2015 F1RWRS Mexican GP

21:14:37: <Aerond> Vantini will win
21:14:39: <Aerond> :p
21:15:23: <Nuppiz> I'm rooting for Jones Racing this time around
21:15:49: <Nuppiz> largely because my main driver got hired by them...
21:15:49: <Dr_Currywurst> anyone up for a vintage round of the Kay Lon Guessing Game?
21:16:09: <Dr_Currywurst> I say lap 26
21:16:15: <Aerond> :p
21:16:15: <Aerond> Kay Lon will finish the race, in 13th place
21:16:35: <Aerond> you heard it here first
21:17:54: <JasonHamilton> Everyone knows that Tajner will start the race Hans Heyer style in a 2013 CR and will proceed to dominate
21:18:45: <Dr_Currywurst> it's just a shame it is too obvious that I am Klon - I needed someone to ask who "Dr. Currywurst" is because I've thought up of such a ridiculous title for Life GP Series's (and F_RWRS's?) answer to Sid Watkins
21:18:49: <Aerond> We're actually getting some interesting qualifying results lately
21:19:02: <Aerond> We just need some crazy racing to happen as well
21:19:38: <Aerond> Well, Bathurst electrics were crazy, but they didn't spoil the final result as much as desired
21:19:50: <JasonHamilton> more solid points for Battani
21:20:04: <Aerond> I just thought you were having Currywurst for dinner
21:20:05: <Aerond> :p
21:20:30: <Dr_Currywurst> finding currywurst in ireland is pretty difficult and I haven't gotten around to making it myself :D
21:20:51: <Dr_Currywurst> also I need to cut down the cost - meat isn't a good idea when doing so
21:21:10: <Dr_Currywurst> I mainly had noodles with ketchup over the last week
21:21:20: <Aerond> lol
21:21:26: <Aerond> When I lived in London
21:21:45: <Aerond> the only cheap way to eat some meet was to buy some frozen chicken drumsticks out of Lidl
21:21:50: <Aerond> or Sainsburys
21:22:10: <Dr_Currywurst> Well, if it weren't for Tralee's Aldi I would be broke by now
21:22:32: <JasonHamilton> looking forward to this
21:22:54: <Aerond> Aldi's not a bad choice
21:23:11: <Aerond> But the selection is pretty limited compared to bigger surfaces, obviously
21:23:27: <Dr_Currywurst> but the price is so beautifully German
21:23:31: <Aerond> You can still have those giant greek yoghourt buckets though
21:23:49: <Aerond> :p
21:24:13: <Aerond> Well, people's getting bored and I guess we're not getting many people in tonight
21:24:18: <Aerond> So let's kick this off
21:26:52: <Nuppiz> hmm, I hope it's technical problems that are causing quitting...
21:26:58: <Dr_Currywurst> now we're down to three - I guess our money talk was too ... pricey for them
21:27:02: <Dr_Currywurst> dohohohoho
21:27:35: <Aerond> hohohooh
21:27:52: <Dr_Currywurst> Always a glutton for PUNishment
21:28:12: <Aerond> Ok, this is on!
21:28:19: <Aerond> Red lights
21:28:29: <Aerond> GOOOOOOOOOOO
21:28:52: <Aerond> Mori challenge the lead at T1
21:28:55: <Aerond> and wins!
21:28:57: <Aerond> Mori leads!
21:29:27: <Dr_Currywurst> Wait ... if Mori wins this ... the symbolism would be overwhelming
21:29:58: <Aerond> Neuberg attacks back but Mori holds his position
21:30:05: <Aerond> Order
21:30:23: <Aerond> Mori, Neuberg, Vantini, P.Mann, R.Davies, De Bock, Dagnall, Jones, Steele, Bosevic
21:30:30: <Aerond> Neuberg attacks on peraltada
21:30:34: <Aerond> wins 1st place!
21:30:36: <Nuppiz> go Vantini!
21:30:47: <Alitalia> did any Alitalia retire yet?
21:30:47: <Aerond> Vantini passes Mori
21:31:06: <Aerond> Dagnall gets 6th from De Bock
21:31:15: <Aerond> Ben Fleet enters the pits for a new Fw
21:31:22: <Alitalia> fffffffuuuuuuu
21:31:24: <Dr_Currywurst> That would be the quickest retirement ever
21:31:25: <Aerond> We couldn't catch it but he may have hit someone at T1
21:31:44: <Aerond> Jones passes De Bock as well
21:31:52: <Alitalia> 2he will not get a new contract by doing that all the time...
21:31:57: <Aerond> and Neuberg is already opening a nice gap there
21:32:13: <Aerond> Will be almost 4 secs on Vantini at the end of Lap 2
21:32:21: <Aerond> Dagnall passes Rhys Davies for 5th!
21:32:29: <Dr_Currywurst> I wonder when Fleet dropped the ball, he didn't look this bad at the end of last year
21:32:29: <Aerond> And Jones attacks too!
21:32:33: <Aerond> Gets 6th place
21:32:37: <Aerond> Rhys Davies is 7th
21:32:50: <Aerond> and Dagnall passes Mori now!
21:32:53: <Aerond> Incredible drive
21:33:08: <Aerond> He's gone from 9th to 4th in just 3 laps
21:33:28: <PlusOneGroup> Hi guys :)
21:33:28: <Alitalia> 2I just need Koczo to score a good result so we stay out of PreQuali...
