1991 LGPS Brazilian GP commentary

20:07:05: <Valentino_Nicchi> hello :D
20:08:04: <Nuppiz> o hai
20:08:16: <Salamander> hey
20:08:27: <Nuppiz> I guess you've been waiting for me for a while :P
20:08:34: <Valentino_Nicchi> yeah
20:08:36: <Salamander> about an hour
20:08:55: <Nuppiz> yeah, somethng came up...
20:09:07: <Salamander> yeah we kinda guessed
20:10:35: <Nuppiz> grr, damn Mibbit
20:10:57: <Nuppiz> but, anyway, let's get started
20:11:11: <Valentino_Nicchi> i guess you're about to do qualifyinh
20:11:13: <Valentino_Nicchi> *ing
20:11:17: <Nuppiz> Dave Wilson, one of the few regular entrants, starts on pole
20:11:25: <Nuppiz> quali results are posted on the forum
20:11:52: <Nuppiz> Jeice Swan is a mammoth 21 seconds off the pace
20:11:52: <Atax1a> 'allo
20:11:58: <RealRacingRoots> hay
20:11:59: <Valentino_Nicchi> 18th and 20th, not bad
20:12:01: <Nuppiz> almost 22, in fact
20:12:34: <Nuppiz> I've tested this race for a couple of times already, and there's always been at least five stallers
20:12:42: <Rated> Well, 17th out of 34. Not great, not bad
20:13:09: <Nuppiz> the revs are up
20:13:20: <Salamander> gomes and donnelly did pretty well
20:13:33: <Salamander> but how is al smith as high as 24th?
20:13:59: <Salamander> though i guess he was like 5 seconds slower than the pair of them...
20:14:13: <Nuppiz> goodness me
20:14:15: <Valentino_Nicchi> can we have a stream??
20:14:19: <RealRacingRoots> what's the over/under on stallers
20:14:32: <Nuppiz> that was probably the cleanest start in Life GP history
20:14:49: <Nuppiz> no-one lost a wing as far as I can tell
20:14:55: <Salamander> yet
20:14:55: <Rated> woah
20:15:20: <Nuppiz> can't stream F1C, framerate is like 1 per minute
20:15:30: <Nuppiz> three stallers
20:15:34: <Salamander> :(
20:15:50: <Nuppiz> no hang on, five
20:16:00: <Valentino_Nicchi> please not be one of us...
20:16:05: <RealRacingRoots> anyone important?
20:16:23: <Nuppiz> Donnelly, Alianopoulos, Kjellerup, Tenpenny and Modena
20:16:29: <Salamander> dammiy
20:16:29: <Valentino_Nicchi> phew
20:16:31: <Salamander> dammit
20:16:43: <Salamander> at least gomes is still there though
20:17:47: <WarrenHughes> Has it started yet?
20:17:52: <Pi3141> I don't know if I should be happy about the good qualifying or worried, because both my drivers start in the midfield, and that usually means chaos in LifeGP
20:17:52: <Salamander> yeah
20:17:52: <Nuppiz> just
20:17:53: <Rated> Yup
20:17:53: <Salamander> just
20:17:53: <Valentino_Nicchi> yes
20:18:05: <Salamander> theres 5 stallers
20:18:06: <Salamander> Donnelly, Alianopoulos, Kjellerup, Tenpenny and Modena
20:18:07: <Valentino_Nicchi> Kjellerup stalled
20:18:18: <Rated> No worries pi, no first lap crashes apparently
20:18:19: <WarrenHughes> No! Apostolos!
20:18:26: <Salamander> yeah :(
20:18:28: <WarrenHughes> He did so well in quali too
20:18:32: <Nuppiz> Kickert takes the lead!
20:18:34: <Pasta> Apsotolos!
20:18:36: <Pasta> Nooooo!!!
20:18:47: <Pasta> And get in ther kickert :P
20:18:47: <Valentino_Nicchi> what happened to wilson
20:19:28: <Pasta> Still feel a bit of a father figure to Apostolos, given that FGCR nutured his early career AND helped him fund his own patriotic team
20:19:32: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny has got the car moving
20:19:43: <Salamander> yeah same here
20:19:43: <Nuppiz> spearing his way through the field
20:19:50: <Salamander> since i helped him get his first points
20:20:11: <Pasta> Some say that Pieter Kickert can't win unless some Frenchies block the track....we're hoping to prove them wrong
20:20:37: <Salamander> is gomes keeping up with the leaders?
