Now it's crunch time. With the points race tightening after the field mixed it up at Hock, the pressure has increased for a few of us to perform well. The DTM, GTS, and GT500 cars are a little down on power, but don't count them out, as they can run minimal downforce and still compete on the straights; the GT1 cars have acceleration dominance, but are outbraked by their more nimble brethren. Who will emerge the first Dutch Supercars Super GT and second Nein Shiza Autosport Champion? It'll take more than luck.
Single race, reverse points grid ordering
Laps: 16

Looking forward to this one. Hopefully my xBox will behave and the game won't mute every time someone's mic keys up...

The audi in the bucket gets rid of its only advantage. No handling and no straightline speed the car is junk. Lol

LSA and I ran most of the cars against my Ferrari F40 Patriot Missile and they all have low 50s to upper 51s in em. The Audis can make up a ton of distance on the back half while cars like mine are just hanging on til the straights come back.

I didn't do the revisions this time based on last race's performance; this time I did them in anticipation of someone running away with the race. I tried to balance the cars based on how much faster/slower a driver is than me and what lap time a car will run here. Here's a breakdown of the fastest lap times that I got out of the cars (it says nothing of my opinion of you as a person or a driver, just how I expect to most evenly balance the field):
I haven't run times for the cars of: Manuel, So4th, Pablo, Hunter, Rodney, Roca, Hired, and Leadfoot. I haven't left you guys out; I'm just not there yet. I honestly am not trying to give myself an advantage--I guess you can't really do anything except trust me on that one. If you feel that I've shafted you, run some laps and tell me your times--I'll probably hop in with you and run some--and we'll get the cars balanced. I don't know, if there is a next season, that I will do performance balancing in the same manner as this season.

I Know how difficult it is, You can keep my car as it is. That cars needed some rear tire widht to control the oversteer this car has, but on the previous tracks. Now, for Lemans i dont think this helps much, so I can keep my car as it is and have been.
I just Love Racing!

I may need to get your tune and play some follow the leader with you. I'm about 8-10 seconds off of that.

In other news, I watched the Hockenheim replay and the only major avoidable contact was made by me. I'll be starting at the back of the grid. As per the usual procedure, anyone who shows up just after we get grid ordering situated will start behind me.

[exhausted] What a race. We got a new winner, a new champion, and a great close to something that I have poured a lot of work into. It's too bad that there had to be such a high rate of attrition, but we had to fight for our finishes. Great season and great racing, everyone. I'm glad we kept it all honest and as clean as possible.

I want to apologize again to CBR900RRR, I really feel awful about the incident between us. All my bad, buddy!
I have no face to show after that, this happens to me very rare almost never ( is like to see Roscoe with a lady ).
I always keep a safe distance, brake early and change lines to avoid contacts, but this time I just simple loose the car. I made my drive trhough, but that dont give the excelent race you was running back.

Manuel, no problem, we all come into a corner too hot at some point in a race and occasionally accidently make contact. We had a good race for about 10 laps, staying within a few hundred feet of each other.
OddBall, in retrospect, I was right on your bumper going into the chicanes and probably should have backed off in case something occurred to give us more room to correct, there was not enough room to pass you anyway.
Great race series and it has been a pleasure racing with all you guys.

That's one thing I want to see from the replay. I don't know if I zigged when I should have zagged or what happened. It really sucks to run 50-60 laps of practice to get my car dialed in, then crash out on the first lap.
