I feel nas is sitting at his computer, staring at the monitor, constantly muttering swears and threats with a hammer in one hand and a screwdriver in the other, maybe even some heavy boots nearby.

Don't really need the screwdriver when this is the hammer you have
 
Man, I'm not sure if I will get used to this "whole race length video" format (I do tend to have a rather short attention span sometimes, haha), but I know the technical part can handle that given Nas's fine PC build and whatnot.

And besides, it's happening! 420, airhorns, the whole jazz! The season, after so many niggles, has finally started! Can Jordan not be an incredibly biased championship winner? Will Angel prove her worth as a full-time driver? Can us Pontiac drivers prove GM wrong? So many questions, so many races which can answer them...

This is the only full length race

So all the others will go back to the highlight format? If that's the case, fair enough, thanks for clarifying. I guess only the special races get the special broadcasting treatment, haha...

Correct. Also put your reactions in spoilers everyone!
 
I can tell this is gonna be good. I'll watch it soon enough.
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JULY 12TH, 2016
DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA

Audi Sport Team America driver Vetteman24: " First off congrats to Nas on the win. We started the race well obviously, leading the first lap, but after that we lost clean air and just got shuffled back and from that moment we knew immediately that we needed to push forward as that would be the only way to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately we could not and we got caught up in that first accident but we came away only with some cosmetic issues and the guys on the #15 Under Armour crew fixed it up really nicely. Just as we were trying to work our way back to the main field, I made a lapse in judgement thinking I was clear up high and obviously I was not and I accept the blame for starting that big accident that took out a lot of great cars including ours. Now looking back at our Daytona Speedweeks as a whole I would consider it a success. Starting on pole, running well during my duel, are both highlights however crashing out of the 400 is a major lowlight. Now for a brand new team we can look forward to the rest of the season with our heads held high knowing we are not here just to take part but we are here to compete and win races and contend for that title. Thanks for your time."
 
Coming to the checkers

Spotter - 3 Wide on the bottom, still there 12 giving you help, come on baby, come on baby! Clear by one, 2, checkered here...

YOU JUST WON DAYTONA BABY HOW ABOUT THAT!

Nas - OHHHH MY GOD GUYS HELL YEAAA! THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT! WHOOOOOOO!!!! THANK YOU GUYS! HELL YES!

Crew Chief - Hell of a job driver, you just won the Daytona 400! I will see you in victory lane!
 
You guys from last year are probably wondering where I've been. I ran out of funding at the end of last year, so that's why I don't have a ride. It seemed like every race we had something happen to us, which really added up. In the end, there just wasn't enough funding to run full time. Now I'm out running in my sprint car, which as you could probably imagine doesn't cost as much as running a full GTPFS season. I'd be willing to come back to the series if there's a spot for me sometime, even if it's just substituting for an injured or banned driver. Possibly for commentary or behind the scenes help too. But I suppose Nas and I can talk about that some other time or place. And even if it doesn't or can't happen, I'll probably still be here in the thread and watching everything unless someone says otherwise.

As for the Daytona 400, I just finished watching it. I can tell this is going to be one heck of a great season and it's been really cool to see how far this series has come since it first started. The 400 itself was a hell of a show. Definitely worth the wait, I'm sure. Congrats, Nas.

_______________

Also, I should say that me not being here honestly hasn't had anything to do with the computer issues or anything like that. All it was, was just a matter of me feeling unwelcome on this site and the need to take care of some personal things outside GTP anyway. So, with all that said, if there's anything that Nas has to have me take care of or him mention to me, he can go ahead and do so either in this thread or in a PM.

:cheers:
 
"Well, our day ended up for the second year in a row in Turn 1. Its a shame for Toyota Team Cuatro and Toyota because we showed amazing progress from last year and had great speed. That fact that all four of us were competitive today backed up what we had going on in the Duals. Luck just wasn't on our side for this race. We still got a season to go though and I feel confident that me and DCybertron have a team capable of taking on the multiple Chevy teams and Fords for the rest of the season"

Can I just say thank you Clayton Hardy for reminding Nas that its Toyota Team Cuatro and not team TRD :lol:

Also, gonna wait until everyone posts reactions before I post the results for ROTY points.

I got you fam.
 
The video loads two minutes and stops loading. So I gotta pause it every two minutes. Frustating so far to watch this race..

Welcome to my world. :lol:
 
9th place was a shocker for me, even though I stayed mostly under the radar until the end, except for the big crash that occurred. I mainly just wanted to survive my first NASCAR race ever though I'll admit, when the win was in sight I did go for the openings however I didn't want to risk going out with some of the more experienced drivers and do anything silly so I made it easy for me to overtake.

This is likely due to the crash that occurred, I was on the outside lane and then suddenly @vetteman24 came very close to me, if I had more experience maybe I would've remained calm and prevented the situation my going slower but I was in a panic, it surprised me. That made me go a bit safer for the rest of the race a bit cautious that it could happen again, I take responsibility for the incident.

Pit timing is something I need to work on, I'm still pretty green and need to work on my timing as I always pit at the wrong times during Green Flags and end up back when I pit.

As for lap traffic, again I'm new to this whole B-Spec racing thing but boy did I get really 🤬, unlike others @Jordan wasn't my biggest issue (please don't ban me :P), it was @samurai8juice that gave me the most trouble of going around.

Really did enjoy the race and I am very satisfied with a 9th place and a solid 35-points and enjoyed racing with you lot, I know I barely got any close encounters with most, I mainly just floated from position to position, great racing everybody.
 
Dammit Nas! 3 1/2 hours of video? Between Hughes being awful, YouTube being stupid, and GTP being janky I can't watch this until I go somewhere with better internet, and that won't be until this weekend, and that's being hopeful. I got about 18 minutes in before YT decided it needed to re-download all 3 1/2 hours again. My data won't handle it, and I'm not watching on my phone.
 
I honestly like seeing the races at full, highlights aren't usually my thing though I understand why you wouldn't do it often.

I do hope we get to see Homestead at full (fingers crossed :D)
