I thought that was a great first round. Good turnout, and good battles. It didn't help that no one knew the reverse circuit but that made it an interesting first lap. Great series GRD.

I wanted to go to less frequented tracks. Indy-Alt, it turns out, is not a favourite of many . . .

Good to see good turn out + variety of cars!

So next wk: 5% power reduction group = Charger & Murphys L

As most of you know already, the last race is at LeMans where power is king.

I actually really like COTA and Yas Marinara (as charger puts it). Very technical circuits. I'm looking forward to those.

The racing in race 1 was great; race 2 was great due to almost nobody having a clue where they were going. lol

I'll have to miss next week, but I'm looking forward Yas Marina and Le Mans.

My Lambo was surprisingly decent at COTA. I'm hoping for the same at YM.

Week #3 at YM:
10% power down: PFM Charger
5% power down: TSCG & Murphys Laaawl

Sorry I missed out. I'll be there at Le Mans!

I unfortunately had to miss as well. I worked late and had a sprinkler pipe burst in the backyard. I spent most of the evening replacing it. Not a fun evening. I'll most definitely be there for Le Mans.

You guys just wanted to avoid power reduction; don't try to hide it. I did it honorably by not winning. ;O

Week look forward to your returns! 3 drivers at 10% reduction. Murphy, charger, and TSCG.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for rain tomorrow night :)

No

I think rain may be the only way I have a shot at the win with this gas guzzling and underpowered Ford.

Congratulations to Charger on winning the championship; and to Chupa for winning his first GSR race since 2013.

Congratulations, charger!

I made 3rd overall!

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Would like to recognize that TopSoCalledGear had the fastest Laptime at COTA west.
