Oh oh, gotta look in my room right now

Phew, just checked and he wasn't there, what a relief. Though this doesn't stop me from having nightmares now, thanks Andy

that was actually pretty disappointing. I was held up badly by Daniel who didn't have any sorts of pace. Which meant i couldn't get close to Nathan and Andy.. shame we couldn't get a 1-2 here, it was a perfect but wasted opportunity

Hmm, very poor driving in my opinion from Apex. Double and triple teaming against myself and Nathan on occasion. We go out to race, seems they have a different agenda.
Black was extremely aggressive in defence, as were the two main ARTs.
I don't forget these things, this was sickening. For Nathan, I feel he was robbed.
Onwards we go.

the AI were backing out too much, which is why it felt too agressive. I agree there was one agressive defensive manouver where Nathan almost spun, but apart from that they seemed to be fully legal.
don't think we were teaming, rather working against each other, Daniel was the slowest in the group, and he was holding me up in the first half of the race.

apart from that, this season after I thought it was lost after race 3, now seems revived again, I hope I can challenge for the title now that I'm not that far behind. Even though James looks like the clear favourite.

"Here are we, interviewing the GPTCC Istanbul Race 1 and 3 winner, Andy Black. Andy, it's a perfect weekend for you and your team. You're currently 10th in the standings with a 59 point gap to the championship leader, do you think you or your teammate can be a title contender?"
It's really hard to say if I can be a championship contender but it might be easy if my teammate can be that. We could also be chasing for the Constructors' Championship title but I'll need more podiums and strong results so I can be in the Top 5. If we can close the gap to 2KF1 and McNamara in the next races I'll be pretty sure my teammate can be champion and then I can be in the Top 5 or Top 10.
"Hungaroring is next, it's one of your favourite racing tracks, do you have any hopes for the next race?"
There are high AI errors like in this race, but if my car gets very strong in this race, I'll be pretty sure my weekend at Hungaroring will be like my weekend at this race.
"Thanks Andy! See you in the next race."
Cheers!

role playing mate

I don't too often get angry at the AI, it just does what it wants. I only get angry when real people make poor decisions....
In any case if I was driving a touring car series and got double teamed... lets just say there would be a lot of dents you, Daniel and Andy would be having to bash out.
