So don't forget: make a stop and go before driving out the pit lane like this:

Else you will get 5 seconds penality.
Masakari haven't respect the pit rules...no penality...?? :scratch:

So he didn't needed, he was on pole, not starting from pit lane (if I understand it well). And you did not need it too, if you did .... :shrug: .

I just watched the replays and I saw only normal pit stops, not a single stop and go. So the results must be OK.

To a certain extent this race was a battle of strategies as well. I chose to do an early pit stop and nothing else. It was OK but in the final laps my tires were completely useless and I had difficulties with lapping the red AI. It slowed me down and Cristiano took the podium from me (again). But it's OK, he's an incredible driver. And not to mention the guys battling for the victory - they're in a different league. Mega respect!

They absolutely are. Can't wait to see their last fight :hiya:
On the other hand the guy I have fought against for the 5th place is the third best of the GTCC S4. I've never though that one day I would be in a real race with him for a good position. :bowdown:

Uhm... and BTW I really meant the "stop and go" rule for the pitstarters. I'm sorry if I wasn't that clear :?

Well, Akouk, we all have been practicing for long long weeks while you have just joined and finish always top5. I guess that's what Ivo meant. No wonder Madd Dogg (and me too...) compared his performance to yours! :hattip:

Thank you Akouk, you're a true gentleman!
I have started practicing for the last HL/TT race but it is very difficult! Madd Dodd created the most difficult round for us (and for himself :D )! Crashes are very frequent at this phase, I hope it will get better. But this week is going to be really busy and I don't know how much time I'll have for further practice runs...

That's true. It is much more difficult as it seemed in the track editor :D

BTW I counted the championship points incorrectly on a few cases. Jo.sk warned me, I counted the points again and now it must be correct. Please let me know if something is still wrong.
Sorry about that :?

Okay, TT done. I had a crash, lost 10 seconds. And the HL is also slow. It was a very difficult qualification week for me...
Good luck guys!

Of course not! That Worst Driver rewarded guy was the racer who was just behind me in the middle of the season. And I couldn't lose him :P

Madd Dogg, now I'm curious who you are thinking of!
BTW it's the last race, the last event we have this week, and it is a tough battle for many positions. Alexwolf dominated the first part of the season (as we expected) and built up a massive advantage in points. Masakari, on the other hand, became more and more confident and seems unstoppable now. So anything can happen!
I am 4th now but it would be a miracle if I could defend my position in the overall standings because I had the worst HL and TT of the season in the last round. Fogo, on the other hand, was very fast. Plus the truth is that he had some technical problems previously which allowed me to catch up with him - on the racetrack he was faster than me most of the time. So it will be a difficult race for me!

:!: Major bug :!:

I noticed just today, that there's a track bug, that I think it should had been fixen before login.
You'll notice that the AI line over the bridge is teribly made. Thus quite often, when braking, the AI loose the AI line and drive for a few meters backwards, untill the make a 360 turn to catch the AI line again.

Sorry, but I had to retire my race as it was not fun having to deal with that (besides crashing on AI too) ... :shrug:
