Holy Wreckfest Batman!
Just did 2nd slot Oceania with our 'eagle' eyed friend, a kung fu fan and an old academic. Also had some friends in there, like @D_Dragline. It was a total demo derby in the pack.
Door 18, get a 0.5 track limit penalty on my first hot lap so both were ugly, but qualified p17 as 1 person quit. Not super excited as me and this car are enemies, but hopeful.
Start and there is some barging, pushing and penalties. I gain a few spots lap 1. Same continues, then I settle into a mid pack grouping and just hang on. Trying to not battle unless I really need to go on order to preserve my tires. I have 1 accidental bump of our ninja exiting the final turn, but give him room. He proceeds to door slam me a few times and brake check me, as well as pushing me wide at dunlop. I ignore it all and just cruise.
Pit end of lap 8 for RM and come out p15, but right behind several cars. They proceed to go batpoop nuts. 2 of them have a massive battle wrecking them both, including a spin out on the main straight. I pass another straight up, then pass ninja with a slight side tap on dunlop. He decides to go nuclear but ends up taking out the other guy at the chicane. I am cruising and figuring it is p11 for me when on the last lap the 2 in front have at it into turn 1, 1 person gets a penalty, they dont like it and at the 90degree left they kill the other one at full speed.
A rather exciting but sort of surprising and undeserved p9.
With the new penalty system, baby those tires, keep it calm and keep your head on a swivel. They gettin crazy out here.
Mine was a garbage beer to bring up the way I feel about that car. I saw you in a black car, I think, but wasnt sure as I started around a John Player Special as well. Always good to share the track with you.👍What an absolutely bizarre race it was. I did minimal practice and it showed. Couldn’t hook up a decent lap to save myself and I do not like that car.
But, the aggravation around me was off the charts. I got pushed wide by the Kung fu master and the academic but boy oh boy the Eagle and his combatant took things to a whole new level. Blocking, punting, door bashing and brake checking, all within half a lap. The really worrying thing was they both finished with a blue S.
I finished p15 and won’t go again. Be careful out there everyone, it’s gang warfare.
By the way @Redneckchef it was good to be battling beer brands.
Well, I was trying to be polite but yeah, not a beer I drink.
Coopers have some good stuff. I'll drink to that.
It seems to have been to more accurately model what you would be expected to do. It's over 20 seconds for Fuji. But with everyone having to put it isnt all that bad.

Yes. They are now all 4 hours.
I don't know if anyone has confirmed this, is Laguna Seca 3 weeks now as that one was long enough before. I agree that some were too short, but some seemed right before. So I'm trying LC now, but can't remember the loss before 23 till in and about a 22 loss. Think it was 16 before so think they've done a good job.
Nice livery. Is that Excelsior? As a part time gambling man, was always guaranteed money for a goal fest in Dutch Div 1 Friday night gamesGood luck for the season!
Never mind I can make this work. Well that was fun, bumper cars for 2 laps then someone dives into the chicane obviously can't turn until they're nearly stopped and I spin him off getting 3 secs, then after serving the pen I get rammed and get another sec. I quit and I don't know if I'll try again, this is worse than the oversensitive pens, at least then some players tried to avoid contact now it's just which car should I hit to get round the corner quickest.
The final overtake happened on the last corner. I had been closing in on the Frenchman for quite a while, probably thanks to fresher tyres. I switched from Mediums to Hards at the end of lap 7.
