1992 LGPS Argentine GP commentary

17:33:43: <Nuppiz> anyway, we are at the Buenos Aires track now
17:34:59: <Darkapprentice77> i've only just realized that Salamander is RetrogradeRenegade on the wiki
17:35:13: <Salamander> really
17:35:25: <Salamander> i did kind of write that it was me on my userpage
17:35:31: <Salamander> oh well
17:35:40: <Darkapprentice77> i never looked at your wiki userpage :P
17:35:50: <Darkapprentice77> well, until now
17:36:52: <Salamander> so the fact that that account singlehandedly wrote the backstories for 3 of my guys, that didnt tip you off? :P
17:37:07: <Darkapprentice77> nope
17:38:02: <Pasta> Good evening lads
17:38:48: <Nuppiz> hi
17:39:00: <Darkapprentice77> hey
17:39:39: <Salamander> sup
17:42:29: <Salamander> well that was fast
17:43:49: <Nuppiz> oh dear
17:44:00: <Nuppiz> looks like the track has problems with cars pitting
17:44:26: <Salamander> uh oh
17:44:33: <Nuppiz> so don't wonder if the qualifying has rather interesting results
17:46:34: <Salamander> sup
17:46:47: <Pasta> Who made it through Pre-q?
17:47:04: <Nuppiz> not done yet
17:47:07: <RealRacingRoots> yooo
17:47:10: <Nuppiz> I'll try to fix a problem
17:49:09: <Pasta> What problems occurred?
17:49:40: <Nuppiz> cars didn't pit
17:50:06: <Nuppiz> or they did, but weren't teleported into the garage
17:52:16: <Nuppiz> flaming heck
17:52:26: <Nuppiz> trial period of 3DSimEd has expired
17:55:08: <Salamander> what a time for that to happen... :/
17:55:21: <Nuppiz> I need that to fix XPITIN.MTS, which is most likely the cause
17:57:03: <Nuppiz> right, I found a "workaround"
18:00:16: <Nuppiz> let's just say that there's was a air control strike or something and it took a while for their planes to land :P
18:01:42: <Nuppiz> nope, didn't fix :/
18:01:50: <Nuppiz> oh well, I'll just generate times then
18:03:50: <Nuppiz> lol
18:03:57: <Nuppiz> Atos Koumettou is the fastest
18:04:43: <Pasta> Acing for Greece: Suprisingly competitive since 1992
18:05:00: <Nuppiz> other qualifiers are: Mikhail Karimov, Jan van der Maeyede, Josip Stalic, John Holmes, Maea Blog, Vic Sunset and Frederic-Maxime Voeckler
18:05:04: <Salamander> he certainly aced that :p
18:05:20: <Nuppiz> Gio van Dycke DNPQs
18:05:21: <Nuppiz> :D
18:05:42: <Salamander> :D
18:06:00: <RealRacingRoots> FloProAct, I did the Aero Kings Viper last night
18:06:18: <FloProAct> Ah, cheers. Looking good?
18:06:27: <RealRacingRoots> looks like the aston 24 winning car
18:06:40: <Nuppiz> Hashimoto was... 21st
18:06:42: <Nuppiz> and last
18:06:51: <Nuppiz> in PQ
18:07:16: <FloProAct> I guessed he wouldn't get far, but thought I may as well check in to see anyway...
18:07:43: <Herbalife> Hi guys
18:07:45: <Pasta> Oh no! What happened to Alianoplous
18:07:52: <Salamander> sup
18:08:10: <Salamander> i think apostolos is guaranteed a spot
18:08:12: <Salamander> isnt he?
18:08:42: <Herbalife> Is this Qualifying or Race?
18:09:23: <Salamander> pre-qualifying just finished
18:09:29: <Nuppiz> Apostolos was a measly 13th in PQ
18:09:34: <Salamander> aww :(
18:10:39: <RealRacingRoots> Wait, when was standing starts being added to indy races this year?
18:10:56: <Pasta> I don't know tbh
18:11:04: <Pasta> But why do you say that like its a bad thing?
18:11:28: <Pasta> And noooooooo! Apostolos! We miss you!
18:11:28: <RealRacingRoots> I don't, i say it as "when was this annouced and why no one told me" thing
18:11:48: <Nuppiz> Nicchi was 9th
18:12:03: <Salamander> ouch
18:12:05: <Nuppiz> he actually had the exact same time as Sunset and Voeckler
18:12:10: <Pasta> RRR probably wasn't announced, you know how mismanaged IndyCar is...
18:12:29: <RealRacingRoots> oh probably
18:12:48: <RealRacingRoots> Expect Sato and Bourdais to rock the starts then
18:14:05: <Herbalife> Good, because I plan on root for the both this season
18:14:15: <RealRacingRoots> aren't we all
18:14:19: <Herbalife> And Will Power, it's high time he wins the championship
18:14:31: <Herbalife> Dario Franchitti's too boring for my taste
18:14:36: <RealRacingRoots> (still considers 2012 Indy a conspiracy)
18:15:34: <AndreaModa> evening lads
18:15:40: <AndreaModa> am i late to the party?
18:15:45: <RealRacingRoots> nope
18:15:50: <RealRacingRoots> it's not f1r, so we can be honest
18:16:13: <Herbalife> Hi sir
18:16:20: <Herbalife> Yeah
18:16:27: <Herbalife> Dave Wilson has retired
18:16:39: <AndreaModa> sure ;)
18:16:40: <Herbalife> You know how unreliable are cars in this series
18:16:44: <Herbalife> Hehehe
18:16:50: <AndreaModa> you'll need to try harder than that!
18:16:58: <Pasta> If only F1R run IndyCar...
18:17:22: <Herbalife> Yuji Ide and Jean-Denis Délétraz would have a seat
18:17:24: <RealRacingRoots> I thought the rule here was if someone was late to a F1RWRS chat, then we say insane things but otherwise we are honest about races
18:17:31: <Herbalife> Just to see them both at Indy
18:17:50: <RealRacingRoots> J-D D is too busy being rather good at GT racing
18:17:58: <Herbalife> No, the actual rule is we try to screw them by telling them their drivers have retired
18:18:19: <Salamander> preferably by crashing into each other
18:18:29: <Pasta> So for instance: "Hey Wizzie, MRT just fucked up. Again."
18:18:38: <RealRacingRoots> I like my idea better
18:18:50: <Herbalife> Or "Hey Stramala, David Koczo crashed out while in the points"
18:18:54: <RealRacingRoots> Becuase stuff actually happens in every series except F1R
18:18:54: <Herbalife> lol
18:19:12: <Pasta> Woah.
18:19:18: <Pasta> Unjustified claim right there
18:19:40: <RealRacingRoots> I know pasta
18:19:42: <Nuppiz> ooh
18:19:46: <Nuppiz> guess who got the pole
18:19:55: <Herbalife> Dave Wilson?
18:20:02: <Herbalife> Or perhaps Gio van Dycke?
18:20:11: <Pi3141> Has the race started yet?
18:20:15: <Salamander> jan van der maeyede!
18:20:18: <Pasta> Pieter Kickert?
18:20:30: <Herbalife> Charles Jericho?
18:20:31: <Salamander> or possibly geoff donnelly?
18:20:31: <Herbalife> :P
18:20:33: <SuperAguri> so what race am i missing
18:20:39: <Pasta> Salamander : he said guess who took pole, not smuggled weed onto the grid! :D
18:20:43: <RealRacingRoots> LifeGPS
18:20:46: <Herbalife> Hahahaha Pasta
18:20:53: <Salamander> Pasta same difference :p
18:20:54: <Nuppiz> the veteran
18:20:58: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp
18:20:58: <SuperAguri> fair enough
18:21:02: <Salamander> bleh
18:21:07: <AndreaModa> booo
18:21:16: <Salamander> nobody cares about von gottorp
18:21:17: <Pasta> Damn, thought Kickert got a sneaky one in
18:21:25: <Pi3141> what have i missed?
