Been a difficult 2 weeks for the WIX/Jdrt Racing Audi.

Sherman is really down on top end speed and Atlanta was always about damage limitation. Hopefully she can get some decent results at Hock as there is a few more twisty bits.

Still been way to competitive it really kills me seeing everyone pull away or just drive past me on the straight tonight.

@Seeker sorry for the bump I don't know if you braked too hard because the car in front was all over the track or if I braked late. I will be looking at the replay and putting it to the other stewards.

Cheers

Thanks. Yes PreBuilt was off the track coming back on just before the curve so I was being cautious to avoid hitting him.

I had enough lead between myself and 3rd-6th that even with that off I would have been OK.

I'm actually pretty easy going mostly. Shit happens. But if you punt someone off track it would seem like common courtesy to say "sorry" at least.

Hey  all, thanks for the races... was overall really good, and mostly incident free in lobby B. My apologies to GeneralE on the 2nd race for bumping you off. I rectified it though, so I hope no harm done. Also my apologies to whoever I came together with at the beginning of race 3. It was a total lapse of focus on my part because I was confused about the grid ordering, and I had an agressive line not taking into account the my trajectory to the exit..... total newbie to racing mistake. I compleltely forgot to save my replays, so if anyone can send me theirs it would be much appreciated.

Great racing across all positions in room B this afternoon.  Congrats to our winners Cherry BamBam (Races 4 & 6) and steviegers (Race 5).

@Gunny - steady racing - couldn't stay close to you at all today laugh

@GRD - you need to show me how to pass the way you do; that pass you did on Gunny and I at the same time was amazing

@TeammateLTD -  showed that patient driving really will gain you places in this series; think you went from starting 14th to finishing 7th by letting others make mistakes

@SimF40 - thanks for racing and then pulling over before the finish so you wouldn't mess up the points for the rest of us

Replays for all three  Room B races uploaded to my storefront.

Is it too late to sign up for a polestar S60 seat in the B Lobby, next week?
If not, can someone send me the tune, so i can practice some before?

It's never too late to join any event fella. You can race tonight if you want just make sure you have some room B people on your friends list. I will tune you a car but won't get chance until later tonight.

derekthetree has a S60 tune and he also races in Room B.  I'll ask derek if he'll help a racer out.

Jormvngandr, send a FR to derekthetree and ask him for a tune.

Ok, can you add me to the sheet?. I wont race tonight, even if im online, since i still need to get used to the manual/w clutch gearbox. 

Can you give the tune, a teenyweeny bit more on grip and cornering than speed?  thanks in advance. smiley

If you feel you’ve been unfairly punted because of poor driving submit a complaint to the stewards (me , Max and Church).

I reviewed the third race yesterday (all on my storefront) cause heading into the hairpin on lap one someone kept hitting the side of my car (I’m driving in a straight line mind you – I suppose curved because the track curves) eventually spinning me a little sideways which caused me to send you off the track. During the race and during my first review I thought what the fuck is SIM doing running into me here? Upon further review it’s extremely hard to tell who (if anyone) was at fault…if you watch us from the car directly behind us it looks pretty clear that SIM is running into Parcells but when you view from each of our cars it is near impossible to assign blame. Have a look and if you feel differently we can PM.

seriously...........it wasn't a go at any one IN PARTICULAR....it just seems that its a little too aggresive some times, but thats racing I suppose .I will back out of this series as I don't want to play catch up in each race.CheersSim
