it's a tight confined circuit these types of accidents are bound to happen, adrian you are not [Censored] at these cars like you think you are, yes some patients is needed but that is something that needs to be learned, im sure there are a few members who have been around for a while that would remember when i first started racing and how impatient i was?

[Rollin InAn STi]

I, for one, consider myself a patient driver. tonight's race i waited the majority of the time to pass the GT cars til the back straight or on the front straight.

And im sure Duncan can remember my debut race in the '09 GTC at Mugello when i was 'latched' onto his rear bumper for laps on end until me made a slip up coming out of turn 1 which let me by. i lightly tapped Y22 DJH near the beginning of that race in the double right-hander, but quickly backed off to give him time to recover.

Two wins from two! WOO HOO!

Can I just say first of all; many commiserations to GLRmiken who's wheel broke (if I remember) just before the main event. I do hope you can resolve the problem soon and wish you a speedy return to the race track.

Heaven knows how I held the Lola Aston after first lap contact with Duncan, but it was a save which I probably wouldn't be able to do again if lightening was to strike twice. Depending if I can create some decent clips cause I had difficulty last night, I'll try and upload that to youtube because it literally was one of those moments which you just think "OH SSSSHHH**************T" because you don't know whether you was gonna recover the situation or not. My heart was certainly in my mouth at that moment.

The only other incident during the meeting was a miscommunication with Adrian because he ran wide at the second hairpin as if to indicate that he was allowing me to lap him, and by the time we reached the next corner (to my surprise), we made contact which spun him out. But Adrian, it's something I'm not gonna dwell over! It was just a racing incident and I would also like to apologise for that because I think we was both to blame.
Also, don't quit mate. As a few of us suggested, try the GT category because it's roll reversal then. It won't be you trying to lap traffic, it'll the rest of the LMP field trying to avoid you instead.

On that note, I do have to say that the traffic was absolutely stupendous last night so thanks very much to all the drivers from LMPC and GT who managed to continue with their own races but also allowed us in LMP1 to clear you with ease. Cheers guys.

I would also like to congratulate Simon and Louis on their podium finishes as well as Mark and EZT Trooper for their class wins.

Great racing last night, gutted I span out in Dans aero wash in the run up to the final harpin, from there tried to fight me way back up the field, had some decent pace then I caught up to Adrian passing Ian, which had the affect of damaing my aero very badly, from there tried to drive around the isssue, but a lag spike from adrian caused me to have more damage, Adrian was not your fault or nor was it my fault, it was a lag spike your car moved up and down the track I checked my replay and was no way near you you had 20 feet infront of me and then the lag bomb and I had damage to my rear and front aero, so lets say a racing incident

Any way congrats to Dan, my team mate Simon

Well done to all the GT and LMPC drivers was so much fun

[F4H Koenigsegg]

Was a fun race yesterday. My car was bad, the Evora. Lots of understeer and that car doesn't want to brake at all. But was still fun to drive. Congratulations on your GT win Trooper and LMP1 win Dan and LMPC win Mark.

Some LMP drivers were more patient then the other. Some stayed behind me for almost the whole lap, others tried to pass immediately. But I never got any damage, which is a good thing. Especially on a small and narrow track like Tsukuba.

Anyone have a replay of the race saved? Once my wheel is fixed I will be back.

[AudiSport Louis]

I believe i was one of those who had to get by you immediatly I just want people to know im not going to put a pass on someone unless i know its possible to do it, i practice this by driving against nothing but CPU- GT cars, that's it!

[Rollin InAn STi]

there was a few moments i stuck my nose to the outside of the GT's between turn 3 and the 3rd hairpin, but fell back as i know i'd be throwing the GT's off their line by trying to attack through that section, and waited til the back straight

[ATR DAN]

[AudiSport Louis]

PERFECT DRIFT EVERY TIME!

[GLRmikem]

That was a great save. Can you gift me the replay or have it on your storefront? Thanks
