I'm with you there regarding Top Gear...When my dad shut off the power, he also shorted out my DVR causing the Hard Drive to corrupt. I only saw the first episode with the new Reasonably Priced Car. Not only that, we're back to the stone age where we have to watch shows live.

Thought I'd completely blown it in Q3 after setting one slow lap and then promptly binned it at turn one. Still managed to squeeze into lobby C and had to fight up the order from the back of the grid. Came home second in GTE behind my brother to complete a Lunchie's Speed Shop one-two Am gutted my other team mate ApexPredator96 couldn't race due to illness get well soon mate!

Was having a decent race until after the first pit stop. I hit the kink wrong and spun the back end, hit the wall and then flipped over my AMR One, landing on the hood in the middle of the track. Obviously had to retire after that. Feel bad to let my team down after sliding from 9th to 16 in LMP1 team points. Better luck next time as they say.

I'd like to finish a race without being taken out on the last few laps, has happened twice already and I lost 2 lobby wins because of it.

Sorry to hear it bud, hope to see you in A lobby soon!

poor driving ruined my race last night first being taken out by another gte after i had already gone past on the main straight, then lap after got taken out by a lmpc whilst being lapped

Sorry to be this guy, but I'm not sure your penalty's been applied correctly - I hadn't gone a lap down to you, but you're still classified ahead of me.

Overall, my race wasn't too bad - I got off to a good start but got tagged from behind in the middle of T1 by a recovering P1 car about 4 laps in and got ~30% rear wing damage. Not enough to make the car undrivable, but enough to stop me carrying decent speed through most of the mid-fast stuff.

Really dissapointing last night!! Got to A lobby for the first time in a main series!! Everything looked promising!! Wasnt doing too bad running consistantly at the back of the Lmpc field!!! Entering the long right hander i keep to the right to let a P1 go they decide they want the inside line where ther is no room and punts me off the track!!! Ruined race!!! Trouble is this is all you could hear on chat was people hitting others due to lack of patience!!! Isnt this lobby A???? The best on Tora????? Ill be aiming for lobby B next time!!!

Had an alright race, choose to swap to a 4 gear set up before qually. Lost me afew tenths in general but made the car more stable for the race.

LMP1 and LMPC's overtook very very good, except for my Smithy who got lag bombed and it ruined his race.

Bellmond,

There were many more incidents in B lobby then there were in A lobby this round. I don't quite see the logic in bashing him over the head with this after he sincerely apologized and thoroughly explained the error he made when overtaking. I know it sucks but for your own sake consider this: Messages like this only make enemies, I've made this mistake myself and its something I hate to see because it only causes problems. I hope to see you in A lobby again as you are a good driver with the pace to belong there.

The driving from all in lobby C last night was impeccable, not a single issue in passing any of the cars, really good fun.

Lobby B was fine to some issues -

1 Driver had some lag issues

1 Driver stopped by accident on circuit near end of race

Enjoyed yourself then mate? lol

Great racing in Lobby B.
Anyone get the replay? If so could I have it please.  

I understand these things happen!! I get what your saying but it was poor! Very poor! It cant have been explained too well as i dont even know who it was!! There wer acres of space on the left!! Room that id left intentionally to allow a safe pass!! To go on the inside there was madness!! People need to find some patience or this will continue to happen!! Going balls out on every overtake isnt the way to do it!!

Patience / timing is everything.

Great racing in A lobby. but some drivers lagged out, sorry for they.

I found that Road America was very hazardous for multiple class racing with the massive speed differances around the high speed corners and the differing racing lines made perceving when and where to go very difficult

Welcome to modern day Sports car racing.  

Racing in D Lobby was very good apart from GT and LMP1 colliding. Bairly any incidents although I could say that one driver in GTE could have been easier to pass and be fair with, but unfortunately not. Grats to MysticViibrosis on the lobby win.

I'm sure it will of been mentioned before, but in case it hasn't, there are some duplication's on the points and results tables.

Who you on about Oscar?

Someone else, not you

Lobby F was mental. I won GTE but the amount of crashes that happened were silly. Fair play to BalmierPie though, for great communication with me for lapping me for the second time, it was clean and it was well thought through

Sorry I lagged out of A lobby guys, was enjoying battling rainonef1 and BG Wumba. As far as I could tell no one was doing anything stupid and the racing was pretty clean.
