8th GTP Formula 1 World Championship

[socomkiller59]

Shouldn't the race be on the 22nd? Since sunday is the 22nd

 

[Mr. S]

Actually, you're right.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

It would be a shame if PAWEL17 quit the series

 

[Tom]

I'd like to make a one-off appearance at Silverstone in the McLaren if that's okay?

 

[Mr. S]

Sure, no problem at all.

Pawel, please PM me in case you're having concerns about all this. Keep in mind, it was my decision not to restart the room. I did it in good faith. Please don't punish the others, who'd like to have you around, because of my mistake.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

👍 Mr. S

 

[jcm]

Pawel???

 

[socomkiller59]

Not going to be able to race, sorry.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Pawel???

I am afraid he may have quit the series-I hope not though

 

[Mr. S]

I'll send the first invites in 90 minutes from now.

Hopefully I added it up right. I threw up 5 times this morning and have a bit of a headache, so hopefully I'll be good for the whole race Hopefully Pawel will be there, as it would make Valencia less boring . I've only done about 10 laps of the game since last weekend, so I'm just hoping for a podium, and a crash-free race

 

[Mr. S]

Thanks but I have them at home, at the ready.

Stuck in traffic atm.

[Mr. S]

Sorry guys, I haven't had a lot of time lately. It's been a crazy week and this evening, the last one of my working week, wasn't exactly better. Good luck, lights go green in around 30 seconds.

[jcm]

Pole, lead first 20 or so laps (pitted on lap 15), then ruined my race with pit strategy.

I had a small colision with Baumi and due to the rain we both spun off, putting Bazylfox in the lead. Next lap, I spun putting Baumi in front of me. Decided to gamble on inters, thinking that would be my only way to win. ******. The inters were horrible, and I had to switch back to Full Wets, and I lost 50 seconds in the process. Had I stayed on my 1-stop strategy I would have won (due to Baumi and Bazylfox finishing only 18 seconds in front of me).

Oh well, I hate Valencia anyway, so I'm still happy with a pole and a podium, just dissappointed that I threw away a win. I also set fastest lap, on the Full Wets near the end of the race, after my terrible strategy mistake.

Congrats to Baumi on the win

After your spin you wouldn't have won
I was on a 1-stop strategy as well and changed it at the end because my gap over you and bazyl(he just crashed) was so big. Unfortunally I got on inters which slowed me down quiet heavy in the end as well

Oh well, I still lost 3points. I need to work on my wet races. In both this season I've thrown away 3points, due to ignoring Blue flags and stupid pit strategies. Next time, I'll mess up differently

 

[bazylfox]

Terrible race for me. I like Valencia, but only when its sunny

I spun couple of times and was struggiling almost all the time.

When you two (Baumi and Jcm) crashed i tried to drive as carefull as possible and i had some gap with Baumi behind me.

But 3-4 laps to go i crashed and pitted. My team putted me Inters on and what a mistake that was!

But - since i got front row start and keeped that position - i'm very happy from the result.

Why Mr.S and Pawel quit ?

 

[thunderjolt]

Why Mr.S and Pawel quit ?

Rage quit? But I highly doubt that. Maybe they had to do something important, also keep in mind Pawel stays up early in the morning for this so maybe he was tired and called it an early race.

Internet disconnected. The same as last week. It just turned off for 5 minutes, then came back on again.

 

[Mr. S]

I haven't quit but don't have much time atm, so I'm spectating instead of driving. I'll be on the grid for the next 4 races, hopefully.

 

[bazylfox]

Thanks for answers guys.

Since i'm leaving for few days next sunday, i won't be able to race.

Wish you all great race GP UK !

Maybe your router could be the problem to the disconnections. It happened to me as well when I had a Belkin router.

I just got a brand new one, which has fixed all my problems with another series on GT5.
The problem is rain. Believe it or not, every time it rains, the internet disconnects. I know, it's silly, but there's nothing they can do.

Sorry to hear. That must be really discouraging..

Do you live in the Outback mate?

Shame your connection is a problem; hopefully no rain next Sunday

 

[Mr. S]

Pawel, are you using a DSL connection? Did they check if your DSLAM might cause the issues? Back when I moved out and had my first own flat, I had the same issues - turned out the local DSLAM wasn't properly sealed and it, literally, rained in.
