dont think I have heard of that issue before. I think/hope that I could see everyone ok.  What could have caused that? Most peculiar. |

I had that during the inter-league race yonks ago. Leaders came through but could only see the tags. I ended up coliding with one of them but as soon as i stopped the cars appeared. Might just be GTR2's number of cars setting that tends to just do your local group, might not have updated when new cars appeared.

Check your number of visible cars.

Nice idea, but it wasn't that. It happened twice, both well into the race. One time there was only H@L & TT(?) in vision. |

Happened to me in practice. Can't remember who it was but they were driving a Team Psuedo Lister. After 30 seconds it loaded them, but it never mentioned it was at any point. |

This was a strange race for me. Quailed quite well behind teamie H@l who gave me a scare on the start when it seemed like he forgot to realease his limiter Turn 1 got punted, recovered and then had slight tap with another car which made us both spin so was down to 6th i think. Got going again and caught the guys up front but couldn't get really close until a few of them had mistakes and was up to 3rd or 4th. Pitted just after halfway and amazingly seemed to jump the 3 ahead of me with a 4 second gap. Expected them to catch me pretty quick but somehow they never did and i even pulled away, (guess them fighting each other slowed them down). One other scary moment was when i was lapping a GT2 and as i flashed my lights to say thank you for letting me pass i caught the downshift paddle which threw me from 3rd gear straight to 1st which knocked 10% off my engine health  Have to say sorry to Blunder hope i didn't cost you anything. |

When this happens, try pressing "+" and then "-" or viceversa (you switch to next/previous car view and back to yours) and see if the other cars appear. Works for me |

No worries these things happen! Shame I didn't get to see how my pit strategy worked out due to a rear puncture but these things happen! Had a fantastic first half of the race with JPS. Was all over him for many laps, fantastic fun. I did eventually get past but JPS made me work really hard for it!  Thanks all, great fun M. |

Here are a few 30 second clips from the race showing what fun I had: Class. Love 1, 3 & 4. Lovely bit of opportunism by TT(?) in vid1... & just no way past in 3 & 4 |

& just no way past in 3 & 4 Yep, was soooo hard to find a way past. Once one of us did get past, we were under attack again straight away. It was relentless. |

Beautifuly done, H@l.  Yes, the trio battle was something the most difficult I've seen here and I count myself lucky to be able to get out of it in front of you and Jose. Gazza is more than lucky. Consider our 4-way fight!  TT P.S. You couldn't put those vids in one? |