20:21:11: <Nuppiz> Donnelly is moving too
20:21:33: <Salamander> \o/
20:21:36: <Pasta> WarrenHughes, if Apostolos would like to run the NC races at Foster's next year, he's more than welcome
20:23:08: <Nuppiz> Alden has retired
20:23:32: <Valentino_Nicchi> that's a shame, great qualy effort from him
20:23:35: <Pi3141> Where's Mazzacane now?
20:23:58: <Pasta> Hmmn, Alden impressed in qualifying...shame he couldn't finish the race
20:24:01: <Nuppiz> the engine couldn't stand the back straight
20:24:12: <WarrenHughes> Pasta, I expect he'll do the whole season with Racing for Greece, but we'll see
20:24:17: <Nuppiz> Mazzacane 12th
20:24:37: <Valentino_Nicchi> how's nicchi and kun doing?
20:24:47: <Nuppiz> Kun 15th, Nicchi 17th
20:24:59: <Salamander> and gomes?
20:25:01: <Valentino_Nicchi> ooh, great driving from marcus
20:25:01: <Pasta> WarrenHughes, I understand, but the door's always open at FGCR...
20:26:21: <Pasta> Given taht Braggia is going to Eurobrun's team next year, and I could do without running Jan van der Maeyede, that means there's a free FGCR seat next year. Want a go in a promising car? Want to race alongside Pieter Kickert? Want to drive in a race-winning time? In the same car that has hassled the championship leaders all season? Make your case now
20:26:41: <Salamander> hmmmm
20:26:56: <Valentino_Nicchi> hmm...i'm tempted to offer kun
20:27:02: <Nuppiz> Gomes 7th
20:27:05: <Salamander> evelyn gomes would be interested in driving at fgcr
20:27:08: <RealRacingRoots> so we've only had one engine die and some stallers
20:27:39: <Nuppiz> Gearbox failure for Blog
20:28:00: <Pasta> Gomes (he or she?) can cnsider him/herself to have a preliminary offer. Basically, you impress me in this race, your in :P
20:28:13: <Salamander> awesome
20:28:15: <Salamander> and gomes is a she
20:31:51: <Pasta> Anyone interested in running that muppet Jan van der Maeyede?
20:31:57: <Pasta> Comes with a free pot of weed :D
20:32:08: <Atax1a> YES
20:32:09: <Nuppiz> Swan retires
20:32:13: <Salamander> if gomes goes to fgcr
20:32:13: <Nuppiz> handling problems
20:32:17: <Salamander> ill give him a ride
20:32:42: <Pasta> Salamander, sounds liek a deal to me :P
20:32:43: <Atax1a> Modena's out.
20:32:46: <Pasta> *like
20:33:03: <Nuppiz> Holmes has a gearbox problem
20:33:31: <AssodiFiori> Either of my cars still in the race
20:33:32: <Nuppiz> Dumm 6th, Braggia 13th
20:34:30: <Nuppiz> Kickert keeping Wilson at bay
20:34:40: <AssodiFiori> Wow, I thought Braggia would take Dumm to the cleaners and back
20:34:41: <Rated> Can I know where Bell is ? Please
20:34:50: <Nuppiz> 10th
20:34:54: <Rated> thanks
20:35:02: <Pasta> AssodiFiori - weird things are happening in this race :D
20:35:03: <AssodiFiori> Not dissapointed though
20:35:39: <Pasta> FMecha's debutant qualified 6th, in a car JvdM couldn't get out of the bottom 20 in the regular season
20:36:38: <Nuppiz> hmm, I seem to have missed that Donnelly has retired as well
20:36:44: <Nuppiz> gearbox problems, most likely
20:36:57: <Salamander> ah well
20:37:10: <Salamander> he stalled already so its not like he wouldve done much
20:37:22: <AssodiFiori> That is the effect of Marijuana on qualifying performance
20:37:39: <Nuppiz> Bell is off!
