USA nGT: Magny-Cours

Punt!...Punt!...End of Race....

Congratulations to the Top 3!

OG \o/

Was running in top 6 for first stint, then when I went to pit, someone else was in my pit stall, so I had to do another lap and pit again. It is not often that I am as fast as I was today, so it is frustrating that we still have this shared pit stall bug

Sorry to hear that Omar. hopefully a replay review will help you out in the next race.

Congrats first to the podium and a nice fastest lap Kent!

From 2nd, with an inadverdent esc, to i took the drive-through in stride...ended up last by midway on the 2nd lap. then actually kept it on the road for the rest of the race and had a great battle with Pol right up until he pitted...ran a couple of fast laps to try to get out in front of him when I pitted, but the off I had on my final lap before pitting ruined any chance of that.

Pitted for fuel and tires...didn't know they would short fuel me so 3 laps prior to the end of the race I needed a splash and dash...came out 1 place lower a second or so behind Jeff. Fought like hell to get him and with 1 laps left I managed to grab the position and i think ended up 8th.

Sorry for running wide at the hairpin jeff - slowed to let you by cause it didn't seem very fair to nudge you out like that as we had a great battle going.

Had a blast tonight fellas. Good clean racing from what I saw.

cheers,

Don't think is going to help me when. No biggie...but this was just one of the punts, the other one was at the beginning of the race, which was not as bad as the last one. Draft issue? Yeah, probably...Still was avoidable contact, just watch the replay... ;)

At the start, whoever was in front of me went reverse! and I couldn't go around till a few seconds past. Then I plowed into some who was wrecked on the track in turn one. It blew my tires, messed up my suspension, and was almost impossible to drive. So I hobbled into the pits to get new tires and repairs. By then I had been lapped by 2/3 of the field.

I took a Zen moment and decided to press on and enjoy the race.

I had some good moments, and found myself keeping pace with the guys around 10th place towards the end.

The worst thing was my tendency to rubberneck other racers mistakes, lose focus, and then go off track or spin myself.

Worst driving I have ever done in a sim race. I am slow here. I freaked and hit Chip in first turn as he went into a spin. Sorry, I did not do a good job at reacting to that one. After that I raced clean for a while. Towards the end though I went off the road a few times. My apologies to anyone I interfered with. The sad part is, I practiced for this race!

Great race, congrates to podium and the finishers!

Had to play catchup once again, but it was great fun. Had to push all race but had nothing for podium.

Great job everyone.

Rob.

I had a pretty good pace tonight and even had the lap record going but had to pass a car in the final chicane. Still good for pole but would have liked to get that track record back.

Race started and I steadily pulled away from Krueger for most of the first stint. I got up to about a 13 second lead when I had some major connection lag. Somehow I managed to keep it on hte track for a half a lap of stuttering but lost 4 seconds in the process.

Planned on taking tires at my stop and with the loss of time I lost the lead to Krueger on the stop. We exited almost together and it took me about 4 laps to get close enough to make a move. Happened into 180 where it appeared Kruegers tires were giving up on him and I was able to sneak under him.

The rest of the race was just trying to deal with all the traffic. I even rode around behind Mueller while he was in a close battle, but I was losing a lot of time and finally flashed letting him know I was coming through.

Very pleased with my race and pace and all the lapped cars where pretty good although I think a couple guys were surprised when I passed as I saw them spin out after. Sorry for that but all my passes were very clean.

Grats to Krueger on the 1-2 for the team :)

Grats to Kent and the podium!
I qualy'd next to my teamie and felt comfy with the start. The next 10 laps were a rush with steve and omar, steve and omar traded positions a few times as i watched and capitalized on the two racing each other on the exit of 3 after we traded positions a few times, I got a run on omar into the left hand T7 hairpin, and I tapped him but thankfully he didn't loose traction or positions, sorry omar, it was great racing I digged the crap out of those laps. Tracy, NP, it was all clean, iI had a blast and what is up with the porsche's not being able to get the tires up to temps??? Well all I wanted was a top 10 and I got it...Na Na Na Na, I get a fast car for the next one, doesn't mean ill be fast ;-)

Great Race Guys!

Edit...No I get the same POS ;-(

At the start, going into T1, I knew Garret was on the inside but I had no idea how far. With another car right in front off me and my teamm8 John to my right I tried to steer in as safe as possible. But Garret and I touched which made me bounch off to the right touching my teamm8 into the gravel. I really was in doubt if I should do a drivethrough but felt (and still do) that I was not to blame for what happend. Looked at the replay and I still don't know what to think of it. Did Garret touch me or did I touch him? Anyway ... I am sorry for John about what happend cos it kind of messed up his race for sure. After that I had a great battle with Garret and Nolte. Happy with 6th in the end, but the bad taste of the start is still there.
