Sorry VR6, you shoudn't have waited.... I pushed too hard trying to get a bit away from you!
Was good fun, though! :cheers:
 
I really enjoyed racing the RX8 tonight, Zoom Zoom. :) Great event and great turnout too. Best lap was a 2'15.792, leading the race. :cheers:
 
Nice Race Crispy! Good battle... 👍
 
What a night, what an event, great racing with everybody. Great fun.
 
Great racing from everyone tonight :cheers:

couple of full grids brilliant 👍
 
This race was buzzing tonight!!!
1st time i entered this race and my god, it was brilliant! After long sessions of racing hard, i half expected to see my RX8's tyre worn down and grained.

Too many people complain the current events are boring, while it's so easy to make them fun and interesting. :) 👍

I dont eat breakfast. :sly: I was going for 5 wins in a row, but there was some KOR dude, KOR_Redskull I think it was who managed to get a good lead on me as I started at the back of the grid. Shame as I have had some really nice races with the KOR guys and was looking foward to a nice clean battle, always super fast and clean racers. Still finished P2 in that one and won the next, so 5 out of 6 wasnt bad. :)

Back tonight for some more RX8 racing.

:gtpflag:
 
It makes me happy to see. That I could give you guys a pleasant night of racing. I never expected to get a full grid.

Some of you had really scary :scared: lap times. I read that 2 of you dipped it into the 2:15, (Hyperspeed and Hugo Boss) unbelievable but it happened. When I tested it last weekend I did about 10 laps and came up with mid 19. So when I read about the 15’s, it scared me off big time. During last night racing I managed to dip in the high 17, (without draft)I’m happy with that.

I really enjoyed the close racing, there where fights all over the track. One thing that I notice was that the slipstream was less involved then with other cars, this was in benefit of the great racing. And I really enjoyed the less slipstream. Did anyone else notice this as well.

Thnx guys for showing up and see you soon 👍
 
Well my easter break is spent with the inlaws some 600 km from my PS3. It sounds like fun though. Maybe I'll play the year's first round of golf instead
 
thx roomboter for making this event happen and thx to all the GTP-ers who joined in for a real good driving night

sorry about all the bumbs and scratches but never the less it was real real REAL fun racing.

The fun part for me was trying to catch up when i ****ed up another corner.
Sometimes it was very hard catching up even with a slipstream. Had some real good laptimes also 2'17 low but 2'32 took part also.

Looking forward to see you all in some thrilling next event

Cheers, yes it was a great battle. And thanks to everyone else who raced last night, there were battles going on everywhere, don't think I've had a race with that much consistent action for the whole five laps!!

And a big thanks to Roomboter for this fantastic combo, and for the numerous battles we had...top stuff 👍👍
 
With some tight racing across the field, there were some issues that came up...eg.

On the twisty bit i went for a pass on a clio. We were side by side approaching a right-hander. I had the inside line an kept to the right, leaving space on the left for the clio. I suspect the clio touched me while turning right and speared off into the track. I considered that perfectly legal and carried on.

Was i right or should i have waited?

I ask this because the clio driver didn't try to punt me off earlier, but later i made a mistake and he was behind me on the last lap and absolutely smashed me off the track, in 'revenge'.

What do you think, maybe some guys aren't aware that the inside line gives track position? or maybe some normally fair drivers get desperate at the end of the race?
He wasn't a GTPer.