20:37:50: <Atax1a> they were in the paddock, doing merry-juana and hero-ween
20:38:02: <RealRacingRoots> only the quality stuff
20:38:05: <AssodiFiori> for the older VdM
20:39:18: <Pasta> Yeah, Martin certainly didn't get his race speed from Jan....but he certainly inherited his ability to flush good results down the pan!
20:39:19: <Nuppiz> spins out at Molykote
20:39:34: <Rated> GRAAAA.
20:39:40: <Nuppiz> Koumettou has stopped too!
20:39:55: <AssodiFiori> Apparently Adelaide has crap quality weed. Or so I was told
20:40:38: <Pasta> AssodiFiori seems legit :D
20:41:00: <Atax1a> Somerset's more a ketamine kind of place...
20:41:39: <Pasta> Atax1a reminds me of someone at school, who's been nicknamed Kaptain Ket...
20:41:50: <Atax1a> lololol
20:42:13: <Nuppiz> Top 10 after 5/30 laps: Kickert, Wilson, Howard, Ramone, Roberts, Dumm, Gomes, Gaera, Capilé, Jericho
20:42:13: <RealRacingRoots> haha
20:42:33: <Salamander> whats the gap from dumm to gomes?
20:42:44: <Nuppiz> 1.1
20:42:54: <Valentino_Nicchi> kun still 15th?
20:43:01: <Nuppiz> 13th
20:43:02: <Salamander> :D
20:43:05: <Nuppiz> Nicchi 15th
20:43:08: <Valentino_Nicchi> excelent
20:43:17: <Valentino_Nicchi> come on marcus...do it for nauru!
20:44:11: <Pasta> Nuppiz.... in need of some more cast-off drivers? But better than the ex-Alitalia garbage?
20:44:38: <Nuppiz> maybe
20:44:44: <Nuppiz> Ramone overtakes Howard for 3rd
20:44:54: <AssodiFiori> Or do you want some RBWRT rejects
20:45:14: <Salamander> or maybe an f3rwrs rejects perchance?
20:45:24: <AssodiFiori> I have screwed up my 5 driver limit
20:45:25: <Pasta> Well, I can offer you Alexis Tantovich, 22 Marcos Marcia, Age undetermined, and Helio Hernandez, 25
20:45:32: <Pasta> Atax1a
20:45:47: <Pasta> Sorry, I meant Eurobrun
20:45:54: <Nuppiz> Braggia out!
20:46:33: <Pasta> Anyway, 'brun, I have problems two
20:46:36: <Pasta> *too
20:47:22: <Atax1a> I have 5 wonderful drivers gracing the RWRS grid next season...
20:47:37: <Atax1a> ...shame the team choices have been questionable for most of them
20:47:42: <Nuppiz> I'm only hiring drivers that have some merits, TYVM
20:47:50: <AssodiFiori> Galf tempted to give Scrattenheim sr a Life drive
20:47:57: <Nuppiz> if I wanted rejects I could fill my teams with my own drivers :P
20:48:03: <Pasta> Nuppiz, given you're past experiences, I'm ntos uprised... :D
20:48:33: <Nuppiz> 23 cars still running
20:48:50: <Valentino_Nicchi> hope t. nicchi does well in rds
20:49:09: <Nuppiz> Kickert still holding the lead
20:49:25: <Pasta> Well, for anyone who wants drivers but doesn't have any, Marcia and Tantovich are the best bets. Tantovich shwed some speed in F1RDS for FGCR and Alitalia, whilst Marcia has been half decent in RoLFS
20:50:33: <Salamander> hmmm
20:50:42: <Salamander> is marcia a pay driver?
20:51:13: <Pasta> Can be if ypu'd like :P Remember, this is for control of his management
20:51:19: <Pasta> *you'd.
20:51:26: <Pasta> Sorry for my typing. /shame
20:51:30: <Salamander> oh well sure then why not
20:51:44: <Nuppiz> March without a front wing
20:51:45: <Salamander> ive got only 2 drivers in rwrs in 2016 atm
20:52:46: <Nuppiz> oh
20:52:49: <Pasta> A deal there Salamander, I owe you. If you're willing to create a driver, Scuderia Vittore have 2 spare seats in RoLFS' sucessor next year.
