Just the last.If you do multiple time slots, does it keep your best of the night? Or just the last race that you did?

Well, that was....not good??? Q19, finished P14, no mistakes, clean race bonus, 2 nice overtakes and all. Lost 600 DR points
Most drivers were B like me, we had maybe 4 C drivers that qualified pretty well. I just don't understand what happened DR-wise.
I did too many laps on M tires in retrospect, could've done 2 less but it's alright. All these FIA Races have been a blast!
Screw it, slow as I am, I'm going again. Can't do worse than 18th, right?
I feel these might be famous last words ....

I Jumped into slot one tonight and found myself in a lobby that had me ranked LUCKY No.13! What....and I was on the 6 6 6 strategy. What could possibly go wrong? LOL. I was joined by GT Planet racers @Winnie847 , @Granadier , and @Razgriz2118 ....along with many many other familiar names. Unfortunately for me, I was joined by two more Sciroccos and an Audi TT. So, our lobby had a total of 4 FF cars. BLAST! My evil plan to dominate ended right there. LOL. I qualified in p2 with a 1:59.14x, only a tenth off the TT who took pole and not much further in front of p3 in another Scirocco. I was pushing on the car a bit too much instead of letting it float, and it showed up in the latter part of each stint. Tires tires tires. I also captured Winnie's incident after I saw it go down from behind. After the checkered flag dropped, I finished p3 and got 223 points. Happy with that, so I ducked out to let you FR drivers have some fun.
Great video man, always a pleasure racing with you. "Work smarter not harder" is a great philosophy that I wish the people I raced against last night also subscribed to. I knew you guys would break away early on, but after a few laps I was typically able to close the gap to the FF runners on laps 4-6 in my Hyundai. The guy ahead of me on the first stint wasn't really on the same page and wanted to fight...which is his right to do so, it's just not the smartest choice in a strategy race. The other guy on my 2nd stint, there's really no excuse for. He's a rager I've had issues with before. He literally cost us both the chance at a better result by fighting me aggressively and then punting me, which allowed one of the guys who caused an incident on the first stint to get by and finish P4 when he really had no business being there if we had all raced smarter. I'm glad it worked out for you but I was really hoping for the chance to fight you for P3. Congrats!

I think you were in my top split race with Grove and Windfire; Merc driver right? Your connection was pretty bad throughout the race from my view. Causing our places to jump back and forth, and at one point your car was even stopped on the side of the track and then it teleported back to in front of us. Seemed like things were going well again before you spun. Sorry to hear.What a frustrating evening. First race actually went well. Qualied 3rd and finished there. Gained some much needed DR. Went again because I wanted more than 180 points. Got put into top split with 43k dr for some reason... Finished 2nd to last. Lost everything I gained in the first race so went again! DC'd after 5 laps, lost for dr and sr (lost from 2 small rear taps). Looked like 4 others got dc'd from that race. So went for the 4th slot. Dc'd in the lobby. And that's all she wrote. Zero fun was had last night.
That race
Great synopsis video @Razgriz2118. Looking at it from multiple angles I can see how early my braking was into Le Source. Intentional to try and avoid the mob chaos ahead, but unfortunately opened the door to littlenew to dive on the inside which triggered the next cluster. Maybe people should avoid that tempting dive bomb on lap 1 no matter how open it may look In my opinion it wasn't really your fault since the line you took would've given me plenty of room if I didn't have another Viper shoving me wide from the inside.
Well, this has been quite a topsy-turvey week of racing for me.

This combo was so chaotic, I had to make a commentated highlights video of the two races I participated in.

In short, Race 1 was with @Granadier , @sk1719 , and some other regulars I've raced with before. I turn into @Granadier into La Source after the start and spin myself, causing one incident, while another driver goes too deep into La Source at the start and punts a few people. That incident causes another crash as the punted person tries to get back on track, and the person who went too deep slows to the side to let people pass, except they ricochet off the 2nd pit entrance and some more crashes happen. Around six people have penalties to serve on Lap 1. After that my race wasn't too exciting. I fell back to P19 and recovered to P13 on a two-stop.
Race 2 was with @Geauxgreddy , @csmirnoff , and a few other regulars, including some people from the first race. This time, @Geauxgreddy , I, and another person are set to go into La Source 3-wide, but then someone divebombs up the inside and turns it into 4-wide completely unaware that we were already pretty wide through the corner already, shoving us all out, causing me and @Geauxgreddy to lose a ton of time as we get shoved off the track. I get a 4 second penalty and drop to last, and I decide to switch to the 3 stop since we were all stuck and fighting behind slower traffic. In the end, that paid off as I recovered back up to 7th place. There was some bad blood between two drivers that was an overarching battle all throughout the race.
Manufacturer's Round 4, Time Slot 1
Yeah, not much to say or show here. Got placed in a room with @Geauxgreddy , @Granadier , and @Winnie847 , and I was completely outclassed. I qualified 19th and finished in 20th. I accidentally spun myself once, accidentally went way-too hot into a corner once when drafting a Porsche, and got rammed off by an oblivious Karen-type who thinks everything is someone else's fault, which I posted a video of earlier. But despite these incidents, realistically I was fighting for 18th at best. So, one-and-done with this combo, it definitely wasn't a good one for me.
