Apologies for double-posting but there's too much media for me to merge them.
Nations North America
Slot 1
I chose the Toyota again for this one (Door 3), which I put into P4 and only missing out on at least P2 due to one poor corner. I was cautious this time, gaining and losing a place on the way to the hairpin, but, on the way down from it, I was punted off by the P8 RCZ, sending us both onto the grass, but with me facing the wrong way as he continued unpenalised in P14. I meanwhile rejoined dead last, P19.
I'd got back up to P6 by Lap 5 and was finally on the tail of the P5 Subaru on Lap 10. He took a turn way too tight in order to cut me off from passing on the inside, which actually allowed me through after the contact. He'd been cutting most corners pretty tight but that one was for only one reason. He took the next one even tighter, for a 0.5s penalty and then simply smashed into my left rear corner by cutting the following corner. No further penalty to him but I was P7 to his P5 after digging myself out of the gravel. His excuse afterwards? He'd locked up!
That same car moved over late to block the RCZ in front of us just before deghosting from his corner-cutting penalty and Karma had its say:
Lap 12 was then nip and tuck between me and the RCZ I'd been behind, but I passed for P5 and P4 the following lap. I held that until the final lap when the RCZ hit my rear right at the second timing line, cut the corner, then forced me onto the grass on the left (for no penalty), dropping me to P5 by the time I could get back on the track. This guy's 'excuse' was I was "defending too aggressively".
55 points and a smashed-up car for my troubles.
I'd had enough by that point and decided to call it a day. I reckoned things could only get worse as the night wore on.

Starting last actually made things a lot easier!

Fortunately the current situation meant I didn't have to sign for my parcel and I was back behind the wheel before i got a penalty or DQ! But I resumed just in time to get bump-passed by the Porsche.
After showing him how to do an inside pass at Turn 1 without contact or overshooting, he did manage to regain the place but he tried to drift slightly in front of me before the right-hander and the tap he got made him mess up the corner - into the gravel. Oh well, Karma said Hi! (See incidents video).