18:21:28: <Nuppiz> Vic Sunset debuts at 21st in the grid
18:21:31: <Salamander> qualifying
18:21:36: <captain_getz> does anyone know if there is an active stream of this race?
18:21:39: <Herbalife> Qualifying just finished pi3141
18:21:49: <AndreaModa> yeah captain_getz
18:22:01: <AndreaModa> search for "serious trojan"
18:22:05: <AndreaModa> or something like that
18:22:13: <Pi3141> good, so I arrived in time for the race.
18:22:13: <AndreaModa> click download and voila! :D
18:22:24: <Pasta> Yup, the website that says :"100% legit cracks"
18:22:31: <AndreaModa> seriously though, no there isn't
18:22:55: <captain_getz> i'll just have to wait for the post-race highlights then
18:22:59: <Pi3141> Did my drivers qualify for Mazzacane's home race?
18:23:01: <Herbalife> I thought there was one, it's just I don't engage it because my dorm's internet keeps being an anusraptor for these kind of things all the time
18:23:31: <Herbalife> Trying to watch the F1RWRS Japanese GP streaming was painful
18:23:59: <Nuppiz> both Mazzacanes DNPQed :/
18:24:02: <SuperAguri|2> painful was a understatemenmt
18:24:25: <captain_getz> did my driver Vic sunet make the grid?
18:24:37: <Nuppiz> yeah, he's 21st
18:24:38: <Salamander> yes 21st
18:24:40: <Pasta> CaptainGetz chat rooms came before streams in RwRs race history broadcast
18:24:46: <captain_getz> where is the list?
18:24:56: <SuperAguri> yes he got out the paint and brushed those lines in
18:24:57: <Salamander> on nuppiz's computer :p
18:25:19: <Nuppiz> http://f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=224915#p224915
18:25:27: <Nuppiz> for those interested in the full results
18:25:27: <RealRacingRoots> So I'm guess we will all be here for the Oz GP Quali and Race, yeah?
18:25:36: <Pi3141> damn. Mazzacane was doing that good at winter testing.
18:25:47: <AndreaModa> haha no chance
18:25:49: <Nuppiz> well, the results are a bit random
18:25:54: <Pasta> What happened to Kickert???
18:26:01: <Herbalife> Shit, Valentino Nicchi must be really angry right now lol
18:26:02: <AndreaModa> i'll be watching the actual race RRR ;)
18:26:05: <Pasta> AND OH MY GOD JAN VAN DER MAEYEDE IN 3rd??
18:26:13: <Salamander> my car is awesome :D
18:26:17: <Nuppiz> because there was some problems with the track do I had to partly generate the results
18:26:24: <RealRacingRoots> Have fun with that AndreaModa
18:26:32: <Nuppiz> ignore that "do"
18:26:42: <AndreaModa> oh i shall
18:26:44: <Salamander> though i see donnelly was too busy scoffing pies to drive the car properly :/
18:26:53: <RealRacingRoots> Take many pics of the support classic Prototypes
18:26:54: <AndreaModa> because thanks to the BBC, I'll be in bed fast asleep ;)
18:27:04: <AndreaModa> and 20th?!
18:27:05: <RealRacingRoots> haha
18:27:07: <Nuppiz> anyway, 26 laps are waiting
18:27:08: <AndreaModa> what the hell wilson!
18:27:11: <captain_getz> wow, my patchwork peace of junk made the grid on the first try? that exceeded my expectations
18:27:12: <Herbalife> Hah, Danilo di Longo ahead of Dave Wilson :P
18:27:24: <Herbalife> To be honest I thought we were going to fare much worse
18:27:25: <captain_getz> now I need to hope if Vic can actually finish
18:28:23: <AndreaModa> haha good luck
18:28:35: <Pasta> If Fosters win another race, how annoyed will you all be... :P
18:28:45: <AndreaModa> even the best drivers/cars will retire from at least 50% of the races over the season
18:28:53: <Salamander> yeah
18:28:54: <Nuppiz> the revs are up
18:29:03: <Herbalife> Pasta that would just be a Good Call
18:29:03: <RealRacingRoots> how many stallers guys?
18:29:03: <AndreaModa> ready for a start
18:29:07: <Salamander> james davies last season retired from like 10 races he wouldve won
18:29:08: <RealRacingRoots> i'm guessing 4
18:29:13: <Salamander> 6!
18:29:14: <Nuppiz> captain_getz you better hope he doesn't end up like The Smokin' Engines last year
18:29:26: <Nuppiz> they finished only two out of the 18 races
18:29:31: <FloProAct> I'll go for 3 stallers
18:29:35: <AndreaModa> if wilson stalls i'll scream
18:29:41: <Pi3141> 5 stallers
18:29:41: <Salamander> :D
18:29:44: <RealRacingRoots> literally?
18:29:49: <AndreaModa> aye
18:29:50: <captain_getz> well thats why ive dumped most of my points into reliability
18:29:57: <AndreaModa> and figuritively
18:30:03: <RealRacingRoots> that's some stramala antics right there
18:30:06: <captain_getz> two finish first, first one must finish
18:30:08: <AndreaModa> indeed
18:30:12: <AndreaModa> what has become of me
18:30:27: <Salamander> youve turned into the very thing you despise
18:30:30: <AndreaModa> my arch nemesis is rubbing off on me
18:30:36: <AndreaModa> thats it
18:30:39: <Pasta> I just imagined a Jan van der Maeyede win.
18:30:40: <AndreaModa> might as well end it now
18:30:50: <AndreaModa> my life is not worth living any more
18:30:51: <Salamander> wouldnt mind that Pasta :D
18:30:52: <Pasta> And it was weird.
18:31:01: <Nuppiz> only two stallers
18:31:07: <Salamander> :
18:31:07: <captain_getz> well then who is gonna keep this series going? certainly not the Workers PArty...
18:31:09: <Salamander> :/
18:31:20: <RealRacingRoots> dammit, we were all wrong
18:31:25: <Nuppiz> Braggia and Anker
18:31:35: <Salamander> braggia is awful at starting
18:31:37: <Salamander> seriously
18:31:38: <FloProAct> I was closest and will claim victory
18:31:41: <Pasta> Everyone knows that if AndreaModa and Stramala met in real life they'd probably click immediately :D
18:31:48: <Salamander> :D
18:31:56: <captain_getz> how much of an eyesore is my black and purple car out on the track if I may ask?
18:31:59: <Pasta> And damn Braggia, for gods sakes
18:32:28: <Nuppiz> wow, this has to be one the cleanest starts ever
18:32:28: <RealRacingRoots> They would turn into f1's equivalanet of the game grumps Pasta
18:32:29: <Herbalife> And what if Eurobrun and Stramala met in real life?
18:32:29: <Salamander> glad i didnt sign him
18:32:30: <Herbalife> :D
18:32:38: <Nuppiz> no-one has lost a wing yet!
18:32:43: <Salamander> RealRacingRoots OH GOD NO
18:33:26: <RealRacingRoots> haha
18:33:57: <Pasta> Eurobrun and Stramala? They'd be fine until Stramala ignored eurobrun to talk to AndreaModa and eurobrun started wringing about how Stramala hasn't talked to him for the whole time we've been out
18:34:03: <RealRacingRoots> The polarizing image would be hilarious
18:34:17: <Salamander> did van der maeyede start properly, or was he too busy smoking weed?
18:34:27: <Nuppiz> Braggia has got moving AND WTF IS RAMONE DOING
18:34:48: <captain_getz> wait this is the 1992 season? does that mean we're gonna switch to Andreas Moda (the car) after it fails this year in actual F1?
