I now feel like dropping out this event, it seems like it has became very still. Good luck to all the remaining participants!

For what it's worth, here's the start of my race up till the point I DC'd. And yes ged, you are indeed a fool for having continued to wait even after he decided to respawn. Just my two cents

Yea it was quite a controversial moment But thank you for waiting, I think it was the right choice. I did make a little mistake by understeering, but it wasn't my fault that I hit that thing (whatever it is) afterwards. My car was damaged badly because of that (which you can see on your footage as well) so it would be impossible for me to continue defending with that damage. So I decided to take advantage of you having to wait and respawn. The lag that happened after that was unfortunate for you, but it didn't matter in the end I guess. GG on the win! Too bad we couldn't continue our battle because of the DC I was off the pace, but I was able to defend quite well so it definitely could've been a close finish. Also GG on the GT5 championship You've pretty much won unless I win and you don't finish in the top 3 for the final race, but I think that's very unlikely

I gotta say, I wasn't expecting this to be a good round for me because of all the barriers. But somehow I had less problems then on the North Loop. I spun the car out once and hit a barrier one time and I think that was about it. Setting the right rear wing on the car and such did really help. Thanks guys from Slack! Also helping was not taking the right hand corner at the coroner over the sidewalk. The one which is on the same intersection as T1. There's like 3 curbs you hit if you go over that sidewalk on the apex. I missed the sidewalk there every lap on purpose to not let the car slide. On to the last round! My little red Voltic is ready for it! Someone just please remind me I need to change the wheels on it before the race though.

GG on the 2nd place We did have a good battle for a while, but in the second half of the race I did have a bit of a chokefest Hoping to avoid that in the last round

The accident was quite odd, it looked like you got a big kick of acceleration and went straight into the concrete barrier. After that, you started to disappear and i would see your car just parked at random spots, you were lagging badly. As for the championship, anything could happen. It's not over yet!

Yea it was by far my most interesting race so far. There wasnt really a big kick of acceleration, but on my screen I got pushed by you and got a boost from of that. My right front wheel got stuck on top of the barrier. Here's my footage: This moment was quite funny, even Broughy thought you were gonna overtake

Thell_46 Thanks for such a good battle. Great to do another full race fighting like that. Was a lot of fun. Reminded my of the Blaine County 24h race we did in MCEC season 2 with the Blista Compact. I only won the fight due to getting the curb boost on the freeway and blocking you from it. The entire race came down to one bump. Lets hope we can fight again in the final round but it is a track i am not typically good on and the Entity does not suit me very much. Also - thanks to Broughy1322 for setting up this extra championship for the PS4. Gives new players and those that did not get into the main championship a chance to compete in the MCEC events. I know how much effort it takes to organize and it very much appreciated. And lastly - thank god i upgraded my internet. the difference between this round and the first 2 was shocking. Amazing how a slow connection can make such a difference in lap time when racing lots of people.

Broughy1322 So I raced the Fusilade last round, do I need to sign up again or am I automatically in the list for a Voltic drive in the final round? Thanks.

Broughy1322 is there any chance i can jump in the race as a reserve if needed? I don't mind There are plenty of spots available, so send broughy a friend request with "MCEC secondary" in the message. Be ready at the time of the prelobby and you'll just be able to join.