21:33:44: <Aerond> Dagnall is attacking Pippa Mann
21:33:53: <Aerond> Rhys Davies gets the 6th place back from Jones
21:34:04: <Aerond> Dagnall passes Mann at the back straight
21:34:08: <PlusOneGroup> Hoping Koczo can keep it on track for a decent result
21:34:08: <Aerond> He's 3rd!
21:34:23: <Aerond> and already going to chase Vantini
21:34:37: <Dr_Currywurst> to quote myself: "well, the result of this race is obvious: DagnallWinsLol :P"
21:34:44: <Aerond> Vantini has lost 7.4 secs to Neuberg in just 4 laps
21:34:54: <Aerond> Dagnall sets the fastest lap
21:35:18: <Aerond> Dagnall is already there to pass Vantini
21:35:21: <PlusOneGroup> Dagnall - the virtual equivalent of Sebastian Vettel
21:36:03: <Aerond> We're in Lap 6 out of 73
21:36:14: <Alitalia> 2not really no...
21:36:14: <Aerond> Dagnall tries... and passes Vantini for 2nd
21:36:21: <Alitalia> 2Dagnall more like the virtual equivalent of Alonso...
21:36:22: <Aerond> He's 11 secs off Neuberg
21:36:31: <Alitalia> 2he qualifies bad and blitzes the race...
21:36:55: <PlusOneGroup> kostas - is the Alitalia reliable?
21:37:02: <Aerond> Pippa Mann scores fastest lap
21:37:06: <Aerond> and passes Vantini!
21:37:09: <Aerond> She's 3rd
21:37:34: <Aerond> Dagnall has started cutting the gap to Neuberg already
21:37:38: <Aerond> 0.8 in the last lap
21:38:07: <Aerond> Mark Dagnall scores fastest lap again
21:38:17: <Aerond> Neuberg is 9.3 ahead of him now
21:38:23: <PlusOneGroup> Every race... and there was I, at the start of the season, thinking that the DGN had lost it's edge :D
21:38:31: <Aerond> Full race order at Lap 8
21:38:42: <Aerond> 1.Neuberg
21:38:45: <Aerond> 2.Dagnall
21:38:50: <Aerond> 3.Pippa Mann
21:38:53: <Aerond> 4.Vantini
21:38:55: <Aerond> 5.Mori
21:39:21: <Aerond> The Stig retires...
21:39:26: <Aerond> 6.R.Davies
21:39:30: <Aerond> 7.Jones
21:39:32: <Aerond> 8.Bosevic
21:39:36: <Aerond> 9.de Bock
21:39:38: <Aerond> 10.Steele
21:39:40: <Aerond> 11.Watkinson
21:39:44: <Aerond> 12.J.Davies
21:39:46: <Aerond> 13.Zimmer
21:39:48: <Aerond> 14.Moll
21:39:50: <Aerond> 15.Mignolet
21:39:59: <Aerond> 16.Kekkonen
21:40:02: <Aerond> 17.Al Faisal
21:40:04: <Aerond> 18.Mestolio
21:40:08: <Aerond> 19.D.Mann
21:40:11: <Aerond> 20.Lon
21:40:14: <Aerond> 21.McFry
21:40:17: <Aerond> 22.Melrose
21:40:21: <Aerond> 23.Battani
21:40:24: <Aerond> 24.Koczo
21:40:27: <Aerond> 25.Fleet
21:40:39: <Aerond> Fleet is already a lap down
21:40:46: <Aerond> as he gets lapped by Dagnall
21:40:47: <PlusOneGroup> Attrition is your friend...
21:41:02: <Dr_Currywurst> with the first retirement coming after 8 laps?
21:41:16: <Dr_Currywurst> there's not going to be much attrition on this day
21:41:39: <Aerond> Jones is having to defend his 7th place from Bosevic
21:42:07: <Aerond> De Bock passes Bosevic
21:42:11: <Alitalia> 2Why does Alitalia have reasoable qualifying pace and absolutely ZERO race pace?!
21:42:22: <Aerond> Nice battle between Jones, de Bock, Bosevic and Steele
21:42:34: <PlusOneGroup> High up in Mexico? Where there's more fumes than if you stuck your head upan exhaust pipe? Atrrition WILL come. I'll bet my avatar on it
21:42:38: <Alitalia> 2I mean, I don't expect miracles, but really, we are absolutely stone dead last in race pace by a mile yet fast enough to qualify...it doesn't make sense to me...
21:42:40: <Aerond> Lap 11, Dagnall is 6.1 off Neuberg
21:42:55: <Aerond> Pippa Mann is 3rd 18 secs off the MRT driver
21:43:22: <Aerond> De Bock passes Jones
21:43:30: <Aerond> Steele passes Bosevic
21:44:02: <Dr_Currywurst> I call that bet
21:44:12: <Dr_Currywurst> there won't be more than 8 retirements
21:44:20: <Aerond> kostas, in Monaco Ben Fleet also destroyed something at the beggining
21:44:33: <Aerond> and Koczo had to stop with an electrical problem, or a brakes problem
21:44:37: <Aerond> can't remember which
21:44:46: <Alitalia> 2it was electrics
21:44:55: <Alitalia> 2this is true, but even before those happened, we were ruinning dead last
21:45:11: <Aerond> Foxdale pace, on the other hand, is way more surprising
21:45:16: <Aerond> Koczo wasn't
21:45:49: <PlusOneGroup> If there's less than 8 retirements - you win. 8 or more - I win. Now, if you lose I propose a Barrichello was crap avatar.