18:35:19: <Herbalife> No, because the Andrea Modas are actually decent cars
18:35:25: <Nuppiz> LOL
18:35:26: <Herbalife> They just were managed by a moron
18:35:31: <Nuppiz> RAMONE DROVE INTO THE LAKE!
18:35:35: <Salamander> :D
18:35:36: <Pasta> The Andrea Moda is such a cleanly designed car it's untrue
18:35:38: <FloProAct> hahaha
18:35:41: <Herbalife> An early bath for Ramone
18:35:41: <captain_getz> well there is a Prost GP, and those cars were decent
18:35:49: <Salamander> thats highlight reel material for sure
18:35:52: <Pasta> LIFEGP strikes again
18:36:10: <RealRacingRoots> We are waiting for the DAMS to fail miserably
18:36:29: <Nuppiz> he spun at the first corner after the lake section, turned around and drove straight into the damn lake!
18:36:32: <Herbalife> Actually, the Life F190 is the biggest fail in F1 history
18:36:33: <Pasta> DAMSGP?
18:36:35: <RealRacingRoots> Then the mastercard lola
18:36:37: <RealRacingRoots> yeah pasta
18:36:49: <Pasta> More like Acronym GP
18:36:51: <RealRacingRoots> This boat. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/erikcomas_dams_gd-01_1995.jpg
18:37:28: <Pasta> With all the aerodynamic efficiency of the cross channel ferry
18:37:39: <Herbalife> That thing is massive
18:37:40: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Arthurs is without a rear wing, and Holmes has also spun
18:37:48: <RealRacingRoots> It's the perfect car of the future in the LifeGPS
18:37:56: <captain_getz> the Davis logos make me think that the University of California actually sponsored that car
18:38:30: <Pasta> Talking of French, we haven't had that many French members of F1R have we?
18:38:39: <Herbalife> Not a lot
18:38:42: <Salamander> yeah
18:38:46: <Herbalife> Only giraud springs to mind right now
18:39:06: <Herbalife> And that othjer guy who owned Philippe Nicolas
18:40:41: <captain_getz> so anything spectacular happen yet on the track?
18:41:02: <Salamander> you mean besides danny ramone driving into a lake?
18:41:08: <Pasta> Dart angina? He posted the other day in the predicament predictions thread
18:41:16: <Pasta> *Dartanian
18:41:35: <RealRacingRoots> I've had a car fly off track in GTR2
18:42:01: <RealRacingRoots> A ferrari 550 died while running at High Speed Ring, and flew over the outside wall at turn 2
18:42:24: <Nuppiz> alright, so
18:42:39: <Nuppiz> Ramone spun, and decided to take a bath
18:42:51: <Nuppiz> Stalic spun but continued as usual
18:42:59: <Nuppiz> Holes spun ad dropped almost last
18:43:05: <Nuppiz> Holmes*
18:43:25: <Nuppiz> Gomes hit Arthurs, who lost his rear wing
18:43:41: <Nuppiz> Wilson spun, causing a train of cars where Pulaski lost his front wing
18:43:55: <Nuppiz> Braggia stalled at first but then got going
18:44:04: <captain_getz> so we're back on statue quo then?
18:44:09: <captain_getz> *status quo
18:44:21: <Nuppiz> all of this except Braggia happened at the firs turn after the lake section
18:44:31: <Salamander> whoa
18:44:37: <Salamander> so much for that clean start, eh?
18:44:40: <Pasta> Captain_getz status quo?
18:44:46: <Pasta> Life GP?
18:44:53: <Pasta> Have you SEEN last years highlights?
18:44:55: <Pasta> :P
18:45:04: <Salamander> are the al smith cars doing alright?
18:45:12: <Nuppiz> Sunset is already 15th
18:45:35: <Nuppiz> VDM 2nd
18:45:40: <Nuppiz> Donnelly 17th
18:45:42: <RealRacingRoots> Cars blowing up is the status quo!
18:45:46: <Nuppiz> BRB
18:46:08: <Salamander> holy crao
18:46:09: <Salamander> crap
18:46:14: <Salamander> who stole jan's weed?
18:46:37: <Pasta> Woah! So Martin did inherit his speed from his father? In BOTH senses?
18:46:46: <Salamander> :D
18:47:45: <Nuppiz> Pulaski comes into the pits... and retires!
18:47:54: <Nuppiz> apparently something more broke in his car as well
18:47:56: <Salamander> oh well
18:48:29: <Herbalife> Apparently he has to take care of some witnesses
18:48:41: <Herbalife> Back at Las Brujas
18:48:48: <Nuppiz> Roberts... OH OH OH
18:49:01: <Nuppiz> that's some wild dancing maneuvres!
18:49:02: <Pasta> Three oh's... Stuffs gone down
18:49:52: <Pasta> so captian_getz any questions about the wider world of RWRS? Now quite a lot of people are here it's the perfect time to get a few questions answered
18:50:26: <Herbalife> captain_getz have you considered getting involved in F1RWRS by means of controlling a tyre supplier?
18:50:31: <Herbalife> That's a good way to get started
18:50:31: <AndreaModa> yeah and not get brainwashed by stramala ;)
18:50:49: <captain_getz> can you explain what you mean by a tyre support
18:50:49: <captain_getz> ?
18:50:58: <Nuppiz> di Longo off too!
18:51:06: <Herbalife> Retired?
18:51:20: <Nuppiz> no
18:51:21: <captain_getz> *tyre suppliers
18:51:28: <Nuppiz> the AI is failing at that corner I mentioned
18:51:42: <Herbalife> If I'm not mistaken, you can control a tyre supplier at F1RWRS next year
18:51:51: <Salamander> yeah you can
18:51:52: <Herbalife> And make the calls as to its budget allocation
18:51:59: <AndreaModa> yep
18:52:05: <Herbalife> To develop better qualifying tyres, rain tyres, balanced tyres, etc.
18:52:19: <Pasta> Is the
18:52:24: <AndreaModa> basically its a way of allowing those without teams who want to participate get a slice of the action
18:52:42: <Pasta> Is the legend known as Kickert carving his way through the field?
18:53:00: <captain_getz> and how do I suppose I can do that? And why should I do that?
18:53:12: <Pasta> And I know that I'll get involved as a supplier, probably Continental
18:53:30: <FloProAct> I will as well if i can
18:53:44: <Salamander> Pasta pick pirelli, you can forge even stronger ties with ibr then
18:53:45: <AndreaModa> i imagine it will go on the order of the waiting list
18:53:53: <AndreaModa> haha yeah thats true
18:53:55: <Nuppiz> Kickert is 20th
18:54:07: <Nuppiz> Wilson 18th
18:54:10: <AndreaModa> just like my latest post in the F2RWRS thread ;)
18:54:16: <AndreaModa> booo!
18:54:17: <captain_getz> there arent that many tyre suppliers, so multiple people support a single tyre manufacter?
18:54:19: <AndreaModa> come on dave
18:54:22: <Herbalife> Simple captain_getz, just ask Aerond when the thread for the new season opens
18:54:29: <Nuppiz> Sunset is up to 13th!
18:54:29: <AndreaModa> no one each
18:54:43: <AndreaModa> there'll be 4 or 5 suppliers I'd imagine
18:55:03: <captain_getz> and what are the benefits if being one of those 5?
18:55:13: <AndreaModa> btw Pasta, Rueckert has signed for Jones for 2016
18:55:20: <Pasta> AndreaModa As far as Plus One are concerned, Rueckert is a free agent :P And as for Plus one-IBR ties, I prefer to keep my eggs in as many different baskets as possible
18:55:24: <AndreaModa> tristan confirmed it in the F1RWRS chat on sunday
18:55:33: <AndreaModa> sorry :P
18:55:36: <Pasta> Fair enough then, I wasn't there :P
18:55:55: <Pasta> And I knew that was happening, but who doesn't like a bit of controversy, huh?