20:52:57: <Nuppiz> Greenwood spins ahead of him and the two collide
20:53:00: <Valentino_Nicchi> i'm tempted to rename nicchi motori to "US Impieralist Racing" and have a war with the Worker's Party team
20:53:08: <Salamander> XD
20:53:29: <Nuppiz> the Yellow Machine of Bad Luck is out, again
20:53:35: <Salamander> Pasta, im looking to get calvin brooks into rolfs' successor, would you be interested in him?
20:53:57: <AssodiFiori> Really need someone that can qualify well for the 2nd autodynamics
20:54:50: <Nuppiz> Wilson is right behind Kickert, but can't get past
20:55:07: <Pasta> Salamander, Brooks is in at RoF1C
20:55:33: <Pasta> God, this driver amrketing thing is easy :P
20:55:39: <Salamander> Pasta, awesome, thanks :)
20:55:46: <Valentino_Nicchi> is it possible for an rds driver to jump straight to f2?
20:55:53: <Nuppiz> *IFRC
20:56:03: <Nuppiz> International Formula Reject Challenge
20:56:06: <Salamander> it is when i don't really give a crap, lol
20:56:11: <Salamander> Pasta
20:56:33: <Pasta> Plus One Group have strong links with Canada, mainly because for some reason I really like that country...
20:56:59: <Nuppiz> Roberts has overtaken Howard, some problems with the car perhaps for RtR?
20:57:18: <Pasta> Valentino_Nicchi yes, it's possible to jump from F1RDS to any series that isnt F1RWRS. For a driver to go from F1RDS to F2, he/she'd have to be very, very talented.
20:57:34: <Valentino_Nicchi> which terenzio nicchi is :D
20:57:48: <Nuppiz> Gray's car is spewing out smoke
20:58:29: <Atax1a> if he, like, won a shit-ton of races then he might be able to make the jump
20:58:52: <Pi3141> Where's Mazzacane now?
20:58:52: <Pasta> Valentino_Nicchi, Stramala touted Benoit CVoeckler as the next big thign, and then look what happened to him....
20:59:26: <Valentino_Nicchi> wait pasta didn't you hire voeckler for IFRC??
20:59:59: <Pasta> Valentino_Nicchi Yes, I did :P
21:00:07: <Valentino_Nicchi> ....why
21:00:13: <Nuppiz> Mazzacane 11th
21:00:18: <Atax1a> because he's cray
21:00:35: <AssodiFiori> While I say that all my drivers are crap. And I am usually right
21:00:44: <Pi3141> Any news on the 1992 race calendar?
21:01:02: <Pasta> I knew I was forgetting something!!! That confirms a Brooks-Voeckler lineup at SV next year, then.
21:01:22: <Pasta> The Alsotm backing is crucial for our budge
21:01:24: <Pasta> t
21:01:24: <AssodiFiori> LOLPASTA
21:01:37: <Salamander> XD
21:01:48: <Salamander> oh man thats gonna be so awesome
21:02:03: <Atax1a> I'm tempted to rebrand Fusion for F3RWRS next season...
21:02:08: <Pasta> There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.... and it would appear I've crossed it
21:02:16: <AssodiFiori> Could you even get a worse lineup. I don't think it's possible
21:02:36: <Valentino_Nicchi> nicchi has backing from...umm..well i guess since he's the only driver from vatican city right now he could have backing from the roman catholic church or something
21:02:54: <Nuppiz> Gray's engine blows up, Tenpenny and WIlson hit him and lose front wings
21:03:07: <AssodiFiori> Really hoping Scrattenheim Jr is really good
21:03:18: <Pasta> AssodiFiori a worse lineup would be, say, Dieter Hallenstein and say, Scrattenheim Jnr :D (Just joking of course)
21:03:18: <Nuppiz> 1992 calendar draft will be posted tomorrow
21:03:33: <Pasta> Yes! This means Kickert could win this race!
21:03:45: <Salamander> kickert was already leading though
21:03:48: <Valentino_Nicchi> top 10??
21:04:06: <Salamander> also maybe top 6 for gomes??
21:04:06: <Nuppiz> I'll update it after Wilson's pitstops
21:04:12: <Nuppiz> pitstop*
21:04:32: <Pasta> Nuppiz, is Gomez catching on whoever's in front of her?
