Race room open.
 
I'm just going to apologize to everyone right now for being a horrible driver. I'm pretty sure there's no one I haven't messed up in some way this season. I ****ed up 4 people in this Apricot Hill race alone. I'm seriously disappointed in myself. You all have every right to be annoyed/angry/whatever at me.
 
Was a half decent race shadowing @GranTurismo916 until the yellow where it all fell apart.

Made a serious error switching to intermediates when the track wasn't wet enough.

Hello.
 
Somebody pinch me. That didn't just happen did it? This is dream, right?!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the clean racing that I experienced during the race on my end. Also, thanks @Kross24 for helping me and giving me some advice. And I'd like to apologize to @DcrRaikkonen for the little bit of contact, and @GranTurismo916 for sliding up in front of you in T1.

Really pleased with my result, after screwing up once when @DcrRaikkonen was ghosted. I went off, got damage and had to run the whole second stint with damage. The caution came, I screwed up in the pits, and feel back to the end of the line after the restart. Somehow, I worked through the field and had an awesome battle with @BRRT_Angel. The rain was a real challenge, and I somehow kept the car on the track, while gaining on @Kross24. I caught him quicker than expected, with about 5 minutes to go, got around him, and pulled a gap. And yes, I served my twenty second penalty.

:cheers:
 
Good run for me. Was right on @Whitetail's butt at the end. Would have hunted him down but alas I missed ;)
 
My Race was going great until my friends came and i had to answer the door then i was battling to stay on the lead lap when @GTRacer22 made a mistake and hit me after that it was all over and with 10 mins to go i pulled it in the pits. I tried to stay out of the 500's way to the best of my abilities. At least i ran a 1:19.1. Kross thank you so much for the setup.

I don't even remember when this happened, therefore I doubt it affected me, so it's fine. 👍

I had a massive drift while passing you into turn one towards the end. Also another big drift after the restart. :lol:
 
Still not sure why people don't like Apricot Hill. Race was good from my standpoint. But right now it won't be appearing on a VRR Super GT calendar for at least the next two seasons.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I still would've even if I hadn't won. It was a great race.

I understand you were up to speed with kross and I, you were still a lapped car in the middle of the battle for the lead. You were driving a bit too aggressive to stay on the lead lap from what I saw. And when you tried to pass kross coming into the chicane, I wasn't expecting you to check up so much. I apologize for it, and it was my mistake, but I really wasn't expecting it.

Only reason Kross was there he had made a mistake and then i had a huge run which led to the battle which was fun until that moment but that one time going into T1 you had a huge run and i thought you were going to pass then i was on pace and you were a little bit behind thats the only reason why i stayed in the middle. I'm sorry if i ruined the battle completely. Good win tho

No I completely understand, Dc. You didn't ruin anything at all, in fact, you made it even better. Thanks. :)
 
Tsukuba is going to be fun, no doubt. But pre-qualifying is likely needed for the GT300s
 
I really hope I can make this one. Been looking forward to it since the calendar's been out. I'm going to be gutted if I can't.
 
I took the risk and decided to not do an engine rebuild..

I ended with 299HP.

But I ran a 19.1 before the track got wet, so that's nice for me :).. Also I almost nailed the fuel strategy (I had to go on low revs in the last lap to not run out).

Just like a real RX-7!!
 
One thing I'd like to say for future events that may contain a safety car period: GIVE THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU ROOM.

We had incidents at Apricot Hill where multiple cars were run into under the safety car. We don't need this. Give people room, spread out. Don't be all over each other's rear ends. It's frustrating and nerve wracking.

All of this.

It's pointless and stupid to be kissing each other's butts under "SC". Nobody is going anywhere! We should only bunch up when we feel we're good to restart.

Also, everyone please re-read the neutralization procedure. I have no idea why the overall leader wasn't at the front of the line and ultimately it's up to us to know what to do.

Yup, couldn't agree more, I feel somewhere in the rules it should also specifically say to PASS ghosted cars, as slowing to 37mph with them just causes more incidents unnecessarily (as you could tell, I was heavily salted when I got damage because everyone slammed the brakes)

I will try my hardest to attend FP1 on Friday for Tsukuba, but it'll probably be a bit later than normal as I have to watch my dog for the evening until near 9pm GMT.
 
I think the problem was space during the Safety Car it was people stopping for ghosted cars. I think the rule should be if the person who's ghosted is typing something important we pass them and they get their spots back if not important they lose their position
