Bah on for a single point before a driver error. I don;t get it, I was bloody fast during the first stint but then just faded back after.
 
Is anybody going to have a private game slot open soon, or has one open already? My F1 2002 game will be over in a little over a day.
 
Nope but I will have a public one open in 2 days.

EDIT: I love my helmet..



EDIT2: Hmmm...



Hey, I can dream..
 
Do you love it enough to keep it for more than three days? :p

:lol: You know what? I think it's a maybe this time round.

Atleast it did better than the pink one which lasted the grand sum of half a night..

EDIT: Yeah I too realise what I just said..
 
lee, I DARE you to use one helmet for a whole season.
 
CCYoshi's Momentum-O-Meter: Barcelona

Looking Up:

Beyens: Another strong 2nd-place finish, takes the driver's championship lead...by a point. A lead is a lead, though.

Renault: A 3-4 finish means they're leading the constructors' championship by quite a decent margin now - 13 points.

Toyosuck: Double points finish, may be 5th and 7th but still quite impressive. Almost.

The Fans: They get to watch a very close and exciting championship battle - let's hope it stays this way!

---

On The Edge:

Shepherd: Yes, he won the race, but is he a victim of the one-win, no-points curse? Is he even driving his own car? There's a severe lack of enthusiasm if so.

Kawasie: Consistency is the key here - 3 strong finishes and then a DNF can really kill momentum. He hopes to get things back together and charge for the championship lead. (yay, bias)

Davidson/Haswell: Also a victim of mediocre finishes (or in Haswell's case the lack of a finish), perhaps this rivalry isn't as hot as preseason hype would suggest?

---

Falling Down:

Allman: Last 4 starts: 16th, retirement, 16th, retirement. Exciting.

Mason: Has shown pace this season at BMW but getting involved in a big first-lap incident doesn't really help his chances...

Vanwall, Weiland, LeSabre: Still got goose-eggs up on the scoreboard...

I blame Blake, that guy really needs to get his act together or he can go back to a career of pizza deliveries..

That's right, second highest ranking. And that means one of three things...

1. I have terribly good luck in public games (maybe: a one retirement, zero win V8 got me an undeserved championship, but I had an eight? retirement, ten pole, four win fourth place BTCC Production).

2. I have terribly bad luck in private games.

3. Give me a better car (lame excuse).

Here's to hoping it's option three, and that I get picked in the lottery.

I'm the one controlling. He did not win, I won. I'm doing it for Williams, the team. I can call it my team anyway because this is my third season there and I'm not looking to move in the future. I'm now giving out a warning for the guy joining me next season, if you quit on me I'll freaking [removed by mod] you with a 12 inch [ditto]. Slackers stay the fawk away from me for god's sake.
 
When is the lottery? If I get picked I know where I want to go. :D

Oh...but not for the [ditto] [removal]. No. Veiy bad.

But winning is 👍
 
I'll freaking [removed by mod] with a 12 inch [ditto].

That is somewhat disturbing, not the whole [ditto] thing, but the fact you have a 12 inch [ditto]....

I guess 11 inches isn't enough for some people....
 
Pole, and going on recent form there'll be a weird problem which forces me to lose heaps of positions at some point. :(

Still, I’m confident in everything except my luck.

Mine's a 13 inch special just like my local bus driver showed me the other day at the shops...

... we are talking about steering wheels aren't we?
 
so what are the points standings
 
MachỎne;2456164
Yes, at 5:31 AM, approximately 30 minutes before I wake up to go to school.

Better late than never in my books. ;)
 
Pssssh.

I have to get straight A's all year in Science this year to make it into Advanced Physics next year.

World Ranking: 1141st! :)

Can I claw back 9 + 1 points in a BTCC series in 3 races? I hope so, this is the closest I've come to winning my first championship.
 
I've done it! :)

I've won my first public series championship. I'm a little disappointed that I only moved about 160 spots up the world ranking, but now I can enter one of thoses ROC series and pretend I'm better than I am.
 
Congrats. 👍
 
Great result for Toyosuck.

NEW FASTEST LAP!

Machiels (Toyota)
Lap 49 (1:13.199)
 
Toyota going for a win!

After the race in Monaco, Toyota definitely prooved they can keep up with the top easily. A 2th and 6th place were the results for the team. Leading driver Machiels therefore asks everyone else friendly to drop the nickname "toyosuck".
 
Hmmmm...no.

And 2th? Pronounced "tooth" I'm assuming. :p
 
Bee
Better late than never in my books. ;)

Absolutely!

MachOne be glad your getting anything, ive had teamamtes who give nothing at all and its far worse.
 
Joined a private A1 game. Adz Gorgeon is in it; I had no idea he was so good! His ranking is in the top 400.

For anyone interested, the game is here:
