I've got to get to work, so I won't have this uploaded anywhere else 'til tonight.(5.54gb)

Wow, what an unlucky incident Kyle & Ken, he clearly ignored his relative box when trying to turn around. Very annoying.

I really enjoyed driving around in that split, even though traffic caused many dangerous situations. In the end though, it was iRacing that ended my race and not anyone on track so I can't complain too much about the GT3s and lapped Prototypes.

Good job everyone, you all drove well. I think Ken's nerves might need a lengthy recovery period though .

Great screenshots too!

Incident that ruined our podium:

I was so pissed at this guy and so gutted that it ruined the epic run you had Kyle. I had a terrible first stint and was feeling really good in the second which is why I opted to run the third.

We were in a really good place with a Podium in sight and then this fucking monkey pulls this shit and tries to blame it on a GT3 Driver. Yes he was spun but he should have watched his F3.

I've re-watched this several times and can't figure out for the life of me what I could have done differently? I heard my spotter call it out, I saw the smoke cloud and didn't even get on throttle, simply rolled through the corner preparing for carnage.

What I wasn't ready for is a C7 crossing the track right in front of me. I tried to steer toward the outside barrier but there was no amount of input once committed that could save us.

Horribly frustrating!

Twitch Video Highlight here (notice I was off throttle the entire time):

Wow, looks like lots of incidents. We had one in the 5th hour and screwed up the steering for the remainder. Still able to pull out an 11th place finish after an 18th start position.

Today was much better, VLN, didn't qualify so started 29th. Bedo ran the first 2 hours and moved us to 3rd!!! We ended up in 7th after an epic battle in the home stretch with the 8th position car!

So much fun for my first races on both tracks and SR went from 2.74 to 4.93, whoa!!!

Just... wow. I lost count how many times that happened to me and it's bad enough in a normal length race let alone Endurance. That sucks.

This link should take you to the download @Daunt

It didn't occur to me at 3am, but it probably would have worked, or at least worked better, if I had 7z'd the file first... #FailFish

Thank you much! I'm going to start by putting together a video of my first stint, which was action-packed in its own right with us running together, Zac. Then I'll see about making a highlights video.

I was so pissed at this guy and so gutted that it ruined the epic run you had Kyle.

The order of our stints was perfect and what I would've wanted to do before the race even started (Aside from the stay-in in the pits which messed up the fact that you'd have finished). The longer stints we did, 2-3 hours at a time, the more advantageous it was for us.

Absolutely not your fault. Seeing from your real-time view, the yellow flag doesn't appear until far-too late. There's clearly nothing you can do when there's a DP speeding right into you. Horrible jackass that was utterly remorseless, which only fueled my anger. We got right boned.

He seemed to never even take his foot off the gas as he went from exiting the corner, to spinning, to continueing to spin in order to rotate the car around in a donut. No regard to other cars, whatsoever.

Awesome finish Marc. So sorry I missed it, but the screenshots are amazing. Nice work everyone; a good result for my first official endurance race with B2O.

Cheers

While spotting VLN for Bryan today (he finished 2nd in the Mazda but the SOF was pretty bad), I talked to Michael and explained what happened there when you cut the course to get back to the pits and made contact with our car, Chris.

Basically, I blamed the whole thing on Gammack's driver swap fail and shoddy spotting.

 

[Chris Sierzega]

Holy shit, that was you guys? I felt so bad about screwing that BMW over. So sorry for that poor re entry but it was hard for me to look at the track and try and pay attention to my F3 box.. I'm glad I could figure out who it was so I can apologise properly but man it was such a shitty re-entry. Sorry for that.

 

[Will]

Haha don't worry, the car was fine and Michael and Bryan wound up with a top 5 and 148 pts (1 more than we got for 3rd place Friday). I couldn't race Saturday since I was too exhausted, but I watched that unfold on stream. (if it's any consolation, I drove right past the box Friday while double checking that I had all service selected)

 

[little P]

I kind of imagine this is how that race must have ended reading about all these incidents...

That's it, I'm moving over there. I can't believe the commentators comments and the laughing lol

'MURICA!

Sorry everyone... reuploaded my video after rerendering to fix the audio desync. It got REALLY bad at the end of the video. Any likes, shares and subs are appreciated.
