How was my hosting BTW, any lagg? It was a little shady on the LSGP and Vespucci Grand Prix for me, but overall it was a good connection for a nine man lobby.

All the races from my perspective:
Race 1 of 8: The North Loop (Vacca) In this first race on The North Loop I chose one of the slowest cars on one of the faster tracks. I also made a big mistake at the beginning which cost me a lot of time which meant I had a lot of catching up to do. to the other slower cars.
Race 2 of 8: Alamo Grand Prix (Infernus) Once again I didn't choose wisely. The sensible choice here would be to go for the Voltic, as the huge acceleration coupled with the short distances between the corners means it's rather dominant, plus the car is actually terrible on most of the other tracks. I chose the Infernus. I'm not very good with it and came last, unlike doodlemonopoly who managed to place his in 2nd behind Broughy1322's Voltic.
Race 3 of 8: Apex Predator (Turismo) This time it's a track I'm usually fairly strong on (for me), and in a car I love, but unfortunately I didn't maximise the potential. I was sliding all over the place. Thankfully I managed to finish with a few points though.
Race 4 of 8: Popular Circuit (Zentorno) Once again it's a track I'm normally fairly strong on, and once again in a car that's fast, but I overdrove it to the point of embarrassment especially in the first few laps. Thankfully I managed to get it into a podium position but I owe that mostly to other people's car choices, mostly choosing slower ones.
Race 5 of 8: South East LS Grand Prix (Voltic) This was a disaster. One of my weakest tracks - a track that is full of obstacles, bumps, and kerbs - and I chose one of my weakest cars - the Coil Voltic which hates kerbs. When I realised that I wasn't going to finish and I was in last place by looking at the times, I decided to test out the damage performance instead of actually racing.
Race 6 of 8: Los Santos Grand Prix (Bullet) Another absolute disaster. What was I thinking using the Bullet on this fast track that everyone's good on? I had a decent battle with another Bullet for the majority of the race, but a big mistake at the end cost me from finishing and once I realised I gave up and messed around.
Race 7 of 8: Rockford Hills Circuit (Cheetah) This was a strange race. Firstly there were far too many laps (9 instead of 5) so only the first 5 count. In fact you'll see a few people stop on the sides halfway through. Despite this, I had a lot of fun in this race, battling with all sorts of other cars, constantly losing and gaining positions throughout. There were lots of incidents by others, and despite me using the Cheetah, I somehow managed to battle it out with Zentornos and Entities. It was far too long but it was probably the most fun I had during the event.
Race 8 of 8: Vespucci Grand Prix (Entity) Oh what could've been! This was easily my best performance of the event and I owe it down to using one of my favourite cars on one of my favourite tracks. If it wasn't for a couple of mistakes I might've won. Instead I took it down to the wire with Broughy1322 - whose consistency and defending skills (plus on a tight track which is hard to overtake on) - meant he won in an Infernus (a car I can't drive), with just half a second to spare at the end.

Jesus, 2nd by 3 points given the state I was in last night and with about two laps of practice on each track? I'll take that haha. Nice one Doodle, and well done to Jontti on hosting. Less so to the rest of you who caused mayhem at the start. Enjoyable event though, some good racing

I saw you laughing at me on the stream when I crashed my Zentorno while going round your Bullet.

I just rewatched the stream, the moment when i was in the inside of broughy was the moment my dad shut down my ps3 , I was soo worried that the car might be stuck in the middle of the road or even worse hitting someone else, especially broughy. So that's what happened! Unlucky.

Event Results
So our new Super Master is Doodle well done. The results of the 7th race where taken from the end of the 5th lap, as it was intended to be. Damn, I'd have beaten @driftin on the board had you counted those last laps on the Rockford Hills Circuit. GG to all.

Looking at my recording of that race it seems the first lap, first corner incident involving half of the field really helped me. I did wonder how my Cheetah managed to stay ahead of Entities and even a Zentorno (I think). It also helped that many others kept putting themselves into incidents while I mostly stayed out of it. Of course their overall speed beat me in the end but thankfully the first 5 laps is all that counts

i am sad to say the the video from the event has become corrupted. it has no sound and it cant be uploaded into any editing program. i can however upload the the whole thing as it is but that would take ages seeing as it it is 28 GB and i cant cut it into peaces so i think your'e not going to see a video from me.

You can cut it into pieces using the Elgato software.
