Yes....it was a great race for the 4th spot(between retward, Jeckel and Basic(Great Race you two)).....I still can't believe I got damage in a spot that I had no problem in during practice...It should be interesting since no one in B room gave up their starting postion(or should I say the ppl that finished in Gt didn't give up there position.

ran like garbage...amazed at the turnout lol, you scared me gambit. good race everyone. lol @ pred.

I take it that he's lucky streak for 2013 continues LOL!!!

i really wish i didn't lagg out again so i could see where i finished

I apologize for not rechecking the grid order pred thats my bad

what was wrong with the grid

I was in 1st! For a whole 2 laps! But man, I hate not being able to pass through the corners. Zondas and RUFs are...uh...a little quick on the straights.

Yea it was pretty awsome battle for 4th position....after getting into the pits and back out the cold tires did me wrong man, I started to make mistakes on part of the track where i know very well After making all those mistakes basic caught up to me pass and just left me like i had the hand brakes up lol. Oh yeah jeckel finally caught me as well...dont know what the hell happened there but never the less it was a good race still. See you guys on Infenion

Last night was probably my worst performance as far as the way I drove. I've had worse races but only because I have wrecked. When it comes to just racing, I was way off my game. I don't think it would have made a difference though. Those Astons were fast. By the time I got past the other cars, lap three or so, the Astons had about a four second lead. After another two laps I realised I was done for. Each lap I lost a full second. I couldn't believe how fast those cars were around this track. I have a suspicion that next week will be the exact same scenario. There's no reason that every Aston could hit a 24 second lap and the rest of the field could only run 26. Something is a little off there. If I had not run so closely with these guys for the first part of the season I would question my skills as a driver. Oh well though, top five is nothing to complain about. One more terrible week of racing before the caddy gets to roar again. See everyone at infineon, Sonoma.

Also, great run Roca. I though you could pull it off. Way to hang with the aliens.

I do not know about the other Aston Martin's but I was not hitting 24 second laps at all. I was hitting high 25's for most of the race only towards the end I managed to get into the low 25's consistently. (dont know why I could not have done that early on considering)

I cant complain about where I finished either, but disappointed I could not have done better considering the PI advantage I have over the other DBS's of RPM racing, certainly makes me want to get the bottle out. (I hope next race I will be able to adjust my cars current upgrades to see if their is something I am doing wrong)

Next race it will be a battle between the Porsches and Aston Martins, because of the track favouring the more mechanic grip of the Porsche and the Aston Martin's superior acceleration and high speed agility (that bit won't really help towards the end of the lap mind you) not forgetting how many Aston Martin's there are in GS.

thats saying the Cadillac's have the best brakes out of all the cars in GS so you never know.

congrats to RPM racing though for such a dominant race, I am unsure on how many times that has happen in FSCS with a team 1, 2, 3 but I doubt it happens much

I agree with you about next week but how do the caddies brake the best? They're terrible. Porsches and Astons will outbrake this caddy all day long. From my experience anyways. I run Porsche in public lobbies and I've run a series in the Vantage. That thing is sick. It would be tough for me to find a more perfect car.

As far as next week goes, the track is one of my favorite tracks. When it comes to an American road course, we finally did something right for a change. As far as the car I'm in, well I'm looking at another disappointing week. Lets just hope my love for the track will make up for it. I actually know the proper racing line for this track and have logged tons of laps. That's an accurate count also, don't question me, I count by weight not numbers, if you don't then you're wrong. I'm from America and I do what I want. I want to count by weight, I DO IT!

Oh and um.......

NEIN SHIZA!!!!!

you are probably right in practice its just the ratings on the game does suggests its stronger on the brakes department, if I recall the caddy has brakes of 6.9 and my vantage has 6.7 brakes. But as you said in practice you are probably right because of the weight etc and cant say really I do not drive the Cadillac very often at all.

I am sure you will do very well all things considered, plus you are a good racing driver and as you said you know this track very well.

Well, when the only cars that qualify in the 25's for GS class are Aston Martins you have to wonder. 3 different cars are within 3 tenths. Makes u wonder is all. Not tryingg to stir anything up, just stating the facts. I will also say that one driver in an Aston is just an awesome driver (the one with the lowest PI). Great race, looking forward to next week.

Last season I would have agreed with you killer. But I have gained a lot of respect for several drivers in gs this season. In the past when I have raced them for some reason the competition wasn't there. This season there are a few people who I now respect and enjoy racing that I either had never raced or just simply didn't consider a threat. This season has opened my eyes to the level of competition there is. This is by far my best season here. Not in terms of point standings or winning, more in the competition and rivalries that have formed. Great racing so far to everyone. Lets keep it up.

All the aston car's were all tuned by the same guy. Just stating the facts. Makes you wonder.

I'm not implying cheating or anything of that nature. Those team are good to say the least. Point of having the series and PI adjusts is to balance the field.

Fact- Porshe and caddie teams were turned by the same guy. All ran within a second of each other also except 1 caddie. Same builds-same time- 1 second slower. Makes u wonder.
