1992 LGPS Brazilian GP commentary

18:48:43: <dark77> funny how ISI made weather (which is pretty much vital in racing games these days) a feature in F1 challenge but didn't include it in rF
18:49:05: <Nuppiz> and the weather system isn't too bad either
18:49:22: <Nuppiz> it can go from dry to wet to dry again
18:49:38: <dark77> atleast they brought it back for rF2
18:49:47: <Ferrarist> Not to mention that F1C has a proper Group C mod, which rFactor hasn't
18:50:45: <dark77> you mean those le mans cars? i have a mazda 787B for rF...
18:51:00: <Nuppiz> Formula 1 97 had a funny weather system
18:51:32: <Ferrarist> Well, Prototype C not only has the Mazda 787B, but also these gourgeous 3.5l cars, like the Jag XJR-14 or the Peugeot 905
18:51:45: <Ferrarist> And of course many others. :D
18:51:48: <Nuppiz> if you set the weather to "variable", which meant that the weather could change during a session, it was always dry to wet, no randomness at all
18:51:56: <Nuppiz> and the BRM P351 :D
18:54:02: <Ferrarist> Oh yes, one of the more rejectful sportscars. It supposedly had to be hardwired, when they brought it to the grid. :D
18:55:16: <Ferrarist> Although it looked cool: http://www.dlg.speedfreaks.org/archive/cars/brm/autos/p351_c_1992.jpg
18:56:28: <dark77> wow, interesting design
18:57:51: <Ferrarist> Well, that was normal design during this era. Take this Jaguar for example: http://www.mulsannescorner.com/JaguarXJR-14-SMI3.jpg
18:58:54: <Nuppiz> in the end, José Pablo Mazzacane missed the grid by a bit more than three tenths
18:59:39: <Nuppiz> both V.I.D.A. cars were about six tenths from doing so on their home soil
19:00:13: <Nuppiz> Valentino Nicchi was second-last, three seconds from the grid
19:00:40: <Pi3141> I don't rthink Kjellerup made the grid...
19:00:44: <Pi3141> *think
19:00:59: <dark77> *sigh* we were so close in buenos aries
19:01:03: <dark77> now this
19:01:03: <Nuppiz> this was an especially difficult PQ session, because so many good cars fell on the wayside in Argentina
19:01:35: <Nuppiz> Kjellerup was 18th, 2.3 seconds from his team mate
19:02:58: <Nuppiz> Gio van Dycke, Christopher Arthurs, Danny Ramone, William Anker, Joe Gaera, Kenneth Baker, Atos Koumettou and Josip Stalic qualified
19:03:35: <Nuppiz> Shigeru Hashimoto was once again last
19:05:15: <Pi3141> What did I do wrong with my upgrades? I mean, Gaera got in, with a lot less spent on him than Mazzacane.
19:06:51: <Nuppiz> I honestly have no idea
19:07:15: <Nuppiz> based on stats alone, your car should be regularly scoring points, not mired in PQ
19:07:41: <Pi3141> OK, thats Bad Luck Mazzacane again, then.
19:08:10: <Nuppiz> anyway, Le Mans will be a SuperPrix
19:08:29: <Nuppiz> meaning all cars will qualify and we'll have a 41-car starting grid
19:12:54: <dark77> well, we have some work to do
19:14:36: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> that's not how WINSLOL works
19:14:38: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> hi btw
19:14:51: <Nuppiz> hi
19:16:07: <Nuppiz> main qualifying is currently running
19:17:50: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp is currently 5th, +0.818 from Dave Wilson
19:18:10: <Nuppiz> Algernon Bell is 25th, +3.266
19:18:20: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> now that looks good
19:18:33: <Rated> Qualifying or race ?
