Strategy will be interesting. 1 stop is possible. 👍

Still possible if it rains. 1 stop for wets and then super long rain tyre life takes you to the end.

Not if it rains after a tyre change...

That's a good idea as long as everyone realises you have to click the lounge icon, not the orange thing like you normally would. 👍

[Carbonox]

No wonder my car was so slow at Indy - I had 406HP and pretty much black oil

 

[paulmac2k9]

Sorry about leaving/being late/having to change my transmission after pp checks . Was having a pretty good race just lost it towards the end and didn't have will power to do the last 2 laps by myself.

 

[DaxCobra]

Biffy has won the championship then!

MaulPac should be 12th.

no he shouldn't, AHP has 8 pts but he hasnt added them up lol.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

MaulPac should be 12th.

Right. Thanks.

Decent race for me. I got lucky at the beginning when Dax, Gokartman and Carb(?) all had a coming together. Then I was holding the gap to Biffy at around 8 seconds but pitted a lap too late and lost a second.

I then went too cautiously into the pits which meant that when I came out Biffy was 2.5 seconds behind.

He then closed me down gradually until I ran wide at Indianapolis and overtook me- sorry about the sliding.

I then thought, "I can run a similar pace to Biffy so I'll be able to keep up in draft and maybe challenge for the win"...... then I ran wide out of the Ford chicanes.

Pretty much stayed like that till the end with Dax getting close after I ran wide out of the chicane, but he fell back again. And me maintaining the gap to Biffy at about 5 seconds until the 2nd Ford chicane where I ran wide.....again. Thankfully it was the last lap and I didn't lose much time.

Good result for me. 👍

Fastest Laps:
Biffy: 4'13.3xx (No draft as well )
Me: 4'14.6xx (No draft)
Dax: 4'15.0xx (Not sure )

Rest were about 4'15 too. 👍

EDIT: Dax, AHP does have 8 points.

Paul has 14 now.

And Congrats to Biffy for the win (and title?).

 

[Biffy]

Biffy has won the championship then!

First championship win

 

[DaxCobra]

First championship win

Good job.

Now you are dsq'd from all points for driving backwards at Tsukuba qualifying and ruining my lap.
