I've always been taught that those idiots out on the highways were greater arses then anyone from Hell could ever be. And what do you know? That phrase is actually a reference to an album by that Meat Loaf guy. You learn something new every day.

The More You Know (star).

In more relevant news, Midland scored a 1-2 in the race tommorow. (it makes sense if you're a psychic) :)
 
It’s just a bit of fun, like the odds on horses before each race.

Somehow my odds have gone up, despite my recent form of being hit by people.
 
Make sure to let me through if I’m behind you. We don’t want another incident.

On another note, I was suprised to see you in a game on a friends account I was checking on. In the McLaren.
 
I had it as well before, in an other game. I planned a stop way after the first quarter of the race but it actually pitted on the third lap :irked:

BTW: Did I just drove the most leading laps in a race? In a Toyota?
 
CCYoshi's Momentum-o-Meter: Istanbul

Looking Up:

Williams: A 1-3 finish from a team that suddenly can do no wrong (nearly), taking the lead by 5 points in the constructor's championship.

Machiels: A strong run to a podium reminiscent of Kawasie's run in Hockenheim. (bias? yes) Both were strong 2nd place runs from the pole in weaker cars; and both led the most laps too. Very impressive.

Haswell and Domingues: Contenders of the past and/or present back on stride with solid point finishes. (after, y'know, a period of lousy races :P)

---

On the Edge:

Edwards: Got a single point in an Aguri - but the home crowd almost seemed to expect more from their hero after a 5th place finish last race.

Chang: Renault is quickly becoming either the unluckiest or the least reliable team this season, despite their pace.

Allman: 3rd place, then retirement, then 4th, then 18th (+1 lap) at Istanbul. Consistency ftw.

---

Falling Down:

Ferrari 056: Twice in a row has lost oil pressure and blown up rather spectacularly under Beyens - cutting his championship lead down to 9 points. Will this free fall continue?

Weiland: Took me 3 races to find out, but the championship's only female driver has another dubious distinction - to be the only person in Season 6 without a point so far. (I know she and Shepherd have had internet troubles, but a lot of other AWOL people have at least lucked into points)

Calculus Homework: Blamed by Kawasie for causing lack of time to write reports, and lack of race pace also (because, y'know, those textbooks are heavy). Also known as "dangit I can't find a third person to gripe about".
 
This damn textbook of mine is slowing me down too...I'd ditch to lighten the car weight, but the team threatened to fine me the price of the book if I do it.
 
(You see, Yuuji didn't mention Honda or either of it's drivers because he is scared to the bone of their pure pace. All they are doing is waiting for the moment to strike, then, like a penguin catching a fish, it will dive into some water and get cold..)
 
I would have been happy with the podium, but with 4th place I’m just resentful.
 
That may very well be the most mindblowing finish order this season.

(Monza major spoilers!)













I got 4th in a Midland ^^
Chang 3rd in Renault, that's not surprising
LeSabre 2nd for Toro Rosso, which probably quadruples their point count!
And in the lead...
Graham! TOYOTA! Not sucking! I was shocked myself, they finally pulled it off. ..this is going to make an interesting report later.