21:45:59: <Aerond> mcFry is stopping
21:46:00: <Aerond> !
21:46:02: <Aerond> Engine failure
21:46:27: <Dr_Currywurst> You wouldn't dare...
21:46:51: <Dr_Currywurst> but bring it on
21:47:21: <PlusOneGroup> Challenge accepted! Have you got a suggestion for my punishment?
21:47:26: <Aerond> Ben Fleet is creating mayhem as the midfield come to lap him
21:47:42: <Dr_Currywurst> not yet - i will come back to you
21:47:47: <Aerond> De Bock has taken the chance to open a nice gap over Jones
21:47:55: <Dr_Currywurst> do accidents count as retirements as far as this bet goes
21:48:11: <Aerond> and James Davies managed to pass Watkinson and nearly passed Bosevic too
21:48:20: <PlusOneGroup> It's up to you. I would say yes
21:48:27: <Aerond> Steele also lost one place there
21:48:55: <Dr_Currywurst> if it's up to me then I say it does not count as retirement when it would hurt me if it were to count
21:49:15: <Aerond> Funny thing here: Drivers could go either for 1 (15% chance), 2 (70% chance) or 3 (15% chance) stops
21:49:19: <PlusOneGroup> Let the challenge commence
21:50:10: <Dr_Currywurst> I could imagine both Prospecs being on a three-stopper
21:50:17: <Aerond> Kay Lon has lost a massive 25 secs in the last lap
21:50:27: <Alitalia> 2and I imagine both Alitalias are on one stops...
21:50:30: <Aerond> and Mestolio... is out of the race!
21:50:33: <Alitalia> 2ok well not Fleet
21:50:41: <Alitalia> 2lets say one tactical stop for him
21:50:54: <PlusOneGroup> Whoever loses has to have the avatar until the next F1RWRS race
21:50:55: <Alitalia> 2on top of his "oh christ, I crashed into someone again" stop
21:51:10: <Aerond> Mignolet out!
21:51:12: <Dr_Currywurst> until the next F1RWRS race - even with aerond taking his time that's not a punishment
21:51:25: <Dr_Currywurst> one month as usual with these bets, I say
21:51:46: <Dr_Currywurst> and this is rather stupid of me, given that we are already at four retirements
21:52:03: <PlusOneGroup> Okay then - one month :)
21:52:07: <Aerond> And Dagnall passes Neuberg!
21:52:24: <Aerond> He did at the entrance of the peraltada
21:52:37: <Aerond> As he passes by Mignolet's stopped car
21:52:53: <Aerond> Chris Dagnall doesn't look too worried
21:53:02: <Aerond> as it's again the 2nd car experiencing problems
21:53:07: <Aerond> Dagnall pits!
21:53:08: <Aerond> Lap 18
21:53:11: <Aerond> Three stopper
21:53:19: <Aerond> Let's see what Neuberg does
21:53:49: <Aerond> He comes back in 3rd, behind Pippa Mann
21:53:57: <Aerond> and Kay Lon's Prospec
21:54:15: <Aerond> He's lost some 30 secs in the operation
21:55:09: <Aerond> James Davies retires!
21:55:19: <Aerond> Another dreadful weekend for Sunshine
21:55:30: <Aerond> This is just becoming too usual
21:55:45: <Dr_Currywurst> they dropped the ball once Lon left
21:55:55: <Dr_Currywurst> BITW, baby :D
21:55:58: <Aerond> and what the hell is on with Rhys Davies? He's not able to pass Mori!
21:56:43: <Aerond> Dagnall tries to pass Mann...
21:56:52: <Aerond> He misses at the end of the main straight
21:56:53: <Aerond> ...
21:57:01: <Aerond> but he passes at the back straight for 2nd
21:57:09: <Aerond> Now 28 secs off Neuberg
21:57:17: <Aerond> He's the only driver going for 2 stops
21:57:29: <Aerond> 3 stops
21:57:31: <Aerond> sorry
21:58:34: <Aerond> Ben Fleet is stopping at the Peraltada!
21:58:36: <Aerond> He's out
21:59:00: <Aerond> Spent all his race day in last place thanks to a collision in turn one
21:59:10: <Aerond> Dagnall scores yet another Fastest Lap
21:59:12: <Dr_Currywurst> You better get to designing that avatar, then we can start this thing today
21:59:16: <Aerond> Bosevic pits
22:02:19: <Alitalia> 2Fleet retires? Who cares, he was last anyway
22:03:25: <Dr_Currywurst> with that attitude it's no wonder your drivers have issues
22:04:22: <PlusOneGroup> Aerond - has there been 8 retirements/
22:04:33: <Dr_Currywurst> we are at six retirements so far
22:04:56: <Aerond> Kekkonen and Watkinson pit
22:05:05: <Aerond> Sorry, had to go to the toilet, did a small pause
22:05:07: <Dr_Currywurst> Alitalia should hire this guy as a motivational coach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mzNRJkjXwQ
22:05:25: <Aerond> We have 7 retirements now
22:05:31: <Aerond> Lap 24/73
22:06:24: <Nuppiz> 3Koln, I assume before each race, barring F1RDS, that my drivers will fail, so when there's a surprise good result I can feel good about it.
