[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Woo woo woo, you mean that the next TCM discussion thread wont have the line "last time we had WWR Chillz topping the tables" I am gonna have to change the template at that bit too

[Britracer]

I'm really looking forward to the final round now, there may be extensive development of the new O-duct we have developed

[HCR generaltso]

YES!!!

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Not bad racing tonight but I hate the last corners I just cant do them good but am far too quick in the first corners

[Slider S15]

sory to A lobby, i tried everything i could to fix the lag

[Radiation Louis]

Well done Gashi!

[WWR Chillz]

How did Selective Rogue get into A Lobby when he was slower in qualifying than Chucky and ADxGarage??? Was it a connection issue? Just curious.
Anyway, well done Gashi and General. See you all Sunday at Laguna!

[HCR generaltso]

yeah, i asked the same question cause chucky's teammate.

ADX couldnt connect with selective.

[WWR Chillz]

General seems to be stringing together a good run of results recently. He is the man on the move!!! Well done to you sir!

[Sam Billing1991]

I had some rotten luck, first my router played up and needed resetting twice, menaing I caught quili as it was finishing Then when it came to the race I couldn't connect to the lobby and was feeling like death warmed up a bit, so switched the 'box off and went to sleep for a bit. I did send CK a message but accept any point for non attendance

[x Gashi x]

It was great fun today. I don't know how General got past everyone at the start of the first race, but I couldn't make a clean move around him in the bends and the merc was a steamin' down the straights. Second race, I had to pressure Slider who was lagging horribly, after daring to get close enough to capitalize on a slight bobble, the lag struck and destroyed Slider. I am sorry to have been part of the crash but I got away without a scratch. How did the other lobby work out?

[Ax4x Chaddy]

Title battle is hotting up! cant wait to see the out come, think im defo getting a top 3 in this championship now

if it was'nt for my controller dieing id have done a LOT better!

still great brave pass on AJ round the outside into turn one like Raikkonen!

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

How did the other lobby work out?

Race 1 as I say is a venture into the unknown with all the cars going into the first corner not knowing how the others do that corner is all too scary sometimes but was nice and clean this time, garage and aero was having a good battle at the front, i messed up and ran wide a few times getting to the back of the grid then coming into the first corner being right near to gary and at second corner hitting gary off the track, I stopped and waited for gary to get back on track and in front of me and then got passed him after a couple of corners as he let me pass. so on lap 3 the order being, garage, aero, ck, chucky and gary. there was a 13 second gap between me and ck rest of the race was clean, aero got pass garage and took the lead, I think they swapped again later on and then aero got back pass but not too sure. as I had my head down trying to catch ck. by end of the race I was 5 seconds behind ck with him being shocked how I was catching him.

Race 2 being the reverse grid, this race was nice and clean aero and garage getting into the front again with me and 3rd and gary in 4th and ck in 5th, with garage leading the race and aero and me right behind him he went off at the second corner and lost both places, race finished with aero then chucky then garage then gary and then ck.

Race 3 now being top lobby, no mistakes now and really ending how it started, at one point I was saying to aero as going down the stright how I hate the last corner as I cant get the speed out of it and he was starting to tell me how to try it but before he could finish was at the first two corners and surprised him how first I could go into those corners and somehow avoided hitting him off the road (may do a video of that)
