Donington 400k

YES! Server kicked me out when we advanced to Warmup. Now that's what I call THE netcode!

Can't even explain how f*king irritating this is. F*king shit.

All cars dissapperead when someone left end of Q2. Had advanced to warmup then.
Great way to end the season :-|
Grats to my teammate for winning GT2 overall, no point in going to Spa now

Lousy race on a lousy track. Didn't have much practice to begin with and on a wet racetrack, it only made things worse.

Qualified with the 2nd to slowest time in GT1 after only one lap because of the softs giving up.

Race was in wet conditions but it was drying out in hot temps so my tires fried. Tried to get around Bob and Joe in the first few laps but everytime i got up to them, i made a mistake which kept sending me back into the GT2 field. Finally, i just went with slicks since a lot of the track was already dry but ended up making a mistake at the Old Hairpin which sent me in the wall, killing my engine.

Oh well. Not a big deal. My focus is now on Spa...a track i really like :D

Was sad to see 2 of the fastest cars get dumped before race even started.

I had a soso qual but was good enough to take pole.

Race was going fairly well with wet tires, opened up a 42 second lead in my first stint. Came in for tires and couldn't decide what to do. Track was definately drier but there was still a lot of spray so I figured it was damp and I saw a lot of cars come out of the pits and sliding off track, I figured they had tried slicks so I opted to go with wet fronts and intermediate rears. Camoe out in second but exited pits right with Sam, Will and Darin. I let Sam and Wil go bye and Darin was all over me for some reason but I eventually pulled away as the lap progressed. I could tell that my tire coice was not a good one as the front was pushing real bad. Started my third lap out after my stop and locked the front and slif into the wall at T1, engine dead race over.

I left the computer and came back to check on the progress of the race and when I clicked "CONTINUE" I got CTD. Hope that didn't screw anyone.

Like CJ I am done with S3, no point in crueling out 3 hours at Spa as I think 3 hours is just a rediculous amount of time to race, hell I think 2:24 is too long.

So with S3 done for me and undecided on what I am going to as far as Race2Play and S4 my guess is I will only be running GT-X and maybe PCC.

Crap! Crap! Crap! Dang it.

Was having a good race ... You know, right up to that point where I plowed into the wall, flipped and lost half my car. Ahhh, but that's just a detail.

Started on wet/wets, which was fine for the fronts but was cooking the rears. With rear temps running in the 130s the first stint soon became one of car management and not doing anything silly. I ran between third and fifth for much of that stint, but as I started getting passed near the end of it I figured those guys had gone for tires and they were working.

I came in and put on wet/intermediates and I was right: Another lap, they came up to temp, and I had grip for days! Too much grip, actually. I went down the hill, lifted slightly to float the rear end around that little left dogleg like I had been, except the rear didn't budge! I understeered past it, went into the grass, and from there it was a straight shot to the far wall with a full head of steam.

Dang it.

My race was sslloowww. I started on soft wets all around for a while, eventually cooking them, so I put on hard wets. After a dozen laps or so those were cooking so I put on intermediates. Again, they cooked a few laps later, now we're about a hour + into the race so I put on soft slicks, then after a few laps they were already cooked, but the track appeared to be wet in more spots than not. So I put on med slicks all around that seemed to be good. With about 55 minutes left, and looking at a 7 or 8th position at the worst, the car lost grip and I hit the wall hard, killing the engine and it wouldn't restart, and the suspension was broken. Doggone it! I was really hoping to get a few more points from this one. Oh well, so it goes sometimes.

Crashed out and blew the motor early. Can't say I was disappointed. I just can't get into GTR anymore. Not being allowed to recover from a potential spin is quite frustrating. I just lost all feel with this game it seems. Ah well, I guess I'll still run Spa for the heck of it.

Skipped this one, I had no practice and when i woke up an hour early to get a setup, i just felt like crap, so i went back to bed rather than fight my computer and be in the way of everyone. Spa is nearly a month away and after my Finals, so i should have lots of practice for that.

Started dead last so podium finish is decent result. Woot!

Special thanks to Over The Hill Racing Technical Director Sir Pete of Bunce for race setup which made this team result possible.

Unlike Conor, I love Donington. Definitely one of my favorite tracks, though I'd prefer the old course to the GP course. Anyway, everything was just kind of mediocre today. Qualified mid-pack. Got a couple decent laps in, but nothing perfect.

For the race I went with hard wet/hard wet and they actually worked quite well at the start. Couldn't see much through Boyd's spray, plus I couldn't see any cars unless I was within about a second of them all day. That made things hairy.

I hung on as long as I could with those wet tires on the drying track, probably too long, and eventually came in and took slicks. It was a little wild the first couple laps, but the track kept drying and eventually came to me. About halfway through the stint I had a couple offs when I started pushing too hard. Did some aero damage which I fixed in the second stop.

Third stint was pretty uneventful. It was about a lap gap to the cars ahead and behind, so I just cruised. Until I zoned out with 5 minutes left, hit the wall, and blew a tire. I managed to limp around, change it and not lose a spot. Oh well. On to Spa.
