take a look at the replay at Silverstone...

...k i'll look in to it...sounds fishy

I understand...Racing can be frustrating when things happen on track! Seen racers fight with helmets on over events that happened on track! (the funniest and stupidest thing I ever seen). So, I am ok with the banter. Just no personal attacks.

This is racing and its competitive. I like the fire in you guys! Everyone wants a clean race. I do say this...If you (shoe fits?) are racing closely and you are not sure when the person in front of you is going to brake for a corner you should do 1 of two things...get from behind and brake off line or brake earlier until you have figured out if and when you can try to out brake or brake safely behind the racer in front of you.

The strategy is where racers will show they have figured out what racing is really about...Figuring out where your car is stronger, the opponents car is weaker and where to make a pass that is safe or not too risky that will stick. But even if you get the pass the guy you just passed probably wants his spot back and is going to try to take it back. Blocking is not a means to prevent that. If he takes it back I guess you the racer has to try to take it back again...Guess what? Now you two are racing!

While watching this video pay attention to the VERY FIRST live action pass attempt and think..."is/was that me?"

Wow, that video is so true (obviously because its coming from professionals) but it just makes sense...why risk your car on a shady move that might take you out of the race completely?

Others have said this, I have said this, some people are just too impatient/immature to make a clean pass. As much as I agree with the vid and wish we could have racers drive like they have some sense, it just won't happen. I like racing with most of you, we have great battles but others don't understand when and where to attempt a pass. But oh well, that's racing I guess. On to the next!

HOW TO PASS

a long time coming. I'm glad I actually won this particular race, definitely one of the tracks I wanted to win, especially considering Mazda won 24 hours back in the day with the 787b...a lot of variables came into play for me this week and I guess the rotary gods and the spirit of the 787b was watching over me for this one...definitely a sweet victory.

Yeah brad was on just his right front wheel for what seemed like forever

Yeah I must say thank you for backing off a little when you seen that, I know a lot of other people would have tried to pass and caused a crash it was so funny in b lobby with you guys though

im happy with them results, got 3rd but after lap 2 i was basically upfront on my own with basicblaq keeping his nose im my mirror waiting for a mistake but unfortunate for him he made a mistake, i nearly lost it like twice and scraped the wall once but what a fun race in b lobby with you guys, it was a right laugh and im glad a qualified in b lobby haha

It can be done. I've done it here. Just a lot of people here don't understand that idea. Congrats on finally taking less down!

Damn, 11th place again. What's it take to get a top ten?

C Lobby seemed wild for both classes. Hate to see my team involved in the drama. What do you expect from the Heavy Hitters? But seriously, I assure you they don't race dirty, it just seems trouble follows them everywhere lately. Sheiza happens. Regardless, Nein Shiza picked up some spots and moved into the top 10. After a slow start to the season we just keep picking them off, and now it's time to go Lizard hunting, boys.

Great racing with jpn the whole race. We both scared each other a couple of times, but you were always courteous and kept it clean. I knew I had something for you on the last lap, and once you lagged out in front of me, it actually distracted me so bad that I forgot where I was and ran off track. That's where I lost those 5 seconds to you. I'll see everyone in the Dirty-Dirty.

Congrats to everyone mentioned above by Pred, especially my homeboy Sublime! Good job man.

Finally! Haha Winning at a prestigious track like Le Mans is an awesome feeling, especially after what happend there last season. It's a huge win for me but more importantly my team. Can't wait to see the No.440 Lizard on the FSCS home page! Thanks to Pred, roscoe, and rox for the congrats. Huge thanks to my teammate Sambinksey for staying in the race after steering failure, major help for our team brother!!! Congrats to Red rotor, good run man, I know it wasn't easy!!! Thanks again and see you all in Braselton!!!

Congrats Sublime and Rotor!

Everyone at the Lionheart Autosport offices and Maniac Racing woiuld like to congratulate Sublime and Red Rotor on their wins at Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe!! Also, a congrats to Snowman539 and iTsz BrAdSz on earning Hard Charger!!

The 1 Lamborghini would have had a good race if it hadn't been for the second chicane. I would just like to apologize to the Lionheart/Maniac guys that worked on the car so hard. Keep up the good work!! Let's go get them at Road Atlanta!

From Practicing last night with a few of the GTC/GT guys it looks like Hot lana is going to be a very close races. It will be interesting to see the qualify times

Alpha Racing Int. would like to extend a big congrats to the Sublime and the entire Flying Lizards fam on their 1st win. We would also like 2 congratulate Red Rotor on his 1st win also.

We raced hard but the gaps were too wide to close, but there's always Hot Lanta...

To all the other racers... we'll see u there.

Congrats Sublime and Rotor. Sublime hopefully this momentum will carry on for the rest of the season. I had commented a few days ago but my post was deleted.
