Penalties
Race 1
Killagorilla did a deep pass on Shayne, and ran wide clipping Shayne – an incident (just).
Simone turned into Phil, but Phil was side-by-side and a little bit back – incident.

Race 2
Similar to race 1, but with roles reversed – RussG had a side-by-side incident.
A bit of a chain collision – Phil.8 bumped Killagorilla into Freezer into the corkscrew, which eventually sent Freezer of track, but maybe not directly as a result of the collision – incident (just).

Race 3
None.

Season Podium
Congratulation to season 20 champion, Kcender87, in his inaugural championship win.
Kcender was on top of the standings for the entire round - an outstanding result.

1. Kcender87, 695 pts
2. Matthew.111, 609

Awesome nights racing, thanks to everyone around in all three races.  Never liked Laguna Seca but the racing tonight was epic. 

The first race was the hardest battle for ...... second last ...... ever.  And that was on pure pace  ::)

The second race I decided to just throw away first place with a decent gap, just because I am a nice guy.

Third race was spent waiting for Simone to get to Wally and take each other out, never happened but had a great run anyway.  Didn't really appreciate the "forceful" move from grat but no harm, not foul.

Ended up with second last, 11th (beaten to 10th by RussG by about 2 inches) and a 6th.  Slow learner...

Have had some great racing in this series, close battles encouraged by the type of car.  Hope next season is just as good.

Best Average Finish: Kcender87, 4.3
Most Poles: Phil.8, 3
Most Fastest Laps: Matthew.111, 7
Most Consistent: Kcender87, 8
Hunter: Phil.8 and Shayne, 3
Hunted: Joe, 4
Busiest: buellersdayoff, 3
Loneliest: Dave O, 3

I just had a look at the all-time stats. Kcender87 has now taken the all-time most consistent award, being the most consistent in 20.9% of the races he's been in.

Congrads  to Kcender, being to most consistent in 21% of entered races are almost GB like  ;D

Had some good racing, Matthew gave me a lesson in defensive driving in race 1,  Russ doing the same in race 3, couple of great moves Russ. Race 3 ended with a hail mary dive at the last corner to pass Bacchulum, unfortunately the contact with Bacchulum was a bit too hard to make it a fair pass so had to let him take the position back  :P   Race 2 ended in a temper tantrum quit to the pits, felt that Grat pushed me off the road, not that it would have mattered as AC disconnected not long after.

Overall not a good race for Maki Engineering, onward to season 21 Freezer!

Looks like my race 2 was much more eventful than I thought. :( Unfortunately for some reason I do not have a replay for that race, nor I can remember the episode. If you manage to have a pick, please let me know. Otherwise (or in any case) sorry.

It was good racing last night. In race 1 I wasn't really chasing anyone, but I had Simone 0.5 secs off my ass for the whole race. It's always a pleasure to finish in front of Simone.


Race 2 was some nice close racing with the likes of killagorilla, Bacchulum and Grat for a fair slab of the race, with a few position changes here and there. Again, finished one spot in front of Simone.


Race 3 went really well. I made it to 5th courtesy of offs from Phil and Buellersdayoff, and then eventually 4th after capitalising on a mistake from Bacchulum. From there, it was hard work to hold off the persistent Grat for a couple of laps, to finish 4th, my best result for the season.


I quite enjoyed the little Beemer. I like cars which are easy to drive, but can still get a little sideways if you mistreat them too much.

Great race event and series, thanks Wally.
 Guys mentioning the hot medium tyres early on in the season, must have been a bug that was fixed in one of those small updates. Cooking tyres with normal racing didn't seem right, just my guess.
Q. failed to post my fastest practice time, wasn't carrying enough fuel for the session.
R1. Jump start...doh! Drive through, press on to try and make some ground, good clean racing no contacts.
R2. Even more good clean racing try to pass the same guys from r1. Got to the lead briefly but Kcender came storming through and I choked, set my fastest lap trying to follow but hit a sausage on the fast left after corkscrew, huge tank slap but held on for second.
R3. Running with Kcender and Matthew hoping to maintain 3rd but I put tyre into the sand out of turn 4 which kind of got caught on the curb or something, another major tank slap that was not so forgiving and nosed it into the wall. Crew chief said come on its only aero damage so I pressed on with cracked windows and shaking bonnet.
Absolutely awesome race session despite my mistakes, at least they weren't costly for others as they had been in the past. I've used crew chief this round and the last, I find it quite good especially in conjunction with helicorsa, except it gets busy when four wide like the beginning of race two at Okayama. I don't use it with the cobra, doesn't seem right for the era. I didn't bother with downloading opponents names as someone mentioned you hear the same names all the time. It's also funny when you get...for f**k sake, track limits.

