1992 LGPS US West GP commentary

15:23:16: <Klon_Rules> good morning everyone
15:23:23: <Nuppiz> ah Klon
15:23:28: <Nuppiz> just in time for the LGPS race
15:23:28: <Shadaza> >morning
15:23:49: <Klon_Rules> wopdidoo, Angula confirmed to retire 14 laps from the end
15:25:01: <Nuppiz> well, you might reconsider pulling out from the sport next season
15:25:14: <Nuppiz> as Namibia is very likely to host a race next season
15:25:15: <Klon_Rules> huh?
15:25:32: <Klon_Rules> ... okay, that track I wanna see :D
15:25:46: <Nuppiz> http://www.gdecarli.it/php/circuit.php?var1=3305&var2=2
15:26:03: <Nuppiz> that was just released for rFactor, and is being converted for F1C
15:26:41: <Nuppiz> http://www.dlg.speedfreaks.org/tracks/africa/windhoek.html
15:28:24: <Nuppiz> so
15:28:49: <Nuppiz> we have the audience, I've had dinner, and the dog shouldn't need to go out for the next few hours
15:28:53: <Nuppiz> time to start the race
15:29:33: <Klon_Rules> fuggen awesome!
15:29:40: <Klon_Rules> that track sure looks top class
15:29:41: <Rated> :o
15:30:16: <Nuppiz> stallers?
15:30:21: <Klon_Rules> 3
15:30:30: <Rated> 4
15:31:01: <Klon_Rules> Stramala, am I still on RWSCC podium :D
15:31:54: <Nuppiz> only one!
15:31:58: <Nuppiz> Carlos Marquez
15:32:13: <Nuppiz> OOOH CRASHUU!
15:32:18: <Shadaza> what is your time Klon_Rules?
15:32:25: <Nuppiz> KICKERT AND MAZZACANE!
15:32:42: <Klon_Rules> 4:08.77
15:32:55: <Shadaza> well you are 4 seconds up on me
15:32:58: <Shadaza> and I am 5th
15:33:14: <Klon_Rules> I could have probably pushed it to 4:07.something but I really couldn't be arsed anymore :D
15:34:18: <TheDutchBear> Good morning, afternoon or evening, whatever applies.
15:35:47: <Nuppiz> clearly Mazzacane's fault
15:36:34: <Nuppiz> he tried to dive in at turn one but Kickert was already turning in as well, resulting in a collision
15:37:17: <TheDutchBear> How many laps into the race so far?
15:37:29: <Nuppiz> first lap just finished
15:37:36: <Nuppiz> out of 54
15:37:55: <TheDutchBear> Long way to go then.
15:39:46: <Nuppiz> Davies leads, J. Voeckler second, Wilson third, van Dycke fourth, Van der Maeyede fifth, Arthurs sixth, Graham seventh, Ramone eighth, Jong-Sung ninthCRASHUUU!
15:40:52: <Stramala> J E V
15:40:57: <Stramala> so uh
15:41:00: <Stramala> where the hell is Freddy?
15:42:39: <Klon_Rules> ded?
15:44:28: <TheDutchBear> He started tenth, at least he did start. Arnason didn't, again.
15:44:38: <Nuppiz> F. Voeckler's car fails, Jong-Sung hits it and his car slid upside down to the side of the track
15:45:12: <Nuppiz> Jericho hits Voeckler and loses his front wing
15:45:26: <Nuppiz> as does Howard and Tenpecost
15:45:36: <Nuppiz> Sunset hits Voeckler so hard that he loses a wheel
15:46:14: <Nuppiz> Madunochev hits Sunset and also loses a wheel!
15:46:29: <Nuppiz> and finally Vitkin hits Sunset to lose his front wing
15:47:01: <Nuppiz> four cars out on the spot and another four require a pit stop for a new front wing
15:48:04: <Nuppiz> VDM blows up!
15:49:03: <Rated> bah
15:49:05: <TheDutchBear> Championship contenders retiring, it could be interesting.
15:50:03: <Nuppiz> Ramone's engine fails as well!
