Was a very entertaining race. Gutted that I span out on the last corner. Twice.
But at least I was able to manage my fuel ;p (Although I did run out just before the finish line.)

No idea if my connection will cope any better than FV's. But will be happy to give it a try and see how it goes.

Second! Even though half of the field disconnected.

Also f0rk, ruined my first corner. T-boned him while he spun.

You think that's bad, I ended up with a penalty on the first corner of the first lap for passing the two of you when you span. Illegal overtake apparently. Stupid thing.

Race was good fun though, but a big shame about all the disconnects

9 Laps!? Wow my primes were struggling after that many laps. I managed about 6 on my options from quali.

I was purposely putting the power down later etc. I think it helps.

Might've been my setup, too.

Either way I'm shit with dead tyres and I seem to be better at prolonging their life without losing too much time, so I'm happy.

Very fun race, despite me doing shit.

Loading it up now!

Edit: Lots of close calls!

We definitely swapped roles this race. I was out in front and had very few moments, it was just about doing quali laps and keeping consistent. That video is usually the type of race I had in our last league. It's not too bad my FRAPS didn't want to record because your vid is infinitely more exciting.

Do harder springs increase tyre wear? If so, I guess I know why my tyres get fucked so fast

In the race my options were going off by lap 2 and were out of grip by 5.

What spring values were you using? I had mine around 6 and i was losing grip by about lap 7-8. (Something like ~80% options from quali)

I use both springs on 8. That's pretty much the only setup change I make. :lol

No interviews etc this week because it was a bit of a shambles.

I'll set up a way of polling for tracks tonight and we can vote on them to determine the next track.

I'm going to PM out a poll now for you all to vote on.

Please pick FOUR of the tracks you'd most like. Also, Monaco isn't on the list because we're definitely doing it, so if that was one of your choices don't fret!

Voting ends on Wednesday.

Please don't vote multiple times in it!

I think I've got everyone, but if you haven't had one feel free to shout at me. It's very early so I might've missed one!

Shaneus asked me about the schedule in PM so I'll respond here for everyone to see.

Since we started late and Christmas is around the corner I think we should have one more race this weekend and then break for Xmas. I'm sure everyone will be too busy before/after Christmas and around New Year to bother.

So it would look like this

Dec 10th: Race 2
Christmas/New Year break
Jan 7th: Race 3
Jan 14th: Race 4
Jan 21st: Race 5
Jan 28th: Race 6

I think that will ensure that we get as many people as possible. It's a shame we couldn't start in Oct like planned, but oh well. A 3 week break will fly by over Xmas.

6 races is enough for this league, I think. If we've kept the numbers up and people want to continue, we could do another mini league. We'll see how it goes!

Spa
Suzuka

Those are the other winners from the poll. Not a bad choice boys!

That means:

Dec 10th: Canada
Christmas/New Year break
Jan 7th: Spa
Jan 14th: Monaco
Jan 21st: Suzuka
Jan 28th: Monza

Not a bad season! Hopefully with a new host this race will go better than the last, too.
