That`s sad, have fun if you can and we`ll see you the next time
.
, that`s really fast 
, I guess I can forget about 1st place this time, best lap so far is 2:58.500, that`s lightyears behind. My only viable strategy is to make all those who want to pass me pay dearly but how long will I be able to hold out? And during that time mister @Thorin Cain will augment his lead 
, that is if he manages to stay cool and on the road 
. We never know though, maybe someone will miss his refuel, it`s happened before

That is pretty sadThat`s sad, have fun if you can and we`ll see you the next time
But on the bright side 
It'll let you spread that lead you have on him in the championship a bit more 
and give me a chance to leap-frog him 
I'm not sure provoking him is the best idea though
He's a pretty tenacious little droid that @RMan72, he'll be back with a vengeance next week 
Looks like @OdeFinn may be the man to beat, pulling those times in
Averaging 2:56's you say!? Oh well, more practice still needed for me then 
I notice there's no penalty for "accidental" oil leakage from someone's car 
If you start sliding about in the long right hander after the first hairpin....it wasn't me! 
I've not been back round since my initial testing the other day, I'll need to get some more laps under my belt and get some fuelling strategies figured out.
See you guys on the track

Just went for a race simulation, 
If I run like this tomorrow you guys are allowed to shoot me and put me out of my misery 
. Went 6 laps before pitting, my 2 best laps were 3:00.xxx , don't want to talk about the other 4 laps 
. I did a bit better on the next 5 laps but I ran out of gas 🤬, the good news is I'm still going to get points for finishing last while our friend will get kitchen duty .
Just out of pure pleasure in the Lancer/Evolution Seasonal my good old 22B '98 (standard) is in front of @RMan72 and @danbojte 's GSP '07 (premium), , only 0.342 behind @ALB123 's S206 '12.
Good luck tomorrow people and may the most deserving driver win.

I decided to do a review of the second race, I had such a laugh on that one that I couldn't let the opportunity pass. If someone wants to do the first they are welcome to do it.
Race 2
Start off grid
DB - danbojte
TL - OutbackV6 (TurnLeft)
TC- TORYN-RAYVEN (Thorin Cain)
OF - OdeFinn
Lap 1
TL decides that he wants to give a smoke show, also forgets to shift in 2nd gear, is that what you call short shifting?
TC capitalizes on that bad move and moves to second place.
OF also does the same and passes TL.
Coming into the first curve DB takes the interior with OF behind and TC takes the exterior with TL behind.
TC makes a courageous and somewhat bold move and takes the lead with DB following, TL takes back 3rd place in front of OF.
Everyone has taken there position and are rolling smoothly, for now that is.
After putting two wheels on the grass TC concedes 1st place to DB, who thanks him for this courteous move.
TL tries to surprise TC and takes the interior, you can feel the pressure mounting.
TC is baffled by the move and tries desperately to create a diversion by making a smoke show, which really does not impress OF who's watching all of this with amused eyes.
DB looks in his mirror as he gets to the top of the hill and smiles to himself thinking “let them battle it out while I take some more lead”
As DB crosses for the 1st lap, everyone is still well grouped up. DB followed by TL, TC & OF
LAP 2
TC tries a yet another bold move and takes the plunge for the interior, some habits are really hard to break.
The move pays off by some mysterious bowl of chance, meanwhile OF is just waiting for the disaster to happen .
Unable to cope with the pressure, TC cracks and goes trail happy.
TL seizes the oppurtunity with OF not far behind, just waiting in the shadows to prounce on his next victim.
OF decides that he’s had enough of waiting and he also makes a move on TC.
TC realizes what’s happening and makes a super move to take back 3rd place. Nitrous anyone?
Now what’s he thinking he’s doing?
TC prounces on the occasion with OF behind as TL is wondering - where am I ?, ... who am I?
OF follows TC and they both wave goodbye to TL who’s still wondering where he is and more important, what's happening?
Finally remembering that he was racing, TL makes a dash for the interior leaving OF baffled.
TL tries to match the color of the road with his car, bonus points for doing that right.
Anybody wondering where DB is? Yup, in his own little world all alone while the others are having fun.
As lap 2 finishes DB is in the lead.....
But where are the others? Let me take my zoom out to try to find them. There they are, TC followed by TL and OF.
to be continued when time permits.

