2nd race practice has started 20 mins

Laguna is a great track!

I had a good race today even though i ran out fuel half way around the track on the the last lap of R1

Race 2 was better, hung in there pretty good with a few of the other drivers, got to see some cool sparks made by i think Rupe and Denis while i was following them on their approach to the Corkscrew

@Steven Walker , sorry about the tag at T5. That was my bad, thought you were going to carry your speed out of the turn.

All in all another fun session, good racin' guys

Overall real good fun last night,
The Alpine was an easier car to get the lap times with, but i have seen guys drive that porker so well and keep up and out run the alpine, in the league its all track dependent, what this did do last night was bring the group closer together in one of the races,

I made a couple of errors in the races getting to close to cars going into corners due to different breaking zones, but overall had some great battles in both races,

There were a couple of errors i did see on looking at the replays if you go off track you cant just pull back on you must look wait if need be until the track is clear, and when you do come back on track,keep of the racing line and get up to race speed before pulling back onto the race line prime example of this is the 2nd blue alpine just pull back on track just before the last bend i had no were to go Bang big smash... So please think about this....

If you are being lapped hold you line just drive as normal let the car thats overtaking you make the move to go round you then you can help by lifting of the gas, dont try to get out of the way just drive your car as normal. The faster car has the speed to go round you , if this happens coming into a corners or series of bend, the same again hold your line as normal if you see the overtaking car coming round you lift to help him get by,
There is no need to drive off track at all you are still in a race yourself.. remember we do this for fun and enjoyment This club is about the driving not the win at all cost...

If a car has the right to the corner he is turning in to the apex you cant just dive bomb the inside line to get by. we dont do that in GTL you have to be along side going into the corner to have the right to drive the inside line but your not allowed then to run him out wide off the track on exit of the corner.

if you tap a car going into a corner and he wobbles, you dont have the right to overtake him. We pass clean and fair, back off and wait until the next bend.

And of course dont forget the golden rule if contact is made and he goes off you must wait for him to return to the track before you can start to race yourself.
if the car is already spinning or crashing due to his own action or you are behind the guys crashing you dont have to stop it not your fault..but please be careful when overtaking an incident.
dont look to gain an advantage over other drivers in front who might lift for it..

If you want to ask any questions you can about driving i will do my best to answer them..

thanks guys great night of racing...