22:06:30: <Nuppiz> 3Klon*
22:07:04: <Aerond> Dagnall scores another fastest lap
22:07:11: <Dr_Currywurst> I am a fan of Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher - you do not have to tell me about expecting things to turn out awful :D
22:07:19: <Aerond> he's 21.6 off Neuberg and will surely get the lead when the MRT driver stops
22:07:26: <Aerond> Steele and Jones pit
22:07:39: <Aerond> Zimmer pits
22:07:49: <Aerond> Battani got a bit in the way
22:08:02: <Aerond> and he unlaps himself!
22:08:10: <Aerond> Dagnall shakes his fist in anger!!
22:08:18: <Aerond> Pippa Mann is in the pits
22:08:42: <Aerond> Watkinson retires
22:08:50: <Dr_Currywurst> 8/8
22:09:07: <Aerond> Melrose pits
22:09:13: <Aerond> Neuberg pits
22:09:25: <Aerond> Dagnall gets the lead
22:09:55: <Aerond> de Bock pits
22:10:50: <Aerond> Vantini and Rhys Davies seem to be going for one stop
22:10:59: <Aerond> Rhys Davies passed Mori a few laps ago
22:11:06: <Aerond> and Davies is trying to get closer to Vantini
22:11:13: <Aerond> Who's about 2 secs ahead of him
22:11:25: <Aerond> Moll pits
22:12:12: <Aerond> Dagnall is having a hard time with lapped guys now
22:12:22: <Aerond> Lost time with Steele
22:12:29: <Aerond> as he does now with Jones
22:13:03: <RealRacingRoots> 2What lap are we on?
22:13:04: <Aerond> As things stand now
22:13:24: <Aerond> Dagnall will need roughly another 18 seconds to win this race
22:13:25: <Aeroracing> Hi
22:13:32: <Aerond> We're in Lap 30
22:13:35: <Aerond> Race order
22:14:45: <Aerond> 1.Dagnall 2.Neuberg 3.Vantini 4.R.Davies 5.Mori 6.P.Mann 7.De Bock 8.Bosevic 9.Jones 10.Steele 11.Moll 12.Zimmer 13.Kekkonen 14.Al Faisal 15.Melrose 16.Battani 17.D.Mann 18.Lon
22:15:08: <Alitalia> 2uhm where is Koczo?
22:15:13: <Aerond> Marcos, Pippa is virtually 3rd
22:15:15: <Aerond> so you know
22:15:17: <Alitalia> 2I don't see him in the lits :S
22:15:23: <Aerond> Koczo is out
22:15:23: <Aerond> :
22:15:28: <Aerond> :p
22:15:29: <Alitalia> 2ok when did that happen?!
22:15:30: <Aerond> Missed it
22:15:31: <Aerond> Sorry
22:15:37: <Aerond> After James Davies
22:15:38: <Aeroracing> It would be good if she finished the race
22:15:43: <Aerond> Before Fleet
22:15:44: <Aeroracing> She has no points so far
22:15:57: <Aeroracing> The Stig's already have a podium
22:16:15: <Aeroracing> *Already had a podium, sorry
22:16:18: <Aeroracing> Phoenglish :P
22:16:25: <Aerond> Oh my god!
22:16:31: <Aerond> Bosevic is out!
22:16:31: <RealRacingRoots> 2the best kind of english my friend
22:16:36: <Aerond> Weird weird weird move there
22:16:39: <Alitalia> 2FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
22:16:47: <Aerond> Dagnall came to lap him on the back straight
22:16:53: <Aerond> Bosevic suddenly closed on him
22:16:55: <Aerond> They touched
22:17:02: <Aerond> And Bosevic went on to hit the wall
22:17:26: <Aeroracing> *Cue comments about what a shame Dagnall didn't retire too*
22:17:29: <Alitalia> 2http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md72ozeMu81rsw1yf.gif
22:17:50: <Aerond> And Bosevic stops in the middle of the track
22:17:53: <Alitalia> 2^^ Click to see the team principal's reaction...
22:18:03: <Aerond> as every driver knows this is the safest way to park your car
22:18:08: <RealRacingRoots> 2Bosevic is going to get a ear-lashing once he gets back to the paddock
22:18:27: <Dr_Currywurst> Stopping your car in the middle of the track? That's a paddlin'
22:18:51: <Aerond> Bosevic has now a huuuuuuuuuge chance of earning ROTR
22:19:12: <Aeroracing> Correct me if I'm wrong, Neuberg is driving for MRT now right?
22:19:16: <RealRacingRoots> 2Safety Car? What Safety Car!
22:19:16: <Aerond> Yes
22:19:17: <Dr_Currywurst> yep
22:19:31: <Aeroracing> And Philippe Nicolas is driving for...?
22:19:36: <Aerond> Kingfisher
22:19:42: <Aerond> they exchanged the drives
22:19:47: <Alitalia> 2Nicolas was a DNQ lol
22:19:57: <Aerond> Funnily enough
22:20:02: <Alitalia> 2that's just...hilarious...
