well an absolutely disappointing night for me.
For some reason the internet went out at 8.45 and came back at about 9.02, but unfortunately race one had started. Still, I guess with such a large field a re-start wasn't on the cards...
At least I finished race 2, but near the back.

Race 3 was trying to pressure Zimmie for the lead after Gavv had gone off (probably for a cup of tea) in the last few minutes, but had a lazy half spin into the tyres under brakes at the end of the back straight. Brushed the tyres but obviously hard enough to wipe the front left wheel off. Damn! I could almost see that first ever KSR win!

I had to go outside for some not too mild swearing after that.

I really wish other games would adopt the NR2003/ iRacing system where you can re-join a race in pitlane after a disco

Would love to run this league again next year.

I too had a disappointing night after some really encouraging practices. Started reasonably well and even managed a couple of passes but a slide and a near off had me falling back and couldn't keep the momentum going. Pitted late and used the new tyres with low gas to try and close the gap to Zimmie and Yoda. Managed to set 2nd fastest lap so that was good and fastest thru the speed trap.

2nd race went well until the bloody drive thru!!!

Third race had a good tussle with Vlad, chased him down and then couldn't quite hold it going underneath through the kink.

Need heaps more practice in traffic.

Jesus, now I miss points for the last race by a few hundred meters?