21:04:40: <Nuppiz> Gomes is 1.5 seconds away from Dumm
21:04:59: <Salamander> so shes keeping up at least
21:05:04: <Nuppiz> has been pretty much the same throughout the race
21:05:17: <AssodiFiori> No Hallenstein and Paasonen are both crap but slightly better than Voeckler
21:05:24: <Pasta> Gomes has a confirmed seat at FGCR (Well, it won't be called FGCR, but hey....)
21:05:42: <Salamander> i like how paasonen is utter rubbish in rwrs
21:05:43: <Salamander> and in tmmc hes ridiculously awesome
21:05:52: <Pasta> AssodiFiori I wouldn't say your drivers are all bad, just not blessed with flattering machinery
21:05:59: <RealRacingRoots> too bad his car is crap in tmmc
21:06:19: <Nuppiz> Wilson rejoins the track in 5th
21:06:25: <Salamander> gah
21:06:29: <Salamander> oh well
21:07:24: <Nuppiz> Lap 11/30: Kickert, Ramone, Roberts, Howard, Wilson, Dumm, Gomes, Gaera, Capile, Jericho
21:07:26: <AssodiFiori> Yea, hopefully he will get a ride for TMMC which gives him a shot at winning Karjala
21:09:50: <AssodiFiori> I think Roderick will get the 2013 TMMC title
21:10:03: <Salamander> i hope he does
21:10:07: <AssodiFiori> inb4 I'm totally wrong
21:10:25: <Nuppiz> Stalic retires
21:10:29: <Salamander> him or kekkonen preferably
21:10:29: <RealRacingRoots> I'm still a little disapointed that Arto threw the title away.
21:10:50: <Salamander> yeah the ais kind of a crapshoot in that part of the track though
21:11:06: <Salamander> i have it myself and it never ends well
21:11:16: <Nuppiz> the Chinese brakes failed
21:11:28: <RealRacingRoots> doesn't NR2003 use AIW?
21:11:41: <Salamander> aiw? whats tha?
21:11:42: <Salamander> t
21:11:53: <RealRacingRoots> aritifical intelligence wavepoints
21:12:02: <RealRacingRoots> it shows what line the ai should take at tracks
21:12:18: <AssodiFiori> Now that Leonard has moved on to team ownership I agree with BCS on who I want to win the title
21:12:41: <Salamander> RealRacingRoots, maybe
21:12:51: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny's engine blows up
21:13:00: <RealRacingRoots> if they do, it can be changed so that it's less stupid there
21:13:23: <Nuppiz> IIRC NR2003, F1C 99-02, rFactor, GT-R and GT-R 2 are based on the same engine
21:13:33: <Nuppiz> so they use similar technology
21:13:55: <RealRacingRoots> rfactor uses aiws, because bob's track builder uses aiw to make it's tracks for rfactor and rbr
21:14:18: <Nuppiz> brb
21:20:11: <AssodiFiori> I honestly feel sorry for Damon Cannon in F1RWRS. I sort of screwed over his career
21:20:38: <Salamander> well to be fair, he didnt have much of a career anyway
21:20:52: <RealRacingRoots> There is a home for him in the GT-R WC.
21:20:55: <RealRacingRoots> probably
21:21:39: <AssodiFiori> O am not sacking him
21:22:04: <Nuppiz> GOMES!
21:22:05: <AssodiFiori> *I
21:22:20: <Pi3141> What?
21:22:47: <Nuppiz> nothing dramatic, but what a shame...
21:23:26: <Nuppiz> the car grinds to a halt
21:23:26: <Pi3141> By the way, how many laps are left?
21:23:35: <Salamander> noooooooooooooo :(
21:23:38: <Nuppiz> 17
21:23:54: <Valentino_Nicchi> how are our cars doing?
21:24:04: <Nuppiz> 13th and 14th
21:24:12: <Salamander> well, at least she did enough to get a race seat for next year
21:24:14: <Valentino_Nicchi> goooooood
21:24:26: <Nuppiz> 12th and 13th once they overtake GOmes
21:24:30: <Nuppiz> Gomes*
21:25:02: <AssodiFiori> Where is Dumm now
21:25:10: <Pi3141> And Mazzacane?
21:25:11: <Nuppiz> still 6th
21:25:22: <Nuppiz> Mazzacane 10th
21:27:13: <Nuppiz> Oh!
