LAP #1 - Lights Out:
A tough start for
@JakeMk8. His car stalls when the lights go out and his favorable place on the grid is gone before the race even starts.
@CdnSweetTee seemed dialed-in as she was quick to avoid
@JakeMk8's car.
@Crunchy Taco assumes the early lead.
PD needs to make the fix to this issue which seems totally random but it ruins peoples races. We've been getting this in the Snail Spec League also.
LAP #1 - Lead Change:
@Crunchy Taco's lead wouldn't last long. Maybe a combination of cold tires and he may have gotten the left side dirty exiting Turn 2 but he'd spin into the wall on the right side of the track.
@cesarr64 now leads.
LAP #1 - Lead Change:
@cesarr64's lead would last a little longer but not quite until sector 3. His AMG would exit Turn 9 a little too wide and costs him positions.
@DRD_Niagara now leads.
LAP #2 - Lead Change:
@DRD_Niagara turn at the front wouldn't last long either. There's was contact between
@DRD_Niagara and
@Worst_Driver entering Turn 1 which would send them towards the sand.
@llNovall would also end up wide but avoid disaster. A courteous
@Worst_Driver would wait for
@DRD_Niagara. Both would rejoin the action in 11th and 12th spot.
@Kgffy finds himself leading the race.
LAP #3:
After the hectic opening laps, things settle down and the race is on.
@Kgffy still leads,
@DublDee,
@JDMKING13,
@Noob01_lmdead and
@Yugofan currently occupy the top 5 spots.
LAP #3:
Close one here. Not sure if the picture captures the moment fairly but it looks like
@Yugofan missed his breaking point towards the chicane on Lap #3. He zips by
@Noob01_lmdead and
@JDMKING13 at high speed and skillfully manages to avoid
@DublDee and steers his car off track.
LAP #5:
A mishap on Lap #5 entering Turn 9.
@Noob01_lmdead would make contact with
@JDMKING13, running 3rd at the time.
@JDMKING13 would end up in the sand and rejoin the race in 9th.
LAP #6:
@Kgffy and
@DublDee are still running 1-2. The action is hottest among positions 3 through 7 right now.
@Bologna_Duc slides too deep between Turns 1 and 2 from the 4th position but does well to catch his car. Disaster avoided but he drops to 7th.
LAP #9:
@DublDee, still running 2nd, dressed in his special edition "Land of the Rising Sun" livery is feeling a rise in temperature at the hairpin of Lap #9.
If you put work towards developing a race (or leg of season) specific livery, it deserves to be featured in my recaps.
LAP 14:
Fast forward to Lap #14, lots going on here.
@Kgffy still leads but it's
@bublyman chasing him down now and is taking chucks of time out of his lead.
@DublDee now has
@Noob01_lmdead and
@socalnatv on him and would love to conserve his spot on the podium.
@llNovall is dealing with
@Bologna_Duc and will continue to do so until the end. And not to be ignored in the background is
@JDMKING13 and
@Yugofan battling from the 8th and 9th positions.
LAP #16:
With half a lap to go, things are tight at the front.
@Kgffy can't wait for this to end. His exit out of the hairpin on the final lap is shaky at best but in typical
@Kgffy fashion, he straightens out just before
@bublyman can get by.
And pictured in the background,
@socalnatv has gotten by
@Noob01_lmdead on the straight of Lap #14 and his Corvette will try to run down
@DublDee's Corvette with only a few sectors to go.
LAP #16:
At one point, I thought
@Kgffy had an unsurmountable lead but
@bublyman chipped away at it and it ended closer than expected.
But
@Kgffy hangs on for the win, his first since Event #4 Race #1 at Mount Panorama during the 2024 season. He's joined by
@bublyman and
@DublDee on the podium.
As for the Fastest Lap Bonus, it's claimed by
@Crunchy Taco who's time of 1:59.065 bests
@Bologna_Duc's time of 1:59.134.
Fun Fact -
@Crunchy Taco's 1:59.065 ties
@bublyman's 1:59.065 in Race 1 for the fastest lap of the Event.