19:18:37: <Nuppiz> Quali
19:18:41: <Rated> Oh
19:19:06: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> 5th in the race
19:19:11: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> with +0.818
19:19:14: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> behind the leader
19:19:15: <Nuppiz> and Dave Wilson is the only driver not to use his allocated six laps
19:19:21: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> that would be cool :D
19:19:32: <Nuppiz> 25th with +3.266 would be even better :P
19:19:41: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> nah, that means SC
19:19:46: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> :X
19:19:57: <Nuppiz> but F1C doesn't have it
19:20:14: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> that's what Wurz wants you to think
19:20:46: <Nuppiz> I'm driving a friggin' bright yellow Datsun Bluebird as the series' "safety car" :D
19:21:12: <Nuppiz> http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc464/Nuppiz/F1C/Clipboard04_zpsdca567e2.jpg
19:22:19: <Nuppiz> qualifying over
19:23:19: <Nuppiz> last race's sensation, Vic SUnset, starts last
19:24:06: <captain_getz> alright, round 2 of the series in honor of the stumbling horse
19:25:53: <Nuppiz> Sunset qualified last, +4.020 from the polesitter Dave Wilson
19:26:13: <captain_getz> he still made the grid? thats still worth something
19:26:45: <Nuppiz> he skipped PQ thanks to his result in the previous race
19:27:13: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> Ah, 1992
19:27:14: <captain_getz> alright. Though I dont think beginners luck is gonna get me fro last into the top 6...
19:27:32: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> Little klon being one year old, "What Is Love" is being released and Life GP is going strong
19:27:55: <Nuppiz> What is Love was released in 1993
19:28:10: <Ferrarist> What is Love was popular...elsewhere? oO
19:28:21: <captain_getz> and andreas moda is making reject history as well :D
19:28:35: <Nuppiz> incidentally, Haddaway's next single was titled "Life"
19:29:03: <Cynon> :o
19:29:12: <Nuppiz> there's obviously a connection
19:29:17: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> Ferrarist, it reached #1 in 13 countries ... not Germany though :D
19:29:41: <dark77> i know nobody cares but prost gp isn't dead...just saying ;)
19:30:34: <captain_getz> oh good, that means I can still make a SEGA Dreamcast-themed car for that series
19:30:35: <Nuppiz> I've perfectly understood that ProstGP is now on a slight hiatus while you're trying to finish the 2015 RTCC season in time
19:30:36: <Ferrarist> Damn you Klon, couldn't you have just posted it like "No. 1"?
19:30:48: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> your fault for clicking on it :P
19:31:16: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> That, incidently, is also what she said
19:31:37: <Salamander> woop woop van der maeyede 6th :D
19:31:51: <captain_getz> so you tested the track at Le Mans? how is that working out?
19:32:00: <captain_getz> @Nuppiz
19:32:01: <Rated> Ouch, 25th. That hurts
19:32:50: <captain_getz> back of the pack for me as usual
19:32:55: <Ferrarist> Anyway, I was one year old in 1992, while Ireland started their winning streak at the Eurovision Song Contest :D
19:33:00: <Salamander> what
19:33:00: <Nuppiz> all 41 cars did their qualifying laps at Le Mans
19:33:09: <Salamander> i didint even notice donnelly 9th
19:33:13: <Salamander> since when is he that good
19:33:38: <Nuppiz> which it'll now be "SuperPrix de la Suisse" - all 41 cars will qualify for the race
19:33:41: <captain_getz> so we can have a full grid of all the cars at Le Mans then?
19:33:45: <Nuppiz> which means
19:33:51: <captain_getz> (sorry, second too late)
19:34:14: <captain_getz> we're not having it at night with cars that dont have headlights are we?
19:34:34: <Nuppiz> there was no night version of the early 90s layout
19:34:37: <Nuppiz> so no
19:35:04: <captain_getz> well its better than Bugatti circuit, though that track somehow was used for F1 in the 60s
19:35:05: <Nuppiz> it'll be at daylight, and I'll probably increase the race length a bit as well
19:35:27: <Nuppiz> from 150km to 200km, perhaps
19:35:43: <captain_getz> with or without chicanes on the Mulsanne?
19:35:48: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> so from a bit more than 10 to a bit more than 15 laps :D
19:35:48: <Nuppiz> with
19:36:17: <Nuppiz> anyway, before that we still have many races to go, most notably the Brazilian GP which is currently at hand
19:36:42: <Salamander> which will surely be an al smith 1-2 :D
19:37:03: <Rated> #VOECKLERWINSLOL
19:37:04: <Nuppiz> the formation laps has started now
19:37:11: <Nuppiz> lap, not laps
19:37:18: <captain_getz> and hoping we still race at Mugello before Ferrari grows a brain :P
19:38:44: <captain_getz> wow, the 1-2 drivers of the last race hold the bottom 2 positions for this one :(
19:39:11: <Salamander> such is the reality of lifegp
19:39:23: <Salamander> the only constant is that gio van dycke is stupidly quick
19:39:39: <Nuppiz> one light
19:39:42: <Nuppiz> two lights
19:39:46: <Nuppiz> three lights
19:39:47: <captain_getz> assuming he actually qualifies
19:39:52: <Salamander> well yeah
19:39:56: <Nuppiz> four lights
19:39:59: <Nuppiz> five lights
19:40:09: <Nuppiz> GO GO GO GO
19:40:27: <Salamander> 3 stallers!