22:20:11: <Aerond> if Neuberg earns a good haul of points in the next three races
22:20:15: <Alitalia> 2our drivers may be slow but at least we started the flippin race
22:20:29: <Aerond> and Nicolas falls short of those points to win the championship
22:20:45: <Aerond> it will have been another massive rejectful misjudgement by Mr.Melrose
22:20:45: <Aeroracing> Nicolas is not going to be a title contender IMO
22:20:53: <Aerond> Vantini pits
22:20:56: <Aerond> Lap 34
22:21:01: <Aeroracing> In fact I can't understand why Melrose does this kind of decisions
22:21:03: <Dr_Currywurst> That's BMW-style management for you
22:21:38: <Aerond> Pippa Mann retires...
22:21:46: <Dr_Currywurst> why? because having a good driver (Davies)- pay driver (Neuberg) combination is essential if you want to win anything ever in F1RWRS
22:22:06: <Aeroracing> He could have hired a pay driver to begin with then
22:22:06: <Aerond> Dagnall pits
22:22:11: <Dr_Currywurst> so it's better to start now than never
22:22:46: <Aerond> Neuberg gets the lead back
22:23:07: <Aerond> Mori pits
22:23:15: <Aerond> Rhys Davies keeps on
22:23:22: <Aerond> trying to win the place to Vantini
22:23:38: <Aerond> Vantini passes Mori
22:23:59: <Aerond> Davies goes on for another lap
22:24:09: <Aerond> He may have a chance of passing Vantini after all
22:24:19: <Dr_Currywurst> indeed he could've - but he didn't, so he will have to solvr that mess now
22:24:51: <Aerond> Kay Lon pits
22:25:06: <Aerond> Davies pits
22:25:09: <Aerond> Lap 38
22:25:25: <Aerond> Vantini is still a bit far from the pits
22:25:40: <Aeroracing> Why did Pippa retire?
22:25:55: <Aerond> And Davies exits ahead of Vantini!
22:26:05: <Aerond> Strategy paid off here
22:26:19: <Aerond> Transmission
22:28:33: <Aerond> Mark Dagnall scores another fastest lap
22:28:39: <Aerond> He's 11.1 off Neuberg
22:28:51: <Dr_Currywurst> so many names beginning with A
22:28:51: <Aeroracing> So...
22:28:51: <Atax1a> What have I missed?
22:28:54: <Aeroracing> DAGNALLWINSLOL
22:29:03: <Aerond> He'll need to cut that distance before the end of the race as both need to stop once more
22:30:35: <Aerond> Atax1a, not much
22:30:48: <Atax1a> oh...
22:30:54: <Aerond> Dagnall passed everyone on the way and he's fighting with Neuberg for the win
22:31:20: <PlusOneGroup> klon; I'll prepare your avatar tomorow
22:31:29: <Dr_Currywurst> good enough
22:32:33: <Aerond> and you also missed an idiotic accident by Bosevic
22:32:55: <Aerond> Who just tried to block Dagnall to avoid getting lapped and ended up against the wall
22:33:06: <Aerond> Steele is out
22:33:16: <Aerond> Transmission
22:33:50: <Aerond> and Mori retires too!
22:33:51: <Dr_Currywurst> Mori must retire! Mori must retire!
22:33:58: <Dr_Currywurst> YES!
22:33:59: <Aerond> Sync retiring by the Kamahas
22:34:30: <Aeroracing> Big embarrassment for Kamaha then lol
22:34:44: <RealRacingRoots> 2More candidates for ROTR then
22:34:44: <Aerond> 14 drivers left
22:34:59: <Aerond> They're too far from Bosevic
22:35:07: <Aerond> That move was... special
22:35:08: <Aerond> :p
22:35:32: <Dr_Currywurst> but synchro-retirement has this Arrows-esque beauty to it
22:35:41: <Dr_Currywurst> letting that go unrewarded would be kind of a shame
22:35:58: <Aerond> Dagnall is just 1 sec off Neuberg now
22:36:36: <sizzle> Bloody autocorrect
22:36:39: <sizzle> What have I missed?
22:36:46: <Aerond> Dagnall tries to pass at the entrance of Peraltada...
22:36:50: <Aerond> Neuberg on the outside
22:36:55: <Aerond> Neuberg loses grip!!
22:36:59: <Aerond> He's off the track!
22:37:11: <Atax1a> inb4 Dagnallwinslol
22:37:25: <sizzle> Oh for fuck's sake
22:37:58: <Aerond> Neuberg spins...
22:38:10: <sizzle> I'm hear for a grand total of five seconds and the idiot already throws it off the road
22:38:13: <Aerond> He's back on
22:38:22: <sizzle> How many laps are there to go and where's Davies?
22:38:25: <RealRacingRoots> 2The DGN and MRT pits have gone beserek!
22:38:28: <Aerond> Al Faisal is out of the race
22:38:45: <Aerond> Neuberg is 18.1 secs off Dagnall...
22:38:51: <Aerond> De Bock pits
22:39:01: <Alitalia> 2DAGNALLWINSLOL
22:39:01: <Aerond> Sizzle, James or Rhys??