18:55:57: <Pasta> :D
18:56:00: <AndreaModa> very true
18:56:04: <Nuppiz> Stalic is smoking!
18:56:09: <AndreaModa> the silly season wouldn't be silly without it
18:56:15: <captain_getz> great, politics have creeped into F1 rejects as well?
18:56:28: <RealRacingRoots> because he got high,because he got high, because he got high, la de da da da nuppiz?
18:56:29: <Salamander> Pasta well then, if you pick michelin and cut gauthier a nice deal, that would certainly help Plus one-Gauthier ties :p
18:56:46: <AndreaModa> haha politics are all over the place in RWRS captain_getz
18:56:57: <Salamander> speaking of high, is van der maeyede catching von gottorp?
18:56:57: <Herbalife> But we're talking about friendly politics
18:57:00: <AndreaModa> chiefly the intense rivalry between IBR and jone
18:57:03: <AndreaModa> jones
18:57:11: <AndreaModa> which sometimes isn't very friendly :P
18:57:12: <Herbalife> It only involves petty insulting between our fictional characters
18:57:13: <Nuppiz> Koumettou... OOOH
18:57:14: <captain_getz> and I stil dont know how being a supplier for F1WRS can be any benefit to me
18:57:20: <Pasta> As for Plus one- Jones relations, Luke Knight realises they are almost non existent and is willing to work with Jones in the future
18:57:21: <AndreaModa> what do you mean?
18:57:33: <AndreaModa> captain_getz i mean
18:57:38: <Nuppiz> he spins... AND THE CAR HAS STOPPED
18:57:39: <Herbalife> captain_getz better than do nothing...
18:57:41: <Pasta> Oh no, Koumettou... You haven't?
18:57:57: <AndreaModa> and pasta, we'll see ;)
18:58:17: <Herbalife> I've read the latest batch of crap from Sammy Jones
18:58:18: <captain_getz> I might was well find some obscure or lesser known tire brand like Kumho or Hankook and be a sponsor for those
18:58:38: <AndreaModa> you have herbalife?
18:58:46: <Nuppiz> Wilson has spun too!
18:58:46: <AndreaModa> F2 thread? :P
18:58:47: <Herbalife> All I have to say is, he'll have to eat all those words when Marcel Agyemang-Badu storms to the F2RWRS title
18:58:50: <AndreaModa> bollocks!
18:59:06: <AndreaModa> at least he'll still have his dignity
18:59:11: <AndreaModa> unlike mcallister
18:59:19: <Nuppiz> he continues, though, but lost a lot of positions
18:59:25: <AndreaModa> who would drop his pants for lindsay and IBR at any opportunity
18:59:32: <Herbalife> Huh, like if Sammy Jones was that respected
18:59:35: <RealRacingRoots> nodbody?
18:59:36: <Salamander> Herbalife you seem to have misspelled jordan davies :p
18:59:43: <AndreaModa> hahaha
18:59:51: <Herbalife> Jordan who?
18:59:55: <AndreaModa> i'm disappointed with wilson today
19:00:02: <AndreaModa> this is not the form of the reigning champ
19:00:28: <Herbalife> AndreaModa I'm just being clever here
19:00:43: <Herbalife> I've got an excellent deal for my F2RWRS team next season
19:00:43: <Salamander> Herbalife future world champion jordan davies, thats who
19:00:49: <AndreaModa> by taking on badu?
19:00:51: <Herbalife> The best engines and the reigning RoLFS champ
19:01:01: <captain_getz> ok, I may get a lesser tire brand for F1WRS to sponsor. Is it allowed to allow another tire brand in?
19:01:17: <AndreaModa> i don't think you quite understand captain_getz
19:01:26: <Herbalife> You should ask Aerond about that captain_getz
19:01:29: <Pasta> As for original ideas for racing drivers, I actually came up with Atos as a homage to a tour guide in Cyprus that I was impressed by
19:01:32: <AndreaModa> i'd suggest holding fire until the rules are announced
19:01:39: <captain_getz> alright
19:01:51: <Herbalife> Pasta I thought it was an homage to the Hyundai Atos
19:01:52: <AndreaModa> i suspect aerond will release a list of tyre suppliers to choose from
19:01:53: <captain_getz> cause they got freaking Englebert as a manufacter
19:02:03: <Herbalife> A great box on wheels if ever I saw one :P
19:02:04: <RealRacingRoots> it's like getting DMACK in the WRC
19:02:05: <AndreaModa> and those who want to manage them will take their pick
19:02:17: <Pasta> Hyundai Atos? Never heard of that
19:02:18: <AndreaModa> yeah well blame eurobrun for that one
19:02:21: <Nuppiz> Kickert spun around the same time as WIlson
19:02:26: <AndreaModa> aha good
19:02:32: <Herbalife> You haven't pasta?
19:02:35: <Herbalife> How come?
19:02:37: <AndreaModa> what about that old fart von gottorp up front?
19:02:43: <Salamander> yeah
19:02:44: <Herbalife> Wait
19:02:47: <Herbalife> I'll get an image
19:03:17: <Nuppiz> almost the whole field has now failed at T4 at least once
19:03:31: <FloProAct> It was called the Atoz in the UK because Atos sounds too much like, well, a toss...
19:03:34: <Herbalife> http://www.felizestancia.net/media/cars/images/hyundai-atos-05.jpg
19:03:38: <Salamander> excellent
19:03:42: <Nuppiz> Sunset is 10th!
19:03:46: <AndreaModa> christ almighty
19:03:47: <Salamander> uuuugh
19:03:49: <Salamander> that car
19:03:50: <AndreaModa> that is an awful car
19:03:52: <Salamander> so blehhhhhh
19:03:53: <Pasta> Oh Vod, my eyes
19:03:58: <captain_getz> what mine?
19:04:02: <Ferrarist> Ahhhhh, I'm blind!
19:04:06: <Pasta> Vod? What the hell?
19:04:09: <Pasta> I meant God
19:04:11: <RealRacingRoots> it looks like a dodge neon crashed into a supermini
19:04:15: <Nuppiz> yes, your driver Getz
19:04:29: <Herbalife> And, as matter of fact, I don't know if captain_getz's username is based on the fellow Hyundai
19:04:36: <Nuppiz> hang on
19:04:38: <Salamander> Pasta i thought that was an obscure star wars reference :p
19:04:41: <captain_getz> least I fit the bill for the standards of the races in this organization
19:04:53: <Pasta> Don't knock the Hyundai, it Getz you there
19:04:59: <Salamander> oh god
19:04:59: <captain_getz> crappy cars deserve crappy designs
19:05:02: <Salamander> here we go
19:05:09: <Herbalife> Let's put an Accent on the puns then
19:05:20: <Nuppiz> OH OH OH OH
19:05:24: <Ferrarist> But hey, Aztek a look at this hideous car: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/2002-05_Pontiac_Aztek.jpg
19:05:25: <Nuppiz> BIG CRASH FOR MANTIS!
19:05:26: <Salamander> 4 ohs
19:05:28: <Salamander> this is big
19:05:34: <FloProAct> You might even get to Santa Fe...
19:05:37: <RealRacingRoots> i see what you did there ferrarist
19:05:44: <Salamander> GAH WHY
19:05:46: <Nuppiz> at turn 7
19:05:47: <AndreaModa> hilarious...
19:05:47: <Salamander> WHY FERRARIST
19:05:55: <Salamander> WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING
19:06:03: <Nuppiz> Mantis flies over the barriers and into the scenery!
