Jordan GP doesn't discriminate over ability, speed or experience - however it would discriminate over bad racing etiquette or lousy attitudes.

Scoop is more than welcome to join the team đź‘Ť

...but that was my point about competition and arguments...nevermind. I'll just shut up then.

:lol: LMAO :lol: That's what I do Ardius :D

I was in the middle of changing my gaming setup (and still working on in :grumpy:) so my racing wasn't hitting on much. The fully adjustable leather seat is out of a Miata and has the speakers in the head rest that I have my surround sound hooked up to them :sly: The desk I have modified to hold a 32 inch LCD TV đź‘Ť and it's only 1 meter from my eyes so I'm sure it will look much bigger :crazy:

My race was wet and I kept getting water in my eyes as my visor would fog up and I would have to raise it see. Never practiced Silverstone in the rain so it was to say the least an adventure đź‘Ž Everything happened during the first pit stop. On my in lap I got tagged by Kak with the resulting damage to my rear wing caused my second spin. My third spin was because was on my out lap.............sorry, can't seem to blame that one on anybody :lol: Just watch the video :D

With no practice on a track that I have never raced in the rain and I was only a second off Ginty's pace makes me right pleased with myself. I am sorry for the confusion and and the resulting penalties afterward.

No problem, it happens to all of us lol :D

And to Ardius' point, I like a bit of healthy competition. I'm a very competitive person and like to win or at least be one of the best at anything I do, so naturally I will be as competitive as possible in this Championship. Luckily, i'm not as hot-headed as last season, and I think that makes me an overall better racer.

Also, I don't discriminate over ability either. I wasn't anywhere near the best but was still accepted into a team last season and Rob is not the best either, but is still in my team. I just prefer to have someone I know more about, even if they're not quick.
Rob: I actually know him and know exactly what he's capable of.
Fishfash: I've raced him before and so I know he's a clean racer and very quick lol.
Scooby_Alonso: Again, I know him personally and even though he's Luca Badoer pace, I know that he's sensible and knows racing etiquette.
 
Hey, you can update the tables now Jamie, they seem to be working. Check my post, I think it's on the last page.
 
Alrighty then, i'll take a look and see what I can do :)
 
Cheers for the acceptance shaggy, if im not at work ill definately make the race

By the way mate, sorry if my comment sounded a little rude, I am a nice guy lol. I would like to say welcome to the league, and I hope you enjoy it here, it is a good community, and we're all pretty awesome....

....Apart from Shaggy....he smells :dopey:

Only joking Ben :D
 
I'm still very new to the F1:CE world, I don't know the tracks all by heart yet, and my wheel setup is not ergonomic at all. But in time, I will improve, and maybe I can start challenging for championships, but for now, i'm the Minardi to you Ferraris. Montreal is a good track for me, so some serious points, but i'm really wanting to outperformy my team mate and other "backmarkers" to show that i'm not just the guy to lap:lol:

Oi!

Lest I forget, here is our real-world reference to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, provided by the master of Montreal, Lewis Hamilton:

I knew somebody was gonna say that!

BTW, sorry to the multiple Brawn drivers, i've noticed that I totalled up your points tally incorrectly and put you on 83 instead of 85. I'll make sure to correct this for the tables which I should be able to post tomorrow night after the race.

I was gonna use that vid because of it being from the 2006 season, but I just think Hamilton is more interesting to watch around this track.
 
Hey Kakundoo, I love the Renault livery, it's a good luck car to me, so could you be a good pal and probably let me have it next race?
 
Sorry, I race 10x better in the Renault, so unfortunately.....no.
 
Is everyone finding there is loads of lag at this track. Plus the servers will be rammed tonight as it race weekend.

:lol: they're all exactly the same performance wise, it's just the livery. But if you don't want to, no problem. I'll just stick to the Williams, but don't tell Fast Duck.

I think the main reason for this lag was because i started games which were open access and given that Montreal is such a popular track (probably along with Imola and Bahrain, one of the most popular), there were tons of people joining and leaving, which led to lots of lag moments when your car would freeze for a split second, losing you time. It wasn't anything like the lag we experienced at Imola this season when everything seemed to go into slow motion for upwards of 10 seconds. As always, if drivers could try and switch off any programs that would be using up bandwidth.
 
Not a great race, I must admit. Qualified second, which I expected, only a tenth behind Ben. Got a good start off the line, but into the first corner, someone rammed into the back of me, smashing off my rear wing. I knew my race was going to be a uphill climb from there.

I had the pace to keep with Ben the whole way through, but I was held up by King, GINTY and Duck at different points in the race, and to make it worse, every time I had the opportunity to leap frog them in the pits, I always messed up somehow.

I was hoping for a better result, especially it being my birthday and all lol, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Well done Ben, very consistent drive.

(Btw, who was it that hit me in turn 1?)
 
Kak you took my front wing off at last bend when you was battling with king

No I didn't. I slipstreamed King, but then he knocked into me, pushing me off at the chicane, and as I came back on, you hit into the back of me, I know because my back wing got damaged because of it.

Yeah I know King lol, I was just saying that's what happened, i'm not forcing you to concede your position....or am I? lmao
 
you cut right in front when you went off and took my front wing right off i had no were to go
 
dont worry had a good race though good win shaggy do my race report later
 
I qualified 4th which was a surprise. I took it easy going down to turn 1 when Ginty flew by me and took HEMlata and kakundoo out. So was up to 2nd with Duck behind me. Then the penalties came and Duck went by next lap the same and Kakundoo was by. Then Kakundoo done the same so me Ginty and Kakundoo was all close. After the first stop i was still infront of Kakundoo which i didn't get as he was fast but only gave him the one chance to get by as he slip stream but as we was side by side i took my line and edge Kakundoo out into the chicane. Then i pitted and came back out in space so just he every lap aswell as i could and was back infront of Kakundoo when he came out of the pits. With only 3 laps left i knew 3rd was mine as i had a small gap from him.

Well done Shaggy, and Duck was on it tonight could never get close to him.
