Disappointing race for me. I was holding Matt off (which is quite a feat for me) until the cone bandit hit. After that I lost a sec/lap and he started reeling me in. In the end it didn't matter though, I had a small riot at my house with the kids going crazy when a pizza man couldn't find the right address and knocked on my door by mistake.

Awesome race though. During the beginning my heart was outside my damn shirt.

Lucky for me i couldnt get any more off than i was

Great race in A room GTR / GT. Got it right the first start and had one hell of a race for 50 laps!  That viper of GTDon was on my bumper for 20 of the last 25 laps until he had an electrical problem that slowed him down for a minute.

This season whoa!

That was going to be an epic finish, until my wheel paused.  But that's racin.  Rare is the day that all goes well.  Even Pred had his issues (that startled me).  Goin down the back straight he suddenly slowed way down making me think that maybe I was about to lag out or something, so I let off the gas which was a missed opportunity to pass him!  Turns out he had lost his TV sound and had to reset his TV. lol

Oh, and I'll save the gloating about the Viper dominance of the GT class for the Trash Talk thread, where it belongs. lol

Kami finished in 3rd and where were the vipers in GTR? I saw that Rum Bum Porsche going fast.

Didn't the GT Viper beat your GTR car Saint? lol

Yeah it was because i was in a FR V8! (look at my leaderboard time... its in a porsche )

Starting lap 15 I got taken out by Pred...was setting on a pass on the home straight when his Car Rubber banded me and caused me to have 100% damage to the point of non drivable...it just sucks since i turned at least 100+ test laps this last week tweaking the Porsche.
Guess Boo boo happens...try again next week hopefully :-P

During the line up lap for GT/GT-R will go down in top 5 funniest moments in the FSCS in my opinion. I dont even understand what was said just the bits and pieces and it was just too much.     

The denizens of Blobby had a quality race. I don't recall any contact amongst competitors mentioned over comms. The walls? A different story.

seems like a tough mark to hit at Sebring, which ones?

Yeah, Viper won at Sebring in GT..We will see how the big VIPER does at a track that demands handling prowess not brute force!! I heard you GULP at that!

Really? Someone is forgetting that Boostbeef won pole at Suzuka in the very same viper beating you and Metal.

right ppl dont know how good that viper is if you can tune.

I went a bit wide on Turn 17, somewhere around lap 13-14, to let Roscoe go by, broke loose and spun out.  My back bumper just kissed the barrier for some scratched paint and $4 damage.  That was a lucky one....

Yeah, I wasn't going quite that fast when I slid into the wall, but I was surprised I came away with only superficial damage.  I'll take dumb luck any day...

Most definitely. GT-R was rough for me :/ although the other races went well. GS i finished as high as i could have. Ill take that  

ST was a blast Gambit, i hope its as good at Suzuka  

Can i please be gifted B lobbies replay in GS please? Also, the GT/GT-R replays (all 3) as well? Thank you in advance.

Woulda been a better fight given u weren't hosting with a finiky connection. I just read that u lag hit another racer as well. I know its no fault of urs but I think its hard to know I'm a 2nd fster than ppl n get lapped 5 - 7 times by the same car. I felt like I was in a GS car

Prior to the GT race I went in and did a complete check of my connection. NAT settings, UPNP settings etc. On the phone with my ISP AND Xbox live. Both concluded after lenghty conversations and some small changes that I could NOT be the one lagging. I was running at 144mbps upload and 46mbps download moments before I started the race room. Both XBL and my ISP explained that if someone elses connection was poor it would cause them to have lag spikes and cars would jump around on their screen.

So sorry bud. But that's that Janky internet you have. Not me.

My net is bad but not that bad. But I'm not mad. It's just Predatory Racing Claimed a few more lag kills... lol no biggie.

Not going to lie though pred in ST it was scary. o.o

Still odd. However, I can't say anything about ST. It may have been me (rare but possible) But for GT / GTR I am positive is was not me. My internet was moving along with a strong connection and speed.

This race was great. B room for GTR was great. One thing if Sainted and or pred can add my team for GTR That would be cool lol. Its under Max's registration. Other then that great night hope everyone had fun.

I didnt see any lag at all in Gt/gtr. But you definitely were doing crazy things in ST as noted by my car being inside yours in that picture.