19:06:15: <Herbalife> The car that possibly killed Pontiac
19:06:15: <Ferrarist> Because I wanted to make a good pun involving the Pontiac Aztek :D
19:06:16: <Darkapprentice77> bathplug how much have i missed?
19:06:39: <Salamander> van der maeyede being a boss
19:06:44: <captain_getz> I never even heard of that car before. My reference in my name is more obscure than that
19:06:47: <Salamander> hes still second tight nuppiz?
19:06:50: <Salamander> right?
19:06:54: <Pasta> Who took a look at that Pontiac and thought, this.l sell?
19:06:57: <RealRacingRoots> Although some people call it the Asstek
19:07:02: <Nuppiz> VDM? yes
19:07:13: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Mantis is being taken to a hospital
19:07:16: <Ferrarist> In contrast, here's the Buick Rendezvous, based on the same platform at the Aztek: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/04-07_Buick_Rendezvous_.jpg
19:07:31: <Herbalife> Still looks bad
19:07:33: <Pasta> captain_getz have you ever heard of the RWRS driver Martin van der !aeyede?
19:07:34: <RealRacingRoots> the front is uninspiring, but the rear..
19:07:34: <captain_getz> Top Gear US said that the aztek is one of those cars that looks so bad that it'll become a cult classic
19:07:36: <Herbalife> Just like all modern Buicks
19:07:42: <Pasta> *Martin van der Maeyede
19:07:43: <Salamander> is VDM cataching von gottorp or falling behind?
19:07:47: <RealRacingRoots> they're kinda right captain_getz
19:07:55: <Nuppiz> falling behind
19:08:01: <Salamander> oh well
19:08:05: <Nuppiz> and would you mind a bit less off-topic? :P
19:08:14: <Herbalife> Plane talk!!!
19:08:15: <RealRacingRoots> planes?!
19:08:21: <Salamander> NO NO NO NO NO
19:08:23: <Salamander> NO PLANES
19:08:25: <Salamander> NEVER PLANES
19:08:27: <Salamander> NEVER AGAIN
19:08:29: <Atax1a> hello hello...I have returned from the land of laptoplessness
19:08:31: <Nuppiz> I'll ban you if you start talking about planes
19:08:36: <Salamander> THAT
19:08:48: <Nuppiz> I GOT'S THE POWAH
19:08:55: <AndreaModa> NO PLANES
19:08:56: <RealRacingRoots> What about trains? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DjOL2we8ko
19:08:58: <captain_getz> I was gonna make next season's car laid out like a SEGA Gensis/Mega Drive, but I thought that would be too professional looking
19:09:04: <Pasta> Herbalife that'll go down like a plane on fire....
19:09:28: <Atax1a> A Megadrive style car would be cool though...
19:09:39: <Salamander> RealRacingRoots gotta love asdf :D
19:09:50: <captain_getz> so I went for the "I threw this together with parts from last season in about 5 minutes" look
19:09:57: <Salamander> captain_getz that would be the best thing ever
19:09:59: <RealRacingRoots> so no planes, but trains are okay?
19:09:59: <Salamander> the megadrive
19:10:12: <Herbalife> Nuppiz I can ban you from the forum if you ban me from here
19:10:17: <Salamander> as long as its asdfmovie trains
19:10:24: <Herbalife> Do you really want to engage in a fight you can't win? :P
19:10:24: <Salamander> OOOOOHHHH
19:10:26: <Salamander> STANDOFF
19:10:34: <captain_getz> it would say "16 bit" on the front wing
19:10:52: <Pasta> Trains? That'll do #minorityinterests
19:10:56: <Nuppiz> pff
19:11:02: <Atax1a> We have an inexhaustible supply of Weetabix in our pit garages...who needs fancy canapés?
19:11:07: <captain_getz> and for the U.S. races I'd just change the name back to Genesis and paint the nose cone red instead of gold
19:11:19: <captain_getz> just be an anorack
19:11:23: <captain_getz> *just to be
19:11:27: <Nuppiz> actually, VDM catched von Gottorp a bit on the last lap
19:11:33: <Salamander> yay :D
19:11:38: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Holmes is having a gearbox problem
19:11:53: <Nuppiz> I guess his stick is too big
19:12:20: <Nuppiz> and Rookie Karimov is in 3rd!
19:12:26: <Atax1a> oo-er...
19:12:26: <Pasta> Oh my god, come on Jan...
19:12:32: <Herbalife> He can't make the gears stick
19:12:34: <Nuppiz> *rookie, without capitulization
19:13:12: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny fourth, Blog fifth
19:13:20: <Nuppiz> Richardson sixth
19:13:26: <Darkapprentice77> gutted that we didn't make the grid when we were so close
19:13:38: <Nuppiz> OOOO
19:13:40: <Nuppiz> nope
19:13:51: <Nuppiz> Graham having a bit of two-wheel action there
19:13:59: <Nuppiz> with SUnset
19:14:24: <captain_getz> the guy from last place?
19:14:41: <captain_getz> that is quite shocking to see two backarkers fight for 10th
19:14:49: <Nuppiz> Rachel Graham, Team Sandinista female driver
19:14:53: <Salamander> pretty sure graham is a woman :p
19:14:57: <Salamander> yeah
19:15:19: <captain_getz> is my car still look like crap with its wings gone?
19:15:24: <captain_getz> *does my car
19:16:02: <Atax1a> before I go make dinner, where's Greenwood?
19:16:07: <Nuppiz> it didn't suffer any damage
19:16:17: <Nuppiz> only the wheels touched each other
19:16:32: <Nuppiz> Atax1a 8th
19:17:14: <Atax1a> sweet, thanks
19:17:26: <Atax1a> I'd best get some food then, tirrah
19:17:36: <Pi3141> How many cars are still in the race?
19:17:44: <Nuppiz> 20
19:17:54: <Nuppiz> 21 if you count Holmes' limping Restov
19:18:22: <Nuppiz> Richardsooooooon
19:18:47: <Nuppiz> Holmes' car has stopped
19:18:54: <Nuppiz> Richardson spun but continues
19:20:37: <Nuppiz> and Graham's engine blows up!
19:21:09: <captain_getz> it got really quiet all of a sudden. Everyone holding their breath?
19:21:19: <RealRacingRoots> i'm eating foods
19:21:44: <Pi3141> Any news on Mantis? That crashed sounded quite bad.
19:21:55: <Nuppiz> Richardson smoking... and he's out!
19:22:00: <Nuppiz> Mantis is in hospital now
19:22:37: <Salamander> VDM still catching von gottorp?
19:22:52: <Nuppiz> no, he lost a lot of time behind Holmes
19:23:01: <Salamander> DAMMIT HOLMES
19:24:31: <Nuppiz> Wilson is last, 18th
19:24:45: <Salamander> not a good day at all for the reigning champion
19:25:33: <AndreaModa> good god
19:26:07: <captain_getz> what, is my Andrea/Zeroforce frankencar still going?
19:26:19: <Nuppiz> yes
19:26:23: <Nuppiz> 9th, actually
19:27:11: <Nuppiz> as is Zeroforce which is in 6th
19:28:54: <Nuppiz> Sunset and Roberts touch each other, but no visible damage
19:30:09: <Nuppiz> Wilson... he spins again!
19:30:30: <Nuppiz> oh DOnnelly has retired
19:30:43: <Salamander> bah he just cant be bothered anymore
19:31:21: <Nuppiz> yeah sure looks like it, as he basically just parks the car on the side of the road
19:31:44: <Herbalife> Wilson has retired?
19:31:58: <Nuppiz> nope, still going
19:32:11: <Nuppiz> about to earn the ROTR title
19:32:51: <AndreaModa> dear dear
19:32:57: <AndreaModa> what an embarrasment
19:33:06: <Salamander> LIFEGP
19:33:11: <Nuppiz> is he still having a hangover from the victory celebrations?
