Suzuka NAGT

Disconnect in the last lap on third position. And this at one of the best race i ever drive...

Sebastian What a shame! I would like to apologize for the touch, there in the chicane I was a little faster and when I arrived sooner you braked, unfortunately touched, waited for you to return the position that was the right thing to do. Too bad you missed the connection, large wage disputes and you were pretty quick. Congratulations on running and better luck next time.

I got a disconnect too. Last lap, last corner. After everyone had congratulated everyone etc. Pretty "lame" DNF but indeed not as bad as yours Sebastian. I have no clue of why as well but the blue "sync game" screen that came up within 2 minutes on the server for practice should have been a hint.

To race this was a very last-minute decision as all my efforts were being put towards the PMSC. I don't even like that much the NAGT mod. As a matter of fact, I don't like much multicar mods where one should pick a different car every week depending on the track.

Anyhow, I had a few minutes left and couldn't stand the Porsche anymore so decided to give it a go. My intention was just to get mileage, practice consistency and maybe get some dices with someone midpack. Unfortunately I only got the mileage.

I started by qualifying with the harder tyres and not stickers. Lol at me, only realized it moving to race. At the start I was extra careful (as I try to always be) and lost two positions during L1. No problem. Unfortunately my last minute setup changes were not the best in terms of handling and I spun on L1 still getting used to the car.

Then I hopped back some 20s behind Colin and kept "playing" with that gap. Veeeery slowly it was on 17s and I was glad with it, but it all ended when someone had trouble with a backmarker ahead and both cars stopped sideways in the middle of a high speed turn. Nowhere to go I T boned one of them and from then on it was just about bringing my wreck home for some 30 more minutes or so. Pretty lame.

Looking at the lap times for the race it looks like I could have stuck closer to the front pack but I lacked both track and car knowledge. I absolutely hated the car by the way, felt like I was driving a war tank.

First race at race2play, it was good !
Sorry for the guy i touched..., i don't remember his name !

Kept the Volvo back for this last event in this series and i am not so sure if it was a good move or not, car felt good but i had to back off half distance as it became clear that my tyres were not going to last the distance so i dropped from 2nd to 4th without much argument and from lap 15 or so it was just a case of nurse it home.
Leen with another Volvo kept me alert for the first bit of the race but he looked slow on the straights but he was still a shadow in my mirrors as we came to the final few laps but i guess his tyres were just as bad as mine as he never got close enough to try a move.
I was luck to get 3rd as a disconnect to the car in front gifted me the place and it seemed lady luck was in my corner as i also disconnected but at least i was back in the pits when i also lost connection.

I really enjoyed this series, the cars are great to drive and you really have to manage the tyres well, the brakes are also tricky as hell and i guess those with load cells hold a slight advantage here, me i am still using an old antique modded act labs A1 GT set.

I will miss this series next season as the new time slot makes it hard for those of us in western europe so i guess we will have to venture to new pastures to get some more races.

Thnx to all who made this a great season.

Decided at last minute to run this race. I really hate Suzuka, its like a roller coaster/golf course! But the good ol vette was easy to drive so I decided to give it a shot. My qualify was off a bit, but good enough. My race was going good and my last minute changes to my setup were dead on! I was able to quickly pass my way up to second place, when...
I lost my concentration near the pits at the kink and took the service road! By the time I got it turned around and back on course, everybody was past me(suzuka strikes again). Then was workin my way back to a stable rythum and noticed a driver wandering around left and right on the straight and when I tried to pass we connected hard. made it to the pits for a 50 second stop for repairs and tyres. By the time I got back out it was just a test session from then on...I like this series, and I like the time slot. I hope the time slot will either remain the same or be earlier next season. If it is then count me in for the whole season!