15:52:04: <Nuppiz> Jericho hasn't yet replaced his front wing
15:52:35: <Rated> He's trying the kickert approach
15:52:50: <weirdkerr> blah....
15:53:08: <Nuppiz> and Dave Wilson is quite literally on fire!
15:53:15: <Rated> OH !
15:53:37: <Nuppiz> there's no way he can finish, but he's still struggling along
15:54:51: <TheDutchBear> As long as his engine is running, he can continue.
15:55:01: <Nuppiz> Jericho pits for a new front wing
15:55:18: <weirdkerr> what race is happening?
15:55:40: <Nuppiz> Blog is stuck in fifth gear
15:55:43: <Nuppiz> weidkerr LGPS
15:55:50: <Nuppiz> weirdkerr*
15:56:03: <weirdkerr> oh ok...
15:56:23: <Nuppiz> and Wilson's car gives up
15:57:08: <TheDutchBear> Stuck in fifth gear isn't bad on the oval, on the road course however..
15:58:16: <Nuppiz> Blog retires
15:58:25: <Nuppiz> Angula's car is on fire now!
15:58:35: <Nuppiz> looks like the track is not kind on the engines
15:59:26: <Nuppiz> Davies without a front wing!
15:59:30: <TheDutchBear> Retirement fest:)
15:59:39: <weirdkerr> or the engines are not very reliable
16:00:28: <Rated> they are about as reliable as a Prost AP03 now :P
16:01:10: <Nuppiz> oooh
16:01:18: <weirdkerr> hmmm
16:01:28: <Nuppiz> Davies hit Blog as the latter was about to enter the pits and retire
16:01:48: <Nuppiz> very amateurish from the Welshman, there was more than enough room to avoid the accident
16:02:59: <Nuppiz> Angula's engine fails, Howard hits the wreck and loses his front wing
16:03:29: <Klon_Rules> wopdidoo
16:03:43: <Nuppiz> and that was lap 8/54
16:04:02: <Pi3141> Is the race already over?
16:04:13: <TheDutchBear> How many cars are still running?
16:04:44: <Nuppiz> 16
16:05:02: <Nuppiz> we're only on lap 9/54 now
16:05:34: <Pi3141> Are Mazzacane and Balivernes still in the race?
16:06:41: <Nuppiz> Mazzacane crashed out in the first corner
16:06:43: <weirdkerr> lol
16:06:54: <Nuppiz> Balivernes is 7th
16:07:07: <captain_getz> alright, Life GP's first wever race on a banked ciruit
16:07:09: <Nuppiz> Sunset crashed out a couple of laps later
16:07:09: <weirdkerr> wish next Tuesday would hurry up
16:07:11: <captain_getz> *circuit
16:07:49: <Nuppiz> Davies falls down to 5th as a result of his unplanned pitstop
16:08:04: <Nuppiz> J-E Voeckler leads the race
16:09:13: <captain_getz> damn it! and I added more to reliability too...
16:10:01: <Nuppiz> van Dycke second, Graham third, Arthurs fourth, Davies fifth, Braggia sixth, Balivernes seventh, Richardson eighth, Sun ninth, Anker tenth, Bell eleventh, Roberts twelfth, Tenpecost thirteenth, Jericho fourteenth, Howard fifteenth, Vitkin sixteenth
16:10:48: <Nuppiz> Voeckler starts lap 12/54
16:11:45: <Nuppiz> Anker stuck in fourth gear, will retire
16:12:13: <Nuppiz> Braggia has blown up!
16:13:58: <Nuppiz> and so Anker retires
16:14:17: <Aeroracing> Could you remind me in which circuit are we racing again?
16:14:33: <Nuppiz> Phoenix International Speedway roval
16:15:04: <Klon_Rules> roval
16:15:11: <Klon_Rules> I sure enjoy roval racing
16:15:26: <Nuppiz> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Phoenix_International_Raceway_road_course.svg
16:15:31: <Aeroracing> You know, a bit more primitve and those cars would have to be rowed lel
16:15:50: <Klon_Rules> Row, row, row you car, gently down to the straight
16:16:33: <SuperAguri> Brake, brake, brake, brake, don't smash into the guardrail.
