Thanks for all the kind words and summaries in this thread. I know I've been MIA on these here forums since a bit b4 the holidaze, I'll explain that in another post. Now on to the matter at hand.
Sorry for any bumps last night. Especially towards the end of the race. I was tired as FUCK and my concentration went to shit.
Not sure if this was directed at all towards me or not, but if so, definitely not necessary. Some of the best/funnest/closest racing I've ever had last night, all around, and Wiz you were a big part of it. Rubbing's racing, and well, let me just apologize then for any bumps I handed out myself
That was the mast fun I had at one of these. Didn't have the car to compete with the Lotus's or the Solstices but felt I could have had 6th but for some brain farts here and there.
I had mic problems and couldn't hear any voices so I didn't know who was behind me. I know Phreak had a hard time getting around me and I apologize for holding you up, I would have moved over if I had known it wasn't for position. I had a great battle with Trimble all night and could have had him in the last corner but Phreak got some payback when I hit him . I know you were done and under the control of the game so you couldn't move but you must have been cringing when me and Trimble came up behind you.
Congrats to team UK for wrapping up the championship and if you could see me now I'm spitting on the Lotus .
Well done everyone and I hope w have some mother FUCKING high HP beast for the last race and please give me racing anything tires.
Agreed, some of the mast fun I've had too! No apology necessary for holding me up at all, position wise or not. I much prefer finding my own way and continually learning the art of the clean pass. You were doing just fine holding your own until I finally did get around you, and that goes for everyone involved. There wasn't a single person on the field I felt I could just scoot around and get away from, just goos goos racing all around. Honestly I think most of my passes occurred from playing the mental game and waiting for whoever I was following to make their own mistake/mental error. And yeah, I felt bad as well about the collision after my race was over and I was on autopilot. They should really run the piloted cars on, I don't know, any line other than the "best"....
I will say the START of the race was quite frustrating on a personal level, and I think it hurt me more than most. Scared if dawson was even going to make it for the start after multiple disco's. Then when we did start, first I got hit with the glitched count down so I got a false start penalty. Then I got knocked a few times and held back by the lag of the first disconnector (not his fault at all of course, but I think I was the ONLY person stuck behind him). Luckily the Evora was such a beast I was able to claw myself all the way from 12th place with about a 6 second gap to the rest of the pack and take 2nd at the end. Personally, I think it was much more fun than Dawson's clean race, as I had a lot of group/pack battles, and got to pass each and every single one of you during the race (I already have a photo montage planned of where/when I passed who!)
Thanks for the jinx on calling wraps on the series... there is still one race left you know! I think had I not gotten disco'd last week and held 3rd we might of had a lock... but breakdowns happen. So yeah, hoping for a high powered final race myself. Thanks again, and good stuff all fellow Tuna!
EDIT: I put together a little photoshoot from race 5 for anyone interested. Click thumbs for 1080 goodness, use the arrows to navigate pages. It's chronological Enjoy!