22:39:07: <Alitalia> 2What did MRT expect, hiring a paydriver...
22:39:17: <sizzle> Rhys, obviously
22:39:27: <sizzle> Hey, he can string a lap together very well
22:39:33: <Aerond> He's 3rd, just a little bit ahead of Vantini
22:39:37: <RealRacingRoots> 2stress on A lap
22:39:39: <sizzle> He just can't seem to do it on race day though
22:39:40: <Dr_Currywurst> it's going to pay off in the long-term ... without pay drivers MRT will never win a title
22:39:50: <Atax1a> good god...cavemen on Stargate
22:40:02: <Aerond> Neuberg's spin was his own fault
22:40:07: <Aeroracing> I do have a masterplan to try and make Aeroracing a worthy rival for DGN next year
22:40:11: <sizzle> So how many laps are there to go?
22:40:16: <Aeroracing> Related to that
22:40:21: <Aeroracing> But I'm not going to reveal it here
22:40:32: <Aerond> He tried to intimidate Dagnall but lost grip when they were running parallel
22:40:34: <sizzle> Phoenix, you would be well up there if your car wasn't made of cheese :P
22:40:36: <Aerond> and spun off
22:40:47: <Aerond> Very lucky to get out of that situation with the car intact
22:40:53: <Aerond> It's 23 laps to go
22:41:01: <Dr_Currywurst> push all your credits into Pippa Mann whilst collecting pay driver cash?
22:41:04: <Aerond> Neuberg pits
22:41:12: <Aerond> Douglas Mann too
22:41:27: <sizzle> Does Daggers Jr have to stop again?
22:41:27: <Aerond> Neuberg will now try to secure 2nd place
22:41:42: <Aerond> Yes, once
22:41:49: <Aerond> More rejectfulness by MRT crew
22:42:10: <Aerond> as Foxdale crew sorte Douglas Mann faster and Neuberg had to wait for the Foxdale driver to pass
22:42:17: <sizzle> Is Melrose still trolling around the lower midfield?
22:42:21: <Aerond> Moll, Jones and Kekkonen all pit
22:42:35: <Aerond> Yes, Melrose is running as an old grandpa safely
22:42:49: <Aerond> He pits now
22:42:51: <Aerond> in 10th place
22:42:55: <Aerond> Zimmer is 8th
22:43:13: <sizzle> Grandpa at the ripe old age of 29... my career really has hit the shit hasn't it?
22:43:27: <Dr_Currywurst> tell me about it
22:43:40: <Aerond> Dagnall pits
22:44:05: <Aerond> He obviously keeps the lead miles ahead of Neuberg
22:44:13: <Aerond> Battani pits
22:44:22: <Aerond> 20 laps to go
22:44:29: <Dr_Currywurst> being F1RWRS's equivalent of the late Rene Arnoux at the age of 24 sure is suffering
22:46:23: <Aeroracing> I didn't know René Arnoux died
22:46:54: <Dr_Currywurst> well, his career did
22:47:10: <Aeroracing> In 1985
22:48:24: <wizzie> My friend's iPad crapped itself so now I've resorted to his MacBook
22:48:31: <Aerond> lol
22:48:41: <wizzie> Ah, the benefits of having a rich friend in English :P
22:48:42: <Dr_Currywurst> that's what you get for hanging around apple people :P
22:48:45: <Aerond> lol!
22:49:02: <Aerond> Rhys Davies gets blatantly blocked by Kay Lon!
22:49:03: <Alitalia> 2You have hipster friends Melrose?
22:49:27: <Aerond> Poor bastard Battani is out
22:49:39: <wizzie> More like trying far too hard to be hipster
22:49:40: <Dr_Currywurst> Apple is as mainstream as breathing - no self-respecting hipster uses these things anymore
22:49:54: <Aerond> Kay Lon is still blocking Davies!
22:49:54: <wizzie> Which is amazing considering this is Western Sydney
22:50:06: <wizzie> Get out of the way you old fart!
22:50:07: <Aeroracing> I don't really get what a hipster is
22:50:10: <Aerond> He's lost 5 secs this lap!
22:50:29: <Dr_Currywurst> A hipster is someone who dislikes things because they are popular/loves them because they are not
22:50:39: <Alitalia> 2Hipsters wear extremely ugly wooly clothes because it's 'alternative'
22:50:41: <Alitalia> 2or something
22:50:44: <Alitalia> 2I don't really know tbh
22:50:45: <Dr_Currywurst> sorta like our relation to unsuccessful F1 drivers
22:51:00: <Dr_Currywurst> only in annoying
22:51:06: <Alitalia> 2so...we're all F1 hipsters...
22:51:13: <Dr_Currywurst> in a way, yes
22:51:16: <Alitalia> 2OMGIAREHYPOCRITE -_-
22:51:44: <Aeroracing> Well, TBH I don't really love F1 Rejects
22:51:48: <Aeroracing> I love their stories
22:51:49: <RealRacingRoots> 2The fact that we are all here says a lot.
22:51:54: <Aeroracing> Because I find them interesting
22:51:55: <Aeroracing> lol
22:52:04: <Dr_Currywurst> "I must fight the hipsters" "No, Lindsay, you are the hipsters" And then Linday wore ugly wooly clothes
22:52:28: <Aerond> 15 to go
22:52:39: <wizzie> What's the order Aerond?
