Hey guys... thanks for this awesome race.

Congratulations to Crash!! Great win!!

Impressive performances from Crash, Harding and Dave!!!

I was kinda confused on the starting procedures but, at the end everything went fine!!

For some time I thought Karl's strategy would work and I was regreting I planned on a 2-stop race. Late in the race I realized it would be a close finish.... and really was. ;D




Dave and Karl, thanks for the event.

Our strategy would've worked if it werent for the damage.

Brake checking you That's your bad. If you have enough pace to catch up to them they are going to have earlier braking points to you. I personally try to never brake directly behind someone, weather for position or not. Saying that I mucked up early in the race and had a run-in with the back of Crash's car as I barely braked going through the last chicane, and he had a total different way of braking and swinging into the corner. But it was my mistake, my responsibility as the overtaking driver.

I love how you can drive these cars in so many different manors. With how I set my car up, it was really loose on green tires and tightened up as the tires got more and more worn, But I didn't factor into my setup the possibility of picking up any damage. Driving these cars with front spoiler damage isn't very nice, the car tightens up. And when it does that and you aren't aware of it you get more damage by running offtrack. Front spoiler+ suspension damage= super tight car that will only get tighter as the race goes on and the tires got more worn. I had a really really tight car at the end of the race .
