After quitting out of a lap my GTL broke, and was not going to let me rejoin.
Hope you all have a good'un

After I was spun out on the opening lap I got a little to aggressive in trying to make time back. I spun two cars on consecutive laps. After that I was too disgusted with my driving to continue and exited the race. Sorry to whoever I hit.

Had a great start from the back and was then taken out before even reaching T1  Ended up on the wrong track which put me way down when I eventually rejoined. Lost interest and quit after a couple of laps. I know this is stock cars, but it's pointless racing under these rules. We may aswell have figure 8 racing, it's much more fun. |

Nice race, nice fights and limited contact to some door2door scrubbing on straights  Actually was fighting for position with Legzy, PR (I believe) and some others and then, then.. :'( |

Apparently my car was flashing before the race restarted both times, don't know whether it caused it or vice versa.
I think I was the only one driving the #13 GT500, that could also be related.

Was interesting starting mid-pack each race. There was certainly some rubbing. I dished out a bit of side to side action too, but nothing that would take anyone out. In start #2, someone went way, way left to block me (no problem here), but missed the brake zone and drilled another car. Not sure who was involved. The mixed grid is going to shake things up even more than normal with cars on different pace and braking points mixed in the field.
Too bad we couldn't finish. I take off of work to do these races. In the future... it may make sense to have a stock backup track in the event something like this happens. The R2P does just that in situations like these. We've had to use it on more than one occassion with P&G.

OK, so it seems like it all went a bit Pete Tong tonight. Sometimes it doesn't matter how many ways you test tracks, you only really know if they are trouble on race night. I hope most of you were able to have some fun. Unfortunately as I wasn't there I don't know if the results are correct or not but I'm sure you will tell me  Also the replay file gives me CTD so I've not even been able to watch a race. At least next time it's at Portland where we have raced before. Hope to see you all there, and once again my apologies for this evening. |

Thanks Mike, but it's the finishing order that is of the most concern.

Really... that's pretty fast considering we didn't have a qually   So a bit of a surprise anyone has a "qually" time. Tony, I think you've posted the results from race 2 there... you need to swap it to Race one mate, when everyone was there (despite me finishing last ). p.s. sorry again PR.  |

You were right next to me at both race starts Tibs & you looked fine both times to me. You drove pretty well too, from what I saw  The R2P does just that in situations like these. We've had to use it on more than one occassion with P&G. Mike, could you PM me any tracks that you can recall that had problems from else where please. Can only help us. Thanks |

Tony, I think you've posted the results from race 2 there... you need to swap it to Race one mate, when everyone was there (despite me finishing last ). Does that mean the replay currently available is also the wrong race? |

To finish first, first you must have fins.  |

Yep, it probably does, give me 10mins and I'll try to sort it.
EDIT: No I think it's the correct replay file.
