No doubt you've all watched the replay and to be fair to Chris it looks very much like he was in the lead at the line, and this was reflected in the total race time too.
However, Luke's race was very different to ours; that being glitch free.
So, given that all we have is visual evidence I'm proposing that we let the GT5 results stand, which would have Luke winning the second race.
The main reason for this is that we've had plenty of photo finishes in the past and I don't want to call those or indeed any in the future into question. Besides he could do with the points.
I should also point out that this has almost nothing to do with the $20 bill that appeared on my desk this morning... cheers chap!
As such...

Commentary
So crazy car aside. What a set of races. I'm very glad we went with ASR and TCS settings allowed on those cars, they're barges for sure but at least we got around the tracks at a reasonable pace. Leguna Seca wasn't so much fun I think, not in a serious race kind of way anyway. But the Indy Speedway race was ace. The longer race format (8 laps) was nice too, plenty of time to make mistakes and bring it back and also with boost on and the drafting the race was crazy close for the entire duration - good stuff.
So will we race them again? Maybe, only on the Indy Speedway though I think, that has the intensity without the absurdity.
Next race night.
I've created a shiny new TC500 race track to test/race on, along with potentially a test and tune session around the 650Open cars - as the next league night is Monza super enduro race night.
Get your beers in - but remember folks don't drink and drive mmmmkay
