I'm not going to make it, done no practice and I'm not prepared to do what I did last week.
Have a good race

I haven't had any time to practice and I while I couldn't believe that I could be any worse than normal, I was.

I didn't qualify well, and unfortunately Wally caught me during a hot lap and I couldn't let him by because it was going to be my best lap. It wasn't, I screwed up the last corner and killed both of our laps.

Lap 1, I nearly cleaned up three people because I missed my brake marker and luckily made it through a gap and ran wide instead. That was a relief.
Sometime later I almost did the same thing to Rob or Dave O, but once again managed to get off the brakes at the right time, swerve and run wide rather than hit them.

About half way through the race, lack of sleep hit me and I started nodding off with my eyes open. A couple of times I lifted my foot off the accelerator by about ten percent. That was a tough 8 laps. I came to about 3 laps out from the finish and made it to the end.

I hope I didn't cause any issues at the start of race 2. I got called away and thought I'd be back in time for the start.

Sorry for the late notice. I'm trying to get shit together for a house purchase and forgot. I won't be there tonight.

I don't mix well with hairpins...or tight chicanes.

Race 1: I was having fun till I spun coming off a slow corner, then did it again for a few laps and had a stinker.

Race2: I was having fun till I spun coming off a slow corner, then did it again for a few laps....and on the way collected poor Rob after losing it, and had a stinker. I'm very  sorry Rob.  Then I quit after a few more spins. Hopefully I be able to get some more practice before the next round, and can keep it on the track.
I've added a couple of Nissan setups to my drive (see sig).
maybe one of them might suit. ;)
Thanks man, I'll check em out.

I've signed up but may not be able to race some rounds including round one. I hope to be there however.

First time back after a pretty long break. I didn't do more than 15 laps practice and rocked up pretty late but I really enjoyed driving these cars, which is a surprise for me because I've generally hated V8 mods (in everything).  I had a few spins due to hitting kerbs in the wrong way, and being a little too heavy with my right foot, and once on the left braking, but at no point did I feel like putting it in the sand trap in frustration, and doing donuts till the car broke.

The last race was hilarious. I got off the line like a rocket, headed into turn one in the lead and was so overjoyed that I forgot how to drive, found myself in the wrong gear, went wide into turn two and panic braked into three trying to recover, spun and ended up being where I belong. It was a bit annoying because even though I was a second off a decent pace I reckon it might have been a fun little sprint.

Thanks for a fun night blokes.

I'm afraid I am going to miss this round, sorry.

55
That's a paddlin'. I reckon the red car moved over and caused the incident. It may have been because the rears spun up on a bump, but still moved over and mad contact with the other car.

56
This track is really good to drive, but not good to hit fences apparently. It's certainly more interesting than a bunch of other tracks that don't have issues.

I didn't enjoy anything about last night, and think I've lost interest in racing.  I generally can't be arsed practising and feel like I'm wasting my time when I do.
I like these cars and the only thing I'd prefer is wings on a low tech open wheeler so it's not the cars.

57
Blame the car/ setup Doobs  ;D

Ha, actually I probably should. I'd been practising in the Honda but forgot to change to it in car dealer so had to drive the Cooper, which felt like fighting my lane assist in the Subaru.
Still, it was a lack of talent that was the issue.

58
I seem to be incapable of driving, and smashed into the same building about five times. Sorry to anyone that couldn't avoid my incompetence.
I reckon I did about three hours practice and only completed about 5 timed laps. Woeful.

Regardless, I now know if I get bumped off the track on lap one and a penalty isn't applied that I need to follow Seanus lead and just write abusive posts until the decision is reversed....lesson learned.

I can pretty much guarantee if you do that you'll find the same level of assessment made and may end up with a penalty anyway if it goes to community court. I do not like abuse on the forums, particularly towards Wally, or anyone giving their time and efforts to allow us to race, and it did not please me to see it.  Seanus's reaction on the forum pissed me off to be honest and if I was a dick I would have apportioned blame to him just for being abusive.

However,
I saw the incident in-car as it happened, and thought the inside car made a mistake because it drifted over, made contact and knocked the outside car (which was holding a straight line) off the circuit. I didn't bother to find out who was inside or outside, and couldn't remember who was in the inside car, which is why I said the inside car screwed up rather than apportion blame to a driver.
Upon watching the replay provided by Wally it seemed the same, and as far as braking is concerned, my brake marker was exactly where the outside cars was, just before the tower on the right.
Far from being a Kangaroo court I think you'll find everyone objectively looked at it and made pretty much the same assessment.
Things can look different from inside your cockpit, and in mirrors but the way I saw it was, as described.

I was following that one in the race I think.
From my car when it happened and from the replay, my thought was, and is that the car on the inside screwed up.

But

I'm not Wally, and it's his call.  He makes 'em and I respect them even if I think he's not quite right :) (It is very rare that I think he's not quite right)
It could be worse and we could be subject to iRacing justice. Now that would really suck.
