joe truck and polar, the reason I used the v8super car is I had discussed using it with niz before he launched bankfin, if you read the second ever post on this thread I clearly state, "put me in the aussie car" but niz didn't have it to spec so I spec'd it as close to the rest of the field as I could, the reason it has 355BHP is it weighs 1350KG, he didn't think it was fair to have it compete against all the super lights that the rest of the field is, and having "high down force dont mean ____ to me as to keep it fair to the rest of you I dont run more then 20 points on the nose and 35 more on the tail, as 50 and 70 would be really unfair, and for those going to Fuji next week you will see just how much of a disadvantage has on a track with a long straight, I think I'm going to be approximate 20kph down on the field at the end of the straight,
and for those who want to just bad mouth everyone else on their said driving standards, I've got both replays saved, I'm very certain I could find 2 incidents easily that were created by all of you, ie, turn 1, lap 1, both races, I brake late intentionally to go wide as I know there is always 1 person in every and any field that stumbles, but to be moved out of the way by 6 people the first race is just stupid, 4th to 12-14th in the first lap, and if people say you cant overtake "clean" as on a tight track there is always going to be some rubbing, watch my overtake on lap 5, turn 1 race 2, I aimed for the outside, went 3 wide with flanked and another gent got a tap in the rear and gained 2 spots, but this is Tsukuba, there are bound to be incidents between cars so evenly matched,
also @joe, if your referring to the incident down the back stretch out of the hairpin, I did all I could to avoid you, but you continued to close the door/ apex late, that time round I honestly thought you had sighted me and were giving me room, the 70% around the hairpin you come right down across my nose, If you watch it you will see me brake but no where to go,
skengD, the incident we had on lap 2 or 3, race 2 turn 1 exit, I wasn't going for a pass, I was just trying to keep out of the way and expected you and the CR-Z not to come back to that side of the track, the weird part of that incident is it looked like at the time and still does on my replay that the actual incident the cars barely touch, but they touch square to I didn't understand why your car rotated like it had been in a P.I.T manouver,
ATIN, when your being caught at 1.8 seconds a lap, run wide under the bridge and slide all the way to the braking zone and block the inside line, then come back to the outside line to block when I'm already trying to avoiding an incident, you cant expect any other result,
I could bang on about this all day, but I'm not, there was some good close driving here, but there is always going to be incidents on such a tight narrow course, with more room at Fuji the racing is going to be so much cleaner and hopefully the finish is closer,