19:40:27: <Rated> My bet on 3 stallers
19:40:34: <Salamander> beat you to it :p
19:40:37: <Nuppiz> speaking of van Dycke...
19:40:40: <Nuppiz> he stalled :D
19:40:40: <Rated> haha :P
19:40:42: <Salamander> :D
19:40:53: <Rated> Excellent.
19:40:53: <captain_getz> and the other 2?
19:41:09: <Nuppiz> lololol chaos
19:41:10: <captain_getz> is there a lake in this race to drive into?
19:41:18: <Nuppiz> no, unfortunately
19:41:37: <Nuppiz> cars going up dow right centre as they try to avoid van Dycke
19:41:48: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> you know what would be bloody hilarious?
19:41:58: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> if the Le Mans race is the first race where every car retires
19:42:17: <Salamander> that would be the best
19:42:34: <Nuppiz> lol
19:42:43: <Nuppiz> Danny Ramone found another way to retire
19:42:47: <captain_getz> sorry, was there first turn chaos?
19:42:58: <Nuppiz> his car was rolled over in the start chaos
19:43:10: <Salamander> so was van dycke the only staller
19:43:12: <Salamander> ?
19:43:16: <Nuppiz> no first turn chaos, just start chaos as people tried to find their way around van Dycke
19:43:26: <captain_getz> unless this series is the way which Ramone is trying to kill himself
19:43:31: <Nuppiz> and yes, he was the only staller
19:43:43: <Rated> The only one ? That has to be a record
19:43:50: <Salamander> no
19:43:55: <Salamander> i think theres been races where noone stalled
19:43:58: <Salamander> somehow
19:46:31: <Nuppiz> so, casualties from the start: Van Dycke stalled, Ramone rolled, Gaera lost his front wing (and also rolled but landed back on his wheels), Koumettou lost his rear wing, Bell lost his front wing
19:46:37: <Nuppiz> and Anker is in the wall!
19:46:59: <captain_getz> guess that was for the apparent lack of wing loss last race
19:47:22: <captain_getz> and is everyone gonna spin out trying to pass me again?
19:47:28: <captain_getz> (pass SUnset)
19:47:29: <Salamander> not likely
19:47:34: <Salamander> youre right at the back :p
19:47:41: <Salamander> also, have vdm or donnely made up any places?
19:47:58: <captain_getz> that didnt stop me from getting 2nd on my very first race :/
19:48:13: <Salamander> well then
19:49:21: <Rated> C'mon Bell. The team needs monies :c
19:49:29: <Nuppiz> oh oh, big crash for Anker!
19:49:36: <Salamander> oh dear
19:49:44: <Nuppiz> in the first corner on the first lap, which is why he was in the wall
19:49:45: <Rated> Wasn't he already in the wall ?
19:49:47: <Salamander> i take it hes going to the hospital then
19:50:11: <Nuppiz> Braggia clipped his rearwheel, sending him into a series of rolls
19:50:25: <Rated> holy spaghetti
19:50:34: <Nuppiz> apparently confused from this, ANker went to crash into the wall at a comically slow speed to lose his front wing
19:50:46: <Salamander> ah
19:50:49: <Rated> lol !
19:50:52: <Salamander> so no hospital trip then
19:50:55: <Nuppiz> he's still attempting to get back on the track
19:51:14: <Nuppiz> and Ramone's car is still dangerouslyon the main straight
19:51:24: <Nuppiz> might be time for some SC intervention soon
19:51:36: <captain_getz> we have a safety car?
