Drive carefully, do not hurry

Surprisingly quiet after the race in the forum

Great season. Thanks for organizing.

Apologies to @Battenberg for that big crash on start/finish! There was a tiny inattention from my side and pCARS physics done the rest.

Nevertheless, thrilling season with a lot of great moments. Big thank you to the organizers!

Thanks Fab. Immediately after I thought I was squeezing you too much, but looking at your replay it was just the two cars drifting into each other - a 50/50 racing incident for me. The crash was a lot more violent than I anticipated from such a minor incident, I think the pCars gods were bored and wanted to watch something spectacular . The timestamp for my video below is at 1:59:00 if you want to see what a barrel roll looks like in VR


Anyway, I had a mixed evening (rather like the whole season). I struggled with FPS for the whole night, which made judging apexes and the walls that much trickier. A spin at the fountain at the start of race 1 led to a fun recovery drive to eventually take pole for race 2. A tense cat and mouse battle with @fab. ICEMAN in race 2 ended prematurely when a rift glitch blip made me miss my braking point for turn 2. A dangerous spin turn from me thankfully was avoided by a battling @ovivoJR and @Josh, sorry I couldn't call it out on TS, I couldn't find my PTT button in time.

Race 3 started well, but after I made repairs to fix the damage from the barrel roll, I decided to try and see if my new stream telemetry overlay (feedback please!) was causing the fps stuttering in the rift. It turns out it wasn't, so when I parked off at T6 and tabbed out, I didn't realise the game stopped receiving my brake inputs and was creeping back towards the track. The car was a few seconds from reaching the racing line, so I panicked and killed the game. Sorry to Fab and @Shepard who I think were approaching that corner at that time.

So yeah, more downs than ups (again, sums up the season). The Aston was a brute all season, but it felt at it's best around here, thanks to a great setup from my team mate @1185323118. Jerry has supported me more than I have supported him in these races, so a big thanks to him for being a great team mate!

Overall this was a great event. My first Championship with RSR. I enjoyed every battle. I am happy with my progression over the time. The Ginetta was a great car to drive and it was interesting to see the different strenghts play out.

Last night started well for me. I had a nice battle with @ProjectPD in the first race. The second race was quite chaotic. A bad start and a contact in the last corner after being pushed by @Josh left me with Aero dmg. In the end I managed to fight off the KTM but it was close. The third race was over before it really began. I had a strong start but overlooked that @Nakor was all the way on the inside. Apologies for the contact.

I hope we will see more events like this in the future.

I've always been decent around Long Beach but didn't expect the pace I had last night. If it wasn't for silly mistakes I was able to hold on to the tail of the top four. In race 3 I truly believed I could have had my first victory in a long time if I had kept it clean, but alas it was not to be as I forgot @anaxi had a much earlier braking point into the roundabout with his Toyota and I punted him in the rear and had to wait. Overall it was a fun night and having some speed meant overtakes were fun and satisfying.

This series was a lot of fun and a big thanks to the PRD guys for joining us once again, it's always a pleasure. Also a big thank you and congratulations to my teammate @Taorminator. We both worked together really well, setting goals for ourselves and helping each other to achieve them with tips and setup advice. If only I was able to race the two races I missed it would have been a perfect season.

Here's my highlights from Long Beach:
