21:10	AltF5K	Simpson gets the jump on Klien, but the Austrian just holds onto the lead
21:10	AltF5K	Lloyd has passed McLaughlin for 3rd as we head onto the back straight for the first of 27 times

21:11	AltF5K	Rhys Davies in the AGI All Stars car is up to 6th, and is sizing up the reigning Supercars champion now
21:12	AltF5K	Having started in a fine 14th position, Renee Gracie has fallen to 16th after lap 1
21:12		*** Pinkd56 joined #F1Rejects
21:12	AltF5K	And now has a train of cars forming behind her
21:13		*** Pinkd56 quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:13	AltF5K	Davies shows he has lost none of his racecraft, taking 5th from McLaughlin
21:14	AltF5K	Up front and Klien's built himself a small gap over Simpson
21:14	AltF5K	Who in turn is starting to gap Lloyd, Evans and Davies behind
21:14	AltF5K	Evans has a look at Lloyd into the hairpin
21:14	AltF5K	And gets the move done with ease
21:15	Miguel98	oh,q uestion

21:16	Miguel98	KIlling Harvick.
21:16	AltF5K	The pit window opens in a few laps
21:16	Biscione	AltF5K has Robertson stopped being useless yet?
21:16	Biscione
21:16	AltF5K	We believe the Simpson crew are already looking at a potential undercut
21:16	AltF5K	Robertson's had a quiet afternoon so far, running around in 8th place
21:17	Miguel98	http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/18881628
21:17	Miguel98	"a little"
21:17	Salamander	so yeah 3 of the 4 shr cars ate shit on lap 1
21:17	Salamander	meanwhile outlaw is chilling in 10th
21:17	AltF5K	Someone who's not having a quiet weekend however is Rhys Davies
21:17	AltF5K	As he takes another spot, this time from Lloyd
21:18	RealRacingRoots	do people actually have expectations for mclaren honda?
21:18	Salamander	so yeah

21:18	RealRacingRoots	let it go fuckers
21:18		*** mib_l91t62 joined #F1Rejects
21:18	Miguel98	you can always expect that Alonso's career doesn't die in the midfield
21:18	Miguel98	or stopped besides the track :L
21:18		*** mib_l91t62 is now known as RobDylan
21:18	RealRacingRoots	https://twitter.com/RealRacingRoots/status/839422980966895616
21:18	RobDylan	are you guys still up?
21:18	AltF5K	In the midfield, Foster-Thompson gives Heimgartner a cheeky bump-n-run
21:19	AltF5K	And takes 12th place from the Kiwi
21:19	Salamander	is very true RRR
21:19	RealRacingRoots	Especially the fact that the Islanders used to be *the* franchise
21:19	AltF5K	The leaders are now on lap 6 of 27
21:19	RealRacingRoots	and are now garbage
21:19	AltF5K	And the pit window is now open
21:19	RealRacingRoots	it's almost like
21:19	RealRacingRoots	I know what the fuck I'm talking about
21:20	AltF5K	Davies is flying at the moment, taking 3rd from Evans
21:20	Salamander	they were garbage for aeons
21:20	AltF5K	As Holdsworth steals 9th from the sister Triple 8 car of Premat
21:20	Salamander	but theyve stopped being completely hopeless the last 2-3 years
21:20	RealRacingRoots	they show hope
21:20	AltF5K	And Simpson is the first to stop!
21:21	RealRacingRoots	and then ownership wants them to leave the barclays center
21:21	RealRacingRoots	and move to hartford
21:21	AltF5K	It's a smooth stop, but he's now buried in traffic in 13th
21:21	AltF5K	He does have fresh tyres to work with, so we'll watch how much progress he makes
21:21	Salamander	so everyone pits under yellow
21:22	Salamander	guess who is now in 3rd palce
21:22	Salamander	*place
21:22	AltF5K	Paul Gentilozzi's boy MacDowell?
21:22	Salamander	yep
21:23	Miguel98
21:24	Miguel98	So, Tost has said Toro Rosso rel is their weak point
21:24	Miguel98	so, no carrying Carlos to the promised land?
21:24	Miguel98
21:24	AltF5K	We have more cars coming in now
21:24	Salamander	on the other hand
21:24	Salamander	kvyat will be put in his place
21:24	AltF5K	Pye, Holdsworth and Rogers pit from 6th, 8th and 10th
21:24	Miguel98	y u bully Daniil
21:24	Salamander	because fuck him
21:24	AltF5K	As does Aaron Watson from PNokers
21:25	Salamander	no sympy
21:25	Salamander	he should try not driving like a retard for once
21:25	AltF5K	And here we go
21:25	RealRacingRoots	no
21:25	RobDylan	yeah by the end of last year most of my Kvyat sympathy had run dry
21:25	AltF5K	Davies has taken a whole second out of Klien that lap!
