You probably mean me, but I used the word retired. Then it started, but I don't think it was all that sudden.
Anyway nice GPs, time was okay. I rather not have it later, a little earlier is always welcome ^^ |

Probably an exaggeration on BBoys part, I know he crashed and lost like 3 seconds on one lap near the end but there was no obvious difference between his pace at the end and the start.

Had you been in my car you would have noticed the difference, I usually tend to slow my pace down towards the end of a long race... If I have a comfortable lead that is. Although, had Steve not crashed and rejoined it could have been a completely different race... who knows. |

Might have been.....but i crashed.
The only criticism i have of the GP's, and this isnt directly at anyone, when you come round to lap people going slightly slower, i just seem to have a mental barrier, and struggle to get past them. On the F1 GP yesterday, i was just over 1 second behind voice and bboy with about 5 laps to go, then i come round to lap someone, get stuck, and lose a second which im never going to catch in 5 laps on bboy and voice 
I think the only solution is just for me to treat them as a infront of me, and not a lap behind.  |

When I was lapping people, I saw they're not necessarily going slower, as they were keeping up with me, but they crashed a few times more than me, which is why I think they were so far behind.
When you're about to be lapped, you wanna drive even better (so you're not getting lapped). This might be why it seems you can't get passed them, cause they're just driving better.
As for losing time while driving against guys you wanna lap.... I dunno  |

Yup, there were a few times in the RFR GP's where Bboy would come up to lap me, and I'd suddenly speed up to start matching his pace Unfortunately, that tended to stop when I'd crash and flip  |

| Ok, but if he said this after Ayrton Senna, that's not valuable |

| Yes, he was a nascar driver. 76 career wins (about 7th all-time) and 7 championships (tied for 1st all-time) he died in an accident in the last turn, last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, while trying to hold off the field so his son (Dale Jr) and Michael Waltrip (Drove for his team at the time) Could get a 1,2 finish. |
