that's up to the Kingsburies, I only showed up with 30 minutes to go so they have a better idea of how the race went.
I will make a write up about my race in time and will have some interviews from other cars.

GT3 Touring Car Cup Round 2
Any exciting race for all cars and man what action there was! I will start off from the top with car #02. Nathan Lamothe took the wheel of the XRR GT3 for the first hour of the race and powered his way past teammate Ray Kingsbury. Nathan then continued to battle with cars near the top 10 and pushed his race craft to the limit. After the first safety car at around 45 minutes Nathan opted to stay out for the next 25 minutes with his used tires, as did others. However upon the 2nd safety car at 50 minutes Nathan opted to pit and swap seats with Matt Kingsbury. Matt had a rather poor start after being taken out by an FXR GT3 that uncautiously rejoined the track smacking into him and damaging his suspension. Matt continued on until he was stuck in a sand pit and opted to retire.
The #18 FXR GT3 driven by Jordan Lavrikov, Rihard Suur, and Karolis M. had a much more consistent and simple race. This was the first endurance race for all 3 drivers and they put their heart and soul into it. Rihard started the boys off at the back of the grid, near 25th but his consistent pace meant that the car would be brought back in one piece. Karolis and Jordan drove with similar zeal and besides being pushed off track by other cars and battling with teammate #18 Ray Kingsbury had a rather uneventful race and cruised to a finish 1:45 behind the leader in 13th position.
The #22 FZR GT3 had a very eventful race. Ray Kingsbury started behind the wheel and battled with teammate Nathan Lamothe as well as other cars in the stint while maintaining a position of approximately 15th. At the 45 minute mark there was a caution and Ray decided to take advantage of this to change tires and to swap seats with Joe Letteriello. Joe and Ray's plan was foiled when there was a second caution flag just minutes later. Joe pushed on to finish the 2nd hour in a relative pace. Ray hopped behind the wheel for the 3rd hour yet again and was on fire. In the first half hour of his stint he had worked his way up to 7th position and was battling with cars such as Team Vires. Unfortonately after a safety car restart, Ray was taken off the track in a pileup and was at the back of the pack. Ray pushed hard and set a team personal best of 1:43.68 before catching up to car #21 of Team Vires and passing them. Ray left the #21 car approximately 10 seconds in the dust. However bad luck struck when the fuel was miscalculated and the team was 1.3% short. Joe clutched as much as he could in the last hourwhile battling #17 Savage Sim Sports but unfortunately ran out on the front stretch and SpdoRacing cruised by to take 11th from us. The #22 car finished in 12th position after a 20 second penalty.

However, despite this unlucky break Joe and Ray have learned alot about adjusting the car, anti roll bars, and the setup in general. Thanks to Sean Williams for helping us with our setup.

Strong Finish at GT3 Touring Car Cup Round 3
Only 2 Last Lap Motorsports cars took to the track on Saturday. The #02 XRR piloted by Matt Kingsbury and Nathan Lamothe did not start the race despite a strong 11th place qualification. The #18 FXR started nearer to the rear of the field with team new comper Pavle Lacko and Karolis M. behind the wheel. The #22 FZR piloted by Ray Kingsbury, Mariusz Jachna, and crew chief Joe Letteriello who found themselves starting 8th position after making a run in the Super Pole. Meanwhile team trial driver Tuomo Jussila piloted the #37 Matrix Racing car in partnership with K.Nestoras of TDRT.
From Ray's point of view this was a very eventful race. Ray started in 8th place but at around 15 minutes through the first hour had powered to what was about 5th position. Holding a consistent pace Ray started to fall back into the grasp of faster cars until he made a mistake that forced him to plummet to 10th. At the hour mark a safety car was called for Team 6th Gear's misfortune of rolling their racecraft over at Turn 1 exit. Ray took this as an advantage and pitted to replenish fuel and replace tires. Unfortunately Mariusz's wheel was not ready so Ray was forced to drive a 2nd straight hour. During this hour race continued to push and again moved into a high position. Ray managed to do a laptime of 2:01.9, 4 tenths faster than his qualifying time and faster than the majority of the field who averaged 2:02.5's. Ray handed the car off to Mariusz, unfortunately the car had a large amount of right front damper damage and Mariusz was forced to ease his way around the curbs drastically slowing his lap times. Mariusz looked to be taking home 5th place until a small mistake down the infamous chicane down a hill caused him to spin off and drop down to 6th. Savage Sim Sports was the benefactor of the LLM mistake within the closing minutes of the race, however the team took home a solid 6th place out of the 28 teams who qualified on qualifying day. The 18 car had a strong drive aswell, Pavle learned alot about endurance racing despite a not so stellar finish, his personal pace was not too far off of the other cars. Karolis who was a reserve driver was called up to drive a sole hour when another driver had technical issues. Karolis was not too far off pace considering his limited practice and little preparation and all in all even managed to battle a few and run on pace by the mid way point of his stint. Car 18 came home in 15th position.
A solid 6th and 15th place finish. 'Grats Pavle on completing your first ever endurance race and I would like to thank Mariusz for his participation and congrats on a good finish in his first endurance race aswell!
Thanks to all LLM drivers who participated, it was a blast
.Edit: Thanks for good clean racing at end by everyone.
New Arrivals at LLM
1. Anthony "kingcars" Rossomano, an ex-Starlite Racing member who raced along side of Joe Holmes and Anton Moroz at the Kyoto GP Long Reversed circuit in GTAL claiming 8th position. Anthony is a sim racer with not the most experience, however his speed and clean driving make him a good addition to the team. Anthony has finally been able to commit time to sim racing now that his job has eased up on its restrains. Anthony is an American from North Carolina (yep, NASCAR country). Welcome Anthony!
2. Tuomo "t.nuvolari" Jussila, who has been racing in GT3 in a partnership with a TDRT driver, the duo races as Matrix Racing. Tuomo is a relatively quick driver, and despite not being the most experienced driver still has a lot to bring to the table and to improve on. Welcome Tuomo!
3. The 3rd addition to the team is Abasc "Sico" Knarf of England. Abasc is a quick learner and has quick speeds on most combos. Though not the fastest Abasc certaintly has what it takes to make LLM more competitive on the track. We would like to thank Franky.S for the reference to this quick driver. Welcome Abasc!

Thanks for bringing me onboard, fellas! Lookin forward to getting my feet wet in some leagues. 
so who is this Frank Csaba that is reversing his name for some reason
^this..
but, good luck LLM, hope you guys can pull out some competitvness now
Everything seems to be going on the right lines now, for all the objectives set for this year...and that can be noticed by many of our new members' quality, which is a definite improvement over last year
Although, in another note, I do have to stress this rule now, because we've had some cases of this problem and it's an absolute pain to take care of (not to mention it's something that breaks the law):
We will NOT accept any more drivers that share their account with other people.
Because we went so easy with requirements during member recruitment, it was only inevitable that some guys with shared accounts got in the team, and in turn it was inevitable that some problems with attitudes and identities stemmed from it. And most recently during a league race (no names mentioned), there was a case of a member whose account was being used by someone else when he was supposed to take over from a driver at the end of a stint.
So here it is, if you are interested in joining but you share your account with someone else, only way around that is by making that account yours and yours ONLY. Otherwise, sorry but you'll have to look somewhere else.
With that said, the members who share their accounts won't be kicked because of this, as long as they can keep them under control.

And to what Rui says, basically that's a note to applying drivers. If we find out your sharing your account your application is denied.
