Woohooo ! Got lucky tonight...started out front...held off Church for a few laps...then just tried to keep up w/Church...and stay ahead of Fitzy...settled down untill Church tagged something near the end of lap 7...I got past him as he was going in the pits....tried to gain some time before I pitted on lap 10...was able to stay in front to the finish !! Only the 2nd win I've had in a clan series. Winning does feel good !!
On one hand...Damn I messed up the times and missed it...on the other as those in the EUSL practice know, thank goodness I did it woud have been a disaster...
I believe Church calls it, putting has fingers in his ears and saying na na na na na na na...at least he didn't set his car on fire, his latest "Church maneuver"
Also driver of the night goes to Grim Streaker for finishing the race after he pretty much totaled his car and finished 4 laps behind. But still finished

Dont forget the next race is now in 2 x weeks
26/Aug/2012: Nurburgring Grand Prix Circuit – Race A + Race B
Second race was awesome. Stabby did an amazing job staying off my car!
In the first race Church what was the outcome of my post-race incident investigation? I think Parcells should be awarded a couple of positions. I shouldn't be held responsible for sloppy coding on Turn10's part.
I have uploaded the replay from race 2 on to my SF
Almost everyone was having an extremely close race with someone and it is actually really entertaining to watch.
I also reviewed the incident in regards to parcells. The stewards are telling me that due to a bad smell coming from the car the pit crew was unable to get close enough for a while to change the tyres?
Thanks Church. I don't like the ruling but I understand that could easily happen and will live with the decision.
Gizzie:...the three guys ahead of you..have we given them enough of a cushion lead to start trying in these races now? Let me know when to start taking it serious then we'll show them what our Lotuses can really do!
I will miss this weekend race as I am away on holidays, in my abscence could someone make sure to take Church out of it. Thank You
Lmao !!! If I can get close enough to him....I might give it a try
Well I failed Fitzy !!! Only times I got close enough was when we were pitting. Had trouble getting the timing right tossing the bag of tacks into his pits while speeding by @ 150mph.
I seemed to have some trouble getting started in both races. Always ended up at the back, having to battle my way forward.
Church @ Gizzie were the class of the field in both races. Pitting in race 1 w/o losing the lead. Not sure what happened to Gizzie in race 2 but I ended up between him and Church after pit stops and while I couldn't catch Church, was able to stay ahead of Gizzie till the end. Having fun with these. Looking forward to next race.
So in the second race when I spun out down the main straight (when Church just lapped me then pitted) my mic started squealing and the wheel just turned right HARD on me and wouldn't stop, zero response and fighting me hard had to restart the bastard. Restarted and everything seemed fine for a couple of laps then the gearing was fucked but my car wasn't damaged...wonder if my cordless phone sitting right next to me (which I don't normally do with XBox) fucked up the signal or perhaps more likely, Fanatec wheels will forever struggle with the game they're "officially" marketed for (always works fanatastic in GT5 and don't hear the PC guys with many fanatec issues where apparently they work outstanding).
@Parcells was going down the pit lane and just saw your car trying to climb over the pit wall lol. Also ironic how only a few laps before we was talking about how good the wheels are.
Next race Details:

Congrats Surf great win, I couldn't catch you. At least I lapped Church:)
I do apologise Church, so what do you call it when you are in a race and you pass a car and it puts that car one lap behind?
I believe Church calls it, putting has fingers in his ears and saying na na na na na na na...at least he didn't set his car on fire, his latest "Church maneuver"
The crash that ended it all
http://youtu.be/C_3sZLEtlpE
Although I was really brave / stupid as I didn't let off till I was facing the wall
The Radicals are great, they really grip but when they go you have to be very fast to catch them.
Dont forget this is tonight lads.gif "1")
2nd race was absolutely immense Gizzie!!!
Been that close behind each other for that many laps and we didn't touch each other.gif "1")
Replay's are on my SF for both races.
Congrats to Surf on winning race 1
Results are updated.
Surf is extending his lead.

Lmao Parcells....I believe Gizzie did win race 2....it appears he's doing his part....his teammate appears to be off the pace..gif "21")
Sorry to hear you failed the Drugs test xsitement. We do have quite a high weed level though before a failure is given. Maybe a bit too much eh?
Snappy can race for you if he likes?
Dont forget there is no race this weekend!!
Nurb GP next weekend though.