21:25	AltF5K	The gap's down to 2.5 seconds
21:25	RealRacingRoots	it's just the Reno powr sucks
21:26	AltF5K	Simpson meanwhile has caught Heimgartner for what is currently 9th
21:26	AltF5K	But is struggling to get the move done on the Nesia car
21:27	AltF5K	Prodrive have reacted to Davies!
21:27	AltF5K	They pit Klien from the lead
21:28	AltF5K	Simpson's finally cleared Heimgartner in the meantime
21:28	AltF5K	But has come out miles behind Klien
21:28	AltF5K	Who has rejoined in P6
21:29	AltF5K	Weiron Tan meanwhile's had an off at the Senna chicane
21:29	AltF5K	Dropping him from 13th to 18th
21:29	AltF5K	Robertson pits from P5
21:30	Salamander	oh wait no
21:30	Salamander	dillon isnt out
21:31	AltF5K	And Davies is in from the lead
21:31	AltF5K	He has 15 seconds on Klien
21:31	AltF5K	But, interestingly, he has 23 on Simpson
21:31	AltF5K	Which is about the length of a good pitstop
21:31	AltF5K	And he rejoins in 5th behind Klien
21:32	Salamander	and mcdowell got eaten alive on the restart it looks like
21:32	AltF5K	As Simpson continues to be stuck in traffic
21:32	AltF5K	This time falling victim to Benji Foster-Thompson
21:32		*** RealRacingRoots quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:33	AltF5K	This leaves Evans in the lead from Lloyd and McLaughlin
21:33	Miguel98	Go Jordan.
21:33	AltF5K	The gap Klien to Davies is less than three seconds
21:33	Miguel98	For the real BRM. *
21:34	AltF5K	And the Prodrive car is currently stuck behind McLaughlin
21:34	AltF5K	Klien makes the move stick down the back straight for 3rd
21:35	AltF5K	And McLaughlin pits
21:35	Salamander	HAHAHAHAHA
21:35	Salamander	2nd yellow
21:35	Salamander	everyone pits again
21:35	Salamander	MCDOWELL LEADS
21:35	Salamander	WHAT
21:36	AltF5K	Gentilozzi was onto something sacking that scrublord RHR for him
21:36	Salamander	nah its that leavine pitcrew
21:36	AltF5K	Klien and Davies are going blow for blow on the timesheets
21:36	Salamander	they must be on roids because daamn
21:36	AltF5K	As the Austrian takes 2nd from Lloyd
21:36	Salamander	he picked up 11 places in that pitstop
21:37	Salamander	wait...
21:37	AltF5K	Premat pits from 5th
21:37	Salamander	hes pitting again for some reason
21:38	AltF5K	And there ends the ballard of Mikey Macdowell
21:38	AltF5K	Who flow oh so close to the sun
21:38	AltF5K	Before being banished back to the lower-midfield whence he came
21:38	AltF5K	Never to be heard from again
21:38	AltF5K	Davies now passes Lloyd
21:38	Salamander	he'll always have that 2nd place finish at kentucky to chase elliott
21:38	AltF5K	But the gap to Klien has ballooned for 3.7 seconds
21:39	Salamander	sofas united now leads - albeit with brendan gaughan at the wheel
21:39	Salamander	because i'm a gaughan mark at heart
21:39	AltF5K
21:39	Miguel98
21:39	AltF5K	We have a fight for the lead now
21:40	AltF5K	Between Evans who is yet to make his mandatory stop, and Klien who has
21:40	AltF5K	Klien won't want to hang around behind the Triple 8 car for too long
21:40	AltF5K	Otherwise he'd have Davies all over him
21:40	AltF5K	Lloyd meanwhile pits from 4th
21:41	Salamander	don't worry about mcdowell though
21:41	AltF5K	And here we go
21:41	Salamander	we got michael annett running 19th now
21:41	Salamander	for some reason
21:41	AltF5K	The top 3 are nose to tail around the back end of the circuit!
21:41	AltF5K	Davies and Klien are side by side!
21:41	AltF5K	But Klien is the bravest on the brakes
21:41	AltF5K	And takes the lead from Evans!
21:42	AltF5K	Evans bails out and pits
21:42	AltF5K	Kayra Clifton's afternoon meanwhile has come to an early end
21:42	AltF5K	Thanks to a transmission failure in her car
21:43	AltF5K	With the order largely cleansed, it is Klien leading from Davies, Simpson, McLaughlin and Evans
21:44	AltF5K	Lloyd, Robertson, Pye, Holdsworth and Premat round out the top 10
21:44	Miguel98	Has Scott pitted?
21:44	AltF5K	At this stage, everyone except John Muirhead in 13th has pitted
21:45	Miguel98	King of the Rain
21:45	Miguel98	Muirhead
21:45	AltF5K	It's on for the lead!
21:45	AltF5K	Davies divebombs Klien at the hairpin
21:45	AltF5K	And goes to the front!
