Joe wins the round again, but Mael managed to take race 3 after an early battle with Joe. Freezer showed good pace here, with pole and 2 out of 3 fastest laps.

It was a timely reminder to actually set the laps ;)

My internet has shat itself, so I may or may not be able to host a server or race tonight. I'll keep you posted, but maybe you guys can just have a fun/practice race on the practice server at Chang.

NBN's back, so no disruption to normal service.

Server's up.

Results are up. Congratulations to Joe on the round win.

Good nights racing for me with a surprising pole to start.
That however went from hero to zero with a spin at the first corner. Luckily got going quickly and had fun chasing
through the pack to get back to 4th. As for the contact with DaveReid, I was actually half way down the inside of him and
strangely his car did a funny kink right ( like a lag ), then spun, but it didn't visually contact my car. I wasn't sure if it was him
spinning or contact with me!
Race two was a long chase of Joe but couldn't make much impression.
Race three was excellent with a number of position changes with Joe as Mael slowly pulled away in front.
Add to that two fastest laps and it was a pretty successful night.
-
Good start in race one, but I think I got hit (can't remember, something went wrong anyway) in the first turn, went off and lost a lot of positions because of that.
Well, big apology to Wally for the nudge...I screwed it :-[
Yeah, probably was a bit overly keen after the messy start and made a number of little mistakes in races 1 and 2.
Race 3 was good. It's a fun track...works well with these cars.
Cheers

For anyone interested in a quick edit I put together of the action I saw from last place :P

Freezer - super interesting to see that this is how close you saw yourself from top down. Check the video and you can see 1:39 wheel straight, 1:40 turn in and helicorsa has your nose aligned to my tail and then 1:41 the gap was gone, and within the next second we came together and helicorsa still has you no more than 1/2 way up the car.

These cars work on this track, well done Wally!
Race one I made a good start and ran clean.
Race two I made a good start but got some really weird lag/connection issues whilst battling with Phil mid race, plus I saw the dreaded 99% occupancy error message so I'm not sure what is happening there as I've not seen that for well over a year, with only 12 or so cars on track I would not have thought that would be too stressful for my pc!
Race three I made a good start and was battling to close on killa until I ran wide on the exit of the last corner and thought I'd power through and cop the cutting-track warning until the car made a huge hard right turn causing me to spin and wipe out my front wing, from there the last two laps were rather tough driving with the wheel left hand down at about 45 degrees to drive straight...All in all a very surprising night and I'm so glad I abandoned the high downforce thinking as I found over 2 seconds improvement by dropping the wings
-
Race 1 I got out ahead after Freezer's mishap and had a good gap so was able to keep a comfortable race pace.
Race 2 had Freezer pretty close behind me so had to push it a bit harder.
Race 3 Mael got a draft and a clean pass (for once) and wasn't much I could do. After that Freezer was close behind and had an awesome battle for the rest of the race. I had the pace on Mael but the battle allowed him to pull ahead but was the best racing I've had all season. I saved the replay as I wanted to go back and look at some of the passes.

Cool video Dave. It's fun to see the race in VR. I tried Crew Chief once upon a time, but I found him more distracting than informative.
On my replay, Freezer wasn't very far up inside, not matching Freezer's view of the incident, but I did see a bit of a sudden kink of Dave's car to the right. It certainly looks like some lag was involved. Because there's some doubt about it, I'll cancel Freezer's penalty, erring on the side of more clear cut blame.
-
Race 1, after a good start, I got bumped and spun by Killa. My heart sank when I ended up nose to the barrier, meaning I'd have to reverse and be clear of traffic first, knowing it was going to eat a lot of time.
Then in race 2, as everyone heard, I decided to start in N instead of 1, and that didn't go too well.
Race 3 was more action packed and entertaining.
But I always had someone to chase and race against, which is far better than lonely hotlapping.

This was my take.

Appreciate the outcome wally. On a side note I have seen Dave's car move around a fair bit this season, he
is often hard to be close to as he surges etc.

Looks like Mael's fault to me
-
definitely MAels fault :P
its super interesting to see everyone's replays etc. It does go to show that what you see / experience isn't replicated across everyone.
As for my lag - hopefully that will be fixed with NBN coming next month (assuming it doesn't get pushed again) so hopefully that will fix it.
I see on your video how i did jump right, i just looked at my video and i was just turning in so I'm not sure if my lag "jumped" me in there. Happy for it to be racing incident - no stress for me :) but its informative to see everyone's view that's for sure.

Race 1 -> Tested 2nd gear start. Did not work. Luckily due to everyone's good driving my slow start did not cause a massive accident. ;D Almost messed up the race at the end as well while trying to let Freezer past, wanted him attack Jarmel who was too quick for me to pass in a straight fight. Hoped as he battled Jarmel I could slip pass
Race 2 -> An early spin at the last corner cost me dearly but managed to recover to 3rd, made easier by frightening AB off the track. However, I paid the price for not having the latest version of the PLP app installed with a cut after the finish line earning a 3 place demotion :(
Race 3 -> Got lucky and managed to draft past Joe. Freezer then did the hard work of keeping Joe honest allowing a rare win!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I can fix that up. I trust you've downloaded the latest PLP version now???

And don't use Helicorsa, it sucks balls. Use Car Radar instead.

OK, I've fixed that up, to put Mael in 3rd for race 2.

I was feeling the pressure from behind from both you and AB (i think) for a while , both of you caught up a fair bit through the twisty bits but i seemed to break away on the two corners right before the straights and gained that buffer again.
Had to bail quick just after the start of race 2 . Which was annoying as Race 1 was my most consistent race all year and I think my first podium finish at XGN on a tuesday :). But couldn't be helped had to leave asap.
Gratz on the wins fellas
