I had to restart the server to put Grubbet on the grid in place of Butters.

Sorry to all in race one, I didnt realize my ping was 180ish which makes it very hard to race against. Race two from the back of grid, more fun.

Well they used to say back to the drawing boards, but for me after a few bangs and crashes tonight, its back to the DTM.

I also noticed I beat Marty in race one. Then almost again in race two... nothing suspicious  :D

I'm sorry as well because I shouldn't have dived into a corner like that regardless of your ping, we were side by side in the previous corner and I thought I'd duck into the inside and started to slide out but thinking about it, it was a low probability of me making it clean.

Well, the DTM is a nicer car to drive, especially due to the proper gearing in place :)
But I rather like to race the groupA.  There's something not right overtaking Darren in a faster car.  I want to do it in the same car.  Just once...:)

First race was made funny, I thought it'll be lonely as I had a bit of pace on everyone around, but Freezer came out of the pits well in front, so we battled. I was stuck behind, without bump draft it's a bitch to overtake.  I've managed to mess up a T1 where he seemed to stick to the outside but then suddenly changed for the inside - I've tried to cross over to the outside to avoid but I've clipped the left rear.   Then after we've stopped I thought we can go past each other, but we couldn't.  Somehow the perspective or the car size isn't quite correct here I reckon.  The car is longer than it seems from the inside.  So we've lost a few positions.

But after this, I had a good couple of battles on my hand which made the 1st race fun, so no regrets :)


The second.  Well, Freezer started from the grid this time, so it was a lonely ride - a half a second to one second per lap advantage is enough to make the race a boring hot-lapping session.


If I get the DTM again, I'd like to opt to swap back to the group A in exchange for a couple of points, please ;)

Good racing and good fun, gents!

Marty theory, make it home from flight, buggered but must push on... just race to get crap results and get DTM for next week.