22:52:54: <Dr_Currywurst> btw is Lon still blocking Davies
22:52:57: <Aerond> ROTY, Mr.Klon for proposing increasingly longer F1RWRS Davies
22:52:59: <Aerond> No
22:53:04: <Aerond> Lon has gone into the pits
22:53:21: <Aerond> To set himself even further into last place
22:53:31: <Aerond> Race order
22:53:46: <wizzie> Last? God that Prospec must be absolute shit then
22:54:12: <Dr_Currywurst> hey! my proposal also offered 250 km as another option which you declined, so blame yourself for the long races :P
22:54:13: <Aerond> 1.Dagnall 2.Neuberg 3.R.Davies 4.Vantini 5.de Bock 6.Moll 7.Jones 8.Zimmer 9.Kekkonen 10.Melrose 11.D.Mann 12.Lon
22:54:34: <Nuppiz> DAGNALLWINSLOL
22:54:46: <wizzie> 10th... out of 12 runners...
22:55:00: <Aerond> Well, if Neuberg hadn't crapped himself into that spin
22:55:02: <wizzie> Aerond? Can you sack Dagnall for two races just to make things interesting for the rest of us? :P
22:55:05: <Aerond> he may still have a chance
22:55:29: <wizzie> Or make it that he car blows up every second race? :P
22:55:49: <Aerond> atm is Mignolet getting all the car blowing
22:55:57: <Aerond> Just a matter of luck
22:56:02: <Dr_Currywurst> or just have MRT step it up and finally gain enough cash to boost Davies' race pace as well as Dagnalls
22:57:28: <Aerond> If nothing huge happens Bosevic will get ROTR
22:57:31: <wizzie> Well, MRT's one driver system is getting increasingly blatent. To the point where I had to give Rhys all the credits I'll earn from Neuberg just to stop his arse bailing out at the end of the year
22:58:13: <Dr_Currywurst> wise choice, man
22:58:23: <Dr_Currywurst> one driver systems are championship-winning systems
22:58:26: <Dr_Currywurst> at least for now
22:59:17: <Aeroracing> You should have hired a pay driver all along then!
22:59:30: <wizzie> Thing is I'm waiting to see what Aerond does with the rules for next year if the proposed prize-money changes ever get from the drawing board
23:00:26: <Nuppiz> one driver teams work in every series, just ask This in LGPS
23:01:00: <Aerond> Next year the prize structure will be shifted to a more Team success approach
23:01:08: <wizzie> I always get the impression that all of This' plans in any series only ever work through sheer dumb luck alone
23:01:36: <Dr_Currywurst> exactly which is why I have insisted so strongly in the F1RTA thread to get the system changed
23:01:53: <wizzie> I mean, all his driver changes at Ligier in the F1RGP2 Series have never made sense to me yet they almost always seem to to work
23:02:15: <wizzie> With the obvious exception being that Japanese driver whose name escapes me right now
23:02:22: <Alitalia> 2Wizzie, you are the last person to know what to change!
23:02:25: <Aeroracing> Reiko Megumi?
23:02:31: <Alitalia> 2Every change you make is obviously a bad one from the outset but you go ahead and do it anyway!
23:02:31: <Aerond> 5 laps to go
23:02:35: <Aerond> no changes at all
23:03:03: <Aerond> So, for next year we have a pretty extensive overhaul
23:03:08: <Alitalia> 2Sorry but the only good decision you've ever made in F1RWRS was merging Horizon and MRT
23:03:16: <Alitalia> 2to get more credits
23:03:22: <Alitalia> 2without that you'd be down in PreQuali for sure
23:03:28: <Aerond> That is, tyres, aging, chassis rules and jr.drivers
23:03:48: <Aerond> and Prize system at the end of the season
23:03:51: <wizzie> And what exactly have YOU achieved down at Alitalia? :P
23:04:00: <Dr_Currywurst> oh, the burn!
23:04:07: <Alitalia> 2Yes I'm looking forward to the junior drivers rules...hopefully it pays off for Kremnicky or va Nieuwenhuijzen, I may keep them in F2RWRS for 2016 just to give them even more exp points starting out
23:04:09: <Dr_Currywurst> that's a Lauda-tier one
23:04:18: <Aerond> But I'm actually thinking about overhauling the engine rules as well
23:04:22: <Alitalia> 2I've achieved financially stabilising the team
23:04:31: <RealRacingRoots> 4I don't think good PR gives credits, TBH
23:04:33: <Alitalia> 2I'm still working to get more money to buy a new engine...
23:04:34: <Aerond> Zimmer is out
23:04:47: <Alitalia> 2Trueba had almost no cash and really low value fixed assets...
23:05:08: <Alitalia> 2I didn't have 1600 credits or wahtever it was you got with merging MRT and Horizon...
