Just a note on when leaving the pits, please follow the marker sticks on the left hand side and enter the race track as the white line curves to the left.

There is to be no merging on to the track by cutting through the marker sticks.

Yeah I really enjoyed last night. Was so exciting trying to chase down rifty with him spluttering across the line - if only I hadn't spun...... :ffs:
Still managed to get a new personal best finishing position with 2nd in that race though - Just gotta try and get the first win!
Second race was going well until I put in into the wall on the last corner. Oh well, next week. :drive:

Interesting night racing

R1 - Managed to hold off Rifty for almost a lap, before he got bored and passed me just before the finish line. Would have been good if it was the last lap. Unfortunately it was the first. Was going well until something happened in T16. Results of that meant watching everyone pass me twice while I was in the pits getting repaired.

R2 - Turning into T13 I found Maniak, had ninja'd up on the inside and was hard on the brakes, both of us were committed, touched and unfortunately Maniak picked up all of the damage. Great dice with Danman, difficult to find away passed. This ended with an inside move on T1, touch of oversteer and a spin for me. Well driven Dan.

Manage to fix my micro stutters, by resetting all my graphics card settings back to Default. Visually can't tell the difference, but everything is running smoother.

R1 was almost thrown away with an early pit, 12 second lead down to something like .800 at the line, and out of fuel spluttering across the line in front of Zimmie.

Phew!


R2 I conserved where I could, and pitted at the same time with a slim 1sec lead, but BK and Gordon passed me in the pits, and took off :look:
Had to work damn hard to claw them back! Awesome battle BK _b

Yes that was an awesome battle there Yoda - shame about that T1 spin. Loved the overtake and then re-pass at the first hairpin (turn 5?) I just braked early hoping you would over-cook it :D

I had a disco in race 1 which was a bummer - everyone disappeared but the game didn't give the connection lost message for another 3 laps. I kept racing incase I re-appeared :D