16:17:46: <Klon_Rules> wyh does he get OP and I don't
16:17:55: <Nuppiz> Davies overtakes Arthurs for fourth
16:18:03: <Aeroracing> Because Jews, Klon_Rules
16:18:05: <SuperAguri> cause he is more important then yous
16:18:20: <Aeroracing> Besides, your rep sheet is shit
16:18:26: <Klon_Rules> Aeroracing, it's always Jews with you, isn't it?
16:18:30: <Aeroracing> Yes
16:18:41: <Aeroracing> I almost look like that racist German fuck who wanders the forums
16:18:58: <Klon_Rules> No, Aeroracing, you are the racist German fuck
16:19:17: <Aeroracing> Nope, I'm the Spanish guy who can't pay his debts and is untrustworthy
16:19:20: <SuperAguri> i thought Phoenix was a spaniard
16:19:30: <Nuppiz> Davies past Graham and is now 3rd?
16:19:32: <Nuppiz> *!
16:19:34: <Klon_Rules> SuperAguri, he lied to you
16:19:38: <Klon_Rules> he's as German as I am
16:19:39: <Klon_Rules> :D
16:19:47: <Aeroracing> Yeah, my IP is also lying
16:20:00: <Aeroracing> Well, actually, for all you know, I could be Joey Zyla
16:22:54: <Nuppiz> and now James Davies passes Gio van Dycke for 2nd!
16:23:05: <SuperAguri> so am I missing anything important in the FxRWRS world?
16:24:28: <Nuppiz> Sam Sun is in the wall!
16:24:30: <Klon_Rules> Rumours say Darth Vader is looking at taking over the Kamaha F3RWRS team :D
16:24:36: <Klon_Rules> but aside from that, no
16:25:18: <Shadaza> the Roblomas is back in buisness
16:25:39: <Aeroracing> Has he posted something Picard-worthy?
16:25:45: <Shadaza> nope
16:25:48: <Shadaza> not yet
16:25:51: <Nuppiz> apparently because of a brake failure
16:25:54: <Aerond> SuperAguri Nope, your team is still a shite
16:25:55: <Aerond> :D
16:26:51: <SuperAguri> I feel Aerond doesn't like me :P
16:27:25: <Klon_Rules> that's what he says
16:27:36: <Aeroracing> Don't worry, Aerond doesn't like anybody
16:27:38: <Klon_Rules> and in truth the Kamaha guys are going to finish 2nd and 3rd behind Dagnall
16:27:40: <Aeroracing> Except me, of course
16:27:49: <Klon_Rules> nobody likes you Aeroracing
16:27:52: <Klon_Rules> not even I
16:27:53: <Aeroracing> Because I've been the only one so far to move his lazy ass to see him peform :D
16:27:53: <Klon_Rules> :p
16:28:23: <Aeroracing> Klon_Rules your appreciation is pretty insignificant
16:28:35: <SuperAguri> as long as the Kamaha can get to the end of the race then we will get podiums a plenty
16:28:49: <Aeroracing> Yeah, but the thing is, how often?
16:29:00: <Aerond> :p
16:29:02: <SuperAguri> hopefully at least every other race
16:29:09: <Nuppiz> van Dycke retires!
16:29:11: <Aerond> We'll see this weekend
16:29:12: <Aeroracing> Still, I'm putting Kamaha 5th in the Constructors Championship in my predictions
16:29:37: <SuperAguri> so are a lot of people @D
16:29:38: <Aerond> Aeroracing don't forget predicament predictions
16:30:08: <SeedStriker2> Ok, who's impersonating me?
16:30:17: <Shadaza> Aeroracing, you didn't vote for a calendar for Formula Community, but you did post in the thread
16:30:18: <SuperAguri> some bastards are putting Kazama as first retirement
16:30:24: <Nuppiz> umm
16:30:30: <Shadaza> I am going to close the vote soon
16:30:47: <Nuppiz> I think you'd accidentally left another connection on :P
16:31:09: <SeedStriker2> Oh...
