Had a fun 2 weeks at Nords. This race almost never happened due to the track being a bit league race unfriendly with only 12 pit stops, no start lights, no start sounds etc. Happy we as a team sorted that out with our Nords SR4L update fix 
.
Started the night with a check list:-
Peddles working, check!
Firewall set to game mode, check!
PC power cord plugged in very very very tight, check! :o
Graphics card not showing Mario Kart rainbow road graphics, check!
Ready to roll
Qually did 2 runs. Managed to get a lap time 5 seconds faster then my personal best jumping passed Gorka at the last few minutes of the session. Phew clean side of the grid.
Everything going to plan 
.
Lights turned to green (happy they worked by the way), jumped MarcelW for 2nd place as per my evil plan. As Marcel said he then got overtook by RolandH. Roland was fast, on my tail the whole lap before he overtook me on the straight. Think he was even gaining on Rik who was flying. Did not take long for Marcel to be on my tail. I was lucky that he was keep making mistakes before getting to the long straight as I know once he gets a tow I'm done for.
, yup very close. Was not sure if you were about to pit with me . I think you should have as my pit lane was completely empty of other peoples cars. Straight in, straight out, no Cosimo doing something from Belly Hill . I saw your replay of your stop lol. RolandH, looked like he got disconnected within that mess, not sure what happened to him.
Once the pits were all sorted out, found myself in 2nd place, Gorka 12 seconds behind still 5 laps to go. Gorka was cutting the gap very quick, looked like he wanted my 2nd place for sure. Suddenly the gap started increasing again, he had hit the wall, damage. I could then just drive it home without to much pressure. Maybe did the slowest final lap ever just to bring her home
No stopping Rik, he get 101 points. Marcel needs to start worrying if he want to keep his 1st place in the championship.
I have no idea where I am, lost count of the points 2 races ago

Lecram Wrote:Qualify went reasonable. Rikard was too quick for me, as expected and I was happy with my laptime and 2nd position but not so happy with the dirty side I would be starting from. Dj should have been just what, 5 tenths quicker and I wouldn't be complaining about dirty sides... :Could not have been more perfect.

Lecram Wrote:Those 3 laps behind Dj flew by, I wasn't even watching my hud to see how many laps we had done. Until at the end of lap 5, I was about 4 tenths behind Dj coming on to the main straight. Dj did what he was supposed to do, keeping right for pit entry. I was trying to line up for a pass but I saw Dj slowing down just in time to let go off throttle and steer to the left to avoid him. :o That was very close ;DLol, bloody hell m8
