RACE NOTES:

- Really sorry for those of you who got kicked by my shitty Internet, I'll be back to my college apartment next week so hopefully the lag and timeout problems will be resolved. We can get on Friday night to practice and sort out a new host if we're still having issues.

- I know Sunset Peninsula is a tight track but there was way too much contact in the first few laps of the race. This week we'll be in bigger, faster cars so please try to drive more carefully.

Epic finish is epic.

He would've won too if he hadn't rolled, that was the final lap and I don't think I was close enough to pass him and keep ahead since he had more power than me. You missed a great race, dude.

Definitely a fun race! It was nice being able to actually battle for position a bit this time, and hopefully next week (or whenever I'm on next) I'll be even closer to the target time.

Could've been even closer if topsirloin hadn't rolled his Alfa midway through the last lap (that's him in the second-to-last pic); with him and TheVancen right behind the top four cars would have finished within a second of each other.

I know, but I was visiting family. That said I'm not far behind.

As long as you tune to the target time you should be fine man, that and avoiding curbs lol. I think everyone except for me and p33t Orlove'd at least once this race.

Oh, your family's more important than us? Pff, I see how it is. You'll never win the championship with that attitude, Kampf, you don't got what it takes.

Yeah, I had it down where I wouldn't need to let off at all through that section, but then there was absolutely no room for error. :P

Two races in a row of close finishes like this. The A550 race was this close as well at the line.

Only one life for a racer without the dedication:

Yeah, I'm actually really happy about how the BoP adjustments have worked. These kinds of finishes were exactly what I was hoping for when we started this, it's awesome that they're actually happening pretty consistently.

It was such an exciting race for my first go in this series. For the longest time I was happy to be in forth all be it with wrath getting closer and closer in his escorted.

Thethe last lap happened and it got so intense!!

10out of 10, would wake up at 8 in the morning on my day off to race again.

(Also, I think you find I'm on the leader board now with Desu San desu) :p

That sound haunts my dreams

It's the sound of 2.4L of fury funneled through a racing exhaust.

Trust me, that sound is a lot better than what I had to deal with on my morning commute: a naturally-aspirated 3800 Series II dumping straight out the downpipe. No cat, no resonator, no muffler, nothing.

I had no idea you were that close to me until I saw the nose of your car poke its way into the right side of my screen on the final turn lol. Definitely a great race, glad you liked it so much. I had you on my spreadsheet but forgot to transfer your score over to this post, should be fixed now.

2nd to last picture made me re-live what it felt like to lose a commanding lead orloving on the final fucking lap. :(

I found it fucking hilarious tragic and unfortunate and I definitely laughed my ass off felt extremely sorry for you, that's Taka Inoue-level driving just extremely bad luck on your part and I hope it never happens again.

Joking aside, I did the almost exact same thing during a practice session so I took those corners so carefully. Almost lost because of it but still.