16:31:11: <SuperAguri> register your nick :P
16:32:07: <seedstriker> That's better.
16:32:26: <seedstriker> Old machine glitches
16:33:26: <Nuppiz> Graham retires!
16:33:31: <SuperAguri> See Mad Uncle Melrose is clinging onto power in Tropico
16:33:54: <Aerond> Aeroracing don't forget predicament predictions
16:34:18: <Nuppiz> that's definitely a brake failure
16:34:30: <Aerond> Aeroracing don't forget predicament predictions
16:34:35: <Aerond> That, until I get an answer
16:34:36: <Aerond> That, until I get an answer
16:34:38: <Aerond> That, until I get an answer
16:34:40: <Aerond> Aeroracing don't forget predicament predictions
16:34:42: <Aerond> :p
16:35:34: <SuperAguri> so has Klon made a new CR Motorsport livery? :D
16:36:48: <Klon_Rules> aye
16:37:04: <Klon_Rules> and I actually like it rather much
16:37:05: <Nuppiz> Davies catching up his teammate J-E Voeckler fast
16:37:15: <Nuppiz> he might still retake the lead!
16:37:50: <SuperAguri> what is the Golden Papaya?
16:37:57: <Nuppiz> 7th
16:38:24: <Aerond> Where's the predictions thread
16:38:26: <Aerond> ?
16:38:35: <Klon_Rules> http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6393
16:38:53: <Nuppiz> oooh, JEV stuck in fourth gear!
16:39:09: <Nuppiz> Davies retakes the lead while his team mate is forced to retire!
16:39:11: <SuperAguri> and MLP?
16:39:18: <Klon_Rules> best rookie
16:39:24: <Klon_Rules> i.e. Kazama
16:39:40: <Aerond> Teams that pass PQ - 3 points
16:39:47: <Aerond> Should be 4
16:39:51: <SuperAguri> ie? Surely that is the only answers
16:39:52: <Aerond> One per correct answer
16:40:20: <Stramala> nooooo
16:40:41: <Klon_Rules> SuperAguri, that's what i.e. stands for :P
16:41:54: <Nuppiz> James Davies is a lap ahead of everyone *again*
16:42:40: <SuperAguri> indeed you are right
16:43:28: <Nuppiz> 24 laps to go, 10 cars remaining
16:43:43: <captain_getz> are who are those?
16:45:13: <captain_getz> *and
16:45:22: <Stramala> finally, THE RUSH is finished
16:45:33: <Stramala> warning: it's even faster than Sidewinder :D
16:45:48: <Stramala> btw TheDutchBear are you still planning to enter RWSCC?
16:46:48: <Nuppiz> 1. James Davies. 2. Christopher Arthurs +1 lap 3. Jean-Pierre Balivernes +2 laps, 4. Richard Richardson +2 laps, 5. Will Roberts +2 laps, 6. Ronald Tenpecost +2 laps, 7. Algernon Bell +3 laps, 8. Marky Howard +3 laps, 9. Charles Jericho +3 laps, 10. Dimitry Vitkin +4 laps
16:46:58: <Nuppiz> my goodness Vitkin is SLOOOOOOW
16:47:00: <TheDutchBear> Yes I am. Last time I forgot to email the replay.
16:47:19: <Stramala> there is still 2 hours and 15 minutes until the deadline for Monaco :D
16:48:00: <Klon_Rules> meh - I'll most likely stay third in the championship, that'S all I care for :D
16:48:15: <Pi3141> Also, are you still interested in the Apollon team?
16:48:19: <SuperAguri> deadline for what?
16:48:29: <Klon_Rules> RWSCC
16:48:38: <Klon_Rules> download trackmania and get on it
16:49:09: <TheDutchBear> Just sent the replay.
16:49:44: <Nuppiz> 20 laps to go
16:50:20: <TheDutchBear> Oh, got the mail address wrong. Hang on a minute.
