That was a really fun track to race at. The tire strategy came into play and there weren't as many incidents as I would have expected. We should seriously consider having Special Stage Route 5 on the schedule next season. It was a blast.

Sorry if you thought I was blocking you as you came around to lap me, Golfer, but you were whining about it going through a set of two chicanes where there was no place to let you by safely. Common sense, mate.

We also should have a discussion regarding hitting START and sending text messages while on-track in the race. First off, jake took the first corner or two of the pace lap to send a message, leaving every car behind 7th with a large gap behind the front half of the field. TomM_F1 did not observe the pace speed limit, either. Ah well.

Are we on to the season finale next weekend? Can't wait :D

Yay. My last only really good chance of victory this season I grabbed with both hands. Amazing battle with Tom all race but still an incredible battle and a great finish for Toyota. And victory at the first ever street race. Well done everyone else for what seemed a hectic race, and thanks tiss for doing a good job of hosting :)

To be fair it was my first time ever + the spped limits 60, I think I only went over once then I slowed down loads to lead the others who were strangely far back despite Seb and a few others comfortably behind.
 
amf7
yeh the pace lap was done at the usual speed

Nope, it was done at 120+ kph several times.

I think a good solution for the future would to have a slower pace lap speed limit for tracks under a certain laptime.
 
Aqua F1
Well it doesn't effect anything. Besides, no one kept the 3 car limit either.

If one car in the pace lap has to do its job, it's the lead car.

That and jake contributed to the field crossing the s/f line in 3 groups widely spaced apart. Not cool.

I barely went over though and it wasn't for long, and then I slowed down to 40mph to let everyone catch up which they did I think.

Plus I disconnected so I can't really get penalized apart from reputation as a grid penalty would be too strict but if I do get rep points, then I'd expect everyone else to at least get 1 too.

You guys had 3/4 of the lap to catch up and were dawdling around while I drove at maybe 2/3 full speed and caught up. You all sat around going 70 mph instead of hustling.
 
Jake looking for a scapegoat...

I then slowed down to well under the sped limit to let you catch up thus negating anything I (impossibly) gained from, you shouldn't pause either, its not my responsibly if you cause everyone behind you to stop.

Jeez, I don't get why its a big deal unless I went at racing pace. Everyone was next to each other before the straight..
 
Oh yeah, I figured amf7F1 would get some post-race heat, hahahaha.

I am still surprised the event went off really well, considering the tight confines.

If you guys have any racing incidents to bring up, you know where the PM box is for all the stewards. We'll go through the replay this week.

:lol:

I can't save the replay so I can't comment :ouch:

I never brought you up dude, I don't need a scapegoat, Mike was complaining about me and I said you went too fast (you did) but that him and others didn't do what they needed to either.

Yes you did. You said you thought I would be abiding the rules or something like that when I wasn't gaining anything from it.

Yea I responded to Mike criticizing me, but I didn't come out complaining about you, You're new. I get that. We always slow down enough to allow the field to all start together, even if it means you stop.
 
I'm not sure why, but I thought this race would've been penalty-free.

I liked the race itself with mu smelling my farts all race long and the last-lap-drama with Seth who had no tyres left :)

So, because I bring up that I would get pissed if someone rammed me into the wall I get in trouble myself. Please, if anybody wants to complain just PM me, flame me or whatever, I can take it. But don't tell me I am on a hetz against you just because you have a star in the rep column (which means under investigation).

I am updating the standings now, you can expect the new standings in 5 minutes. Peace.
 
jakegirard
I was under the impression Tom would be following the damn rules.

Also, AMF you drove like the biggest idiot I've ever seen in my life, on lap 4 I think, you slid way wide, I got 2/3 by you, you jammed in side my side into the next 2 S's walling us both, then turn 1 next lap DOVE WAAAY INTO TURN ONE, WAAAAAYY TOO LATE, and blatantly took me out.

no idea wHat tht means
 
5 guys under investigation (remember, INVESTIGATION, no one has said you will get penalties yet, ALRIGHT):

Jakegirard
Freshseth
Adam amf
Sylar Kirk
Tom Aqua

Anymore? I thought Seth said I should include myself, so maybe I will. If he can give me a good reason that isn't being an idiot.

lol bombe. I thought I had a chance to beat you but I was just too slow, inconsistent and slow. :p The result is ok at a track I hate. Well done to Jamman and Golfer for the 1-2.

--

I'm quite angry also because I missed the Indy and Nurburgring races and probably would be a lot closer to the top of the standings. Oh well, onto Monza and hopefully some rain! :D

I have no intentions of attacking you, you should investigate, it's fine. But me and amf are handling it on our own and I think we'd both prefer at this point for warnings to each of us rather than penalties.
 
Oh and there's a mistake in the spreadsheet bombe. It says I didn't turn up at Round 4 Suzuka. Funny because I won that race. :p
And you called me a 'Banned Homme' :D
 
Golfer team with me next season, and I'll get you the right freakin pit strats. By the way, this was probably the best race of the season. Golfer was right, the dueling pit strategies were thrilling stuff. If Golfer had 2 stopped it I think he'd have won :/

I was rooting so hard for you Golfer but either way GJ. I honestly think this track should stay in the championship. It was exciting as hell.

Edit: And Congrats to the champ, Jamm, for driving his usual brilliant race and winning as expected. :)
 
C Ronaldo 7 is an an ugly name, yuck, don't like him. That's why, lol.

I am now officially "Slow as an HRT" because golfer got on the podium, well done. However, you didn't get the special status on the status sheet as you would've also gotten if you had won ;)
