Crossing The Finish Line

When crossing the finish line, crashing your car is not acceptable and will not be tolerated any further.
Driver's are still racing and racing for position, crashing can cause frame hits for people and it is unfair to disrupt their racing.
Pull over off the track and Esc.. or drive back to the pits.. its just common courtesy.
Breaking this rule will result in points loss.

Is this 3 races or 2?

Sorry bad cut and paste job Zimmie..

First post amended for the special event round, there will be one flying lap qualifying this week and two races.

R1 - I enjoyed having a longer race, keeping an eye the fuel was an extra edge. After all the testing and calculations to ensure I could get through on one stop, it was a pity I took a hit early on and have to drive the race with an injured car. Would have loved to see the race go for another 2 laps though.

R2 - After a good start, great fun chasing down Zimmie. Tried a couple of times but couldn't get passed safely, you were just too fast. Pity you made that mistake, the next two laps would have been interesting with Matt closing in too.

R1 - Made an ok start then on lap 2 (I think) there was complete carnage at the turn 1 chicane. Managed to avoid most of it but hit someone and damaged the front of the car. Came out of the corner in 4th but because I'd done zero practice and fuel calculations I pitted twice during the race which compromised myself a bit.

R2 - Had a blinder of a start and settled into 2nd place trying to keep up with Rifty (haha as if). Had Yoda keeping plenty of pressure on and was within half a second the entire race until (with 3 laps left) I ran too deep in the tricky left hander hairpin and lost 2 spots. Then for good measure I did the same thing the next lap and lost another.

All in all wasn't my best racing but was still really good fun!

pity I took a hit early on

That was me Sorry Yoda. I did turn left to try and avoid the carnage going on at the chicane, but I hit Gamuz in the side and it shot me straight at you. Ended my race as the damage was just to much to carry on with.

LOL No worries, just racing. Could have been a lot worse