16:50:41: <SuperAguri> RWSCC>
16:51:55: <TheDutchBear> Yes, i know. Stramala, that is my real name off this forum.
16:52:11: <Stramala> I don't have an email :D
16:52:13: <Stramala> ok
16:52:16: <Stramala> maybe will just take another minute
16:52:23: <captain_getz> so is Vic back at Prequalifying for the next race?
16:52:35: <Stramala> rwscc@outlook.com
16:53:02: <Nuppiz> he should be safe
16:53:30: <captain_getz> at least thats one thing Blokkmonsta can get right
16:53:57: <Stramala> who is your email provider? I still don't have anything, and with everyone else I get their times within 60 seconds of them sending it
16:54:13: <Pi3141> Did you get my replay?
16:54:14: <Nuppiz> the only car that is currently about to score points and is in prequalifying is Richard Richardson's #34 EuroBrum
16:54:43: <Nuppiz> and that 4th place is not enough to change anything
16:55:02: <Nuppiz> but let's just see wait until the race is over
16:55:05: <captain_getz> well how do you excape prequali? since Vic seemed to get out pretty quickly
16:55:11: <Stramala> ah there we go.
16:55:15: <captain_getz> *escape
16:55:16: <TheDutchBear> Gmail, it should be fine now.
16:55:17: <Stramala> Yes, I have a time for Jules Connes...
16:55:37: <Nuppiz> in the first half of the season, it was the top 20 cars of each race
16:55:50: <Nuppiz> now it's the top 20 cars based on championship standings
16:58:06: <Nuppiz> meanwhile further back, Marky Howard overtakes Algernon Bell for 7th
16:59:13: <Nuppiz> 15 laps to go
17:03:15: <Stramala> Shadaza, is the Auricom calendar winning now a given?
17:03:49: <Nuppiz> Davies is now two laps ahead of the second-placed Arthurs
17:04:10: <captain_getz> im still against having a 10k buyin for a calendar thats not even the most expensive choice
17:04:36: <Nuppiz> 10 laps to go
17:06:14: <Nuppiz> Howard retires, brake failure
17:06:49: <Nuppiz> Roberts overtakes Richardson for 4th
17:11:06: <Nuppiz> five laps to go *yawn*
17:12:12: <captain_getz> wait, now theyre dropping the New Jersey GP?
17:12:22: <Klon_Rules> the rumors say so
17:12:24: <captain_getz> why is FOM announcing all of these changes now?
17:12:48: <Pi3141> And Hermanos Rodriguez is roumored to return next year.
17:12:56: <Shadaza> yup
17:13:00: <Shadaza> Auricom have it
17:13:03: <captain_getz> but can they get that course up to speed in time?
17:13:05: <Nuppiz> three laps
17:13:28: <Shadaza> with a Moscow opener in the place of Jerez
17:13:31: <Ataxia> If Sr. Slim invests, there will be no reason that they can't
17:13:40: <Ataxia> Mexico would be great
17:13:56: <Pi3141> As the race would take place in November, they have 15 months, that should be enough.
17:14:06: <Nuppiz> penultimate lap
17:14:10: <captain_getz> @Shadaza who suggested switching Jerez for Moscow?
17:14:14: <SuperAguri> And James Davies has a moment and is into a crash barrier :P
17:15:05: <Nuppiz> last lap
17:15:09: <captain_getz> and im sure Tilke will have to redo Austria and Rodriguez to get the courses to F!A standards
17:15:13: <captain_getz> *FIA
17:15:24: <Ataxia> Austria's fine, I think
17:15:28: <Pi3141> No, Austria is fine.
17:15:30: <Shadaza> Salamander, Stramala agreed to the change, with Salamander paying the bill
17:15:31: <Nuppiz> please, no tampering with Hermanos if possible
17:15:37: <Ataxia> that, Nuppiz
17:15:45: <Ataxia> it's a cracker of a layout
17:15:51: <captain_getz> and is Austria still trying to build that expansion to it?
17:15:51: <Pi3141> And who says Tilke would modernize Hermanos Rodriguez?
