Season 5 Super Spec Rnd 2 Mid-Ohio

Sort of an odd race with our points leader C1 Munz under performing, without getting pole, or fastest lap, or the win in a Pro build Mustang.  The win went to RP Jonathon (also in a Pro build Mustang) as did the pole and fastest race lap bonuses. C1 Munz did collect 2nd place, with Skills130 netting 3rd in a Platinum level Mustang.

GTDon had some bad luck for the second week in a row with another inexplicable game crash this time toward the beginning rather than the end of the race. IlsImlI and C1 Alkyra had some back and forth contact resulting in penalties. IlsImlI got into the back of C1 Alkyra on lap 19 spinning him out causing him to lose 2 places. IlsImlI also did not allow Alkyra to catch up and recover.  But on lap 28 the rolls reversed, and Alkyra spun IlsImlI out in almost the same part of the track, and he did not wait.  Both drivers have earned 2 strikes/warnings and -2pts penalty, however, Alkyra lost 2 positions, and IlsImlI lost 1.  So the final tally is -1.5pts for Alkyra, and -1.75pts for IlsImlI.  Whenever you lose positions as a result of hard contact you are compensated +0.25 points for each position lost.

Mid-Ohio is prone to the sort of contact we saw, with it's steep corners, it's easy to slam into the back of someone.  From what we could tell, this seemed to be the case, and no real intent to harm was at play.   In fact, both drivers showed good control and restraint during most of the race.

So we have a new season points leader with RP Jonathon, dropping C1 Munz to second,  and Skillz130 jumping up to 3rd pushing C1 KalahN54 down to 4th. CoOl 5tory Br0 has gone from 9th up to 5th in a single race!  Who says the handicaps don't help?
