I'm away from the 10th Jan for two weeks.

There is a key difference here. Russ and me side by side, so we both left each other room at the last turn.
Killa and Russ NOT side by side so Killa has the line.
You said yourself Russ it was not a good move . . . and that about sums it up. A little bit too keen and it didn't come off . . it happens!

killa, what I meant by do you watch Motor racing was that you will see attempts to outbrake on the inside a lot. Some come off some don't. Usually the driver on the outside will be aware that someone is taking a stab and leave some space instead of diving for the apex.
You must remember that once someone is braking later up the inside, there is nothing more they can do. It is only the driver on the outside who can decide whether to have an accident or not.
This lap was the closest I had been and you left the door wide open with a big invitation on it. Now, I'm not saying it was a good move. What I'm saying is that there was no need for contact to have been made.
You make some valid points Russ, but in say Supercars, they would want you up to the B pillar to consider it a legit dive and since you hit his rear bumper I'd say you be on for a drive through.

Freezer was coming closer to DC and me before the 'Go' from DC. I was going 126 and Freezer 132 at this point in time. There was a tiny delay in reaction time on my side, but Freezer didn't seem to have that. The result is just logical, he was passing me way before turn 1. Seems like I've made the mistake going exactly as fast as DC.
Hey Killa, 6km/h difference! I note that coming onto the main straight the pack was gapped behind ( I think I may have even said something on the air ). I also was moving up to get close along side and around that time I heard the gogogo and hit it. Not disputing the 6km/h but was not intentionally trying to do anything sus. I still think we need to slow more in the final turns to get properly in a pack. My second gear will take me from 0 to 140km/h so there is a lot of variation there. p.s. good racing with you...

Managed to grab third in qualifying with a pb for me. Got the jump at the start and was able to power past Killa before the first turn and slot in behind DC. But that's pretty much the last I saw of him as he just started extending the gap from there. Spent the first half with Killa right on my tail. This track was all about hitting the braking point and getting the power back down again on exit which i was able to do pretty consistently.
Pitted at lap 15 but over shot the pit entry and grabbed a bit of sand. This slight delay no doubt allowed Killa to jump back in front. For much of the second stint I had Russ behind and was deploying my same consistency tactic until Killa had an off. Got a tap from Russ toward the end which I think was a missed brake marker but kept going and shortly after Joe suddenly appeared. He was pretty quick and eventually got me at the 2nd last turn. (yes, I did leave you room as I thought you were diving in pretty late).
From there it was just keep it together to come home 3rd.
LMP1's were good for me, they get held up a bit in the tight stuff but no issues.

Results are up in the 1st post.
Hey Wally, i think the results might be out. I finished 3rd on track behind Joe yet am showing as 6th in the round points?
Sorry, fixed. It was just the round points in that post (they were still from the week before).
Thanks..

Just say that the Simdashboard mentioned at the start of this post requires no connection. It talks to the PC via wifi.
I just start the app, place my Galaxy phone in front of me and it works . . . very well.

Yes, the rule is very simple. The problem we have is that you can go 30k's in second gear and you can do 160.
Forcing the field into formation earlier and at a lower speed would probably help...and I don't think it would be complicated at all.
The problem we have is that everyone accelerates at different points in time. The leader gets onto start finish straight, maybe at a lower speed for the field to catch up, one guy in row 3 hits the gas pedal earlier and comes with so much momentum that he gets into turn one first...and , of course, he most likely doesn't even do it deliberately.
The faster you go, the later you get into formation and the less practise...the more complaints and discussions here.
I reckon last week I was just speeding up to get into position as the Go Go Go was called and I powered on and flew past 3 cars...... Not intentional, just the way it worked out. I actually lifted a bit at first as others weren't going as quick.....

I think nominating a top speed rather than 2nd gear would be more specific as to what needs to happen!
And keeping that speed down say 80Km/h should reduce the lag front front to rear of the field.

Not sure about the start but I heard "Go go go" hit the loud pedal and shot from 4th to 1st of the GT3's. Did the others miss the jump? Not sure....
The race progressed pretty well with DC behind until the pit stop. Despite a clean stop I came out behind DC, and by a reasonable margin.
Had a good battle with Phil who eventually got by and not long after copped my mandatory hit and spin which whilst not costing a spot, put the two or three
cars right on my tail. I think the hit cost me some speed as I couldn't match the speed of the first half of the race and eventually lost a few more spots to come
home 15th.
Weirdly I went up one spot in the standings, which after another lost opportunity seems strange!

I couldn't believe it when Freezer and myself came together for the second week in a row dropping us both down the order !!!
The racing was incredibly close between Freezer, Joe, Killa and myself and considering how fast Freezer was around 90% of the track, my only opportunity was to pass in one section of the track where I had pace, he finally made a mistake and opened the door, I went up the inside and looked clean to me but please tell me if that wasn't the case from your perspective Freezer ?
By the way Freezer you have the coolest Skin on the grid IMO I've been looking at pretty closely for the last 2 races !! 
Tough one. At first I thought WTF......!! Then I watched the replay a few times and I did run a bit high on entry and then straightened out the exit, but in that moment you were there . . . so hard to say! As for the skin . . my homage to Skaife . . . those where the days!

So I managed to grab pole for the GT3's in the dying lap of qualifying and got away in the race with Phil and Killa behind.
We stayed this way until around lap 12 Phil peeled off then on 14 I did also. Unfortunately I overshot my pit bay by around two feet and had to reverse.
This meant when I came out I was immediately in front of Phil but with cold tyres I couldn't put up much of a fight and he went by. From there I climbed up to Killa who Phil had managed to pass however I could not.
I was probably marginally faster but not enough to make a move stick. A handful of laps later I had DC on my tail. Sadly for the second week in a row we had contact. I ran a bit high on entry into the final corner before the back straight and DC made a dive up the inside but hit my rear right spinning us both. From there I followed him home not really able to improve any further.
That make 3 out of 4 races this season being stuffed by contacts (:

Did a reasonable qualifying lap to start 5th of the GT's. Got a great start and was able to use the big power of godzilla to drive past Phil and DC on the first lap.
From there they continued to slipstream pass each other and I maintained a modest gap in front. Meanwhile Killagorilla was inching away in front.
Lap 5 trouble strikes . . . ! DC having got past Phil gets closer then braking into the 1st chicane nails the rear of my car and I'm around. Managed to get going losing a few spots but looped it again on the next chicane.
Seems the rear wing was damaged and making the handling a bit off. Pitted on Lap 6 for a longer second stint. I pushed hard for many many laps trying to catch Jeremy but the car was a second or two slower and couldn't really bridge the gap. It wasn't until the last lap when he got slowed by a LMP1 that I was able to pounce.
All up a good race, but definitely an opportunity lost. LMP passing all went well.