@TurnLeft, if you didn't miss Race #1 of the Nicks Forza Dino event, you would be tied for 2nd place, at worst, or in 2nd place ahead of danbojte by 2 points.
Great racing recap, btw... I'm quite anxious to see how this ends. DB seemed to have such a huge lead. I have a feeling this story is going to involve some heartbreak.

Yes and no, if @RMan72 had been there for this race things would have ended up differently, not sure how it would have went but my little voice inside my head says he would have been a contender in at least one of the races, and if you had been there that would have been even closer@TurnLeft, if you didn't miss Race #1 of the Nicks Forza Dino event, you would be tied for 2nd place, at worst, or in 2nd place ahead of danbojte by 2 points.

. @Thorin Cain has been running some great races and he's upped his driving a good way, in general he's faster than me on the fastest lap but I make up by being a bit smoother, the day he combines his speed and more precision he will be excellent. @OdeFinn and @danbojte are equal to themself, great drivers, and @RMan72 , he can be fast like a hurricane but he does at times get , hmm, lose his robot composure and make some mistakes, which quite frankly are a benediction for me , never seen someone who can go off road and lose his position and catch up so fast to pass you again.I'll try to finish it tomorrow, it was to say the least, the most incredible finish we've had in these series, and the word incredible can be taken literally.

