The race was really enjoyable for me. The track was just superb and luckily VPAs server proved to be (exceptionally, in my case) stable...though I didn't see lap numbers updating from 6th to some 25th at all..
I was able to get a pole by a hundreth of a second and that helped a lot, as there were even 13 or 14 players on the grid. I tried to drive really constantly all the way, making perhaps some 5 crashes. The only problem was that I wasn't so familiar with the track that would've enabled me to push hard, so I was only capable of 24.5-24.8 lap times with low fuel. On the last lap I tried to get the fastest lap (and one extra point) but the result was three crashes, so I was on my limits, basically.
I was surprised how polite people generally were, as there were also couple of players that I haven't got that much respect for earlier, but nice to see some progress on there too.
Looking forward to the next race, it'll be interesting for sure.

Yeah Razzle you had good luck starting at pole position
I started 5th and got crashed in about 2 curves to last place but through constant driving and (as it seems) a good pit strategy i finished 3rd which surprised me much after the first bad laps
The server was quite good although there was some lap when cars hit each other but no big warps which was very good
Also about people i must say: good driving style
when they know a better placed guy have to lap them they got out of the way very fast, only in the first laps when everybody tried to get his position it sometimes reminds me more of a rough race then a normal race but all over that was no problem

...yea, me and cRN came then there when you was just crashed to tree, fighting hard for 6th place, you should have gave road for us. Near to finish line a gave a road for him finishing before me because I wasn't sure did I push him in Spoon curve when you was driving with us wheel to wheel.

I agree, very well played by everyone. We promised to be fair and we were. The only few problems happened in the first 3-4 laps, where who started in first positions had the possibility to run out from the group, and some unlucky player (like me and benzin) had to play some rough racing to overtake slower cars

You maybe didn't notice what riQ did to Ender, pushed him out to sand with very rough style without reason. That was on lap 6 and there was no other eyes to see that happening, but I did check that from video

Also he tried to hit Tijny. He's got yellow card, next time disqualification

We should have own 3 person judge to concluse player as guilty or innocent. Who will be in judge?

A very nice race indeed, yes. However, there was a minor issue with the track terrain which made it "feel" just a little different than normal tarmac - I don't know if any of you noticed this? (Keppana knows about this, and it will most probably be fixed in next race's track)
As for me, I may have been able to finish 2nd (I had some trouble at my last pitstop), but I had no hopes of catching Razzle, who drove very constantly and deserved the win.
