6:30, may be having dinner then. I'm really sorry, every time i'm about to race in this there is some sort of problem. I'll see what I can do but if I quit mid-race then that is why.

I may have to miss this week. Not because of time. That's fine. Not missing Top Gear. Just got a very busy night. I'll try my best to be there

Pull into the pits and leave the game paused. Then you can just pick up from there. By the way, due to the new starting time and other factors, Blaze and Jamm may not be there. Because of this, if the attendance is below, say 6, then I will postpone the race. Unless I can do what I always do and get my frineds list to come along as bonus drivers.
I can announce now that I will be using a joker wild card at this race since this is a track I love and I really want to win.

thank god your only popsting about that. I thought you were going to say you were busy tonight. Btw guys, after reading a thread in the QnA section, I am going to put the lobby room name as "Hot and Easy Girls" so that loads of people join. I'll just kick people to creat rooms when we need extra places

You can delete me from the series - since apparently X2010 are now allowed I will not return.
It just doesn't make sense to try to run a tyre endurance race when some asshole crashes into me every ****ing lap so that my tyres are half down after 7 laps just because of going sideways with 250 km/h.

Agreed don't know what happened tonight as soon as one person uses an X2010 everyone else is forced to use one if they want to have any chance what so ever. The car as such a performance advantage over every other car in the game including the Formula GT as shown in tonight's race. Tends to be more fun when you have a mixture of different cars on different strategies rather than everyone doing 1 stoppers in X2010's for this type of race series.
Nevertheless great victory xX_F Alonso_Xx you had the speed to keep car on track while conserving your fuel to last full race distance. Unlucky golfer199 you had second place in the bag and were almost 5 laps ahead of me when you ran out of fuel. You deserved the second place as you were much faster than me tonight.
I had a disaster of a first stint as decided to run softs which I burnt out on lap 30 due to spinning out for first few laps but since I still had fuel to run to lap 33 tried to stay out so I wouldn't have to conserve it near the end. Unfortunately X2010 even with all its grip is useless with no rear tires so spent lap constantly spinning and doing a lap time of over two minutes and having to pit early. When came out of pits was over 2 laps down on lead and short on fuel due to early stop so had to conserve it quite heavily to reach the end which put me the 5 laps down on lead. Sorry if I caused xX_F Alonso_Xx or golfer199 to spin during the numerous times they lapped me.
Are we still allowed to use the Formula GT for remaining races?

Madrid was a very good race - thank you for banning the X2010, that definitely would have spoiled the fun again.
The 206 and the FTO were evenly matched, it seemed - it's a shame that I lost traction on my front tyres one or two laps before you, this could have been a battle to the finish line...
Did I hear that right that your tank was empty in the last lap? I still got 60% left... I wouldn't have thought that these two cars could have used up their fuel so differently.
Oh, and not to moan again, but guys: Running into an overlapped car with >300 km/h is not really a good thing to do. It's nice that it didn't hurt you, but it sure didn't help me...

I thought Jamman was a lap ahead of us?
About 2 minutes before the end of the race, I finally got the hang on using the handbreak to turn (both front tyres down to 0). If you or Jamman had been limping I would have been able to catch you, too... but probably not in 180 seconds, more like 1000 seconds. ;-)

Guys, I would really like to have a large scale cruise lobby so that is why I am going to run a cruise lobby at La Sarthe, and random Toscana and Mt Aso tracks tonight, starting in about 30 minutes and running until the night ot give everyone a chance to join. I ope to see you all there. Speed limit will be 62mph/100kph and I will be a police car. Then I will try to recruit another to help out. Please join to make me a happy driver.

Right then, race tomorrow. Be there at 5.30pm BST and the race will start at 6.30pm. I will definately be using a wild card as it should allow me to outright dominate the race since everyone (minus hessi and blaze) have used theirs up 
so I look forwards to beating you.
Since we are entering the final races, it is with regret that I inform you that, for the meanwhile I will not be running a season 2 of this series. I will however be running a rallycross championship (hopefully) and that will be at the same time this series was. I am sorry if you enjoyed this series and would like another season. You are all more than welcome to join my rallycross series. There is a spot on the grid with your name on it. Come september and the release of F1 2011 I will run a one off tyre challenge race at a random circuit where you will be required to use the softest compound available and pitstops are banned outright. After this, I may consider bringing the series back with a new season and strict no car change regulations and removal of wild cards to provide pure tyre endurance racing. I just wonder if people will still be playing this game that far down the line.
