Fun race as always, nice to have a full room. I was running 8th or 9th setting up for a pass, took the wrong line and ended up in the sand on the last lap. By the time I got back on the track I was crawling and got passed by 2 or 3 to finish 11th.

So, come to think of it, a couple people jumped the start and I got my berkeleying clock cleaned. I wonder if that explains the slow times. WTF was up with that?

I think alot of people can chalk that up to a E36 M3ty week. I was so comfortable in 4th and was just trying to figure out my pit strategy... and BAM! Power outage.

Good race. I lost a lot of time in the pits, I was running mid 28's following racerfink but couldn't do it by myself.

The finishing order pic from Sebring is page 34. I know Bootsy won, I finished 2nd, and Atticus finished 3rd last night. Beyond that, I don't know, and my replay ends too early to see the order.

I finished 4th. FGC and someone else had a real close race for 5th. I think FGC ended up with 6th.

Yeah, I screwed up the last chicane. Redline went right by me, he was 5th.

I hate chicanes. Isn't next week's track about half chicane?

Nah, it's a very small version of Sebring.

Speaking of next week's track. Was just doing some tuning, and reminded myself of why when you make changes save the setup. I managed a 1:17.5xx while consistently doing 17.8's. Made some changes to try to get faster and haven't been back below an 18 since; mostly I'm at 18.5's now. My first sector times are faster by a tenth or two. My corner exit speeds are higher in theory I should be faster, and so, I've lost a second in the second half of the track, somewhere. Argh.

Last week, but only through 12th. Poop got a screen capture, some of us should do this more often.

I've actually been trying to save replays..but the xBox doesn't seem able to save the entire race when ours are so long. Yeah, "Sad Panda", etc. OTOH, I looked up the points as stated by the creator of the series, no points are given for finishing 13th-16th anyway.

After watching replay: Lainford "stalled" on start, leaving FGC and me as sitting ducks. I got tagged hard twice (not the other drivers' faults) was all gimpy but didn't realize it.

I been practicing the Hockenheim Short for this week. It's a fast track with a few 3rd gear corners(The first dog leg is 3rd at about 80mph) and the little Sahlen's Mazda 2 is running 1:19's clean with no mistakes. The pits are easy and fast wiht the turn in right at the end of the last corner. Here's a little taste for ya all:

Last weeks race was a bast with FGC. I calieve he t the door open on thvery last chicane so get through clean a fast, but then again I am faster through that entre section than he was. I have been having a blast practicig with the crew and learning some of he better moves throgh the corners. Thsafor me though was moing from 11th to 4th and racing FGC the entire time. I think we are both getting faster with all the nighly practice too
