Watching the stream of the xbox race and the question of how I lost that massive lead came up. Heres what happened.

    Marzir(massacro) messed up in the chicane at one point after I had caught up to him and I had to stop or run him over causing a crash. I chose to slow down like a sensible racer. However it cost me about 2 seconds of my lead. Then I got cocky and thought I can pass him and started pushing the coquette way too hard instead of doing what had been working. Later I hit Twi coming out of the tunnel (completely my own fault)and missed the CP too and then I ended up spinning out as I came to the cross section by the tunnel later on that same lap and Haydug made a good pass shortly after. I was right there with him until again I got hit coming out of the tunnel by Ph33nx.

    Its just the nature of the track and multiclass racing that this happened so frequently. My inexperience showed particularly when I tried to push too hard to catch Marzir but there is nothing I could really do about the accidents except when I hit Twi but this race definitely taught me that I should stick to consistent laps instead of pushing it when in the lead and to be more aware of my map by the tunnel.

    Again great race but I thought Id clear that up since that part of the race wasnt covered in the livestream really and looking at how big of a lead I had I thought Id explain how such a big lead can be lost so quickly in an endurance race. Very fun and I learned a little bit more about myself as a racer. 

It was a great race yesterday, I had a lot of fun. It was nice to see, that even on such a technical and rather short track like LSGP (contrary to north loop) a full field has enough space to run and lap for almost an hour without having a giant clusterfuck.
Well, in the second half of the race I grew more and more unconcentrated and I tried to relax my hands on the controller, which resulted in some minor crashs. I hope I didn't ruin anyone's race with that, if so, I am really sorry. It was a great experience having participated as a driver, but I guess from what I have witnessed, watching the stream was also pretty entertaining.
It is a pity, though, that both of my teammates, chrisde22 and delirious807 got disconnected, as they are really competitive racers who would have bagged big points in their respective class. That's a shame, R* / PS3.
Anyway, great racing, guys, thank you!