19:51:47: <Nuppiz> yes, an old Datsun
19:51:50: <captain_getz> thought we couldnt afford that or a cleanup team
19:52:06: <captain_getz> a polski or a lada maybe, but not a datsun
19:53:05: <Nuppiz> I'll go roll Ramone's car back on its wheels now
19:53:13: <Nuppiz> so he can pit and retire
19:53:28: <Nuppiz> this is like Jong-Sung at Suzuka '91
19:54:38: <Nuppiz> done
19:54:52: <Nuppiz> not the most gentle way to do it, but effective :P
19:55:51: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> That's what she said
19:56:12: <captain_getz> im guessing you just punted Ramone's car off to the side and left it there
19:56:36: <Nuppiz> I punted Ramone's car back on its wheels
19:56:50: <Nuppiz> he's currently driving around the track to 8hopefully) pit and retire
19:56:57: <Nuppiz> (hopefully)
19:57:36: <Nuppiz> VDM and DOnnelly haven't made up any places apart from van Dycke's retirement
19:57:39: <Rated> So that makes 3 retirements so far
19:58:39: <RealRacingRoots> Okay, what's going on...
19:58:57: <Salamander> lifegp
19:59:05: <Salamander> race just started
19:59:09: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Anker has found his way back on the track
19:59:11: <RealRacingRoots> Everything happend.
19:59:16: <Salamander> yeah
19:59:22: <Nuppiz> two laps behind everyone else but Gaera
19:59:25: <captain_getz> Ramone retiring again, 1-2 finishers from last time now at the very back
19:59:33: <RealRacingRoots> Can i guess there were 4 stallers?
19:59:40: <Nuppiz> only one
19:59:42: <RealRacingRoots> wat
19:59:44: <Nuppiz> van Dycke
19:59:51: <RealRacingRoots> that's a big one
19:59:53: <captain_getz> The first corner on the other hand...
20:00:07: <Nuppiz> which caused a small chaos, among which Ramone rolled on the main straight and stayed there
20:00:33: <Nuppiz> until I intervened with my little yellow Datsun and rolled him back on his wheels so he could retire
20:00:37: <captain_getz> though it proves that this series happens to have a pace car
20:00:46: <RealRacingRoots> Looking at the engine files in GTR2, the corvette and the lambo have a 30hp disadvantage to the prodrive ferraris.
20:00:52: <RealRacingRoots> That'll need to be changed
20:01:15: <captain_getz> arent there two types of ferrari for that series? (550 and 575)
20:01:23: <Nuppiz> Ramone just retired
20:01:26: <RealRacingRoots> yeah getz
20:01:31: <RealRacingRoots> prodrive ferrari is the 550
20:01:34: <captain_getz> and too many people seem to like the barely useful Lister Storm
20:01:45: <RealRacingRoots> The lister storm has a charm to it.
20:01:54: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> have you forgotten where you are again?
20:01:57: <captain_getz> and ignoring the underdog le mans victor dodge viper
20:02:04: <Nuppiz> Roberts has a gearbox problem
20:02:15: <RealRacingRoots> Where I am klon?
20:02:35: <Rated> I could have had a lister, but decided to pick ... the 911 GT2 to make it more "realistic". Which left me on the sideline.
20:02:46: <captain_getz> oh yeah, ive played GT2 and GT3: the Lister always finishes at least a lap behind the rst of the race cars
20:02:59: <RealRacingRoots> and your team hasn't been around enough rated
20:03:06: <RealRacingRoots> sorry
20:03:10: <Nuppiz> Anker pits to replace his front wing
20:03:28: <Rated> That's why I went for the porsche
20:03:36: <RealRacingRoots> There was also that random citroen that would show up in the SSR5 enduro in GT2.
20:03:38: <RealRacingRoots> Poor guy
20:03:41: <Nuppiz> his first lap lasted a mere 5 minutes
20:04:04: <Nuppiz> two lpas behind everyone now
20:04:06: <Nuppiz> laps
20:04:30: <captain_getz> ive never seen that in GT2...
20:04:34: <Nuppiz> brb few minutes
20:05:05: <captain_getz> ive seen completely overpowerd cars in certain areas, like the GT40 in the classic car races
20:05:09: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> RealRacingRoots, I was talking to captain_getz as to why people like the Lister Storm
20:05:53: <RealRacingRoots> there was a bone stock citroen that would sometimes show up in the GT2 ssr5 enduro. I imagine someone at PD messed up a hex value by 1 for that car was suppose to be.
20:06:15: <captain_getz> like the rally car or some saxo or xsara?