21:27:43: <Nuppiz> Wilson collides with Howard, both continue without damage but March hits Howard as well, losing his front wing
21:28:44: <Nuppiz> Mazzacane has a gearbox problem
21:29:26: <Nuppiz> and retires
21:29:33: <Pi3141> Oh no.
21:29:52: <Nuppiz> Courbois is promoted to the top 10
21:30:45: <Nuppiz> and we're halfway through the race
21:31:28: <Nuppiz> Roberts is without a front wing
21:31:30: <Salamander> is al smith still running?
21:31:37: <Salamander> kinda forgot he was in this tbh :p
21:31:45: <Nuppiz> yes, 15th out of 17 cars
21:32:03: <Salamander> hes ahead of someone!?
21:32:08: <Salamander> well, i guess thats something
21:32:25: <Nuppiz> the Workers Party are behind him
21:32:42: <Nuppiz> let's see the replay...
21:33:17: <Pi3141> Of what?
21:33:26: <Nuppiz> oh, there
21:34:02: <Nuppiz> Voeckler, who was lapped by Roberts, pushes Roberts into Nicchi who he was also about to lap
21:34:33: <Valentino_Nicchi> damnit
21:34:43: <Nuppiz> no visible damage to Voeckler or Nicchi
21:34:51: <Nuppiz> Roberts has to pit for a new FW
21:35:27: <AssodiFiori> Braggia still in the race?
21:35:50: <Nuppiz> he retired ages ago
21:36:24: <AssodiFiori> Oh, must have missed that
21:37:11: <Nuppiz> Roberts rejoins the track in 5th, just in front of Dumm
21:40:36: <Nuppiz> meh, this is dull
21:41:10: <RealRacingRoots> not enough action?
21:41:25: <Valentino_Nicchi> after this is over does anyone want to watch a random NC prost gp race?
21:41:36: <Salamander> sure why not
21:41:38: <Valentino_Nicchi> reversed grid :D
21:41:46: <Nuppiz> yeah why not
21:41:50: <Valentino_Nicchi> cool
21:42:01: <Nuppiz> Al Smith retires
21:42:13: <Salamander> welp
21:42:27: <Valentino_Nicchi> how's kun
21:42:52: <Nuppiz> gearbox
21:43:02: <Nuppiz> Kun is 11th
21:43:15: <Valentino_Nicchi> getting better...
21:43:53: <Nuppiz> Roberts having gearbox woes too
21:44:35: <Nuppiz> OH! OH! OH!
21:44:42: <Nuppiz> MASSIVE COLLISION!
21:44:49: <Valentino_Nicchi> oh dear
21:44:53: <Salamander> uh oh
21:44:58: <AssodiFiori> Yea a prost race would be good. Now that Bromberger is actually quite good
21:46:11: <AssodiFiori> BIGU CRASHU
21:47:01: <AssodiFiori> Who?
21:47:06: <Nuppiz> Kun's car stops, and is collected first by Voeckler and then Nicchi
21:47:14: <Valentino_Nicchi> DAMN
21:47:15: <Salamander> oh thats not good
21:47:16: <Valentino_Nicchi> MERDE
21:47:19: <Valentino_Nicchi> SHITE
21:47:38: <Valentino_Nicchi> both teammates hit, we were going so well
21:47:40: <Nuppiz> Kun is out, Voeckler and Nicchi have to replace their nosecones
21:49:33: <Nuppiz> Voeckler rejoins the track in 13th and Nicchi 14th
21:50:10: <Nuppiz> Wilson retires!
21:50:31: <Rated> :o
21:51:24: <Salamander> i think that makes kickert a lock for the win
21:51:24: <Nuppiz> Karimov is out too!
21:51:31: <Salamander> assuming he doesnt throw it away
21:52:01: <Valentino_Nicchi> is kun okay?
21:52:19: <Nuppiz> okay for next season, yes
21:52:25: <Valentino_Nicchi> phew
21:52:28: <Nuppiz> no injuries in NC races
21:52:38: <Nuppiz> unless the crash is very, very bad
21:53:18: <Nuppiz> Pulaski joins the top 10
21:54:28: <Nuppiz> as does Voeckler soon
21:55:28: <Nuppiz> looks like the teams have underestimated the fuel consumption, so the cars have to pit for more fuel
21:55:35: <AssodiFiori> Dumm still 6?
