Hello! Unfortunately, I was unable to enter because of connection problems. But it is interesting to note that (FrnachittiFan) in the main menu at 22 hours and 15 minutes, even when the race is 22 hours when it should have been starting. But when I tried to get in (and as my teammates have said) a couple of dropped riders from the host.

Well done to all last nights winners.

Lobby C was a straight forward race, I managed to get out the blocks pretty quickly and made good progress. This meant I could bend my pit strategy around the traffic and go on to be the quickest GTE in C lobby.

I had a scary moment towards the back end of the race whilst lapping a GTC. Approaching turn 1 I stayed inside "assuming per the rules" the GTC car would maintain their normal line (Apex on the right during entry)..........When it didn't and stayed to the inside I was forced to move wide and had the lightest of collisions with Louis who was attempting to lap both my GTE and the GTC car. Fortunately neither of us had any damage and we didn't really lose any time.

**IF YOU ARE BEING LAPPED, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DEVIATE FROM YOUR NORMAL LINE!!!!!! IF IT DOESN'T CAUSE YOU AN ACCIDENT THE NEXT CAR BEING LAPPED MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM YOUR NORMAL RACING LINE**

thanks for all the kind words guys...happy to have my 1st win under my belt, especially in an R3 car (just ask my team mates, theres been no shortage of me explaining my disdain for R class cars this season lol) the race was a good one, despite a big "mistake" on my part...

so there was a massive confusion (at least to me) about weather we were starting, or waiting for the GTC cars to bunch up as we came around the last bend and onto the straight. i guess "go" was called from P1, and i missed it...didnt hear it at all, so all the advantage of qualifying P1 gone by turn one...this led to a few laps of frustrated driving, until i settled in, and got back into rhythm, started reducing the amount of real estate id lost to rice during those poor laps of driving frustrated...caught him, and ran with him for a few laps, then took my first pit. coming out of the pits, i pushed like crazy, turning (what i felt) were some of the best laps id end up running all race. a couple laps or so later Rice came into the pits...when he did, i knew it was going to be close, so i did all i could to hustle that car around as best as i could. approaching the second to last turn i hear "rice coming out of the pits" pulse increases...start down the front straight and see him exiting (and we all know that retarded thing it does where it slams on the brakes before it gives you control) i start catching him more we're almost neck and neck as he enters the sticky part of the pit exit...i know he has a significantly shorter path, but that the sticky stuff makes it a bit unpredictable, so i tear around that corner and see him coming into view as i exit...my pulse is racing, as i make the pass for the lead by the narrowest of margins, and that was the biggest moment of the race as really id see the lead grow, and shrink depending on my focus on the track, combined with just dumb luck through traffic....super great race glad to have a 1-2 for the team, and cant wait for the next round.

Cheers guys 1st

, didn't expect to win that one and was fortunate to seeing as Crunk had to change his batteries, after that it was a quiet race for me until the last lap when I had a minor tap with Mikem. As for the start I was telling people we were good to go as I was basically at the back at the pack, there seemed no issues in the start for me to be quite frank and honest.
