Are the pitstop success penalties adding anything to the series? Should they be removed?

It is with great pleasure that i announce the Lobo Racing Team #14 entry has had its livery changed for the rest of the season, to show support for the Principality of Sealand in its fight for international recognition. Sealand, located in the English channel, and for which I'm set to become a Lord later this year, is an independent sovereign state founded in 1967 that features a beautiful red, white and black flag that served as the inspiration for this design. It also possesses its own governement, currency, constitution, coat or arms, national football team, and fulfills all the requirements of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on the sovereignty of states.

Wow that's different 👍

You could have become a Lord in my house for $20 (title not recognised outside of my house) We don't have a flag though!

Make a flag and I'll consider it!
But for real, its actually really interesting: the Montevideo convention requires only the following clauses for something to be a country:
1 - permanet population; which they have, 2 people atm
2 - governement; which they have
3 - well defined territory; which they have - and here's the catch: contrary to your house, when it was created, Sealand was in international waters, so noone had any juristiction over it. They are now in British waters but their claim does have the point that they were iniatially in no country's territory. Plus, the law that states that man made islands do not count for territory was only put into effect 13 years after Sealand was created, so the same point applies.
4 - capacity to enter relations with other countries; which they also had, when a german guy tried to take over the platform, was arrested on it and convicted to life in prision, and the german governement had to send an ambassador to Rough's Tower to negociate, since it was still international waters at the time. Thus, according to Sealand, they've also passed this criteria.
5 - that the sovereigty was not gained by force; which it wasnt.

So, in theory, they have a legit claim, although it means nothing in practice. Plus, according to some International Law writers, the convention does not state other countries need to recognize it as a country for it to be one, it only needs to meet the criteria and therefore, Sealand could, theoretically, be an actual country despite not being viewed as such by all the other countries in the world.

This is so tempting.
 
New Raptor Race Engineering car breaks covers in first public test session.

The team will contest the remainder of the 2020 Sprint Cup Asia series with a fresh Lancer Evolution GT3 built in-house and completed late last week. Speaking with driver and team principle, it was revealed that with the revised BoP figures announced last month, the team old Lancer was unable to meet the new requirements. "We've been campaigning the Lancer across a number of seasons and over that time the car has had more than its fair share of accident damage. We were already building a new car for the 2021 season, however when the new BoP requirements were announced we found that we were unable to meet certain parts of the new criteria due to repair work that had been done to fix battle damage. So we were left with no choice but to ramp up the build on the new car."

Early signs from the teams only test session open to the public seem to indicate that the car will be quick right out of the box, with no issues reported during the day and lap times significantly quicker than the old car.

For anyone that wants to do a replay, i suggest the following moments, from what i saw during the race:

- Front of the field during laps 1 and 2, quite a chaotic start to the race if im honest.
- Spiner-kopin overtakes me at the hairpin (turn 3, not counting the s's) on lap 4, for 2nd place
- I make a mistake on turn 4 (not counting the s's) of lap 7: an intense 3 car battle for 2nd ensues for half a lap
- Very exciting lap 12 and the beggining of lap 13, with a great fight for 2nd that ends with Sheltie's unfortunate mistake.
- Battle for 5th during the last lap..

Thanks for the heads up, will look to include as much of that as possible for the coverage.
 
Thank you for hosting tonight's event Paul. Good fun as always.

A few observations I noted from my position on the mid-field of the silver cup.

1) The Atenza has been killed by another 1% added to the weight. So now I'm even slower in the straights (an Atenza weakness anyway!), worse under braking and in the corners.

2) Raptor's Evo looks to be a bit more of a handful after about 3 laps. BOP changes have really hampered this car's drivability.

3) The RC-F is a bit of a sod in the slower speed corners and now seems to eat the tyres up much quicker. Again, the BOP has really upset this car.

4) It looks like the NSX has been gained decent performance through the BOP changes. Looks more settled in turns and is much faster.



I was looking forward to a good season-long battle with TotalRose and the Beetle having both taken a win and a 2nd place each until Round 3. I don't think that'll happen now.

Front tire wear just absolutely killed the Lexus tonight depsite promising early running.

Same here with the Jaguar. After 3-4 laps, my front tires were dead (BB -2).

Congratulations to everyone :) :gtpflag:.
I had a from-start-to-finish race with @Invisigoth ( :cheers:) at the back. I was only 10-15 seconds ahead of him, so 1 mistake and he overtakes me + he was faster, even with older tires.
