Room up now, Parabolica, password "Silver". Also, I'm gonna be in another room with my family tonight for a movie so there is a possibility I won't be here for long. If I quit the game in the middle of a race, thats eirher the reason or I most likely have a phone call.

I've sent the PMs.
Lofasz, are you able to race again yet? I kind of forgot about this last week and I've just seen it again.
I've got some unfortunate news; My Logitech DFP just bit the bullet. It broke while I was practicing. I heard a bad noise as I was going through the tight left right. Now it makes a sickly beep sound, everytime I start up my PS3, with it plugged in. Frustrating is a big understatement.
I quickly drove over to the local Circuit City, which is going out of business, but all they had left was an older DF, and some logitech MOMO wheel. I'm gonna look online for another DFP tonite. I hope it gets here before next week. Now I kinda know how Lennon feels. Another big goose egg for me
.
Hope you guys have an uneventful/enjoyable race, and I hope I can race you guys in France next week.

Hmm, well, this is going to get interesting, I offered thirteendog your seat beacuse I had assumed you weren't going to make it.
I'll send you the details still, and if sumpington or someone else doesn't turn up, there should be no problems.
If nothing else, thirteendog can participate this one time as an 11th driver, but his results will be discounted from the results.

Not a great race if I am honest.
I started 3rd on the grid, which I was happy about but in turn one I got smashed up the backside and no-one waited for me, which was annoying. I made my way back round, eventually getting passed Tom at the end of lap 2. Appie let me passed after the hairpin, so he was either letting me through because he hit me, or he had a penalty.
I then caught up to King but he got a little bit away from me and as I was going round the penultimate corner, I saw King going round the last bend, but he lost control and span out. From there on I tried to catch the leaders but because of the collision at turn 1, I didn't have a hope.
I eventually finished 6 seconds behind LewyOs and 29 seconds behind Shaggy.
Congrats on the win Shaggy!

Good race, qualified 2nd, already knowing shaggy was going to be faster.
First lap stck with shaggy and got a good draft down the long straight as I expected got ahead by the hairpin but then cocked up turn 10 though and earnt myself a penalty.
Then just before my 1st stop got a penalty at turn 1 also, which meant kak was a bit closer behind me, but not enough to worry.
Other than that, pace was good, lapping in the low 1.15.xxx's consistently.

Discounted for CC or for WC or both? If I score points with 11 people driving will I not be scored?
I'm hoping to get into the top 10 before the end of the season. That way I should be guaranteed a seat for F109 when it comes out.
Congrats Shaggy, I take it you like using the wheel now?

Yeh not a very good race, Qual 5th and managed to get up to 3rd after avoiding the accident between appie and someone else. Going into the hairpin got shunted from behind by appie i believe (sorry if this is incorrect i only say this as you were in forth behind me) and lost my back wheel (i'd love to know why who ever did do it did'nt believe it to be there fault and kept driving). After that i was second last with kakundoo behind me, was hit from behind by him going into the last corner and again lost my back wheel (again no one waited). After that i managed to catch magburner when i came out of my first pitstop as he must of made a few mistakes, got past him and was again hit from behind resulting in the loss of another back wheel haha. All that plus a spin resulted in my 6th place.
Oh also i believe i have to apologize to shaggy as after i got hit by magburner i stayed on the racing line then looked behind me and think this resulted in him having to go off the track to avoid me.

After a crap qual i ended up 6th on the grid. Then i cut the first corner on lap 1 and i was down 2 last. I quickly made it back up 2 3rd by the end of lap 1 and on the end of lap 3 kakundoo hits the back of me which took me into the wall. (he didn't wait). i was pushing hard 2 catch kakundoo and appie 17 and caught appie 17 7laps later. i knew kakundoo was out my sight but push hard but thats when the mistakes was made.
). Sorry guys,this was unexpected,but the kids truck need to get going.

Like I have said King. I do really apologise, but from my screen (where I was going round the second from last corner) I saw you going around the last corner and before I got there you span out. Either the lag bubble has increased in size or..well I don't know.
I apologise to you as well Tom. Like with King, you were everywhere. It was hard to tell where you actually were and as I was coming up to you, you disappeared...?