20:06:42: <RealRacingRoots> pretty sure it was the xantia
20:07:36: <captain_getz> while the Storm in that game always seemed to spin out on one specific corner and drive at a far off-the-pace.... ummm, pace
20:08:03: <RealRacingRoots> the problem with the storm was that it was a obese lard
20:08:39: <captain_getz> the front looked kind of decent, if only they didnt chose the hidsous yellow and green paint job
20:08:46: <captain_getz> (hideous
20:09:10: <RealRacingRoots> they moved to a nicer black and white look before lister focused on LMP1
20:10:16: <captain_getz> indeed, though the fact that not many people chose a corvette, let alone the viper, is kinda jarring. I thought American cars were sucky enough to be reject-worthy
20:10:44: <Salamander> the corvettes are generally pretty good though
20:10:49: <Salamander> from what i recall at least
20:11:23: <RealRacingRoots> The issue is, salamander, is that the only Corvettes that were in GTR2 were the G2 spec corvettes, which were powered down a bit
20:11:26: <captain_getz> well I'll join the GTR Wc once a jaguar or aston martin shows up
20:11:40: <RealRacingRoots> Do you want on the reserve list anyways?
20:11:59: <captain_getz> well my present day team is warming up with a rallycross series
20:12:06: <captain_getz> go team Metro!
20:12:16: <Nuppiz> Roberts retires
20:12:25: <RealRacingRoots> so is that a yes, or...
20:12:50: <Nuppiz> Sunset is up into 16th already
20:12:56: <Salamander> whoa
20:12:58: <Rated> Can we have the top 5/10 please ?
20:13:21: <captain_getz> is everyone still spinning out or trying to ram my car this time?
20:13:29: <Nuppiz> VDM retired, gearbox
20:13:43: <Nuppiz> no, they're racing rather cleanly now
20:14:18: <captain_getz> @RRT yeah put me on reserve
20:14:21: <RealRacingRoots> that must mean Nuppiz's AIWs are working
20:14:22: <Salamander> DAMMIT
20:15:19: <Nuppiz> top 10, lap 6/46: Wilson, Kickert, von Gottorp, Jong-Sung, Graham, Donnelly, Arthurs, Howard, Braggia, Richardson
20:15:27: <captain_getz> so what color scheme looks better on the Austin Metro rally car? Im down to Sailor Moon or Norton Internet Security
20:15:34: <Rated> JONG SUNG ? WAT !?
20:15:56: <Salamander> come on donnelly....
20:16:13: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung qualified 7th, that's no surprise he's there...
20:16:20: <Nuppiz> the GLB is a good car
20:16:40: <Rated> He wasn't doing anything special last year
20:16:40: <Nuppiz> Kenneth Baker in his LGPS debut running 12th
20:17:54: <captain_getz> that reminds me, I should probably invest in a backup driver, probably a free agent at this point
20:20:15: <Nuppiz> di Longo is the best free agent
20:20:40: <Salamander> its a shame apostolos got a full-time drive
20:20:45: <captain_getz> i'll keep that in mind
20:20:50: <Salamander> hes perfect for this sort of thing
20:20:54: <Nuppiz> OOO
20:21:00: <Rated> crash ?
20:21:40: <Nuppiz> yes
20:21:48: <Nuppiz> Voeckler, Tenpenny and Blog
20:22:23: <Nuppiz> all cars continue, but Voeckler is without a rear wing and the other two without a front wing
20:22:34: <Nuppiz> let's see the replay...
20:23:16: <captain_getz> let me guess, my hideous car is slowly creeping up the field on the side?
20:24:00: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> VOeckler confirmed for continuing to drive? :D
20:24:04: <Nuppiz> oh, Voeckler spins at the first corner, Tenpenny and Blog simply crash into him
20:24:19: <Nuppiz> Sunset is 15th
20:24:42: <Salamander> is donnelly keeping up with the cars ahead?
20:24:54: <Nuppiz> nope, all three cars involved have called for pit stops
20:25:24: <Nuppiz> Donnelly is 7.5 seconds behind Graham
20:25:26: <Nuppiz> so no
20:26:45: <Rated> I don't know what's wrong with my team actually. Is that the driver ? the car ? Or just simple bad luck.
20:26:58: <Rated> Well, "bad luck", nowhere near Balzary's
20:27:52: <Nuppiz> the field is quite tight at the moment
20:27:56: <Nuppiz> so anything really
20:30:42: <Nuppiz> Graham in the wall!
