That was me, I'm so sorry about that. A yellow GT-R got sideways across the track just as I was approaching, and I lost control trying to dodge it. Held on to the brakes as much as I could but there was nowhere to go, that literally was the narrowest part of the track.
Finished in last and had a blast! Till next weekend
Thanks again @Chris Down.
@Bertje that could be a viral video
No worries man. Couldn't be helped. I should have slowed down but decided to roll the dice and keep the foot down. Don't know how i didn't do the exact same thing as you and take someone out when I hit the wall afterwards and spun right out onto the racing line. I guess there was no one left moving to hit me!
I had a good race overall.
From starting 18th to what very briefly must have been nearly 10th place... I ended up 23rd after the carnage. Terrible first quarter. I got taken out at turn one of lap 2 also and ended up back in 25th...
2nd quarter @GEO147 emerged from the pits and I got a bit of a tow and up to 20th at half way. Gained a place then during all the pit stops. With a long 2nd stint of consistant times and no traffic I was able to put just enough pressure on stefanos gt-r to close to within 4 seconds and i think play some part in him agonisingly spin out on the last corner with 2 laps to go and take 18th.
My best race to date. I was happy in the end to make the top 20, have no unforced errors and not get lapped for the first time in gt3. 3 long term sim goals accomplished
See you all next week.
Nice door to door racing for a bit there John.
That might have been me. I was P15 after the start. After turn 1, I tried to avoid the yellow car, but hit him slightly. I was nervous. Then tried to take the 2nd turn and there you were ... I was accelerating but you were not moving at the same speed and I didn't get that in time to avoid you so bumped slightly in your rear. I was pissed off at my mistake and waited for you to come back. then I was again at race pace ... for one corner ... when some car just teleported into the same space as me and the game decided that I should be the one who should go outside the track ...
Great race last night! In practice I was still hesitating about the tyres. On softs I was faster but the left rear was in the red temperature in the last sector which made it very tricky. I decided for consistency so for the mediums. Totally screwed up my qualify by using race configuration by mistake. The race went very well starting 33th and finishing 9th. Seeing the lap times of the guys in front of me, I wouldn't have had a better result with a normal qualification. Thanks everyone for joining, full grids are so much more fun especially with mandatory pitstops. And special thanks for @Chris Down for organising.
Was it you who caressed my rear bumper at the end of the main straight?Nice door to door racing for a bit there John.
