Pfff, i'm sorry but this is just too much for me to handle, i had an okay start, from 2nd to 4th, but after getting in an accident with HiBerg on the first lap stuff started going downhill, literally. In the 30 minutes that i raced i hit 4, yes 4!, invisible curbs (i don't know what they are but i was driving on the section after cp1 and i just got launched into the air). After this i discovered that if you smash up the Picador just a bit, it starts to spin out, every single corner... I won't say it is all due to the Picador, but all the bs this race just made me rage for the first time ever on GTA. I've hhit invisible walls, dropped lampposts, etc. before, but this was just too much. I want to appologize to team Cheval and all the other racers, as i was just taking up a spot someone else could've had. Congratulations to the winners.

GG everyone! We managed to finish with 16 people but the lags was real, not gonna complain though, I still feel like this was one of my best event races ever, from 16th to 4th! I'm really happy. And to you Pundip. Thank you so much for this, very well done event and some great organization making this one of the best events for me so far.

GG everyone! That start worked out perfectly in the end from my point of view. Didn't really see any issues or crashes and it meant the first lap was epic having everyone so close together. First 3 laps were an epic three way battle for first with TDWPMark & shinx aka MyComingBack. Then up to around lap 10 myself and shinx aka MyComingBack were trading positions constantly. The last few laps were nervy for me though. Around lap 23/24 (I think) I had that oversteer glitch so had to pit...then on lap 29 it struck again and I had to literally nurse the car home. A 30 second lead cut down to 10 seconds Thank you to everyone on the mics at the start, helping organise the gird positions...that made things so much easier and everything went pretty smoothly. Dim Sorry you had issues with invisible props That's a bug that R* need to fix asap...I've had it ruin races for me too. Oh and check out that OP host connection! All 16 of us making it to the end with no DC's Cookies for everyone!

Did you guys know I missed a checkpoint and lost 8 positions? Can't remember if I mentioned that in gamechat or not... Well, at least I can say for once I think I had the pace to finish higher than I did, after missing that checkpoint I then encountered Dim on one of his tragic collisions with invisible kerbs and I got rekt again, then smashed into a barrier which gave me the dreaded Picador oversteer damage so I had to pit. I was fairly comfortable in 5th but then all that AIDS put me into 13th and way behind everyone else so I'm glad I managed to make up three positions from being so far out, at least all that practice wasn't totally for nothing. Anyway, that was a superb event from start to finish. I really can't commend it highly enough. First of all, all sixteen players showed up in the pre-lobby and all cars were parked in team formation with very little trolling, then that beautiful train of Picadors to start the race and we all got into our positions relatively quickly and the slow formation lap was amazing with pretty much zero in the way of mistakes, crashes or shenanigans. Also, there were people with mics who I'd never spoken to in NoDo events before, always nice to have more people to chat to during the race. There were a few issues with lag and my own race was a nightmare at times but as an event, absolutely 10/10. Best thing I've ever had the privilege of partaking in in NoDo. And a full lobby of sixteen managed to stay to the end with no DCs. Unbelievable.

I think the pace lap is one of the pinnacle points of PS3 community of NoDo. I will always remember that lap. I think we should send the video of it to broughy. I am sure he will be amazed how last-gen side do things, how serious we are.

Congratulations to Pundip on being the only person to fully catch up to Mark I guess I'll forever be known as 'The Other Mark' from now on, this is my life now I'm surprised that I finished as high as 2nd, but me and shinx aka MyComingBack avoided the big crash at the start of the downhill section on lap 1 and I just took it steady from there. I did crash on the downhill section once and needed to use the pits twice, but I just had enough pace to stay in front of the people close behind me (most notably cloudmcshort who nearly reversed the whole way down at the end of lap 29 )

The entire thing was a testament to the current PS3 community, a really awesome pre-race meetup with everyone in attendance, no cops, very little trolling (all of it good spirited) and the organisation of the start of the race was the icing on the cake. Everything about it speaks volumes about the awesomeness of NoDo PS3.

I went from 6th to 9th and then to 2nd just in that lap!

That's all I could see.