21:45	AltF5K	And now we have a fight for third place between McLaughlin and Simpson
21:46	AltF5K	The Kiwi wants to put one-up on our current championship leader
21:46	AltF5K	But he can't hang around too long, because he has Evans bearing down on them like a freight train
21:46	Salamander	aaaaaaand annett eats shit
21:46	AltF5K	And we have a thrilling fight for P1
21:46	AltF5K	P20 and 21 rather
21:46	AltF5K	Between usual protagonists Aaron Watson and Adelaide Voeckler
21:47	AltF5K	With Renee Gracie a few seconds ahead
21:47	Salamander	top running scrub team is now james buescher for tommy baldwin in 17th
21:47	AltF5K	Simpson runs out of road at the hairpin, and drops to 4th behind Scotty Mac
21:47	Salamander	https://twitter.com/Britpoint1/status/840147377663102982 < codemasters dev
21:47	AltF5K	Evans is now with him as well
21:48	AltF5K	And it's not inconceivable for Jordan Lloyd to join this scrap before the end as well
21:48	AltF5K	Seamus Belcher meanwhile has come to a halt
21:48	Miguel98	Oh, jesus fuck.
21:48	AltF5K	Due to a rare Holden engine failure
21:48	Miguel98	Luke bringing the paint o McLaren.
21:48	Miguel98	*pain to
21:49	Miguel98	Go Jordan
21:49	Miguel98	I believe.
21:49	AltF5K	Simpson drops another spot to 5th
21:49	Miguel98	For the real BRM. :
21:49	Miguel98
21:49	AltF5K	And now has Lloyd to contend with
21:49	AltF5K	Heimgartner meanwhile moves up a position to P11
21:49	AltF5K	At the expense of Lee Rogers
21:50	Miguel98	Lee
21:50	AltF5K	Shae Davies decides to be a cheeky cunt
21:50	AltF5K	And unlap himself from leader Rhys
21:50	AltF5K	And now sets off chase after Watson for 17th
21:51	AltF5K	Lloyd meanwhile moves into 5th
21:51	Salamander	yellow #3
21:51	Salamander	guess whose pitcrew magicked him back into the top 10
21:51	Miguel98	Jordan
21:51	AltF5K	Gentilozzi's boy?
21:51	Miguel98	is this liek KitKat's F2 crew in 2018
21:51	Miguel98	where they were 2 seconds faster than everyone'
21:51	Miguel98	and I couldn't figure out why
21:51	Salamander	ya i dont know how the fuck this keeps happening
21:52	Salamander	im checking his pitstops
21:52	AltF5K	We have just four laps to go
21:52	AltF5K	But the fight for 3rd is far from over
21:52	Salamander	oh
21:52	AltF5K	As Evans and Lloyd are slowly but surely closing on McLaughlin
21:52	Salamander	first stop he didnt even stop
21:53	Miguel98	C'mon Jordan.
21:53	Salamander	just paused in his box and then kept going
21:53	Salamander	mightve taken on a splash of fuel
21:53	Miguel98	so, his making that alternate strategy work?
21:53	Miguel98	for shits and giggles?
21:53	Miguel98	best kind of strategy.
21:53	Salamander	fuel only on the second stop where he took the lead
21:53	AltF5K	Premat meanwhile is making progress after an average afternoon
21:54	AltF5K	Moving up to 8th ahead of Scotty Pye
21:54	Salamander	he kept topping off under that second yellow as well
21:54	AltF5K	Evans is now right on the gearbox of McLaughlin
21:55	Salamander	yeah and he did the same thing as pitstop #1 on that 3rd yellow
21:55	AltF5K	And it's on for young and old now
21:55	Salamander	everyone else is taking tyres
21:55		*** Biscione quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:55	AltF5K	These two are trying to lap Aaron Watson
21:55	Salamander	typical nr2003 "strategy"
21:55	Salamander	while leavine is going into full-on strategery
21:55	AltF5K	While Lloyd clears the lapped car of Adelaide Voeckler
21:56	AltF5K	2 to go for the leaders
21:56	AltF5K	McLaughlin is still holding on against Evans
21:56	AltF5K	Which is allowing Lloyd to get ever closer
21:58	AltF5K	And finally Evans gets the move done for 3rd place
21:58	AltF5K	As leader Rhys Davies starts the final lap
21:58	AltF5K	He's put on a clinical display today, showing why he is a former F1 and ARWS champion
21:59	AltF5K	And Rhys Davies crosses the line to win race 1 in Adelaide!
22:00	Salamander	yeah this is way too many yellows
22:00	Salamander	i gotta fix pocono
22:00	Salamander	i aint racing with this shit
22:00	AltF5K	Christian Klien will come home in 2nd place, with Mitch Evans completing the podium
22:01	AltF5K	Scott McLaughlin, Jordan Lloyd, Dave Simpson, Michael Robertson, Alex Premat, Scott Pye and Lee Holdsworth round out the top 10
22:01	AltF5K	Davies will also walk away with the point on offer for fastest lap