19:33:17: <AndreaModa> i guess so
19:33:25: <AndreaModa> those east londoners party hard
19:33:28: <Herbalife> Those three last events have been terrible for AndreaModa's interests
19:33:46: <AndreaModa> who's been taking payments from stramala?
19:33:50: <AndreaModa> come on
19:34:01: <Herbalife> I run nothing so it can't be me
19:34:15: <RealRacingRoots> better question
19:34:18: <AndreaModa> ah but you control the forum
19:34:22: <RealRacingRoots> who hasn't been taking payments from stramala
19:34:27: <AndreaModa> so you make sure what gets posted and what doesn't ;)
19:34:40: <captain_getz> I dont think I have enough rep yet to catch his eye
19:34:51: <Herbalife> Yeah, well, I could threaten to ban the people who runs the series
19:34:51: <Nuppiz> why you looking at me like that? :P
19:34:55: <Herbalife> But I don't do that ;)
19:35:12: <Salamander> certainly not me...
19:36:11: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny and Roberts spin
19:36:15: <Nuppiz> and Jonh-Sung
19:37:32: <Nuppiz> both still continue, just T4 taking its toll again
19:37:59: <AndreaModa> must be some fictional oil down
19:38:11: <RealRacingRoots> fictional oil?
19:38:17: <RealRacingRoots> is this nascar 2012 at the glen again?
19:38:29: <AndreaModa> well its not really down
19:38:34: <AndreaModa> so its imaginative
19:38:49: <Nuppiz> actually, they take the turn too sharply and jump a bit because there's a small hill on the inside of the curve
19:39:11: <Nuppiz> that's what makes them spin
19:39:27: <Salamander> so basically just plain old incompetence
19:39:32: <Salamander> as usual
19:39:37: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Gottorp is running away with it
19:39:42: <Nuppiz> over 8 seconds ahead
19:39:44: <Salamander> oh piss
19:39:45: <AndreaModa> i blame piss poor argentine construction
19:39:56: <Nuppiz> VDM too has a large gap to Karimov
19:40:10: <Salamander> hopefully this race will end like last years did
19:40:14: <Salamander> with the dominant race leader retiring
19:40:29: <Salamander> except this time i will profit!
19:40:29: <Nuppiz> Greenwood retires
19:40:30: <Herbalife> We all know many races will end like that Salamander
19:40:39: <Nuppiz> I guess the name change didn't help
19:40:46: <Nuppiz> the team
19:41:47: <Nuppiz> ooh flames
19:41:53: <Nuppiz> his engine blew up
19:42:58: <Nuppiz> VOECKLER IN POINTS!
19:43:03: <Nuppiz> he's 6th
19:43:18: <Salamander> oh god
19:43:25: <AndreaModa> help us all
19:43:26: <Herbalife> Stramala won't be happy
19:43:34: <Herbalife> Voeckler is supposed to be rejectful!
19:43:46: <Herbalife> Whether it's the father or the son
19:44:01: <Nuppiz> meanwhile WIlson does the first good thing in this race by overtaking di Longo
19:44:12: <Herbalife> Damn
19:44:13: <Nuppiz> for 14th...
19:44:16: <AndreaModa> yes!
19:44:17: <Herbalife> Why it had to be my driver?
19:44:53: <AndreaModa> it was always going to be your driver ;)
19:46:02: <Nuppiz> Bell has a bit of action, but continues without losing a position
19:46:48: <Nuppiz> Kickert spins... AND HIS RACE IS OVER!
19:46:50: <Salamander> is gomes doing anything?
19:46:55: <AndreaModa> yes!
19:46:55: <Salamander> oh dear
19:47:00: <Salamander> welp
19:47:13: <Nuppiz> Gomes is 8th
19:47:23: <Salamander> nice
19:47:25: <AndreaModa> wilson is coming back to the points baby!
19:47:32: <captain_getz> just what happened to Wilson and Fosters? They have been having a bad time since qualifying....
19:47:38: <Herbalife> Until he screws up again AndreaModa...
19:47:47: <AndreaModa> no chance
19:48:01: <AndreaModa> the old man is back ;)
19:48:02: <Salamander> too much drinking or something
19:48:05: <Herbalife> It's not like there's a specific limit for fail
19:48:08: <Nuppiz> at the moment the ROTR is still going to Ramone
19:48:09: <Salamander> nah
19:48:29: <Nuppiz> because, who the fuck gets so lost that he drives into a damn lake?
19:48:53: <captain_getz> shoule ya put that on Life GP's stats page on F1alternate? a ROTR for each race?
19:50:02: <Nuppiz> Blog spins and loses a position to Bell
19:50:13: <Nuppiz> yeah might add that column to the race table
19:51:14: <Nuppiz> Sunset is now 7th
19:51:23: <Nuppiz> just outside the points
19:52:24: <AndreaModa> wilson just wanted to make the race a bit more challenging
19:53:11: <Nuppiz> he just overtook Tenpenny btw
19:53:19: <Nuppiz> Wilson I mean
19:53:25: <Nuppiz> now 12th
19:53:45: <captain_getz> *looks at race schedule for 1992 season* wait, we're having an open-wheel race at Le Mans?!
19:53:52: <Salamander> yes
19:53:53: <Herbalife> With Lifes
19:53:54: <Salamander> life gp
19:54:01: <Herbalife> This is bound to be epic
19:54:08: <Herbalife> Is it the chicaneless version?
19:54:16: <Nuppiz> can do that if you want
19:54:21: <captain_getz> probably have it at night, make it even more stupidly spectacular
19:54:26: <Salamander> thats going to be...
19:54:29: <Salamander> interesting
19:54:32: <Nuppiz> currently I have the chicane version installed
19:55:11: <Nuppiz> unfortunately there's a night version available only for the chicane version
19:55:21: <captain_getz> I'd vote for with the chicane, cause even though Life is a crappy excuse for an F1 car, it still has the characteristic of not having a high top speed in mind
19:55:27: <Herbalife> I actually prefer it at night
19:55:47: <captain_getz> @Nuppiz just make sure you leave the lights on the course, since F1 cars dont have headlights...
19:55:56: <Herbalife> Lights?
19:56:01: <Herbalife> Who needs lights anyway?
19:56:29: <captain_getz> ....we're gonna drive cars with no headlights down backroads in the middle of France at midnight???
19:56:30: <Nuppiz> Wilson seems to have waken up from his slumber
19:56:35: <Salamander> the light emanating from on fire engines is light enough
19:56:46: <Nuppiz> currently battling with Howard for 11th
19:56:55: <AndreaModa> come on dave
19:56:58: <AndreaModa> do it for the lads
19:57:02: <Salamander> go off dave
19:57:08: <Salamander> do it for everyone else
19:57:19: <Nuppiz> and we have a Voeckler train
19:57:29: <Salamander> oooh
19:57:34: <Salamander> possible points for gomes
19:58:04: <Nuppiz> any mistake from the cars in positions 5-12 and a position change is guaranteed
19:58:16: <Nuppiz> Blog being in 5th a bit ahead of Voeckler
19:58:40: <captain_getz> though calling the Le Mans race the Swiss GP is a bit of a low blow. Thars like calling a race at Daytona or Indianapolis the Mexican or Cuba GP
19:58:59: <Herbalife> You see, there was once a Swiss GP at Dijo-Prenois
19:59:13: <Herbalife> And the Luxembourg GPs at the Nürburgring
19:59:25: <Nuppiz> Tenpenny has C.R.A.S.H.E.D.