Here is the rest of the review from race number 2, don't think I'll do one like this for a while, man that was long.
Lap 3
TL takes the first curve to fast and has to over brake to try to make the curve.
ooops, OF has been put in a precarious position by TL, no harm intended my friend.
With a superb synchronism, OF manages to get through with only a couple of grey hairs added.
You can’t see it in the picture but a moose crossed the track and TC barely had time to esquive it with a move worthy of the best of Fast & Furious, funny how these things only happen to him.
OF knows nothing of what just happened as he comes into the thick smog left by TC, a couple of more grey hairs sprout as he enters the cloud, praying dearly that it's all just a mist.
The disaster that he had so patiently been waiting for finally happened, he’s passed the two most dangerous drivers on the feild, OF has moved into 2nd and is now on a mission to catch up to DB.
As TC gets back over his emotions he is surprised to see TL pass by like a bullet, sometimes things just don't go as we had anticipated.
As DB crosses the line to go into lap 4, the feild has split into 2 groups, DB followed by OF, who is gaining up on him, and TL followed by the very persistent TC, if you ask me, I'd say more than a bit persistent.
Lap 4
After putting an immense amount of pressure on TL, TC gets his opportunity as TL goes on a dandelion excursion.
Believe it or not, but do you remember the moose that we were not able to capture on photo, well it reapeared and crossed right in front of TC causing him to make a magnificent move. Now who in the world would bring a Canadian moose to a track.
TL capitulates on the occasion and retakes his rightful position, thanking mister moose on the way.
Lap 5
DB is still in the lead as he starts the lap but OF has gained up on him, he can now see him in his mirror and beads of sweat are starting to appear on his forehead.
OF decides to go in for a pit stop, leaving DB race with himself.
After having a full lap of battling TC, TL takes a break and heads to the pits, remembering that the first race lasted only 10 laps he cut’s down the amount of fuel to have less weight and more speed. He also notices that this is NOT his regular pit crew, just not dressed the same way as usual, this is turning out into a bizarre type of race.
Lap 6
Everyone is dispersed on the track, the leader DB, followed by TC, OF and TL.
Lap 7
As DB crosses the line to start lap 7 the fans are cheering furiously, but something odd is happening, DB has not pitted, strange, in fact it’s very strange, but coming from Mister Economical it’s not that surprising, is it?
TC heads in for a pit stop and OF retakes his 2nd position. TC makes sure there's no moose on the horizon.
As TC gets ready to leave the pits, TL passes by like an electric bolt, the race is on again.
Lap 8
Finally, and about time, DB goes in to the pit stop, Will his crew be fast enough to pull out before OF comes by?
OF gets the big break, DB is still in the pits while he wizzes by into 1st place, he can smell the fumes of victory.
Lap 9
As we start lap 9 we have a new leader, OF has consolidated his lead in first, followed by DB, TL and TC who is rapidly gaining on TL. Still no moose on the horizon.
Lap 10
OF still in first but with 3:05 left on the race clock as he crosses the line that means we’ll be having an 11 lap race, I know one person who knows at this point that he’s up s--t ‘s creek.
Lap 11
With 10 seconds on the clock as OF crosses the line we now enter the final lap with the order of OF, DB, TL, & TC. -
TL knows he won’t make it to the end so he enters the pit lane, but to his total horror his crew refuses to fill up his car, union rules they say, no work on the Final Lap. mean while TC trying to not choke while laughung at TL’s misfortune passes on to a podium position, remembering fair well about the moose he floors it down but then notices his fuel gauge is in the red.
Just as he makes it passed the first curve DB runs out of fuel, there is a hush of consternation in the crowd, you can feel the intense disappoint from DB,
TC has been handed the 2nd position on a silver platter, and he takes it graciously, his battle is now to be as economical with his fuel as possible, that fuel gauge looks like it’s at zero if you ask me. Good thing for him Mr. Moose hasn't showed up for awhile.
Ah the pain of running out of gas, and to top it off, while going up a hill, TC can still dream about that second place while he edges his way to the finish line.
After the pit crew refusal TL loses the little cool he pocesses and starts driving erratically.
From one side of the track to the other, he’s lost it, someone please call 911.
Finally after a last tire burning session he notices a black dot in front of him, he looks at the leader board and see’s it’s DB, can it really be him, or is it just a mirage, or worse, the moose is lining him up for a head on collision, no matter he takes the resolution to go investigate.
Surprise, TL passes DB and he get’s the encouragement from his only fan out there. And now he’s got a podium again, who would have thought of that.
Ah damn, TL has just run out of fuel with TC just a bit farther down, but he’s still got some speed (155 kmh) going down hill. He starts reciting the only prayer he knows.
Here both drivers are banging their heads, one out of sheer frustration and madness, the other from total hysterical laughter and joy. I’ll let you guess who’s who as TL crawls in front of TC at a snail pace.
Meanwhile back into the world of normal racing, OF crosses the finish line for the well deserved victory.
The fastest lap for every driver was
DB 2:52.510 that was just incredible my friend.
OF 2:53.968 an excellent lap time and an incredible double feature win
TC 2:55.337 very good
TL 2:56.134 no comments
Lap 3
TL takes the first curve to fast and has to over brake to try to make the curve.
ooops, OF has been put in a precarious position by TL, no harm intended my friend.
With a superb synchronism, OF manages to get through with only a couple of grey hairs added.
You can’t see it in the picture but a moose crossed the track and TC barely had time to esquive it with a move worthy of the best of Fast & Furious, funny how these things only happen to him.
OF knows nothing of what just happened as he comes into the thick smog left by TC, a couple of more grey hairs sprout as he enters the cloud, praying dearly that it's all just a mist.
The disaster that he had so patiently been waiting for finally happened, he’s passed the two most dangerous drivers on the feild, OF has moved into 2nd and is now on a mission to catch up to DB.
As TC gets back over his emotions he is surprised to see TL pass by like a bullet, sometimes things just don't go as we had anticipated.
As DB crosses the line to go into lap 4, the feild has split into 2 groups, DB followed by OF, who is gaining up on him, and TL followed by the very persistent TC, if you ask me, I'd say more than a bit persistent.
Lap 4
After putting an immense amount of pressure on TL, TC gets his opportunity as TL goes on a dandelion excursion.
Believe it or not, but do you remember the moose that we were not able to capture on photo, well it reapeared and crossed right in front of TC causing him to make a magnificent move. Now who in the world would bring a Canadian moose to a track.
TL capitulates on the occasion and retakes his rightful position, thanking mister moose on the way.
Lap 5
DB is still in the lead as he starts the lap but OF has gained up on him, he can now see him in his mirror and beads of sweat are starting to appear on his forehead.
OF decides to go in for a pit stop, leaving DB race with himself.
After having a full lap of battling TC, TL takes a break and heads to the pits, remembering that the first race lasted only 10 laps he cut’s down the amount of fuel to have less weight and more speed. He also notices that this is NOT his regular pit crew, just not dressed the same way as usual, this is turning out into a bizarre type of race.
Lap 6
Everyone is dispersed on the track, the leader DB, followed by TC, OF and TL.
Lap 7
As DB crosses the line to start lap 7 the fans are cheering furiously, but something odd is happening, DB has not pitted, strange, in fact it’s very strange, but coming from Mister Economical it’s not that surprising, is it?
TC heads in for a pit stop and OF retakes his 2nd position. TC makes sure there's no moose on the horizon.
As TC gets ready to leave the pits, TL passes by like an electric bolt, the race is on again.
Lap 8
Finally, and about time, DB goes in to the pit stop, Will his crew be fast enough to pull out before OF comes by?
OF gets the big break, DB is still in the pits while he wizzes by into 1st place, he can smell the fumes of victory.
Lap 9
As we start lap 9 we have a new leader, OF has consolidated his lead in first, followed by DB, TL and TC who is rapidly gaining on TL. Still no moose on the horizon.
Lap 10
OF still in first but with 3:05 left on the race clock as he crosses the line that means we’ll be having an 11 lap race, I know one person who knows at this point that he’s up s--t ‘s creek.
Lap 11