21:55:41: <Nuppiz> 4th
21:55:49: <Valentino_Nicchi> the track for the prost race will be the challenging san fransisco circuit from GRID :)
21:56:04: <Nuppiz> Wilson and Roberts were both ahead of him
21:56:10: <Valentino_Nicchi> which will also be used for a championship race later in the season
21:56:42: <RealRacingRoots> the short long beach circuit from grid is fantastic
21:56:53: <AssodiFiori> He is a strong IIDOTR contender
21:57:50: <Nuppiz> Top 10, 22/30 laps completed: Kickert, Ramone, Howard, Dumm, Gaera, Capile, Jericho, Courbois, Pulaski, Voeckler
21:57:52: <Salamander> Valentino_Nicchi, the long one with all the hills?
21:57:56: <Salamander> that should be good
21:58:05: <Valentino_Nicchi> yes
21:58:13: <AssodiFiori> gtg
21:58:24: <Nuppiz> Nicchi 11th and March 12th
21:58:29: <Nuppiz> no other cars running
21:58:46: <Valentino_Nicchi> atleast valentino hasn't lost too many places from that incident
21:59:40: <Nuppiz> Kickert and Ramone have called for pitstops
22:03:11: <Nuppiz> Howard runs out of fuel!
22:03:20: <Nuppiz> from third place, no less
22:03:45: <Nuppiz> and Ramone has stopped too!
22:04:02: <Salamander> theyre dropping like flies now...
22:04:46: <Nuppiz> brake failure for Ramone
22:05:01: <Salamander> arent ramone and howard teammates?
22:05:08: <Nuppiz> yes
22:05:09: <Salamander> kind of a tough break for them
22:05:30: <Nuppiz> yup, both cars out almost simultaneously from 2nd and 3rd
22:06:02: <Nuppiz> Gaera is running on fumes as well, can he make it to the pits?
22:07:06: <Nuppiz> no he can't!
22:07:12: <Valentino_Nicchi> this puts valentino into 9th presumably :)
22:07:16: <Salamander> yikes
22:07:26: <Salamander> not a good time to be at the front of the pack
22:07:35: <Nuppiz> he runs out of fuel as soon as reaches the pit straight!
22:07:58: <RealRacingRoots> get outta the car and push it!
22:07:58: <Nuppiz> only a few meters away from his pit crew!
22:09:41: <Nuppiz> nope, that's the end of the Aussie's race
22:11:07: <Nuppiz> well, that was entertaining
22:13:07: <Nuppiz> four laps to go, the order is: Kickert, Dumm +1 lap, Jericho +2.648, Capile +2.845, Courbois +26.425, Pulaski +42.958, Voeckler +3.158, Nicchi +28.139, March +1.388
22:14:55: <Nuppiz> three laps remaining
22:16:47: <Nuppiz> penultimate lap
22:17:16: <Valentino_Nicchi> 8th place, good job valentino
22:22:36: <Nuppiz> Dumm is off!
22:22:49: <Valentino_Nicchi> aww
22:23:04: <Salamander> thats a shame
22:25:10: <Nuppiz> March coming in for a late refuel
22:25:34: <Nuppiz> Kickert is again running on fumes!
22:25:42: <Nuppiz> it's the last lap, can he make it!
22:25:44: <Nuppiz> ?
22:25:49: <Salamander> oh man
22:25:59: <Salamander> if he doesnt make it...
22:26:12: <Nuppiz> HE DOESN'T!
22:26:12: <Valentino_Nicchi> then jericho will win
22:26:16: <Rated> LOL
22:26:20: <Salamander> XD
22:26:33: <Nuppiz> OUT OF FUEL IN THE SECOND-TO-LAST CORNER!
22:26:38: <Salamander> he was a lap ahead too
22:26:44: <Salamander> pasta's gonna be fuming
22:26:48: <Rated> Absolutely shameful
22:27:05: <Valentino_Nicchi> that is such a shame
22:27:24: <Nuppiz> Voeckler coming into another refuel as well
22:27:30: <Nuppiz> in for*
22:27:47: <Nuppiz> as is Jericho and Capile!
