In
It is NOT possible to abuse the DLC like in PCars1. Everyone has to have it, not just the host.

Thanks for confirmation Greg. I assumed that was the case which is a real shame as it does mean our grid will be down potentially three drivers. Not sure if Neale and Mikey have it but I will message them on XBL to find out.

Normally i'd say we should postpone but I doubt it would do any good at this point and I want to get to the 72D, so I think we should go on with the event as scheduled

Just a quick heads-up, I'm going to be a few minutes late for this one. Should be on by about 5 minutes after 10.

Well done guys... although all spread out I still had a lot of fun with this track. I hadn't realised there were only two races left after this one so clearly myself and Karl left our late season just a tad too late lol. Tyler is getting withdrawal symptoms now.. two races without a win in this series  Those mud mounds are a right pain here.. having got past Tyler on the second lap all was going well until that first one (before Indianapolis I think?) I just slid a fraction wide there and went slightly up the mound and it turned me right back on the track where Tyler had no way to avid me. That as my race done for.. did the same thing a couple of laps from home too forcing me to pit again. Despite the mega long straight it is still quite a fun track to drive. I'll put my video up here in the next few days just have to download it from Mixer and upload to YouTube.. I do miss the old Twitch Youtube integration but pother than that Mixer is really good. |

That was a good time. That's my favorite of the historic tracks in this game. I led all 3 laps before the red flag was waived, I'm not sure if Tyler was sandbagging  or actually couldn't get past me but it was nice to be out front. Then after the restart I was in 1st again going into Indianapolis and was paying too much attention to everyone in my mirrors. Went just a bit wide and was damaged by a mud mound. My only real mistake all night. Good fun tho. |

I hadn't realised last night but having done the standings this morning it's time to congratulate Tyler on being the Vintage F1 1970 Champion With only 18 points available now and Tyler holding a 26 point lead even with losing his lowest score he stil holds an unassailable lead. Well done Tyler, well deserved but we'll be trying to make sure your current 2 race winless streak carries on for another couple of races The constructors is still not quite sealed yet. |

Good fun last night, and the red flag really saved our asses. Thanks for calling it out, otherwise my race was over after the slide into the haybales of T2.
Getting pole was a surprise, as was colliding with my team mate on the straightest part of the circuit...lol. Just too many mistakes in that first part of the race. After the restart i settled down and put in some decent times.
I do like that circuit now after learning both the vintage and the modern layouts in the last couple weeks. Looking forward to more racing there.
Congratulations to tyler on the championship. This car was not easy to figure out for me but i had a lot of fun with it this season.

Thanks everyone, I hadn't realized i'd already secured the championship!
I'd like to give out a special thanks to all of you for racing with us for the past year and a half which I wouldn't trade for anything. It's been a blast even through the hectic family times as of late and I hope there's much more racing to come.
I have a feeling next season is going to be different and everyone will be much closer race pace. The 72D is really a big step up in terms of how modern it feels from the 49C and almost reminds me of how the touring cars handled last year. You really have to whip the wheel around some of those corners.
Also I wasn't sandbagging Greg;) my engine revs were maxed out and I even had to let off the throttle a little to let the engine relax a bit. I really like that track too, I almost feel like we should be using that one for the Le-Mans event instead but for numbers sake it's probably a good thing we're not.