19:59:26: <Salamander> and san marino gps at imola
19:59:32: <Herbalife> lol
19:59:56: <captain_getz> yeah, but the nurburg and all those other tracks dont have a century-long history like Le Mans does
20:00:16: <Herbalife> The Nürburgring comes close
20:00:23: <Salamander> yup
20:00:30: <Herbalife> Anyway, I'm going to have dinner
20:00:37: <Herbalife> See you in a while
20:01:23: <Nuppiz> Wilson overtakes Howard
20:01:39: <captain_getz> now all we need is a Spanish GP at the Targa Florio, since Nurburg is still taken by the FIA at this point
20:01:57: <captain_getz> are a French GP at Charade
20:02:04: <Nuppiz> hmm
20:02:04: <captain_getz> *or a French GP
20:02:30: <Nuppiz> if it bugs you so much I can swap the names of the Paul Ricard and Le Mans races :P
20:02:56: <captain_getz> nah, i'd rather build up suspense by having Le Mans later in the calendar
20:03:13: <Nuppiz> yeah, I only meant names
20:03:37: <captain_getz> though I am glad you somehow got the Germans to put the AVUS course back up. It better have insane banking
20:03:50: <Nuppiz> it's the early 90s DTM version
20:04:05: <Nuppiz> so no banking I'm afraid
20:05:08: <captain_getz> oh well, though with this series budget, the banking probably be made of 50 year old wood anyway
20:05:35: <Nuppiz> but it has a temporary chicane at thich the AI likes to be very rejectful :P
20:05:40: <Nuppiz> at which
20:05:55: <Salamander> was the norisring not an option, nuppiz?
20:06:02: <Nuppiz> Roberts has a gearbox problem
20:06:15: <Nuppiz> AVUS is more rejectful than Norisring
20:06:36: <Salamander> fair enough
20:06:48: <Nuppiz> IFRC can go to the good tracks, while LGPS aims at the more rejectful ones with a few exceptions
20:07:04: <captain_getz> so thats a no-go for 60s courses like Charade?
20:07:41: <Nuppiz> It's a no-go because I only have the old version of Charade which was shut down in the 80s
20:08:29: <Nuppiz> and I'm not into using anachronistic tracks in either of my series
20:08:49: <captain_getz> well how popular is the new circuit?
20:09:21: <Nuppiz> I can't find a working link for the newer version of Charade
20:09:51: <Nuppiz> A 3.86 km (2.4-mi) abbreviated version of the circuit is still in operation, hosting races like Formula Three.
20:09:58: <Nuppiz> that's what I'm looking for
20:10:13: <captain_getz> yeah thats the one
20:10:43: <captain_getz> well how is the race right now going?
20:11:22: <Nuppiz> Wilson just overtook Braggia and Howard and is now 9th
20:11:46: <captain_getz> slowly creeping up. Unless playing then hungover reject was just a ruse
20:11:54: <captain_getz> *playing the hungover
20:12:57: <Nuppiz> Roberts has finally retired
20:13:35: <Nuppiz> and now Wilson overtook Gomes
20:13:43: <Nuppiz> his next target is Sunset
20:13:58: <captain_getz> crap, so much for the sunday drive
20:15:11: <Nuppiz> Von Gottorp has nearly caught up the Blog-Voeckler train
20:15:42: <Nuppiz> all cars from 5th to 13th are within 10 seconds
20:15:58: <AndreaModa> bahaha
20:16:04: <AndreaModa> points are MINE
20:16:10: <captain_getz> closer than I thought
20:17:21: <Nuppiz> and Wilson overtakes Sunset
20:17:51: <Nuppiz> Bell is in the pits
20:18:03: <Nuppiz> he has a gearbox problem
20:19:35: <Nuppiz> Braggia overtakes Howard and GOmes
20:21:05: <Nuppiz> and WIlson just throws his race away by spinning at - you guessed it - T4
20:21:12: <Salamander> LD
20:21:14: <Salamander> :D
20:21:14: <Salamander> YES
20:21:17: <Salamander> HAVE THAT
20:21:27: <Nuppiz> he drops last and is lapped by von Gottorp, but can still continue
20:21:37: <AndreaModa> ah bugger
20:21:39: <captain_getz> is this the course with or without the long sweeping semi-oval?
20:21:46: <Nuppiz> wit
20:21:48: <Nuppiz> h
20:23:16: <Nuppiz> Sunset is now in points but harassed by Braggia
20:23:24: <Salamander> how about gomes
20:23:29: <Nuppiz> 8th
20:23:30: <Salamander> is she hanging in there?
20:23:42: <Nuppiz> in the same train
20:23:47: <Salamander> great
20:24:12: <captain_getz> is Braggia on the same lap as my guy?
20:24:23: <Nuppiz> GOTTORP
20:24:27: <Nuppiz> HAS RETIRED
20:24:31: <Salamander> :D
20:24:32: <Salamander> YES
20:24:37: <Nuppiz> yes, Braggia is on the same lap
20:24:38: <Salamander> GET IN THERE JAN
20:25:15: <captain_getz> deja vu?
20:25:40: <Nuppiz> gearbox
20:25:57: <Nuppiz> Bell retires too with the same reason
20:26:16: <AndreaModa> bahaha
20:26:30: <AndreaModa> wilson just likes to keep you all on your toes ;)
20:26:38: <Nuppiz> di Longo is missing his rear wing!
20:26:49: <Nuppiz> and Jong-Sung is in the wall!
20:26:56: <AndreaModa> :D
20:27:17: <Nuppiz> let's see the replay
20:28:01: <Nuppiz> oooh
20:28:04: <Nuppiz> huge crash
20:28:27: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung rear-ends di Longo and proceeds to roll twice
20:28:40: <Salamander> yikes
20:28:56: <Salamander> are either of them going to hospital?
20:29:19: <Nuppiz> di Longo can make it to the pits, looks like he isn't too badly hurt
20:29:35: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung, though is taking a trip to the hospital
20:29:56: <Nuppiz> Wilson going wiiiiiide
20:30:03: <Herbalife> God, I rejoin and this is what I see
20:30:06: <AndreaModa> noo
20:30:13: <Nuppiz> and he crashes out from the race!
20:30:14: <AndreaModa> keep it on the black stuff dave
20:30:17: <Salamander> hey dont worry herbalife
20:30:17: <AndreaModa> bollocks
20:30:21: <Salamander> wilson is backing to being a fail
20:30:28: <Herbalife> I see
20:30:36: <Salamander> and jan van der maeyede is leading :D
20:30:43: <captain_getz> we now return to normal retire rates I see
20:30:43: <Herbalife> I've been reading the log up until this point after returning
20:31:09: <captain_getz> still not ROTR (Wilson)?
20:31:23: <Salamander> did he drive into a lake?
20:31:30: <Nuppiz> nope
20:31:32: <Herbalife> He still has time :D
20:31:36: <Salamander> theres your answer
20:31:37: <Salamander> :D
20:31:55: <Nuppiz> in the barriers, lost his rear wing and stopped immediatedly
20:32:10: <Pi3141> who?
20:32:12: <Salamander> still, he has to be considered
20:32:14: <Nuppiz> Wilson
20:32:14: <Salamander> dave wilson
20:32:25: <Salamander> the reigning champion no less
20:32:37: <captain_getz> both Gottorp and Wilson are out?
20:32:38: <Herbalife> So much for recovering
20:32:40: <Nuppiz> and with di Longo retiring as well, that means only 8 cars are still circling the track
20:32:53: <Nuppiz> Getz, yep
20:33:02: <Herbalife> Argh a chance at points gone begging
20:33:08: <Herbalife> Who took out his rear wing?
20:33:13: <Salamander> but gomes is only 7th, right?
