Quote from BlueFlame :

Well eitherway Chilton is quite blatently shit. Worse (pace-wise) than Maldonado.

Actually I rate Maldonado quite highly - GP2 Champion and Barcelona winner. But Chilton for me has always been a bit of a "joke" amongst UK racers - everyone knows he has a very wealthy family and has worked his way up pretty regardless of his results. He, in my mind, is now along the same lines as Gonzales who has just been "recruited" by Marussia despite hardly scoring a single point in 3 years of GP2.

Good to see Bianchi thrashing moneybags-Chilton.

Lol.

I'm pretty sure we'll see another episode of this years 'Hilarious Niki Shenanigans Series' but hey lets wait and see

Feel very sorry for Otto again - one day luck won't drag you down!

For our race, we gambled with setup a little bit and couldn't afford huge damage and we knew that. Nevertheless, we had a very bad first stint with contact with other cars etc which wasn't really avoidable and so we were on the back foot, and a lap down after the first hour. Luckily we managed to play with strategy a little and get the lap back. Sucks we decided to repair damage around the 3h mark, we could have done another stint with it and if we had we could have had a better result - but was good to have a solid position finish after such a difficult race for us + we knew this would be our weakest round really as none of us like South City

Congratulations to SAVAGE for the race win - don't think about the race being cut short you won that race fair and square well done guys! Such a shame Joonas timed out in T1, cost vortex the lead, although it did help you out with engine damage

Can't wait for some more breathing space at Aston so see you all there thanks again to NDR for the event and just crappy luck again with the server.

Session of Incident: Race
MPR Timecode -OR- UTC Time of Incident: 24:25:.54
Lap and Location of Incident: 15, Sector 3
Your Car Number: 02
Other Car(s) Involved: 10
Brief Description of Incident: Maddee goes to the outside entering the braking zone and turns in late leaving plenty of room. #10 outbrakes himself and Maddee has to take evasive action (eventually spinning himself) to avoid contact with 10 who is suddenly 3 car widths away from the apex.


Session of Incident: Race
MPR Timecode -OR- UTC Time of Incident: 48:54:00
Lap and Location of Incident: End of lap 31 start of lap 32.
Your Car Number: 02
Other Car(s) Involved: 10
Brief Description of Incident: 10 again does not leave sufficient room and turns left into Maddee when he is fully alongside, causing a collision that sends Maddee into the wall and causing substantial enough damage to warrant a repair in the pitstop.

02 and 58 are fine.

You clearly don't care Isaac

Quote from Stig209 :

But isn't McLaren and Marussia doing co-operation? And apparently Withmarsh is doing everything he can to keep Kovalainen at F1. So in that wise it's not so clear that Bianchi would become the second driver of Marussia.

They only use aero tunnel and it isn't exactly a massive deal between the two teams, sure but Whitmarsh only has so much influence. At the end of the day, Coswerth have gone into administration and in an engine geared season in 2014 they need a proper supplier - the maths adds up as I explained in my previous post.

Not that I don't want to see Heikki in F1 I just think it's best to take Bianchi for Marrussia.

Well Hamilton's average over his run was 1second slower than webber however Hamilton did a lap nearly 2 seconds faster than Webber's fastest so I guess you're right. Interesting to hear some drivers describe the new pirellis as 'coliflour' basically lasting a lap and then massive graining.

Ben Anderson also said that the RBR looked planted as usual and the McLaren has massive handling issues at the front end as does the Ferrari with its rear. Lotus and Merc looking best over a race sim at the moment tho.

Yeah the Bianchi move seems political, he's Ferrari, Marussia want a new engine supplier for 2014, Ferrari want to supply a 3rd team and Force India look set to sign a 3 year deal with Mercedes (if that hasn't happened already). So if Bianchi lands the drive I'm guessing it will be to keep Ferrari happy. Although apparently Kovalainen has had a seat fitting and will drive on Saturday.

Well sure, he's said he's happy with his pace and Webber is demanding more from is team - which is the opposite of what you would expect but anyway, can't wait for Melbourne!

Bianchi and Kovalainen both in talks with Marussia, and it's speculated since Kartakayans Indycar deal seems to have fallen through he could also be in with a shout of the drive - which would be a massive shame. I would have also suggested Kobayashi would have a shot at this drive if Kovalainen is but he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth apart from the odd GT test.

Webber ends up 1.6s infront of Hamilton in testing, which I know I know it's only testing but surely on a damp track you would expect Hamilton to be a little closer to the front? Lotus looks very quick in race conditions, as does the Ferrari, both opting to do long runs for the majority of the day.

There was some rumour going around Twitter than Kovalainen has a drive for Saturday and that Razia is in some massive financial dispute with Marussia but nothing has been confirmed yet, complete silence from Razia, hasn't even been going to the circuits.

Reggie, Jay-z, 2pac and biggie?

Seriously though we've been here before, watch any good LFS driver go to iR and be up the front, the level of driving in LFS hasn't changed, if anything we are as quick as we've ever been before.

ART to pull out of GP2 and move into WSR fully one imo

Good signing - good luck Vale!

Talent.exe

Hahahahhaa

I think it's great with Jann!

About Formula Ford.. I did some price checks as a while ago I actually had some budget and you can do Renault NEC for cheaper so why bother?

GP3 has a very talented grid this year. With many GP2 and WSR 3.5 "rejects" or basically those without the funding to get there racing its going to be a championship that could go to anyone of 7 drivers, can't wait to see that. GP2 does seem a little weak once again with the line up and WSR 3.5L still seems the best feeder grid. Any lower than Gp3 seems to have died tbh with the exception of Formula Renault NEC.

I've actually got to say, one of the best videos of LFS I have ever seen. The camera shots are just beautiful - and I think LFS really needs this kind of video to show just how professional leagues, racers and teams are in this Sim. Great job again!
