Point taken and accepted, though rather than it blending in next time it will be appreciated if it was in a different colour/size. I accept yes, I have skipped past it and that's the end of it but please use this feedback positively!

EDIT (again): I continue to dig myself a massive hole. You ahve put it as a special sticky already, apologies

3 races(dont know what teh penalty will be on GT...) and then some time off, better for me, have to work on the confidence side...
Before the race I agreed with foot I am not going to attack first lap( he is a slow starter, I am pushing when the flag drops...)and gues what happened?
I was faster away ,both went into the first corner, I hesitated and we collided....
Purely my mistake as it the last weeks.....
I tried to race for half an hour with a oversteered car but I found myself to dangerous for the other drivers so I pulled out.
Last time I looked I had 33 miles but I dont know when that was. Right before pulling out I didnt check......
2 times nordschleife and 1 time Indy and then a few weeks off.....
I am really loving the testing, tuning and online racing but atm the confidence is at a low point.
Sorry guys (especially CD 195) for the destruction derby I have been driven lately.
2013 will be a much more patience year for me....

that was epic! Koenigsegg started from the pit lane and F4H music man and i had an epic battler for first for the first 3rd of the race...constantly trading spots back and forth...

I jump in the pits, then music man jumps in the pits...and comes out right in front of me...

And as he's coming out of the pits, Koeniggsegg is right behind us!

music man and I each made mistakes with traffic and getting held up...

Koenigsegg managed to lap us both.

epic drive from him. def deserved the win.

and what an epic race. going 3 wide through turn 1 with simon and hamilton had my heart racing.

so much fun today.

Hope everyone had a good race, I unfortunatly counln't be home for this one but congrads to Rice on winning the campionship.

Congrats to Dan for winning the P1 Championship!

Don't worry man. I still had a fun race. Myself I'm sorry for the little collision I caused after my second pitstop. Anyway, great racing tonight. Had a special moment "slipping" between two LMP2 which were passing each other on the back straight. That was just "wow". Really like this kind of racing. Have to think about participating in more races next year.

I was at 72 miles when you left, so I reported this distance.

i'm just glad the 2nd half of the ISCC season is over. now i can send the Porsche 997 GT3RSR to the junkyard and turn it into a cube.

Road Atlanta + Porsche GTE = Does Not Compute

WOW! What a dream come true. To win a championship for Aston Martin Racing!!
That felt like the race of my life and I'm so glad to cease my efforts of online racing (for a while) by finishing on a high.

A big, big, big, big thank you to my team mate Louis Satterlee (Audisport Louis) for his outstanding efforts this season to help contribute to clinching the teams championship. A magnificant effort from you my friend!
And I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone whom I had the pleasure of racing against and teaming up with for the past year or two.

For now, I shall say "Au revoir" and hope to see you all again very soon. Cheers everyone!

MASSIVE Congratulations Dan, very well deserved

Fine job, Dan! Always a pleasure racing with you!

that is a wrap on THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ISCC SEASON TO DATE! thank you all and stay tuned for the awards thread should be posted up by tomorrow evening at the latest

hey dan....

What a great way to finish the season, after a botched qualifying I had a lot of time to make up.

First half kept it clean and easy, just a Sunday drive. After my second pit at half way, it was time to go. After the hard racing and nearly wrecking twice in the last 5mins I still came in 3rd!!!

Great season and thanks to everyone for the amazing races through the year, and thanks to Louis for giving me a ride in both P2 and the GTE. Lets get that championship next year!!!

Oh ya.....

Great race tonight well done to everyone who raced, won
and all its been a great first season of ISCC. To win the Privateer championship in GTC and to clinch 2nd as well in the drivers. Amazing result for the gummy bear didnt expect to be anywhere near as it.

Congratulations to BG Wumba for the GTC win and championship well deserved mate.

So sad I couldn't be there :'(
Stupid work

Also a very much deserved thank you to Louis for organising 'the most successful ISCC season ever' - obviously wouldn't be possible without him, and also the rest of the TORA staff for making it too.

Excellente!

That means a lot, we sacrifice a lot to put on a great series for truly great individuals such as yourselves, its your feed back that keeps us going through the worst of times and the best of times! thank you all again for making not only my thoughts a reality but yours as well as i said many times before, this isn't one individuals vision of sports car racing it's the community's! Many of the idea's you guys have come up with, have made this series what it is today!

cant wait for the next season so i can compete

just what we need, more people to beat

WHO KNEW SKODA WAS GOOD AT SOMETHING!!??

Engine
Team

Racing in 2012 for me across TORA and FF was very fortunate.

Congrats to all the winners!

Now for the race:
Qualy'd good, got to a good start, but very rough. I lost a lot of ground because I couldn't find my rythem early but I found it after Modafaya crashed out.

Louis and I had a good battle for a while until I caught the grass in the esses and smashed the wall. 80% front damage and 60% side damage. I wanted to end the season with dignity so I soldiered on! I even played tow truck (draft) for some of the GTE/GTC cars when I went by just to be nice. I made it fun despite a ruined race.

What the future holds for me after SuperGT, TGT and N8 is undetermined but I was very happy with the racing!
