that was a great 2nd race till i lagged out or whatever happened.Jenson and deathsendhippy were inches away from each other on the last corner.Watched the replay twice already.

Btw im loving jenson's new cornering Razz

race 1 was pretty quiet on most fronts. i tried my darnedest to keep up with Slim, but found myself making mistakes. Razz

i like Suzuka, but sometimes suzuka itself doesnt like me. lol. race 2 was a bit more eventful. i managed to squeeze through everything clean and again, was making small mistakes through the 2nd half of the race. at one point, Spoon corner caught me off gaurd 2 laps in a row, and turn 2 lifted the driver side of my Vette on 2 consecutive laps causing me to lose time. Razz

but i had fun. congrats to Chillz and Slim for their wins (i got both replays up on my SF)

Two potentially great races ruined by a crappy connection. My ISP has had an earfull!
Was running the car 1.5s quicker than in qualy which would have put me VERY close to A Lobby.
Second race saw me in a brilliant battle with deathsendhippy and garyp. Lots of close passing and all making little mistakes. Fantastic!
Shame about the outcome, it could have been good Sad

Judging by the way I got rear-ended 3 times in race two, I should probably just go ahead and paint a target on the back of my car and be done with it.

by **Matt** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 11:29

Starting back in Fracnce already (no ash here!) and getting 1.40.362 dirty lap at the moment. Best clean is about half a second or so up on that. I'm sure Chillz will be in the low 30's then!

Drove the wheels off the TVR last night, its a bit of a shame I had nothing really to show for it in A lobby. Had a few battles with AJ/Duncan but couldn't really join in the fun they were having.
Thanks go to Duncan though for not crying like a baby whenever there was a bit of contact.

by **CQR Rogue** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 14:51

Troff it was a great race between myslef u and AJ in race 1, Congrats 2 slim and Chillz for race victorys, and well done 2 switch and Areo for some great track battles

Not being funny mate but how many times did you rear end me in the Mini's at Bugatti whilst constantly bitching about how slow I was just because you couldn't get past.

by **CQR Aero** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 16:59

I think compared to my "usual level" of outburstiness, I was quite restrained last night!

by Britracer Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 17:18

I was stuck in Heathrow and couldn't get to Japan in time for the race Razz

by **Ianmr** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 17:23

yea....lol....I was stuck with the Team testing a Knockhill and couldn't get over.... lol

by nickyf1 Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 17:25

By the looks of things, you guys often struggle to race, nick has complained to me before about being rear ended by other drivers. People need to stop worrying about the laptimes side of things and start worrying about how they are going to cleanly race with someone else.

Racecraft is everything.

by Crisis Nine Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 17:50

The racing at the moment is much cleaner than at any time before Nicky so thats just not the case at all.

by **Richy59** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 19:38

Again with this. Nicky, you can't say anything about the racing that is taking place as you do not take part in any of the races. Please, stop going on about this and just keep it to yourself.

by its troff Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 22:11

Was just about to say something similar Richy. I think the lack of racing related SI's of late is proof enough.

by HCR generaltso Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 22:14

nicky. go watch richy's 3 replay's from catalunya in the mini's and tell me that wasnt good racing...

by **Richy59** Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 22:29

Ian's replays Wink

Even our GT3 races from Motegi were brilliant. Ian, Aero and Rogue had a fantastic all race long battle in race 1 and never touched each other and me, Louis and Y22 had a great race with each other over the course of the 2 races. From what I have seen so far this season everyone has picked up their game and it has produced some of the best racing I have seen within TORA. Some people stive for laptime before teh races to prove they are the fastes but come race day everyone get stheir heads down and gets on with it. Yes, the start was a bit hectic but thatw as mainly due to it being a new game and an awful track. Things have gotten much better.

by HCR generaltso Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 22:44

errrrrr

sorry worng M&M car and wrong track...haha

watch ian's replays from catalunya

THEN go watch richy's replays from mugello!!!! (which is the one i originally meant to say)

you had to have seen the 3 wide, me biggs and chaddy down the front straight at the end of race 1.

race 2, and race 3 were great too

by **Matt** Tue 20 Apr 2010 - 8:15

Richy I know what you mean about laptimes.
Apart from Chillz's qually time everyone seemed to be abit slower than practice times. I think alot of peope have a 'qualifying mode' and a 'race mode' when they drive. It really is proving to be a brilliant season. Smile
