Had a good race going, in first place trying to hold off bimmer and then i was lag hit by saintedplacebo giving me 100% damage everywhere. Good race while it lasted bimmer. See you all next week

I dont even know how that happened because i was not even on the oval yet. But lag is lag i guess, sorry that happened.

Yea i thought you were pretty far away. No hard feelings, its just one of those things that happens sometimes

I hear a certain race car had a hard time passing a few street car Vipers that can't turn worth a crap.

Maybe we could give you the number for our SRT engineers?

i honestly thought that i'd get my butt kicked because of my lack of speed in the car but due to a few lucky breaks and some consistent driving, i pulled it off! congrats bimmer on the GT win.

Just out of curiosity what were you running consistently? I was around the 28.5 range and i got blown away. lol but it is all good, great race none the less

faster than i had ever ran before. about 27.5-27.8

Sorry about that Gambit.

Hate to see your race ruined by AI.

i wasnt to sure how well i was going to do this race since i didnt qual and didnt really pratcice with anyone in the series. but the race started off and i was second to last after a few mistakes from people running up front i managed to get into 6th and after some good hard racing i managed to squeeze into 4th were i held that position for the remainder of the race......till lap 50.......when i got kicked into my own room right as i turned onto the back straight. i couldnt find my phone fast enough so now i end with a DNQ and a DNF woo fricken hoo. that was probly the best race i have ever had so far in the series. thanks themanowdog and black raven for the good racing. see you guys next week.

OUCH. that reminds me of when bluesmoke dnf'd before crossing the line at lemans.

Just watched A room replay about 4 times. Absolutely great racing by everyone. Replay carries up to Lap 17 almost 18.

The Lag for No Brakes was weird, all by himself and the car just jumped forward and into the wall almost collecting BIMM3RR. That was a hell of a race you were having till that point.

Great battle Pronebird we had at it those last 10 laps! If it wasn't for your slight error I think you finish second. Thanks for the gimme.

There were some other on track thangs that I was able to capitalize on which I had a front window seat to.

Congratulations to BIMM3RR and Raceboy77 on the win.

Sucks No Brakes, we were destined to have a good race it seemed. No telling which way it would have gone. I just don't understand what happened it was like you were right in front of me and then you exploded forwards into the wall? I never saw Sainted near us after turn 1 so that must have been an insane lag spike!

didnt have a hard time passing had a hard time avoiding divebombs and pit manuevers from your teamates, which cost me 2nd place at best

I admit I was and still am flared cause this is the forth race in a row where my race has gone to crap. however I wont deny we had some close and great racing at the time....but the pit and the divebombs are far from bumping and scraping and thats where it goes too far for me.

Well first id like to thank BIMMER WHOLE DIFFERENT CADDY.
Next...for the first race all season i ran a complete race...forgot how good it feels
Congrats to both winners
Ps....Hired time to feed the G.O.A.T.!!!

Yea we had lapped him the lap before on the front straight and so he had to be a good bit behind us but on my screen he exploded onto my screen going 1000mph going straight through me and then back again

Race room recap will be up by Tuesday evening.

Thats ok prone bird , I was really angry sunday , but I calmed done now. But I really think I couldn't avoid this Matthnt was to close because I had to slow done in the first 2 corners because of AI , and I am not going practice against AI to see in which straight lines they brake. I just hope that it is the last bad luck for me this season.

Race Room Recap and Incident Report


A Room

GT Rolling Start was very nicely done. A good single file line and a clean start.
GTC Rolling Start was good. Good single file no one jumped the start

Great racing with no contact at all for nearly the whole first half of the race. Considering how close the racing was this speaks to the level of drivers in the field.

Late in the race with positions on the line there were a few racers who got a little aggressive with one another. There was no egregious mistake made by any one driver. There will be no penalties issued due to the fact that all three racers mentioned below all participated in the aggressive driving the last few laps of the race.

Warning issued to Boostbeef{R} in the #71 Viper GTS, METAL C6R in the #65 Chevrolet Corvette Racing ZR1 & SSRT Pronebird in the #74 Viper GTS.

B Room

GT Rolling Start was very nicely done. A good single file line and a clean start.
GTC Rolling Start was good. Good single file line and a clean start.

Lap 4 - Minor contact in turn 1 between TheManNowDog777 in the #57 Pontiac G8 GXP & hannibaljazz 98 {R} in the #98 Porsche Caymen R. The two tried to go into turn 1 side by side and created minor contact. No Penalty issued.

Lap 5 - Lag Spike causes Warpig2011's #53 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to have a major incident with GLR Roca's #122 Porsche 911 Sport Classic (997). Both cars receive major damage that takes them out of the race.

5.5 - DNF Possible Points Rule:
5.5A - 3/4 or 75% of the race complete - Racer will earn 3/4 (75%) of the points for the position for which the DNF occurred (in case of fractional points it will be rounded down)

I believe you had 71 points before the penalty if you look at the following rule (sorry if i am wrong)

1st = 100pts - 2nd=94pts - 3rd=89pts - 4th=85pts - 5th=82pts - 6th=79pts - 7th=78pts - 8th=77pts - 9th= 76pts - 10th=75pts - 10th on down decreases 1pt per finishing position.
