Sorry guys had to drop out. Probably the most frustrated I have been for a long time, and I didn't find it healthy, so needed to stop racing. I'll be back in for NA slot and hopefully it will work out better. Sorry to both Jon and Lefty for my sloppyness.

I'll be there tonight if I can fix my pedals before that. The brake be flickering. Before GT6 too 🤬.

I used to have that problem as well Gooners, I found it was caused by where I was resting my left heel on a certain part of the base. I moved my foot a bit further back (my heel now rests close to the edge) and it stopped. I'm sure the sponge ball I've added now might be helping as well. Hope your wheel fixes itself like mine did.
Sorry to hear about your frustration Oink, it's never a good time to see someone get upset and have to leave. Hope you have a better time later.
I ended up taking 63L during the race and running out of fuel on the last corner
. I tried to draft Mika (who had also ran out but he started shaking me off 
). Was good fun and I'm happy to be back with the group as my last race was Madrid online with the Golf a loong time ago.

Well I'm pretty sure mine was flickering because it was not going back to rest properly. If I pulled back or stomped on the brake it would work for 5 minutes. I took the pedals apart and messed around with the springs and all. I'm not very good at this stuff so I hope it ends up working during the race.

DFGT, right? Every so often I have to clean my pedals out, usually waiting until my gas starts flickering and acting like your brake pedal. While open, I spray some WD-40 on the white cogs that connect to the pedals, so they'll have less resistance and less chance of sticking. It's worked both times I've done this.

No, it wasn't anything wrong with your driving. In fact you were defending your position very well. I was just driving like garbage, and it was killing me.
PS. Great battle 1st stint Jon. Going into the pits was mental!

Managed to get myself settled for the NA race and had a solid pace especially stint 1, ran consistent laps. Without my run in with pekka it would have been a next to perfect race for me, but never mind, great battling where it lasted Jon and well done for the podium as well as Mohit. And of course James for impressive overall win 👍

Definitely, sames. 👍 Just thought I'd have more consistency after doing around 700 miles on the time trial.I had a lot of fun battling your "horrible" driving Lucas.
Look out for photos! Only had time for first stint action.

There was so much more that happened in the next 2 stints, but not sure I'll have time to get more pics. Had a great time last night.
