Mental health crashing hard. Feels like I'm going backwards, so once again my battle this race isn't gonna be any other driver or team. I still wanna try and fight. In

Probably my worst race, but it was enough to hold off Kaibutsu in the teams' standings at least. Congrats on your championships, @KJP93 & @Lemm314!

Thanks for racing, everyone

Quali
Pulled out a really nice lap at the end to get 2nd.

Race
Yay! After leading the first two laps, the Furys made their way past then a small mistake at the final corner let @MrRandom287 and, more importantly, @jims709 through. Jims' low wing made him very difficult to overtake and it was a while before I finally made a move stick. Once clear, I managed to lap pretty consistently and cleared Matt at the first pit stops.

After the second stop, I had really good pace and managed to reel in @Lemm314 quickly. I couldn't quite make a move stick though, then a half-spin (my only major mistake of the race) dropped me about 10 seconds off the Furys. That probably turned out for the best because I was out the way when they had the lag attack, and since I was quicker than April's wounded car I backed off and took an unexpected win!

Thanks everyone for racing! I really enjoyed the season and I'm glad to give the Nissan a good send off.

Car was amazing, but spending 80 laps in excruciating pain for that to happen whilst we were 1-2...

Fuck this game. Well done @camp_bell!

[Lemm314]

That's gotta be one of the most deflating races I've had in years. I was determined to run a good race, and felt like I was doing things right for the first time in ages. Trying to tell myself it was a freak accident and not some cosmic force.

Congrats on the win, Campbell!
