Bad luck Minty. It's gotta be so frustrating losing first position on the last lap because of an electronics failure :cry:

Ah what an awesome comeback by me! Started off at pole position but stalled at the start of the race, meaning that I slipped down to 10th place. Then over the course of the next ten laps, I stormed into third position! It's just a shame that myself and my bro couldn't keep the one-two finish!

Another frustrating race for Zippo. That must be the second consecutive time you've gone out and lost the lead at the end of a race :cry:

you should check your driving style and maybe tone down your race start bit, I think I need to go a bit more aggresive because I always manage to miss out on 1st

Cool! Then this will be a good warmup for the newer people...

And yeah I want the option to have all tracks shortened by five laps. I'd have three more wins instead of three 'retirements' :rant: I guess no lead is safe if it's me in the lead lol :doh:

Nice race for me! Started in 5th and passed into 1st on the first lap!

But uh, I have to ask....what has happened to my teammate? You're the one who talked me into playing this game, and now it looks like you've quit?! :rant:
