Race Recap and Incident Report
ST
Livery Infraction- None
Great clean race. There were a few lil bumps here and there but all were racing incidents. No Avoidable or negligent contact was noted.
We will watch the full replay again just to be sure.
GS
Livery Infraction Warnings- None
Great replay to watch! No Avoidable contact noted.
GT
Livery Infraction Warnings- f1crzd {R} - Window Tint on Vehicle - Please remove prior to next race or a penalty of 5pts will be assessed.
Terrible Terrible start's this race. The middle of the field just could not seem to get through the first three turns without collecting one another. After 3 or 4 races with near perfect starts this was a bit of a disappointment.
ROSCOEpCOTRAIN- Lap 1 Turn 1 - Into turn 1 the cars get a little backed up and R3troD goes out wide and double taps the brakes then gets on the brakes while ROSCOEpCOTRAIN is right behind him. It appears ROSCOEpCOTRAIN was ready for the first braking action but was not for the second and hits R3troD causing some damage to both cars. Lots of cars in the area, lots of action. Penalty- Race Incident.
f1crzd {R} - Lap 1 between turns 7 and 8 - f1crzd goes wide and off into the grass and dirt then returns to the track directly into the middle of the path of oncoming traffic. Luckily he did not collect any racers. Penalty - Warning. When you go off track you CANNOT return onto the track and into the path of incoming racers forcing them to avoid you. Do not return to the racing surface until you can do so safely or not in the path of oncoming traffic.
MrGRiMP {R}- Lap 2 the straight between turns 3 and 5 -MrGRiMP {R} in the #713 Chevrolet Corvette Racing ZR1 made more than one move to prevent 3 different pass attempts by the#62 Porsche Carrera GT of f1crzd. Blocking Warning. Blocking is not allowed. You get one move to prevent a pass.
The LSA- Lap 3 Random Lag spike just causes his car to hit invisible wall and spin out with major damage. BLOWN MOTOR

I sent a pic to Pred to correct my time, which also shows the correct time for Phiib - 1:53:47. He'll also get a DNQ penalty, so the times will be further adjusted in any case.

He is a mighty fast one on that wheel. I wonder how many more races he will make? I heard that he might come back for season 11 due to the challenge placed against NSzA.

trying to figure out how the mustang wins catalunya, a handeling track, then we go to road america and it cant keep up with the leader.. its been a weird season.
I've been telling you for weeks now that you need a race suspension in your car. My 520 mustang is faster than my fusion...and it has a race suspension and stock horsepower.

How are you competing at all without a race suspension? That things got to handle and brake like doody.

This came up recently about stock setups on Fujimi I think - people just get used to driving a certain setup and they become competitive. Personally, it took me some time to switch from Sport suspension to Race when I came here - felt weird and too hard at first after running only on Sport in the past, but I like it better now, and slowly figuring out the right settings....

There are some really really fast guys that run sport but it really depends on your expertise.
Could you please send me the tune if possible to see if I could use it on the upcoming Camino race?
Thank you,

If you run a soft suspension, bump up the ride height. Trust me, with it as soft as it is the car will sit just as low still and you wont get that damage. When you bottom out like that you are losing a tenth or more each time.
Also... I do have a *free* tune shop for anyone that needs some help on a track.
I will work to make it as best i can. Which reminds me, F1CRZD i have been working on that Carrera for the last few weeks and i have it controllable. The thing is for it to be fast (at least for me) the oversteer is kind of needed to get it around certain corners. I have been trying to make it neutral for weeks.

All I could see the first few laps were those huge-a$$ Caddy...um, asses..... Was like an impenetrable wall of brightly-colored pseudo-stealth technology.

I'll admit that she isn't always the most gracious or forgiving but when you treat her right, she knows how to perform. She can be nasty when the time calls for it. That's what I love about her, so elegant and beautiful when she's sitting still and when it is time to get rough, she is the roughest.
That picture of us about to go four wide at the start where you see all the micro cars and then the three big girls reminds me of that old queen song, fat bottom girls.