22:28:19: <Nuppiz> LOL!
22:28:26: <Salamander> is dumm pitting?
22:28:33: <Nuppiz> Voeckler runs out of fuel two meters from his pitcrew
22:28:39: <Salamander> XD
22:28:49: <Nuppiz> or more like two feet
22:29:04: <Salamander> what a fitting way to finish the season
22:30:01: <Valentino_Nicchi> where's nicchi gonna finish??
22:30:18: <Nuppiz> asdasdasdasd
22:30:24: <Salamander> i think its anyones guess at this stage
22:30:24: <RealRacingRoots> oh dear
22:30:33: <RealRacingRoots> nobody wants to win
22:30:45: <Nuppiz> Jericho decides that he doesn't want to win and hits Voeckler on the pitlane
22:30:49: <Salamander> XD
22:30:50: <Rated> LOOOOOL !
22:30:55: <Valentino_Nicchi> oh my
22:31:25: <RealRacingRoots> i can't wait for the video
22:31:27: <Nuppiz> moments later Courbois and Nicchi also come into the pits and join the pileup
22:31:34: <Valentino_Nicchi> damn!!!!
22:31:43: <Nuppiz> Jericho loses his rear wing and retires :P
22:31:46: <Valentino_Nicchi> if nicchi didn't pit we would've won!!
22:32:01: <Nuppiz> Pedro Capilé will win the race!
22:32:08: <Rated> LMAO for real ?
22:32:20: <Nuppiz> Courvois is alwo without both wings
22:32:25: <Nuppiz> Courbois*
22:32:29: <Valentino_Nicchi> that will delight the brazilian crowd
22:32:38: <Salamander> who entered capile anyway
22:32:45: <Nuppiz> FantometteBr
22:33:35: <Nuppiz> Pulaski pits as well
22:33:52: <Nuppiz> Kickert is still leading :P
22:34:09: <Salamander> what
22:34:27: <Nuppiz> Capilé only takes the lead as he crosses the line
22:34:43: <Nuppiz> well, 20 meters before it
22:36:22: <Nuppiz> and he wins the rather bizarre Brazilian GP!
22:37:12: <Nuppiz> Courbois comes home second
22:37:36: <RealRacingRoots> This is one of the best races we've had at F1R in a long time
22:37:57: <Salamander> it was kinda boring at stages, but that finish...
22:38:12: <Nuppiz> Pulaski third
22:39:14: <RealRacingRoots> i haven't seen that good of a finish since that RoLFS westhill feature
22:39:55: <Nuppiz> Kickert is classifed 4th, Jericho 5th, March is 6th and Nicchi is 7th and last
22:40:16: <Valentino_Nicchi> bah
22:40:34: <Nuppiz> only four cars actually finished
22:40:43: <Nuppiz> Nicchi retired on the last lap due to damage
22:40:49: <Valentino_Nicchi> valentino should've won
22:41:03: <Salamander> kickert shouldve won to be fair
22:41:36: <Salamander> he dominated the whole race
22:43:16: <Valentino_Nicchi> fastest lap?
22:43:35: <Salamander> kickert i would imagine
22:43:52: <Nuppiz> Wilson
22:44:05: <Nuppiz> 1.48.188 on lap 13
22:45:13: <Nuppiz> as a special treat, here's the pitlane chaos, straight from the oven: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nuppiz
22:46:59: <Valentino_Nicchi> wow...just
22:47:00: <Rated> LOL !
22:47:08: <Salamander> XD
22:47:13: <RealRacingRoots> that is fantastic
22:47:20: <Salamander> absolutely brilliant
22:47:31: <Salamander> cant wait for the whole vid with kickert running out
22:47:59: <Nuppiz> will be ready around tomorrow noon
22:48:10: <Valentino_Nicchi> ROTR?
22:48:12: <Nuppiz> 12 hours from now
22:48:16: <Nuppiz> umm
22:48:23: <Nuppiz> Charles Jericho?
22:48:37: <Salamander> whoever failed to put enough fuel in kickerts car
22:49:03: <Nuppiz> pit crews in common
22:49:10: <Salamander> yeah
22:49:31: <Salamander> all those cars running out of fuel was fairly ridiculous
