I assume no one then cheers for that y not ask me to host

Not happy people. Signed in for cataluia for tonight, sat waiting for a qualifying invite, and nothing. I let some hosts know what happened,  hoping to get in the last lobby, but still no invite. I've now lost points and the will to live waiting. What a cock up !!!

Race 1 was entertaining! Holy fudge!

Sorry for being a no-show. This weekend was the daylights savings time change for me and I still do not really know what time it is.

That was entertaining! Me, Diablo and Deftone who I seem to be inseparable with, had a giant battle for most of that race and it was really fun. Even if we had tiny damage too, it was really good, and it didn't hamper us much, or such that we couldn't race.

If you hadn't have left it 1 Hour & 15 mins after qualifying was due to start to say you hadn't had an invite we could have done something about it

Good race.  Cheers to the AMR guys that was a great battle both races.
(I was in the lone Audi)

So, I managed some live streamness for Lobby A on the TORA YT Channel.

This is our attempt to see how it goes instead of using Twitch.

That was some awesome racing in lobby B. Race 1 was so close and im thinking "geez im glad it will get spread out with the pitstops." Well i was wrong, the reverse grid made it very difficult for the faster guys to get through, because there really wasnt much of a speed difference. I know I was able to hold off the top 4 from race 1 until the pit stops, and i wasnt even defending or blocking. Great racing from everyone in B lobby!

Yeah, room 1 was quite entertaining   

Just got done with GP of Spain took flight to Mugello to see what Ultimate Vodka Gave me for the nurburg race gotta say I'm really impressed with what they(myself) did    

A lobby had a serious lag spike on our last restart in heat 1. We had a red flag on the front straight while we assessed the damage and had a single file restart on the following lap. Other than that, the racing was pretty good. I'm realizing more and more that the Corvette is not a very good in-race car when it comes passing Ferrari's lolol.

A lobby was cool 1st race went good til lag skipe in which I instinctually dive bomb into the pits not caring for other people health, family, physical or mental health and went for it and came out the other side very clean and some fresh tires race 2 saw me stay in front of the train of deftone motorhead Diablo and nip for a while til nip pasts and me and deftone went at it the last two laps overall a great Spanish GP

Top speed is good but Acceleration is so much better!

problem was mad dog was that we didn't know e lobby wasn't running

Good racing there guys   

I have saved both replays from lobby C   

Awesome first race on lobby b with a lights to flag win with some cracking pressuring from Barker and Chicain, shame nobody knows how to use their mirrors when faster cars are coming through and people don't know how long their bonnets are resulting in a 12th/dnf in race 2 after getting put in the wall. Might stop doing race 2's as they never go bloody right.

disappointed that i didnt get to race last night even though i had signed but it turns out it didnt show up on the live timing screen and i did post to say that who ever was the host for the bottom could they send me an invite which never happen.even if someone points out that as a result of me not signing in then i dont get to race but as stated i had but it didnt show on the live timing.

Race 1 for me ended on lap 4 with the lag spike. I randomly spun off on the main straight into the wall. I pitted but the aero was 100% on all sides. Still managed a last lap scrap with konigsegg who was having similar issues.

Silver lining was I started 2nd on the grid for race 2. Managed to get into first on the first corner and build enough of a gap that the faster guys couldn't close in time. Bitter sweet but good fun. Bring on Nurburgring.

I did say a message in the general discussion if you couldn't see your name on LT there were some issues which I publicly told people this was to try to get as many people who signed up to race.
However if you didn't notify anyone for it it was sure to be missed as we were to busy to play spot the difference on Google doc's. I apologies for the wasted evening to everyone who didn't but wanted to race however we tried as best as we could do.

Also regarding Lobby E which turned out to not have one at all, this was done because we checked everyone who was in Lobby E and no-one was online or responded to us hence why D lobby only had 8 people in it again sorry

Lastly the good part is thank you to everyone who raced/helped out and anything because there was a 'slight'    delay so thank you for sticking about for it by the sounds of it the races were worth the wait.
Great racing in Lobby B also brilliant driving from James Hall94 some epic moves in that Beetle of yours!   

@Hurricane - Thank you so much for stepping in with LT getting results in and everything! Owe you one dude!

@ All hosts - Thank you for making it run smoothly as possible   

Cant wait to get the final round started going to be a great race im sure!  
Cheers all, Steve.
