Dry or wet, I'm willing to bet it's going to be an interesting race.
I guess those who have the damned KERS will use it, might prove useful for drafting in the tunnel (but beware that bump when leaving it, Kimi) and gaining some time on the Casino uphill, even if it has a negative impact on balance. Never thought I'd say that but on this race KERS should pepper (sorry Yann
) things a bit this time.
I might be talking rubbish though.
But the qualify will be awesome!

Reason : can't write
Wouldn't that require a "DB" as well?
@Bean0: sounds good, will look for it as soon as I have internet access at home again.
I've got some ideas on my mind as well, so just to add to the LRF discussion what seems to be another downside for the general public: long races are nice? (talking about 1-1,5 hours)

The brazilian press (actually the brainless part of it, wich has the broadcasting rights) is already saying the only reason Button is ahead is because the team favours him, because Rubens' brakes are worse, because Button is just too lucky, because...
Seriously, things happen here and there but you gotta admit at some point that the other team is simply faster/smarter. If Barrichello's staff couldn't see there was a better strategy given the track conditions and/or he couldn't keep the needed pace, well... it's their fault (considering both cars were perfectly fine, wich they probably were).

Surely I missed something, but...
Why are the rounds 9 and 10 next sunday? Shouldn't be a 3 weeks break?

Crap I'm still without internet access since my timeout on race 1, posting this from work.
Anyway from what I remember I was happy with my qualify time, even though it put on the slower half of the field - and behind that damn German. :P
First laps of the race 1 were tough, trying to defend my position from EliteAti. At some point before the chicane I looked in the mirror and VoiD was behind me, he seemed not close enough so I took the normal line. Then my car was hit. Not sure what happened, still didn't see the replay. If it was my fault, sorry.
That incident put Zeug behind me and well... anyone can pass me, but not him! Started to drive on a much better pace, and was even catching the guys ahead of me (angel_ghost and jwardy, I think). Then I timed out.
Left the room, couldn't be bothered to fight with the router for another disappointment on the second race.

My internet is so crap lately. If I miss the race you already know the reason. 
Thank you Yann... surprised to see myself in fourth to be honest!
By the way it should be after round 6, right? Since we have two rounds each race day. I know, OP's fault... :P

He asked for the UF GTR.
Anyway your best bet is to take a look at setupfield or setupgrid.

It's a long track and a long event, the grid will spread anyway and people will DNF. So with dual class there's a lot more chance you'll be having to deal with traffic every lap, being it for position or not.
This man speaks the truth. Hey we could at least have some dual class again...
Don't you take too long now! Thanks for changing the date.
I'm expecting some crashes this time. And I'm expecting to perform better than last time.
I only raced this combo once, but it's a nice one. Here's my race info if you're lost with laptimes: http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/event/866/results
Please note that on that league FXOs used weight ballast instead of intake restriction, I think actual times will be consistently lower.
Blackwood puts less stress on the tyres (almost like AS3) so, the way I see it, FXOs will dominate again with RB4s and XRTs fighting for what's left (exceptions made for aliens).

Reason : wrong info
As posted in our forum:
"Pretty poor performance this time.
Practiced more than I usually do, had a setup I was completely comfortable with... And then I was only 12th with a time .3 faster than my pb. "What am I doing here", thought with myself.
First race was bad... Had two big slides wich caused my rear right tyre to overheat. My setup was kinda oversteery to save front tyres, so I couldn't cool it down untill it was already too late. Had a nice fight with Jack McIntyre and still finished 7th, for my own surprise.
So at second race I started 2nd. Passed Yann because he was in a FXO, then McIntyre passed me. Santos were putting some pressure and it worked, lost a braking point looking at the mirror and went waaaaaay down the field. Was gaining some ground when I hit a tyre that had just appeared on the chicane: major spin. Recovered a few positions back and was catching EliteAti, but he touched a tyre on the chicane who got perfectly placed in front of me: near major spin, some seconds lost. Still passed EliteAti in the end but finished in an embarassing 12th position.
Next round please, nothing to see here."

MX-3's used to be common around here 10-15 years ago, when imported cars were cheap. You can still see a few of them ocasionally, and if they last in our roads, they sure are well built.
We only got the 1,6 litre engine, and from what I heard they're good (read: ok performance with nice fuel consumption - for that time anyway). I find it pretty nice, although it has little space inside and the interior is horrible.

At least now we now he's good at something.
Try cutting the nails next time!
Let's remove all drivers then!
On a more serious note, I should try to rewrite that part in a different way to see if it helps. We'll see.
Yeah I use Opera myself and have been battling with that broken table since forever. Can't really find a way to fix it, and since I didn't see any problem with other browsers, it will stay that way for now.
Thanks for pointing it out though.
I will, but blackbird04217 clearly won't.
Awesome, too bad I can't watch it.
Cool.
Mine goes like this: soul-za. Add a quick D (like d'soul-za) and there you go!
(the D is not really necessary to be honest, whatever suits you best)