20:31:37: <Nuppiz> no injury risk
20:32:04: <Salamander> yay another position for donnelly :D
20:32:45: <Nuppiz> and Sunset :)
20:33:18: <captain_getz> so 14th now?
20:33:23: <Nuppiz> yep
20:33:41: <Rated> Where is Bell actually ?
20:33:48: <Nuppiz> 17th
20:33:54: <Rated> Ouch
20:34:08: <Nuppiz> had to make an early pitstop for a new front wing
20:34:58: <Nuppiz> Donnelly out!
20:35:59: <Nuppiz> just a regular, undramatic spin in the first corner
20:36:37: <Rated> Probably a brake failure then
20:36:42: <Nuppiz> yep
20:36:52: <Salamander> welp
20:37:09: <captain_getz> again with one corner screwing everyone over. Do the executives for this series put oil on one corner of the course for lolz?
20:37:45: <Nuppiz> Stalic retires, gearbox failure
20:40:43: <Nuppiz> and Anker has finally overtaken Donnelly's stricken car
20:41:28: <Nuppiz> that means all cars still running (+Stalic) are safe from PQ at the next round, while both Al Smiths have to go through it
20:41:39: <Salamander> DAMMIT
20:41:53: <Salamander> then again both my cars were in the top ten
20:43:09: <Nuppiz> and Anker smashes another front wing :P
20:44:42: <Nuppiz> oh Gomes spins, and Anker hits her
20:44:58: <Salamander> oh come on
20:45:05: <Nuppiz> no visible damage to Gomes but that's another FW they need at EuroBrum
20:45:30: <Salamander> anker living up to his name there
20:45:46: <Salamander> well, first inital and surname, at any rate
20:46:53: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> hello
20:47:04: <Nuppiz> hi
20:47:05: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> may I have a sitrep on Mr. Greenwood?
20:47:12: <Nuppiz> Greenwood is currently 11th
20:47:30: <Nuppiz> loyal to his car number
20:47:32: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> cool, thanks
20:47:35: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> :D
20:47:43: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> oh, no, not THAT smiley
20:48:21: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny's engine blows up
20:49:17: <captain_getz> how easy is it to see the smiley on the side of my car Nuppiz?
20:49:22: <captain_getz> just curious
20:49:55: <Nuppiz> quite easy, actually
20:50:11: <Nuppiz> even when the camer isn't exactly closed up on it
20:50:14: <Nuppiz> camera
20:52:02: <Nuppiz> halfway point (23/46 done), top 10: Wilson, Kickert, von Gottorp, Jong-Sung, Arthurs, Howard, Braggia, Jericho, Richardson, Baker
20:53:15: <Nuppiz> 18 cars remaining
20:53:27: <captain_getz> oh, so Jericho replaces Jong Sung for Herbalife now?
20:53:53: <Nuppiz> que
20:54:17: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung has never driven to anyone else but Trabant/GLB
20:54:28: <Nuppiz> nor has Jericho driven for anyone else but Herbalife
20:54:47: <Nuppiz> Kickert out!
20:54:49: <captain_getz> huh, shows what I know about last year's season
20:55:44: <Nuppiz> bog-standard suspension/brakes failure
20:56:37: <Nuppiz> Howard out too, his car is parked right next to Donnelly's!
20:57:21: <Salamander> donnelly offers howard a piece of pie
20:57:57: <Nuppiz> and Arthurs has pitted
20:59:04: <Nuppiz> oh it's Baker, his car stopped in the middle of the track!
20:59:20: <Nuppiz> three retirements back to back!
21:00:25: <Salamander> so is gomes anywhere approaching close to a point now?
21:00:29: <Salamander> maybe?
21:00:31: <Salamander> please?
21:00:35: <Nuppiz> 10th
21:00:42: <Salamander> ehhhh
21:00:47: <Nuppiz> Greenwood now 8th, Sunset 9th
21:00:49: <Salamander> ill take that for now
21:01:01: <Salamander> shes nowhere near sunset though, is she
21:01:07: <captain_getz> oh, how is Sunset and the previous winner, Karimov, doing?
21:01:15: <Nuppiz> 10 secs
21:01:28: <Nuppiz> Karimov is 12th
21:01:29: <Salamander> thought so
21:01:56: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> 8th, eh? Looks like...*puts on sunglasses*...somebody had their Weetabix this morning!
