Despite the fact that we had 2 races in 1, the times are very close to each other, so congrats to the usual suspects 👍
But first, I'll tell you the story behind this race.
I had planned to use Apricot forward and reverse initially, but in race cars with similar p/w ratios. But then I realized that we would be coincidentally running the same track forward and reverse on week 69, and that was too cheap a joke IMO, so I decided to postpone that race to later and post something else.
Until Casio asked for a sexy race ; then I changed my mind and decided to post the forward+reverse combo anway, and went looking for a title that would say everything but that nobody would understand
After some googling around, I found "Congress of the Crow" (just google that
). I added an 's' to Crow to obfuscate it a bit, and start looking for cars that are available in black color only, so that there would be a immediate reference to the crows in the title and so that people don't start to wonder what the title was meaning. I chose first the 190E because it's an enjoyable car to drive, second the Buick because it's black too and has the same p/w ratio as the 190E. I made a pic where the black cars are sort of talking to each other (Congress) while being placed as the figures 6 and 9 in 69, which Dr_Watson spotted.
And that's it. You now have the advanced explanation
Week 69 Results :
Buick GNX '87 and Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91

Replay posting :
Gold times in each division are requested to provide a replay.

Quick guide to replay checking :
- check the race summary, note down the car power and tyres.
- look a first time at the replay from the farthest top view (R1 R1 as soon as the race starts, X if you need to switch to the outside cam)
- look a second time at the replay from the same view but reverse (press L1)
- if you suspect a third wheel off track, freeze the replay (Select button) to enter photomode.
- if you suspect a contact with wall or AI, check the data logger for any weird pike (speed drop) under full throttle

Nice racing, guys. 👍
Just bought a new apartment so I'll be all tied up with moving soon, no GT4 for a few weeks 
so I'll go back to rusting up in a corner somewhere! 
(👍 Kyle).
Double and triple checked it though and there's kerb contact throughout, so its clean. 👍 
since I've mistakenly uncrushed PAL files before, but they're recognised by the Replay Theatre, but have no preview picture and won't play. GPKart's files are on the memory card since I can delete the files from the browser and space is freed up when I do, but the Replay Theatre refuses to acknowledge they're there! 
I've tried them twice, downloaded directly to the MAX Drive, and uncrushed, and copied them from where they were downloaded to the hardrive, and they behave the same both times.
