There is such thing as a bad winner you know :P Massa is such a nice guy, I feel really sorry for his family, why laugh at others misfortune?
I third that, I've had time to reflect on my stupid jeuvelile comments of earlier and I apologise, guess i just got caught up in the excitement of it all.
If Glock did lift, then shame on him but until we get some replys it's pointless speculating.
Feel really sorry for Massa, without the Ferrari's reliability problems the championship would have been his. Well done to Lewis though, nobody can begrudge he is a fantastic talent
Spent a year watching an F1 season and it is spoiled by a stupid decision from Timo Glock. He should be ashamed of himself, what gives him the right to swing a championship in that way.
He was 15 seconds clear into the last lap, bugger

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for a great race. Especially O'R'T, we gave you guys a good run for the first few hours, however picked up some engine damage later on 
Congratulations to all winners!
Congratulations to all winners!
ok I've done the tests. Hopefully will see you guys in Q1 tomorrow!
Just wanted to wish the lads that get through to Rockingham good luck! I've never driven a manual before so that would be a laugh... Can't imagine my 6th form would be massively happy to give me a day off anyhow.

Oh no! Just got back from a team building trip to find I had an email to be invited through to the testing stage, but I see that the deadline was 12pm today!!
Am I ok to still go through with the psychometric testing or is it too late?

Ok, here's my view on this.
Hamilton cut the final chicane and therefore needed to give the position back to Kimi. He did this however, in a way which let him past, but still gave Lewis a big chance of passing Kimi into the next corner. He should have backed out and tried to pass somewhere else, and then he wouldn't have got the penalty.
Sometimes you just need to think about something before you make a decision. Hamilton obviously thought he was doing the right thing by letting Kimi back through, but then immediately attacked him at the next corner. to be honest I wasn't at all suprised by the decision after the race, I could have seen it coming.

I have driven at Warden Law for 2 years now, and I think I've only had about 2 fully dry days out of 30 ish days of testing/racing! It's a strange place weather wise, so consider yourself very lucky if you get a dry day!
Good luck to everyone, it's a great track!
I think I was in that race! Took my self out lap 1 and then got taken out by some idiot whilst I was letting the leader pass on a straight
I've just had a bloody awful race. Going into T1 i was in the lead and then the guy in p2 came in far too hot and gave me no room causing me to spin which caused a massive pileup! Then later in the race someone left me room to pass on the inside and then decided to shut the door as I was alongside him. Grrr
Woo!!! Just won my first race 
I was on pole position through a good quali time and the race was mine to lose to be honest. It was going well and I had pulled a gap of 6 seconds to 2nd place when turn 1 struck, causing me to go on to the grass. I rejoined in 2nd place about 2 seconds behind the leader and 4 laps later went by him. I'[ve been struggling a bit with consistency and making mistakes but managed to get a really good string of solid laps together!
1.04.6
1.04.7
1.04.6
1.04.4
1.04.6 and so on... So it took a bit if time getting my first win but I eventually got it and I hope to see some of you out there soon

Kevin by any chance?
I remember I think I spun out right in front of you at one point!We need to compile some sort of list for all the forumers with iracing. I'm Ben Grindle and you should recognise me easilly in the pink car
1.03.9! I've only done 19 laps at the combo. Still too early to race though, making a lot of mistakes from pushing like a maniac.
Absolutely loving this so far though, and hard to beleive im less than a second behind the best drivers.

What would you guys say is a respectable lap for the Rookie Solstice at Lime Rock. I've just ran 7 laps not knowing the track at all and managed to get down to a 1.06.2. I imagine you can get below 1.04's?
After 7 laps in the game I absolutely love it, the FF is absolutely sublime and the bumps on the track at Lime rock are amazing!
Now down to a 1.04.6

Now downloading, see you on track guys! I'd better do a bit of reading up on how the game works with the safety rating etc.
If I don't like it well it's hardly a steal at just over £10 for a month :P

Finally coming up to getting my first car and it's looking like it's going to probably be a banger! I'm on a tight budget with karting and everything so I think I may go for an old Rover Mini, i'll take whatever I can get really!
Sam could you count me out of this weekends qualifying/racing I'm actually racing my kart on sunday so wouldn't be able to make the race if I got through.
Hope this doesn't count me out of the whole competition though Good luck all!

Good luck all!Has to be Webber for me, put in some great performances so far this season. I just hope this guy gets a shot at the title before he retires from f1 as he's a hidden gem at Red Bull

Sam, could you tell us a litte bit more about what the psychometric training involves and how many people get through to this stage?
Whey, 12th on the grid
