Think that was me simba, I touched harsk which pushed him wide. I did lift off heading down the hill to give the place back but got spun out. Hit john a couple of times too as he was braking much earlier than me - apologies. Waited and gave the place back but I shouldn't have connected in the first place.

It wasn't me, Andreas. As you see, it was bBybon.
Exactly, when I did the braking, you bumped into my car when I had done the braking which has caused me to divebomb inside Andreas and that also had caused a big confusion on turn 4.
But seriously, the result could have been better if I hadn't done too many mistakes like I did. When I tried to get behind Mini Cooper, I wasn't taking corners so right like the Pimiki's Mini just because I was with SM or else I would probably have been first.
By the way, I still had good battles with Zeus and Eran. If I made something wrong, then I'm sorry!

A Cortina convertible? Awesome, a shame it's gone! Seems they are quite rare:

You were strongly lagging for me, maybe these network problems exaggerated the push. I followed you later in the race, you were moving all over the road and in the corners going offroading then suddenly beaming back in front of me. Was a bit distracting but fun to watch.

Congratulations to Pimiki on winning Class M and SimbaLora on winning Class R - they both win 1/43 Frank Gardner replica Ford Escort Mark One models. They are both well ahead of second place in their class and cannot be caught in round 12.
The battle for the overall championship victory will not be decided until the final round (12). Pimiki has three victories and five second places so if SimbaLora scores another win and ties on points, he would equal Pimiki's wins, but lose the championship on countback of second places as he has three.
SimbaLora currently has 197 points with a lowest score of 9. Pimiki currently has 209 with a lowest score of 8. To win the championship overall SimbaLora needs to take first place in the final round with Pimiki in fifth place (11 points) or lower. This will be a hard task against a driver of Pimiki's calibre, but stranger things have happened in real life racing!

Really enjoyed that race. Simba was way out in front, different class. Focused on trying to keep with zeus , which I just about managed. Lap after lap doing the same time, just couldn't get close enough, and there were no mistakes to take advantage of. Great stuff.
Simba lost a whole heap of time , don't know what happened, then we were all pretty close for a short while, with pimiki closing in fast.
In the end, no positions were changed, but a great race none the less.
Shame flaco got disconnected after pimiki got past him, looked like a great wee battle.
See you for the next series

What a Final Round!
Pimiki and SimbaLora, the two stand out drivers of this series had already won their class M (Mini) and R (Renault) respectively, but when they lined up on the grid in Rome last night Pimiki had the points advantage. SimbaLora still had the mathematical possibility of taking the overall title for himself and Germany. He did what he came to do and stormed to a dominant win. Everything now depended on the finishing position of the Hungarian Maestro Pimiki. He brought his Mini home in a safe 4th place behind the superb driving podium men Zeus of Canada (2nd) and Buybon of Scotland (3rd). The total points are now tied on 222 apiece, however the rules dictate that the lowest scoring round is deducted. After deductions Pimiki takes the overall title by one point with 214 - congratulations Pimiki and commiserations SimbaLora!
Above Pimiki and SimbaLora finished Round 12 tied on 222 points. Below after deduction of the points from their lowest scoring round Pimiki takes the overall championship by one point and the Class M (Mini) title. SimbaLora takes the Class R (Renault) title.
Congratulations to Pimiki and SimbaLora - they both win 1/43 scale replicas of Frank Gardner's 1968 BSCC winning Mark One Ford Escort Twin Cam. The cars were posted on Tuesday so hopefully they will be with you soon guys.

Great end to a good series, I usually don't like street course's(armco attraction)
Managed to finish 8, in both races, I was trying not make too many mistakes.
Some good pressure from if, 3rich, Ben and Max.
Looking forward to the new series

Wow, that's a pretty exciting finish for the series! 1 point difference over 12 rounds and 2 cars.... Amazing!! Congrats to both champions 
The last race of the series was pretty intense for me as well. Unfortunately, Eran, Suts, and Harsk weren't able to make the last race, which opened the door for me to move up (potentially) 3 spots from being tied with John Wells for 10th place. After analyzing the points I knew I needed to get 16 points to equal Suts. That would be a tough job to pull off!
I spent a fair amount of time on my setup, and I ended up having a revelation about how to setup a transmission properly. I had been using "realistic" ratios before and I could only really use 4th and 5th gear otherwise it would spin like crazy. Well, I decided to experiment with the tranny flip and noticed that Exeter tunes his cars with the same tranny flip. When I tried it, it was great for keeping the revs up high near the redline, but with all the power add ons my 'Cuda made its power at 3500 rpm and the torque fell off considerably from there, whereas, the hp stayed at 370 throughout the rev range. So to get max power to the wheels I wanted my shift points to be much lower. I tried a few different flip points, and got it where I wanted it. I wish I had figured how to do that earlier in the season!
I managed to qualify 4th which put me in contention for my goal of finishing 3rd place. I got a pretty good start and got up to 3rd by the first corner. I followed Buybon for the first lap and managed to pull of a pass that took 3 corners of door to door action to get by him! All of a sudden I realized I was in 2nd! The pressure was on and I was sweating! From there it was all about consistency, I managed to run mid 17's all day long, and a couple of times when I dropped into the 18's Buybon was right on my tail. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes and managed to stay in front of Buybon for the whole race. It was intense though!
I was extremely happy with how I drove and how I finished. In the end I managed to secure 7th place in the championship! I jumped 3 spots on that last race and Im quite proud of myself! I do take it with a grain of salt though because if there wasn't so many absences I probably wouldn't have been able to pull off 7th place...
The Points Table illustrates some interesting points battles that happened, here's a few that apply to me;
I noticed that Suts and I ended with the same points for the Gordini @31 points, but I had half as many races. Congrats to @John Wells who scored 41 points with the Gordini and was the best driver in that car for the first half of the season!
Congrats to Buybon who was the best driver in second half of the season in the 'Cuda with 68 points. I managed 59 points with one less race, and Suts had 55 with one less race than Buybon as well.
I really wish my schedule would have allowed me to race the Gordini more as I had a love/hate relationship with that car.
The first race at Mt Paranoia, erm Mount Panorama, was really frustrating and disheartening for me. I only earned a last place finish in that race. Then @suzuka I somehow managed to dominate the field in the same car... and then the summer hit and my schedule went out the door and I couldn't race the Gordini again.
Overall, I really enjoyed that season of racing and Im looking forward to the next series, especially since I haven't been playing AC as much as I thought I would. Its just not as good as GT6 because it doesn't have custom lobbies, or worldwide Leadboards, or even seasonal events like in GT6. I need competition, the AI is a poor substitute, and hot lapping so that I can brag to...myself, about how well I did doesn't appeal to me. If I wanted to beat myself all the time I'd go to the bedroom to take care of that
But then again Im getting PCars GOTY next week, and from what I have heard the physics aren't as good but there's a community of involved players just like for GT6 so I might be able to find some competition there....
Either way, I won't be selling my PS3 anytime soon.
Thanks @Sick Cylinder please keep doing what your doing!
