Sorry, but GTR2 couldn't have come any sooner.

As soon as the weather started changing in this crappy GTR game, I was getting screen freezes and was all over the track as some might have witness coming behind me. Fuckin' retarted is all I have to say.

I'll see you guys next season in GTR2. And now, I can use GTR CD for a coaster..seriously.

Had a non-qualifying start today since I got bumped going into the first banked corner (turn 4) and ended up in the wall, then couldn't get the car out of the gravel in the time limit. Oh, well, it was an accident and nothing more, just frustrating since it was at the beginning of the qual session.

Starting at the back by the time the warm-up lap came around to start the race us at the back were already half a lap behind, at least. Guess the single-file snake got a bit too spread out. That seems to happen in most races though.

In the race the Morgan brakes were locking up badly at just about every corner. But my race came to an end when I went off turn 6, slid through the gravel and the grass and ended at the fence behind turn turn 8, high-centered and broken suspension.

Disco.

YAY! Second DNF in a row!! Woohoo!

Jerry C sorry for that little push in last corner, I misread the situation, thought you were letting me by. SORRY. :(

Quali:
Was shit, blew my first lap, than blew my second lap, and all I could menage was some 1:26.6.

Race:
Well it started good, then I made some mistakes, then it tournd it's course. Soon as the rain started I knew it was going down the toilet. Stayed on slicks until they started to loose grip, then I pitted, changed to hard wets. They weren't any better, in fact they were worse. Lost the car on last big loop. Car got sideways and than suddenly it decided to do some acrobatics. SPLENDID. I tried to come back on track but it got stuck, cause I was avoiding taking out Pit stop sign. Anyway, shitty track, shitty tires. Sums up pretty nice.

I just about had enough. If it weren't for Donnington and Spa for last 2 race I'd call it a day.

{Edit by TM - Cool off Kent, then come back and post. Dont post things like that though, please}

Well sorry, but I don't practice and work my butt off for these races only to have them ended because someone is to stubborn to let a leader by.

Tim, the rule is clear about getting lapped. And I am still really pissed off about this race. Like I said, sure I made some mistakes, but those never costed me the lead. Watch the replay, WAY too many incidents with slower cars the should have never happened. I mean *&^%&%*& I was very patient with most cars until I got spun a couple times.

I will tell you this, from now on, I will not be patient, if someone is holding me up they will be moved!

You don't like it BAN ME! Sorry but you know how I race, if someone is faster then me they get by EASY, if I am being lapped, it is an EASY pass. The CRAP that happened to me in this race was just rediculous. After I was relegated to 6-7th I was driving poorly and had a few spins alone, but I can tell you that was simply because I was fuming.

Absolutely my fault once there Kent. I tried to move to the outside in the right-hander coming up to the last turn, and saw in my rearview that you moved outside as well. Very sorry. Finished 7th myself, not too bad. Way to go Claus and Steve!

I cannot apologies enough for my lack of driving skills!!!!!!!
It just went downhill from lap 5 onwards. I should defiently have hit ESC, but I tried to stay in there for some championship points (which I did not recieve anyway....).
I hope I did not screw the race up for anyone, as I had a lot of unprovoked offs, a few mishaps with the pit crew themselves with additional trips to the pit lane as a result.
I am so so sorry!

What a disaster. I was planning on a 3 stop strategy but the rain just screwed it all up. The car was very good and competitive in dry conditions but it was terrible in the wet for the most part. I was trapped in a tough decision on my first pit stop on whether to put on wets or stick with slicks and i eventually chose slicks because the conditions were not wet enough....and my race went downhill from there as the rain got harder.

Had quite a few offs today, especially in the later stages of the race. In one instance i spun out and the leader at the time, Steve, hit me in the side. Just a case of not knowing which way the other guy was going and unfortunately i turned into him....sorry man :(. My last crash came with 10 min left as i came into the last turn and accidentally clipped some curbing and at the same time applied some brake for the corner. Well that spun me around and slammed me into the outside wall. Lost my splitter and my suspension was not at all cooperating so i ended my race there. Lousy ending to a lousy race. Im definitely not driving this car next season....

What a nasty place to have an endurance race. anyway, in qualifying, i ran a 1:31.6, my best lap to date. The race started and was running with Tim and Barry. Barry had an off so i was playing catchup to time. Then the weather started to change, which my massive suttering for me. Caused mt first spin in fact at turn 6. I was hoping to run a 1 stop, but ust over half way through my stint i get the tires worn message. i try to hold out for a few more laps, but i finally pit ahead of schedule. I chang to soft med tires and add another 10 liters of fuel and go. a few laps into this stint, i start seeing rain drops. plus i'm come up on Darren. Being un sure of the grip level, i don't take any chances. finaly after around 30 minutes, he pits and i'm free to take off, only now the track is too wet for my slicks. So i pit for soft rain, a full tank of gas and run to the end. 5th in class in a stacked GT2 field, i'll take that.

On a side note, for some reason everyone was extremely aggresive, i know i got spun, pushed aside, or dive bombed many times during this race. I expect donnington to be similar. GT1 guys, remeber it's a long race, us slower GT2 guys have a right to the road too. I'll let you guys by when i can.

For some reason I just never came close to the pace here. Testing was rubbish, practice crap, then did a PB in qually for all of tenth! As a result, I just planned a steady run & hoped to pick up something at the end. The rain made things interesting, pitted for hard wets with an hour to go & figured I could get to the end. Like Enis, though, I found those hards felt worse than the slicks and with half hour to go, what little grip they had was all but gone. What the heck, carry on anyway :) Thanks to the mishaps of a few others, I managed to pick up 4th place - about six better than I was expecting.
Tim - any chance for S4 we go back to 2hr max? That last 20 minutes is a killer on my back!
David - don't think I dive bombed you or anyone else. Some GT2's took me a lap & half to pass and I was quite happy to wait.
Finn - THAT SUCKS!
