Remember tonight please. Overtake respectfully and be aware of what is around your car. No one has the right to lead a slower car unless they overtake them properly first, we may lose a couple of drivers tonight if everyone cant control their aggression. You have been warned.....

jcmAh, just noticed that. I just started updating, so hopefully it doesn't take too long
Yeh if anyone hasn't done it yet I recommend doing it now as it will take at least 15 minutes.

It's updating at just over a percent per minute so I won't be able to make it.

I'm quitting.
I missed last week's session by about 5 minutes and this week I got disconnected in qualifying. I have no real chance of being competitive now.

Pole & lead every lap 
And I looked like Kamui 
On my screen, I had no incidents with any humans (I touched Pagey when he spun, but otherwise no incidents). I saw Spurgy spin a couple people out, and I lapped all of the AI about 6 times. They were extremely slow, and it's very hard to overtake them on this track, especially in sector 3, and it seemed like I had traffic every lap in the last 15 laps, so I have no idea what happened with the fastest lap. It was either me or Pagey for FL.
My pole time was 1:15.987 (those last three numbers might be in the wrong order though).

Hazard- Sorry to hear that man, its a nightmare restarting after everyone has their grid positions 👍
Spurgey- Just you and hazard DC'd
JCM - Congrats mate. What was your in race fastest lap? 1.16.something I remember seeing.
All-Much better this week for me,I treated the AI with respect and they didnt clatter me. I got overtaken twice very sportingly and also did a competitive ovetake myself without getting smashed off the road!!!
Tyrrell- You fool gutted you missed it.
Let me know on here how your races went.
Pagey- Give me your fastest lap from the week before last please.
Falcon- Same to you for last week^^^

Oh well another race ruined by being taken out in first few bends, don't know why I bother to practice! Just as well turn up and bump people out of the way. AI were nightmare, jumping in the air on bends and hitting you after you got by. Please turn them off!
To the person who hit me in the first few bends, probably a racing incident???????
Why can't people just cool it and wait for a better chance to clean overtake? Yes the cars are all equal but some are faster on bends and other down the straights.
8th but should have been better was having a good battle with Spurgey and Sandman till the AI started playing.,,,,,

Jcm, I didn't spin anyone out? Narrowly avoided having a big crash with Ferg, he came in late and I wasn't expecting it, but apart from that I had some good races with people. And it said on my screen you had dc'd Brett so that was strange, that's why I thought I dc'd, never mind, wasn't looking at big points so didn't lose too much. Was good fun though, great race with SM, even though I only kept up because you were saving fuel

My last fastest lap was a 1.30.268 I think.
My one this week was 1.16.776, I just nipped it from JCM by 0.005 of a second
Race report:
I was fairly confident in quali however the AI were turned on again for this week. So of course on my 3rd flying lap Algesuari came out the pits right in front of me, and I had no where to go apart from into his gearbox. Giving me a 10 place grid spot penalty.
So I started back in 17 and at the start I managed to overtake all the AI and a few humans, but at the 5th corner in there was some contact and I was spun out. I was back in 17th again and hunted after the AI.
I caught algesuari and he was ridiculously slow (his fastest lap was 9 seconds off mine) and he completely caught me out, I went up the back of him under braking and lost my front wing. So I came into the pits and came out...last.
From then on I think I got spun out a further 2 times but humans and got pushed off the track numerous times by Buemi.
I did manage to get fastest lap, which made it all the more frustrating because I had the pace to be on the podium, but I couldn't use it.
So far this season I've only had one good race, and that was when the AI were turned off.......hmmmmmmmm

