Im up for a 3rd season, will be fun :) and im agreed about hitting the wall, some people were gaining 1-2 seconds on worn tyres by doing it, it doesnt seem to be fair, plus you would never be able to do it in a real car. And hope you do stay Pagey, youre fun to race with, do you use a steering wheel? If you do you should try a controller, it will probably be a lot less strenuous, thats why I use it, im lazy :D well done though, you did really well considering all that :) and congrats to mustard. Was the closest race for a while wasnt it?

I will see how the next race goes i guess
Yeah it was, 20 seconds covered the top 4
 
Nice race reports,

Ill sign you up flood 👍

I can randomise the teams for S3, as long as you guys can trust me ill get the wife to take some names out of a hat or something.

Etid- The stewards will deal appropriatley with us I am sure :D

Pagey- Hope you get it sorted mate, wouldnt be the same without you :(

Results in OP, rankings, profiles updated. Stewards and fastest laps pending.
 
Don't randomise the teams! Me and Ellis can't get a divorce, we don't have the money!
 
Race report:
Congrats to mustard, and i apologize for any knocks i gave you, i will explain why.
I was very happy with pole, on the start i got round the first corner cleanly. But it seemed like i was driving in slow motion for a few corners.
The first part of my stint was going well, i would pull out a gap over mustard, but he would catch up on the straight in my draft. So i knew i had the pace to win. But my pace came at a price, my tyres went off very quickly. Then lap 7 i think a heart condition had come back to haunt me, i was feeling really light headed and had a massive headache, feeling cold etc i got the first corner wrong and took out mustard. I waited for him to join the track and overtake me. Because of my tyres towards the end of the stint mustard closed the gap, and then i span a few laps before i pitted.
I pitted on the same lap as mustard, we came out and i closed about 2-3 seconds on fresh tyres, but again they went off really quickly. I only managed to get 10 laps from them. So mustard had pulled away a little.
I pitted a lap before him and came out, and took some time out again, but yet again my tyres went off. I pitted 10 laps later and put on mediums.
I should have retired at this point, i really wasnt feeling well. But i overtook mustard in the pits and carried on. I was all over the place, the mediums didnt help. I took out mustard at some point, it really wasnt intentional, i should have retired really but hey ho. I pegged the gap at 6 seconds for a few laps but i span twice and mustard came through to win.

I had the pace for the win but bad tyre wear and the health problems cost me :(
I may have to retire from the championship :( i really dont want to but it isnt good for me (that sounds quite pathetic, racing on the ps3 isnt good for my health) and it isnt fair on people i might take out, sorry mustard!
If it happens again that is

Well we dont want to be killing you now....would hate to see you stop posting (indication of death :sly:). Take it easy there. What heart condition do you have? Is your heart muscle inflamed, or do you have ischemia?
 
Dont go Pagey, we cant go on without you :(

BTW there has been bookoo movement in the drivers table 👍

ETID/Ellis -I think I can let the two lovers stay together, ill ask people who they want to team up with then randomise the ones who say they dont care.

PB- You can see me getting rogered on your replay with a broken motor :( Also noticed that your gearing was set too low and you seemed to get knocked about a bit at the first corner.

My report

Qualified reasonably well (Iam not fast round here).
I started ok and held back on the first corner, unfortunatley someone else didnt and I got engine damage from the off this cost me 2 places. To add to that the screen was waving around all over the place for the 1st 10 laps so I lost 2 more. After that it cleared up nicely so I got on with things. I had 2 small battles with Smithaz but got ahead ok, pitted twice beause of the rubbish start (I was planning 3).
Towards the end I was lining up Spurgey for a last minute draft but I ran into an inverted Sauber in the tunnel and 4th was my destiny. Happy with the finish.
I am glad almost all of the drivers enjoyed the race and it seemed very clean from my point of view so roll on Monaco.
Congrats to mustard, pagey and spurgey.
Peace.

Well, wouldnt choosing who you wanted to be with defeat the object of random teams? Like if you wanted to team up with Pagey D: (with the exception of ETID and Ellis)
 
I'll do my report tomorrow guys. My 300 thread count, feather soft, royal luxury duvet and four 300 thread count pillows is calling me.

Bed: "Ferg, get on me and lay down, wrap yourself in my luxurious quilt"

Me: "It's ok dear, I'm coming!"
 
Ellis- What have I done? Dont see it.

Spurgey- Yes probably but you would have to name 2 people and I would try and make it fair. If you dont care then its cool to be randomised. You need to buy another FGT for S3 too mate, so I got options.

Me: "It's ok dear, I'm coming!" No I like the smell and taste
You mean this Ferg? :D
 
Ellis- Ill tally up the scores later to check them, remember penalties and stuff. Ill check it np.
Oh and ref.ferg......:lol:

Spurgey- I could just pair up 1st with 16th, 2nd with 15th and so on.
 
Yeh, that sounds like a good idea, the teams should be quite even then, and Ill just buy every FGT that comes up, cant be too expensive :P
 
Yea, that was the reason we couldnt do random. It will have to be 3 choices each and ill match you up with the cars, remember your current car will be knackered at the end of the season.
