Please, pay no heed to my points score.

It's a typing error, that's it.💡
 
What's happening next season? Are we going to have a full grid? Have team changes been arranged?
 
Heh, that's a nice team name. In my BTCC though we've got the "Rumble Strippers"...sometimes I wonder if they meant it like that :dunce:

As for GTPF1, looks like it's going to be an interesting race. A Red Bull and a BMW line up on the front row and on the back row. Machiels picked the right row to be in, but I'd be afraid of Domingues's nitro boosters from the back row (I know they were infamous in one season!).

Although, since I'm on the same row as him he better get away quickly... :scared:

EDIT: As for Season 13, were we using Taipan's form of team changing where the top 11 pick 11 drivers to pair up or whatever? I've kind of forgotten but with one day to go we should get something together...
 
Congrats Bram.

So how are the next season's cars to be decided?
 
I'm moving to Mclaren, if possible, if not, Ferrari.


*EDIT*: Before deciding the seats, who's still with us of GTP?



Sunday quotes: Machiels brings home 2nd title!​

At Interlagos, the GTP season was yet to be decided. The battle for the drivers title had yet to be decided, between BMW's very own drivers. Machiels and Domingues have had their share of bad luck throughout the season, but when they had the luck with them, they were always in the front. BMW has stepped up its pace since season 11, bringing home the constructors title with dominance. Machiels needed to score only 1 point at Interlagos to seal his title, but Domingues wasn't planning on giving up either. However, Machiels carefully drove his qualifying laps, setting him on a 2nd starting spot while Domingues had problems and had to start from the back. "When I heard Bruno would be starting from the back, I immediatly decided to take it easy in the race. Graham had a wonderful pole lap, so I decided not to take the risk of taking us out, or having mechanical difficulties." Machiels said. And Machiels played it very smart indeed, Domingues pushed the car so hard to get into the top 8, that he collided with another car on lap 5, giving away his chances on the title. Machiels: "After that, I just let Danny go for it, he worked so hard in the previous sessions here in Brasil that he fully deserved his third win of the season."

On that, Machiels decided to switch to a different team. Ferrari has been struggling to keep up with the rest, despite their very fast but fragile car. Ferrari wants to have Machiels to get their team back on track. Machiels does not say no and says he easily will trade in his BMW for a Ferrari. "It's time for a new challenge. BMW is happy with what I did for them those 2 seasons, I know it. But one cannot stay at the same team forever, so that's why I want to go to Ferrari". Machiels' other choice was the F1 Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes team, but rumours are that Graham and Hutchison will be driving for the British team next season...​

Nice season all, congrats to Bram (again, was it?) for the championship and his team for the WCC.

But hey, RBR almost ended up with 3rd in WCC in the end :) We had the most wins of any team as well (tied with BMW and whatnot)

So, how is this spot-selection for next season working? Is that list just everyone from S12, except with the people who said they're going to quit removed? As for top 11 picking teams, is it first come first served or what? That's been controversial before...
 
Well Appie said the top 11 driver get to pick their team and teammate, personally I prefer it not with the teammate choosing...