Well then guys the AI has been 🤬 gunning for me since qualifying, had hard time setting a good time b/c I keep getting thrown of the track by Alguersuari and Trulli so I pitted twice but manage to get 3rd poor Falcon his time ruined my AI along with a 10 spot penalty.
The race was overall good, I was scared on the 1st turn but pulled away with 3rs, then I just bitted my time till the straight on lap 3 or 4 to pass Artmann and from there we battled for 2nd until he pitted on lap 6 and then me a lap later while jcm was just gone, no chance to catch him. I come on track in 7th place with Sanman ahead and Artmann on my tail we closed the gap until we hit those messed up curves in S3 where Sandman went wide and I passed him, then I got knocked into the grass but no spinout and I got through ok but I saw Sandman and Artmann in the sand, so I increased my lead from 4s to 7s from Artmann and It hold there constantly with Falcon passing us when we pit but passed him back when he pitted, but then it came to last few laps on lap 29 by 5 sec lead on Artmann was terminated by Trulli who 🤬 refused to pull off the racing line and stuck to me like glue and I couldn't get off him allowing Artmann and Falcon to close the gap from 2s to on my tail and by lap 31 on those god awful last turns of the track us 3 were bunched up with Kovalinen holding up the line then passed but then right b4 the start/finish straight Glock hold us up and eventually Artmann passed him and I followed but Glock blocked me and destroyed my 🤬 front wing and the stewards had the 🤬 nerve to give me a 20 sec penalty I was 🤬 
and if this was real life jump out of my car and beat Glock senseless but then we hit lap 32 and Brett was behind me by 34s so I thought I can get 4th I just hope Brett doesn't lower the gap to 20s and in the end on last 2 laps with damaged front wing I get 4th.
The race was good till the end, I might dedicate my race @ Monaco to destroying Glock's car, forget the penalties , I want my 🤬 revenge even if it means killing myself to kill Glock and hopefully his house and all his belongings but for now I will crawl into a corner cry, scream, and then create a revenge plot

Qualifying was going good until I came up to Buemi and tried to overtake him and hit him and got 10 place grid penalty for my trouble, while Algesauri who ran into me got no penalty for ruining my first lap...
Something doesn't add up!
The start was reasonable and managed to stay out of trouble and got up to 8th behind Spurggy, He made a mistake out of the final chicane and I tried the switch back and I thought I had overtaken him so took the inside line, only to my horror seeing him around the outside and spinning me around into the gravel losing me the chance of winning...
Made the primes last 12 laps and then decided to do a option stint instead of the prime and I was quick although decided to be patient while passing Brett as I would be thrown out if I wasn't.
Took two laps to pass him cleanly but still in it while catching Artmann and Indy, Made another pitstop on lap 23 and decided to go all in with the Option in the attempt to take the best result I could, I was slowly catching Artmann while Indy pitted with 4 laps to go then we all came up to Glock at the final corner while Artman just got through Indy ran into him and I just managed to avoid losing my nose, then Artman overshot the first corner and then I was second with little grip remaining so was able to just hold on to it throughout the last two laps. A great result tonight.
Pagey I believe got the fastest lap.
Decent result tonight considering my qualifying calamity

at Indy's report. I honestly believe you guys jus expect to breeze past the AI, they are there to hold the leaders up. My most miserable race of them all was without AI. 12 F1 cars all driving round at their own pace ...alone = Boring! My quali time was 2 seconds off what it was in practice because of the AI but I am not complaining, they cant help being stupid....humans can
Thanks Falcon, I thought jcm got fastest in that race.

Thanks Berty for allowing me to race tonight. I think i will be joining but it would help if we knew which drivers are using Traction control, race report below
______________
Very good race overall but lack of practice and confidence made my race difficult. In qualifying i had the pace for a top 5 position but just couldn't string all 3 sectors together. I matched JCM's time in Sector 1 but had to abandon that particular lap as there was too much traffic plus the AI were a menace throughout the session, slowing down on the racing line and just an annoyance. Managed to qualify a lowly 11th in the end, miles off the pace but hoped i could secure a top 5 finish in race..but it wasnt to be
Race; Got a great start off the line, i overtook the Ferrari and another car but backed out immediately before Turn one to avoid any kind of incident. I came though the first lap clean, there were one or two people who were a bit too aggressive which meant i had to back out of 'racing' to avoid any accident but it is what it is. Was going well until lap 5 where i got a drive through for cutting the final chicane (silly if you ask me). Slipped back to around 14th after serving penalty and first pit stop but fought my way back up to finish 9th and in the points.
Overall, an eventful race. Had a decent duel with pagey but other then that i was struggling to match the guys ahead. Maybe could have finished higher without the penalty but don't think i could keep up with the guys who were using Traction control anyway.

I don't expect to breeze past them, but I also didn't expect they would pull straight out the pits right in front of me, nor did I expect one would ram me off 3 times even though he was being lapped. I didn't expect they would be so slow, 9 seconds behind the pace of the race leaders is shocking and it is just asking for accidents.
And to be honest I would rather have a boring race with 12 cars driving at their pace rather than a race with 5 or so more cars that are ruining several peoples races and qualifying sessions and just causing waaaaayyyyyyyyyyy more problems than their worth.
Monaco with AI is just going to be down right suicidal.