It was a pleasure doing it, especially for a race like this one, and we both know this will not happen too often or else they're going to force us to drive bumper cars@TurnLeft
Beautiful, my friend, beautiful! Thank you so much. I had a lot of laugh.
I know it's a big effort to do that. Repeat it only when you're in the mood for this. Thanks again. 👍
. I still have in mind something you said when I started racing here, never give up, you never know what may happen, well this really proves it. As I passed @Thorin Cain going down hill my wife asked me why I was laughing so much, I told her you wouldn't believe it, sort of finish Vettel had to win his first championship.

Love the review dude 👍 Great job
It was an eventful race to be sure, not the best I've ever ran by a long way but it was a whole lot of fun none the less
The last lap was by far one of the strangest I think I've ever seen in any form of Motorsport real or virtual I can't help but feel sorry for our good friend @danbojte, to go from second to last in one lap, only to find out that the two cars that passed his stricken RX-7 both also ran out of fuel shortly afterwards Trust me Dan, I know how you feel 
I saw TL dive into the pits on the last lap but was fully expecting the end of that lap to signal the end of the race, Stupid me
I had underestimated just how well OF had been doing and didn't think he'd have enough time to cross the line for the 10th time with any chance of adding an extra lap to the race after taking his pit-stop into account. How wrong I was 
What a great drive and race by the Flying Finn After an initial lift-off after the line I realised the race was pretty much still on and looked down at the fuel guage
oh-oh, that's not good I knew there was no chance to complete the lap on full pace so I started to cruise round for the lap, short-shifting and coasting to try and conserve as much fuel as I could to get as much of the lap under my belt before the inevitable happened As it turned out the last of the fuel was burned up as I approached the uphill section before the spiral It couldn't have lasted another 100m could it As the engine started to drop I checked the map and saw an incoming blue marker closing in fast and resigned myself to finishing on the bottom step of the podium, thinking that TL had managed to get some fuel in for a final push. I decided to move off the racing track and take up position on the inside shoulder of the spiral to allow TL to get a free run at it. Little did I know, he had just ran out of fuel as well. As I saw him go past I noticed that he too was beginning to slow and had to follow him back to the finish line with both cars on "return home mode" around 50-100m apart. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry In the end the result was as it should have been 👍 with the exception of Mr Economical finishing at the back after the unthinkable happening
I made a few too many mistakes (mostly on the 4 consecutive right-handers) and TL was doing enough to make life difficult and kept running consistent laps by keeping his mistakes to a minimum 👍Great double win for @OdeFinn. Congratulations
And a big
for DB's fastest lap. That was just incredible. I thought OF's 2:53s would be unbeatable. I guess you had different ideas Thanks for the great races guys. It really was a fun weekend despite the strangeness of it all