17:16:01: <Ataxia> I don't think so, no...
17:16:07: <Pi3141> The track only needs more runoff areas.
17:16:09: <Shadaza> Hermanos needs some major refurbishment
17:16:26: <Shadaza> it has largely fallen into disrepair
17:16:39: <Ataxia> hopefully, the Red Bull Ring remains as is
17:16:43: <captain_getz> ehnce why I dont think Mexico can get the course done in time either
17:16:44: <Nuppiz> aaand James Davies wins the 1992 Life Grand Prix of Western United States!
17:16:59: <Ataxia> it's Mexico...they'll be fiiiiine
17:17:06: <Pi3141> Well, remember Korea?
17:17:26: <Pi3141> They didn't even have a track a few months before the Grand Prix.
17:17:39: <captain_getz> hmm, good point
17:17:55: <captain_getz> but Russia is still in for sure?
17:18:17: <Ataxia> seems so
17:19:09: <captain_getz> well Austria is pretty small. Will there be enough room for the whole grid to stretch out?
17:19:35: <Nuppiz> 1. James Davies, 0:51.39.484
17:19:39: <Pi3141> Of course, Interlagos, Monaco and Hungaroring are even smaller I think.
17:19:40: <Nuppiz> 2. Christopher Arthurs, +2 laps
17:19:59: <Nuppiz> 3. Jean-Pierre Baliverners, +4 laps
17:20:13: <Nuppiz> 4. Will Roberts, +4 laps
17:20:23: <captain_getz> I vote Davies gets a handicap of some sort
17:20:25: <Nuppiz> 5. Richard Richardson, +4 laps
17:20:44: <Nuppiz> 6. Ronald Tenpecost, +4 laps
17:20:51: <Nuppiz> 7. Algernon Bell, +5 laps
17:20:51: <Pi3141> 3rd, finally a good result for Mazzacane Motorsport again.
17:21:04: <Nuppiz> 8. Charles Jericho, +5 laps
17:21:13: <Nuppiz> 9. Dimitry Vitkin, +7 laps
17:21:23: <SuperAguri> +7 laps? :o
17:21:25: <Pi3141> Vitkin is so slow...
17:21:32: <Nuppiz> actually, Vitkin was not classified
17:21:39: <SuperAguri> was he driving Noddys car?
17:21:40: <captain_getz> lel
17:21:49: <Rated> aw my points scoring streak has ended
17:21:49: <Pi3141> not classified due to slowness?
17:21:54: <Nuppiz> he finished, but didn't complete enough laps to be classified :P
17:22:19: <Nuppiz> his average speed was 20 km/h slower than Davies'
17:22:26: <captain_getz> oh, he didnt make the 90% rule?
17:22:56: <Nuppiz> no, he only completed 87% of the race distance
17:23:03: <captain_getz> lmeo
17:23:05: <Nuppiz> and was not among the last six cars remaining
17:23:20: <Nuppiz> so that's a big fat NC for him
17:23:31: <Shadaza> I can't believe teams have voted for the option that taxes everybody
17:23:49: <captain_getz> Im going to propose we dont do that in the thread
17:23:51: <Nuppiz> another hattrick for Davies
17:25:20: <Shadaza> captain_getz, any vote on that will happen much later, for now I will take 10k off everyone. Though you could refuse to pay it >:D
17:25:47: <Nuppiz> Fastest lap: James Davies, 0:54.680 on lap 36
17:25:53: <captain_getz> well as long as its not 10k every season, then i'll protest
17:25:53: <Nuppiz> ROTR: Pjotr Madunochev
17:26:03: <captain_getz> *otherwise i'll protest
17:27:18: <Shadaza> also Escalona's shares are going to put up for auction
17:27:25: <Pi3141> What did Madunochev do?
17:28:16: <Nuppiz> crashed into Vic Sunset's wreck
17:28:24: <Shadaza> since entering the series onxy wrecked hasn't voted on anything or made anyother posts
17:28:32: <Nuppiz> even though there was no way he couldnt have seen it