21:02:10: <Salamander> :D
21:02:15: <captain_getz> and the other communist team (Great Leap)? I know Stalic is out
21:02:33: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung is 3rd
21:04:15: <Nuppiz> and Sunset's engine expires!
21:04:36: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> A false dawn for Sunset...
21:05:37: <Nuppiz> OOOH
21:05:47: <Nuppiz> Karimov hit's his wreck and loses a wheel!
21:06:05: <captain_getz> huh, so much for the 1-2 follow up :P
21:06:26: <Nuppiz> that's r-e-j-e-c-t-f-u-l
21:07:51: <Salamander> sooooo, gomes 9th?
21:08:02: <Nuppiz> yes
21:08:26: <Nuppiz> Bell also enter the top 10 with that
21:08:34: <Nuppiz> enters
21:09:20: <Salamander> :D
21:10:00: <captain_getz> I knew that getting 2nd in the very first race was a bad omen for future races
21:10:29: <Nuppiz> and there's a familiar sight
21:10:41: <Nuppiz> a yellow car on the side of the road
21:10:48: <Rated> Well, look at mazzacane. Finished a race on the podium last year, stuck in pre-qualifying now
21:12:15: <Nuppiz> Greenwood retired, if you didn't get it
21:12:43: <Nuppiz> Gaera enters the top 10, Bell now 9th
21:12:46: <Nuppiz> Gomes 8th
21:12:49: <Salamander> :D
21:12:52: <captain_getz> not blocking the pit exit I hope
21:13:15: <Nuppiz> nope, he pulled on the side of the road on the main straight
21:13:29: <Rated> 9th, not that bad. If the little purple car makes it to the end, we have a chance to score points again !
21:14:57: <Nuppiz> Braggia looking like bringing in points again
21:19:09: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp spins, but carries on
21:19:43: <captain_getz> oh, I needed to ask, is there a points bonus for getting fastest lap?
21:19:56: <Nuppiz> yes
21:20:30: <Nuppiz> one point, like pole position
21:20:53: <captain_getz> alright, I may wanna invest in better qualifying next time
21:20:58: <captain_getz> not set in stone yet though
21:22:37: <Nuppiz> nine laps to go, the order is: Wilson, von Gottorp, Jong-Sung, Braggia, Arthurs, Jericho, Richardson, Gomes, Bell, Gaera, Blog and Anker
21:23:14: <dark77> nice to see wilson back to winning form after a terrible race in argentina
21:23:47: <Salamander> no its not
21:24:10: <captain_getz> finally got his 4 week binge over with? :D
21:24:40: <Nuppiz> eight laps to go
21:25:28: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> FUCK

21:26:17: <Nuppiz> Powdered Deer Penis
21:26:20: <Nuppiz> nope
21:26:26: <Nuppiz> jus continuing the list :P
21:26:29: <Nuppiz> jsut
21:26:36: <Nuppiz> just, bathplug
21:26:36: <dark77> oh
21:26:38: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> I just realised Greenwood retured
21:26:40: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> retired*
21:26:59: <Ataxiiiiiiaaaa> Might request a username change to Slowpoke...
21:28:01: <Nuppiz> we're getting reports that some of the cars might've to refuel just before the end of the race
21:28:45: <Salamander> hopefully not gomes
21:28:45: <Rated> not bell pls not bell pls not bell pls
21:28:55: <Nuppiz> the top four, Richardson and possibly Jericho
21:28:59: <Salamander> :D
21:28:59: <Salamander> itd be great if she scored on home soil
21:29:46: <Nuppiz> I'm afraid Gomes has to refuel as well
21:30:36: <Nuppiz> Wilson will win regardless, unless he runs out of juice before he manages to pit
21:30:45: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> Wilson retire pls?
21:30:47: <Nuppiz> 38 secinds ahead of von Gottorp
21:30:50: <Nuppiz> seconds
21:31:13: <Rated> Damnit, no points tonight
21:31:24: <Nuppiz> and Blog is out
21:31:29: <Nuppiz> parked next to Howard
21:32:43: <Salamander> all the :/
21:33:36: <Nuppiz> three laps to go, von Gottorp's fuel situation looks most alarming
21:33:43: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> booo
21:34:20: <Nuppiz> hang on
21:34:28: <Salamander> :p
21:34:28: <Salamander> yaayyy
21:34:28: <Nuppiz> Gomes has dropped behind blog
21:34:29: <Nuppiz> Blog
21:34:34: <Salamander> what
21:34:42: <Salamander> how
21:34:44: <Rated> how ?