23:05:32: <Aerond> The aim of all this rule changing is to achieve less stationary conditions for the teams
23:05:38: <wizzie> By the end of it, I only ever got about 500 out of the entire deal
23:05:49: <wizzie> The Commish took most of it
23:06:05: <Aerond> lol, the commish took only half
23:06:10: <Aerond> which were spent on popcorn
23:06:17: <Aerond> :p
23:06:20: <Dr_Currywurst> and surveillance cameras
23:06:41: <wizzie> I started 2014 with 900 credits, the exact same amount as Foxdale and only slightly more than other midfield teams like Jones and HRT
23:07:21: <Dr_Currywurst> that is less than Tropico had this year
23:07:34: <Aerond> Curiously, in 2013 we had three teams fighting for top places
23:07:46: <Aerond> Only one of them could barely finish races
23:08:02: <Aerond> In 2014 it was just two, with bad and awful reliability records
23:08:23: <Aerond> This season those two are further ahead
23:08:29: <Aerond> And with better relaibility records
23:08:43: <wizzie> Well, two and a half if you count whichever Sunshine car was competitive on any given weekend in 2014
23:08:47: <Aerond> So I'm trying to understand whats to be done to correct this tendency
23:09:23: <Aeroracing> I think that's in the owner's hands
23:09:24: <wizzie> However, I'm genuinely surprised at just how shit they've become this year considering they have the same engine as MRT, which is on par with the likes of AeroRacing and Jones
23:09:54: <Dr_Currywurst> well, Sunshine had a massive drop in driver quality, so... :P
23:09:57: <wizzie> And it's not as if the chassis either of those two teams are using are rocketships compared to Sunshine either
23:10:02: <Aerond> And, while the system is working, I feel more changes into the rules are needed to achieve more variables coming into place
23:10:06: <Alitalia> 2Anyway, I will need to save this year, can't afford to upgrade
23:10:15: <Aerond> Rhys Davies is out!
23:10:15: <Alitalia> 2will need to purchase a new engine next season
23:10:22: <Aerond> Lap 72!
23:10:23: <wizzie> Wait, WHAT?
23:10:25: <RealRacingRoots> 4Oh snap!
23:10:30: <wizzie> What is this bathpluggery?
23:10:34: <Alitalia> 2hopefully with the Jordan 191 as a decent base and a powerful powerplant underneath it, we can be competitive
23:10:38: <Alitalia> 2that and two fast drivers
23:10:54: <Alitalia> 2Koczo might need his race performance juiced a bit but in terms of qualifying he is sound
23:11:04: <Aeroracing> Because Team Phoenix was shite in 2013 and 2014 and now we're top tier because we picked a powerful engine
23:11:35: <wizzie> Can I take credit for telling you to do that, Phoenix? :P
23:11:37: <Aeroracing> Any other team can pull off something similar
23:11:43: <Aeroracing> Yes, you can
23:11:46: <Dr_Currywurst> and I say the system's not really working: DagnallWinsLol isn't down to "luck" but being the only driver who actually had significant upgrades - but I've talked about that in the F1RTA thread enough
23:11:52: <Aeroracing> But Aerond told me that earlier
23:13:01: <Aerond> Dagnallwinslol
23:13:08: <Aerond> Race over
23:13:32: <Aerond> Rhys Davies will get two points from 5th
23:13:58: <wizzie> Something's just occurred to me. FAT Turbo, which became Mecha, had the same engine as Foxdale in 2013. I know Foxdale changed to the Renault because the Hart had the properties of a toaster but why did Mecha follow suit?
23:14:10: <wizzie> 5th... man, he's gonna be SO pissed when he finds out
23:14:30: <Aeroracing> What a far cry from his two straight wins at the first two races
23:14:50: <Dr_Currywurst> So, Lon finished in 12th?
23:14:59: <wizzie> No, 11th
23:15:11: <Aeroracing> ALon at the back
23:15:12: <wizzie> Zimmer retired earlier, which nobody really cared about
23:15:29: <Dr_Currywurst> such is the fate of the lame HRT
23:15:48: <Dr_Currywurst> compared to the cool ones ... which may very well see it's last race in seven days ;_;
23:16:05: <RealRacingRoots> 4Who knows
23:16:16: <RealRacingRoots> 4Lots can change in the next weeks
23:16:27: <Dr_Currywurst> maybe
23:16:43: <Aeroracing> A broken seat for PDLR... they really are on their death throes, right?
23:16:51: <Dr_Currywurst> well, there are a number of guys out there who want to get into F1 - but do they have the money to buy the team
23:17:17: <RealRacingRoots> 4I still think my idea on the HRT thread is best
23:17:31: <wizzie> What's the full order Aerond?
23:17:58: <Dr_Currywurst> what would that idea be? can't remember now and am too lazy to look it up
23:18:19: <RealRacingRoots> 4The Canada Pension Plan buys into HRT like they've bought into MotoGP and F1
23:18:36: <Aerond> 1.Mark Dagnall
23:18:39: <Aerond> 2.David Neuberg
23:18:48: <Aerond> 3.Rosco Vantini
23:18:55: <Aerond> 4.Thomas de Bock
23:19:00: <Aerond> 5.Rhys Davies
23:19:05: <Aerond> 6.Aurelien Moll
23:19:08: <Aerond> 7.Sammy Jones
23:19:15: <Aerond> 8.Jari Kekkonen
23:19:17: <Aerond> 9.Daniel Melrose
23:19:22: <Aerond> 10.Douglas Mann
23:19:25: <Aerond> 11.Kay Lon
23:19:37: <Aerond> Frank Zimmer also classified
23:19:42: <wizzie> I think it's safe to say Spencer's career is pretty much over... if it wasn't already