Qualy was a bit average. I've done a few 1:33.7's and 8's before, but somehow I didn't get it right yesterday although I actually did have a pretty clear track...no one but myself to blame.

So after gaining a couple of positions I was following Mael and Matthew at a close distance, but there's no opportunity to overtake. It was a good race for me anyway.
Shayne, sorry about what I've done to you there. I've got no recollection about this and tried watching it on replay, but race 1 didn't get auto-saved...no idea what happened.

Race two was a lot of fun...plenty of position changes and generally pretty clean racing.
Freezer, guess you read Wally's post...sorry, but not my fault. Looking at the replay it does look like it was my impact which sent you off.
Phil.8, sorry I was involved in you going off again. You were upset and blaming me over the radio. However, looking at the replay I have to say again, pretty much 100% your fault.
After your tussle with Grat you were coming out of the right hander at the bottom of the hill a bit slowly so going up the hill I was slightly ahead of you before the left-hand turn, but I was braking a tad earlier and more not being on the race line and in order to give you space on the outside of the track (you're welcome). So space for you was there, but you didn't use it and went too far towards the apex where I was. Sorry, but I gotta ask the question, what do you want me to do in situations like that?
Worth watching the replay imo...ideally the one at Okayama as well.
However, we've had some good side by side racing before in this race...was fun even though I lost that one :-)

In race 3 I was by myself most of the time. Managed to overtake Bacchulum pretty early and built up a gap.
It was good racing and I'm happy as Larry about finishing the series on 3...of course I know I'm not the 3rd fastest...lucky I guess.
At the beginning I didn't get too excited about this BMW 235i, but it grew on me a bit...was a fun series.
Thanks everyone and Wally for organizing this so well.

if that was 100% my fault I give up racing you ,  you give no room ever and along with a few others I have learnt my lesson and will not race you anymore, if I see you near me I will pull over and let you go, as  I do with Grat, unfortunately he decided to barge pass in the dipper thing b4 I could let him go this race, In hindsight I should of know better and let him past up the hill

It looks pretty lineball to me. Side to side contacts are always the hardest to avoid. I would call this a racing incident. Killagorilla had nowhere to go in the corner, but Phil could have gone wider. Killagorilla could have backed off coming into the corner, but why should he? He had his nose in front.

Congrats to kcender on the season, his runs in the reverse grids were awesome!

qual didnt get the lap together, was on a good one at the end but stuffed it at the 2nd last turn so finished 4th where i stayed all race 1 with mael on my tail was a good pressure battle, i decided to switch to hard tyres for the race since i saw some overheating in qual. This was a bad move couldnt get any heat in the tyres and my pressures were too low so race 1 was a struggle for pace.

Race 2: Had some good battles on the way to a surprising 3rd, avoided being in the wrong place at the wrong time which helps lol.

Race 3: Enjoyed this race as simple as it was lol, Again went hard tyres since the track temps were higher so i figured it would work also had the pressure right this time and the tyres worked well, i thought the extra heat would hurt kcender on the mediums but it didnt seem to despite the pace being pretty quick and consistent, was a good battle to the finish with the gap between 1 and 2 secs all race at qual pace lol nobody blinked so was cool :)

Its ok, I may be wrong this time, don't watch replays, so no I have not see it, all I know is that every week I have an accident with you and yet others I can do laps side by side, and am sick of it and as I like clean racing and could not give a shit about results I am not going to bother been near you on track, simply solved !

Maybe it's just like Mael and myself.
I see him race cleanly with others, I've raced cleanly with yourself amongst others, but whenever we're near each other there seems to be contact.