21:35:19: <Nuppiz> eh, Gaera I mean
21:36:14: <Nuppiz> she's just slow
21:36:26: <Nuppiz> no technical malfunction that I know of
21:37:00: <Nuppiz> Wilson on the penultimate lap
21:37:01: <Salamander> out of fuel then?
21:37:06: <Nuppiz> will the fuel last?
21:37:08: <Salamander> or low on fuel
21:37:15: <Salamander> dammit pasta
21:37:20: <Salamander> fuel your cars properly
21:37:30: <Nuppiz> not that low
21:37:50: <Nuppiz> could be the first signs of a brake failure though...
21:38:45: <Nuppiz> Wilson decides to risk it and doesn't pit to refuel
21:38:53: <Nuppiz> he'll start the last lap now
21:39:10: <Nuppiz> lol
21:39:17: <Nuppiz> he just called for a pitstop
21:39:22: <captain_getz> whose winning? Gottorp or Wilson?
21:39:30: <Nuppiz> Gottorp pits now
21:39:41: <Salamander> wilsons leading
21:40:59: <Nuppiz> pffft
21:41:11: <Nuppiz> Wilson pits on the last lap, then crosses the line to win the race
21:41:24: <captain_getz> ....weird finish
21:41:24: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> that's cheatin
21:41:30: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> immediate DSQ, pls
21:41:54: <Salamander> dsq everyone who isnt gomes
21:42:04: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> I agree in parts
21:42:05: <Salamander> she clearly wouldve taken them all to the cleaners
21:42:06: <dark77> dsq everyone who isnt nicchi pls
21:42:16: <Salamander> if her car was better
21:42:19: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> disqualify everyone whose nsurame doesn't start with g
21:42:22: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> *surname
21:42:25: <Salamander> in that it didnt break down
21:42:34: <Salamander> eh, i could go for that
21:42:42: <captain_getz> guess the tiers are back to normal this time?
21:43:06: <captain_getz> perhaps I need to join another series, one that uses cars that dont have 80% of the pack break down
21:43:52: <Nuppiz> Braggia pits on the last lap, gifting Arthurs the 4th place
21:44:19: <captain_getz> maybe you need to make the races a bit longer or shorter, so we dont have final lap cockups
21:44:39: <Salamander> nah its fine
21:44:42: <Salamander> its all fine
21:45:35: <Nuppiz> so, final results: 1. Dave Wilson 2. Leonhard von Gottorp 3. Kim Jong-Sung 4. Christopher Arthurs 5. Jose Braggia 6. Charles Jericho 7. Richard Richardson 8. Algernon Bell 9. Joe Gaera 10. Evelyn Gomes 11. William Anker
21:46:07: <captain_getz> well karma did bit me and Karimove for teh 1-2 finish, though I did a bit better than I thought I would
21:46:21: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> that's still not how WINSLOL work :P
21:46:56: <Nuppiz> lol, Jong-Sung didn't make it to the pits after finishing
21:47:24: <Rated> bah
21:48:14: <Nuppiz> he runs out of fuel on the pit entrance and gets his rear wing knocked off by Gomes
21:48:25: <Rated> DSQ !
21:49:26: <Nuppiz> if anything, Gomes would be penalized for that
21:49:37: <Nuppiz> there' was plenty of room to avoid the crash
21:49:50: <Rated> dat AI
21:51:17: <captain_getz> oh, well better luck next time. Gratz for team DayP. Im heading out
21:52:29: <Nuppiz> Fastest lap: Dave Wilson, 1:06.030 on lap 30
21:52:39: <Nuppiz> to no-one's surprise...
21:52:42: <Salamander> meh
21:52:59: <Salamander> why couldnt it have gone to someone interesting
21:53:01: <captain_getz> alright have a good day/night/whatever
21:55:08: <Nuppiz> ROTR: William Anker
21:55:30: <Rated> Unsurprisingly
21:56:00: <KlonBluehtDerEnzian> BITW: Kay Lon :P
21:56:48: <Rated> I thought there was a loan system for this season, but I was wrong
21:57	Nuppiz	yeah too much trouble in the end
21:57	Nuppiz	I'm already struggling to keep up with the current budgets
21:57	Rated	haha, no doubt
