Very great racing with you guys again, love these Endurance events!

I feel bad about binning the car but honestly I was pretty shaky after my start and was just tense behind the wheel. My apologies guys, I really should have just kept it slow and steady instead until things settled.

Kyle, replay file has been uploaded to the Server and can be found here: http://bandofothersgaming.com/files/downloads/iRacing/replays/2016-Le-Mans-24hr-12th.rar
 
No hard feelings for anything that happened. I had loads of fun and that was my main goal when participating. I'm pretty sure most would agree with me.

I too want to thank everybody for the race and for letting me in on this. I had such a good time and i would love to run with you guys again if i am allowed to ;)
 
Thanks for all the fun guys and the great effort, even though we were in a car that was doomed from doing well, no matter how hard we tried.

The damage early on really disappointed me, simply because it ruined the car for the rest of the race. After watching the replay I think I might have been able to make a less disastrous choice but I also feel confident that I didn't have enough time to carefully consider my options.

Nonetheless we had a good race after, battling many Fords :) and I'm happy that we didn't park it.

Extremely disappointing race through no fault of our own.. I am unsure if we could've been hit with worse luck, so early on in the race and all.

Despite that, I had a LOT of fun as usual - a testament to how awesome the team is. Ultimately if it isn't fun then it's not worth it but through many laughs and tears, we finished and didn't give up, battling back from heartbreak.

There was a lot of traffic throughout the race, which I think speaks for the 1-split / registration race... so you don't have teams quitting and just starting the next race in 5 hours at the start... made a big difference.

Thanks also for the help on the highlights sheet - you'll see the fruits of that within a few days, I think!

Great job to everyone! Stuff happened and that's racing. There is always next year. Glad everyone stuck it out in the end and we finished which is the main thing. I truly look forward to the next endurance event and hope I get to experience it with all of you by my side again. Although, I think for the next 24 hour event I will be setting more time aside to sleep.

Well, I'm actually sitting in a recliner chair behind my wheel so it's pretty comfortable. The thing is no matter how comfortable a chair is, if you spend enough time in it your ass will inevitabley go numb.

Video thumbnail teaser!

I expected to have the video go live this morning but I dropped the ball and forgot a thing or two and need to go through the test render now to make sure it's perfect. So enjoy the screen for now.

Look at that thumbnail. There we were, looking so innocent, full of hope and vigor, ready to take on the world. Then reality hit like it always does. He (reality) saw we were getting to high up the rope and broke out the celestial scissors. We fell and broke our egos. We looked up and asked why? Reality looked down and said, "Come on, boys! You've heard it before, haven't ya? If it was easy everyone would do it but it's not."

That was another awesome video man. Really enjoyed watching that and I was actually crying with laughter at Ken's wake up call and dial up noise :D Brilliant stuff

Great video bud. Sucks you guys had so much misfortune. I was blown away by that HPD slow down in the racing line.