I think its vastly different mindsets and styles, at the time I said to myself why didn't he back off and taken the corner tighter so there is no chance of us coming together, anyway that's what I would of done and probably lost a position, but we would both still be racing,  not just take the corner as normal and drive merrily up the middle of the track, I play the game as its my car I don't want to dent or smash, I guess I have to accept not everyone plays like that

Mate, we were both going through this turn rather slowly. If you were able to watch the replay you would see the difference in speed between us in reference to I think it's Grat behind us. He was gaining big time there. That proves that I was not going full speed through this turn, but rather cautiously in order to give you space. My left wheels were on the kerb btw.
I understand it is useless discussing that with you as you have a different perception of what happened there and before at Okayama.
In this series there were 3 situations where you were running bluntly into the back of me. The way I see it, what you were doing at Okayama was pretty brutal.
I've certainly made mistakes myself during this series, but as far as I know or remember it were others suffering from that and not really you.
Btw. just a few laps before in this race we were going side by side through 3 or 4 turns without contact...yeah, what can I say...you do whatever you gotta do

Can't be my fault  ;D

In all seriousness, I knew I was taking a huge risk with the pass on the last corner and that it would likely end in tears. But I also took into account that the contact would be at low speed and that both of us were unlikely to loose any positions. So sort of contact on purpose with a faint hope of it maybe working. In general I'm not against contact as long as all drivers involve stays on the track, it is part of tin top racing (big no no if open wheel cars).

 I enjoy racing against Bacchulum,  always makes you work for a pass. The Thursday contacts i blame on the cars, barely in control when going in a straight line  :o

Are you saying you normally just "pull over and let me go"? That's pretty sad. I always liked racing with you because we often have similar speed. Now I know I should not bother. :(

I don't know what's going on, but this forum seems to get more negative every day. I think we already lost some good contributors and racers in the past year or so. Of course the blame is also on them (some have a pretty weird character), but this was the first season I remember people really fighting on discord/teamspeak. I am not sure why, but I do not like that.

We have to keep a good balance between healthy discussion and getting too personal or heated about it.

The human mind is a funny, deeply flawed thing. It's inner dialogue probably goes like this while you're on track: "There's that guy that always hits me. I bet he's going to hit me now. He's going to squeeze me off the track, I just know it..." *BANG*

Hey guys!! Cmon...i think i am the oldest here in terms of age and in terms of how long i have been playing with you......many years i ll tell ya.
I have learnt one thing. I learnt that everybody deserves a degree of respect and that this racing XGN online is too precious to be obliterated by inner fight about..........about nothing.
I myself had a share of silly discussions in the past and i was taking it way too seriously but i know that this is not the place  to start a road rage.This is a place where after working all day you finally sit and relax and chat about racing online with your friends...chat about cars...chat about tracks...setups and if you want even chat about your life.
This bloody XGN gives me a feeling of belonging and is warm when on tuesday night i say with my WEIRD accent....HELLO GUYS, cant wait to kick your arse tonight!!

In qually I didn't get any decent laps in so was happy to qualify 7th.

Race 1: Missed the start and lost a couple of spots. The bloody sausauge kerbs kept getting me a little bit, then I hit one good which let Wally and Simone :( through and on the run to the left hander that leads up the hill I was protecting the inside line when JamieP swooped around the outside, made contact and I spun off. Clawed back a little to finish 11th.

Race2: Tagged by Simone :P twice in maybe T3 lap 1 and I spun off. He immediately apologised and redressed  8). I had recovered some places with others going off, then somehow grat wound up behind me. Coming down out of the corkscrew a bunch in front of me were squabbling over places and I was baulked slightly, grat swooped around the outside, made some side by side contact and I spun off. Somehow recovered somewhat, then outdragged ab156 out of the last turn to finish 10th by about 1 inch (25mm for the youngsters).

Race 3: Started OK, but grat was behind me. We had plenty of contacts, one side to side when Shayne warped badly coming down from the corkscrew and I baulked to see what would happen, then a number of hurry up taps heading up to the corkscrew  :o I guess I wasn't fast enough .. hahah. Eventually grat got by when I hit a @#$%^ sausauge kerb, then had some fantastic racing defending from Mael but he finally got through. Finished 10th again.

Despite the offs, I had a great time in this round.
Congrats to the season winners.
