That race really was impressively done by everybody. Literally there were 7 cars on top of each other for 30 minutes till the pit stops started, and even then the pack was simply split into two.

Did anybody get any damage the entire race? I noticed one spot Wander where I didn't leave you enough room outside under braking into turn 1, so I wanted to apoligize for that. Lap 7 maybe?
 
Nope, no damage. I think I was touched maybe 3 times the whole race. One time scared me a bit, a tap on my inside rear as I was on full throttle put me into a badass drift is all. At turn one once I dove in past the white line to ensure there was room for all, and any distance I cut was negated by my slow speed so no issue there. On lap 2 at the esses after the Eau Rouge straight, I outbraked myself giving Jones the lead, and rejoined in a hella battle, and no one ever touched me. Hairy, but very impressive manuevers by all!
 
Still waiting on the pics from Spa :)

You guys exciting for the finale?

I really am not sure whose the favorite this week. Seems like anyone could win!
 
Yeah, sorry. Got stuck in to the weeks' GT500 time trial. Finished now so will do pics today.

Semi-excited for the last round. Bit of an anti-climax in terms of the grid numbers being down to only 7 from the originally planned 16. More excited to watch the battle for 2nd and 3rd overall.

Another brilliant race today guys! Thanks to everyone who stuck in there this season as we worked out some bugs. These last three races were some of the best action I've ever taken part in playing this game. I can't wait for season two! My only regret is that I'm so busy we can't start until April.

Final Podium:

1st - Robert - Nissan 370Z - 207 points
2nd - Jason - Lotus Evora - 199 points
3rd - Bill - Mazda RX-7 - 189 points
 
IN-TENSE race! No regrets, I made a judgement call on the fly that didnt work. A max or min decision, and I got min. No breathing room whatsoever throughout the whole race, first Ray, then Isuzu, then fuel guage, lol. I was on the ragged edge from the word go, as my couple shortcuts and run-wides will testify to. Thanks for makin me dig deep and getting to know myself (and all of you guys) a little better.
Awesome.
 
Any more ideas for the next race series? Not sure about the RGT vs M3 GTR. To me the RGT seems superior in every way except braking. Just a pure RGT / Carrera Cup style race series might be fun?

Or a slightly revised version of the series we just ran? Or are people bored with that?
 
The M3 turns in way better.

Working on the new series. I'm actually thinking I might just do a few mini events to get us through the summer. Its too hard for people to commit during the warmer months.

I've got some ideas. You'll notice the league website has already begun its reconstruction phase.
 
Very nice. I like the look of that a lot. Complements to the chef!

Thanks for adding me. Look forward to it. Have to go buy a Z06, race mod it and break it in now.