20:33:14: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung
20:33:28: <Nuppiz> who proceeded to roll a couple of times after that
20:33:31: <Herbalife> Stupid North Korean
20:33:37: <Herbalife> Well deserved
20:33:38: <Nuppiz> and is being taken to the hospital
20:33:40: <Herbalife> For being a noob
20:34:04: <Nuppiz> yes Gomes is 7th
20:34:18: <Nuppiz> VAN DER MAYEDE RETIRES!
20:34:23: <Salamander> NOOOOOOOO
20:34:46: <Nuppiz> they're dropping like flies now!
20:35:14: <Nuppiz> engine
20:35:22: <Salamander> blast :/
20:35:38: <Nuppiz> MIKHAIL KARIMOV OF UZBEKISTAN LEADS!
20:35:58: <Herbalife> Oh God
20:36:04: <Salamander> dammit
20:36:11: <Salamander> somebody get up there and stop him
20:36:23: <Nuppiz> Gomes spins!
20:36:28: <Salamander> oh come on
20:36:33: <captain_getz> guess its up to the patchwork nightmare to take first
20:36:43: <Salamander> :D
20:37:07: <Nuppiz> Still carrying on though
20:37:25: <Salamander> yeah but now shes probably not gonna be better than 6th
20:37:32: <Salamander> unless of course more cars retire
20:39:04: <Nuppiz> 20/26 completed, the order is: Karimov, Blog, Voeckler, Sunset, Braggia, Howard, Gomes
20:39:19: <Salamander> voeckler on the podium :O
20:42:39: <Nuppiz> Braggia spins, losing a position to Howard
20:44:02: <Nuppiz> Gomes has a gearbox problem and will retire soon
20:44:16: <Herbalife> Wait, a Voeckler on the podium?
20:44:27: <Herbalife> Stramala is going to have an apoplexy
20:44:43: <Nuppiz> and Gomes retires
20:44:53: <Herbalife> No one gives a toss
20:45:09: <Herbalife> And congratulations to captain_getz for Vic Sunset is 4th!!!
20:45:12: <captain_getz> I wonder how the other crews feel to see my junkyard car still running
20:45:18: <Herbalife> Now he needs to finish the race
20:45:32: <Nuppiz> six cars remaining
20:45:37: <Herbalife> For a debutant driver for a rookie team managed by a newcomer is very impressive
20:45:42: <Nuppiz> that means everyone is guaranteed points
20:45:55: <captain_getz> what is there a 90% rule?
20:45:59: <Nuppiz> no
20:46:00: <Herbalife> Yes
20:46:03: <Herbalife> No?
20:46:13: <Nuppiz> top 6 will always score points
20:46:38: <Nuppiz> no matter if the drivers retired much before the race's end,
20:47:23: <Nuppiz> last season had a few occasions like that
20:47:34: <Nuppiz> three laps to go
20:47:48: <Nuppiz> like the English Grand Prix
20:48:13: <Nuppiz> Blog has a gearbox problem!
20:48:41: <Salamander> whoa
20:48:55: <Salamander> i think this might be a podium for you captain_getz
20:49:53: <Nuppiz> VOECKLER!
20:49:57: <Nuppiz> HE'S OFF!
20:50:15: <Nuppiz> AND OUT!
20:50:17: <Salamander> oh god
20:50:24: <Herbalife> He's a Voeckler
20:50:28: <Salamander> now we just need karimov to retire
20:50:28: <Herbalife> It was bound to happen
20:50:40: <Salamander> please retire karimov
20:50:47: <Herbalife> Now let's see how will Stramala take it
20:50:48: <Herbalife> lol
20:50:49: <Salamander> it will be the best thing
20:52:27: <Nuppiz> and what is Blog doing
20:52:37: <Salamander> btw how far ahead of sunset is karimov?
20:52:47: <Nuppiz> he's driving against the pitwall...
20:53:00: <Herbalife> Beats driving into a lake
20:53:06: <Salamander> :D
20:54:39: <Nuppiz> 15 seconds
20:54:45: <Salamander> whoa
20:54:51: <Salamander> thats really good
20:55:07: <Salamander> come on karimov's engine....
20:55:11: <Salamander> you know you want to blow up
20:55:44: <Nuppiz> last lap
20:55:53: <captain_getz> here we go...
20:57:32: <Nuppiz> last corner...
20:57:55: <AndreaModa> dun dun duuun
20:58:05: <Nuppiz> and Mikhail Karimov wins the Argentine Grand Prix!
20:58:35: <Nuppiz> Sunset is home second, 11.310 seconds behind
20:58:36: <Darkapprentice77> Uzbekistan's first international motorsport win, i think
20:58:56: <captain_getz> god damn, it did not expect this outcome, for Sunset or the whole race
20:59:02: <Nuppiz> Howard 3rd, 12.357
20:59:03: <AndreaModa> first and last :P
20:59:22: <Nuppiz> Braggia 4th, 13.381
20:59:29: <captain_getz> wohooo! first podium on my first ever outing!
20:59:34: <Salamander> aww
20:59:39: <Salamander> i wanted sunset to win :(
20:59:41: <Nuppiz> and Blog is still imping around the track to take 5th
20:59:44: <Nuppiz> limping
21:00:11: <captain_getz> i'll take this outcome anyday. Now I feel like most of the grid wants my neck now...
21:00:12: <Salamander> wouldve been the best thing ever
21:00:48: <AndreaModa> wilson isn't a happy chappy
21:01:13: <Salamander> im just happy wilson was a total fail and van dycke dnpq'd
21:01:25: <Salamander> and von gottorp retired
21:01:28: <captain_getz> this is gonna be one hell of a highlight video
21:01:55: <Herbalife> By the way, how did van Dycke DNPQ?
21:02:07: <Herbalife> He seemed to be very fast in preseason testing
21:02:15: <Herbalife> The car, I mean
21:02:25: <Nuppiz> didn't get a good lap in
21:03:05: <Pi3141> How did Mazzacane DNPQ?
21:03:20: <Nuppiz> same reason
21:03:40: <Nuppiz> the track had problems with pitting, so it was gamble who got a good lap in
21:03:55: <captain_getz> well congrats to Karimov and to everyone who was able to finish (though I feel like having a single digit number of finishers will be the norm like last year :/)
21:04:45: <Nuppiz> ha, according to the game Ramone and Mantis finished :P
21:05:14: <Nuppiz> it's a glitch caused by the fact that they went out of the track boundaries
21:05:25: <captain_getz> well I need to head ut now, I got some stuff to do IRL. Thanks for all of the advice and being good sports in this race.
21:05:40: <Nuppiz> Ramone is +25 laps and has an average speed 6.79 km/h
21:05:43: <Nuppiz> bye
21:05:53: <captain_getz> see ya all back at the forums!
21:08:09: <Nuppiz> Fastest lap: Leonhard von Gottorp, 1:48.051 on lap 2
21:08:18: <Nuppiz> ROTR: Danny Ramone
21:08:40: <AndreaModa> haha wilson was so bad he couldn't even win that
21:09:05: <Nuppiz> well, the crash wasn't his fault
21:09:18: <Nuppiz> the brakes failed, just like at the first race of last season
21:10:16: <Herbalife> Ramone's race has been an absolute washout
21:10:38: <Salamander> water way to go...
21:10:52: <AndreaModa> hahaha
21:11:05: <AndreaModa> he'll be drowing in his own despair
21:11:12: <AndreaModa> drowning*
21:11:23: <Herbalife> An early bath for him
21:11:46: <Pi3141> Were the crashes of Mantis and Jong Sung caused by stupid driving or by brakes problems?
21:11:47: <Salamander> not the splash he wouldve wanted to make
21:12:30: <Nuppiz> brakes
21:12:51: <Nuppiz> although in Mantis' case it's not listed because he went out of bounds
21:13:01: <Nuppiz> but I could see that on the replay
21:16:09: <Nuppiz> and that ends our coverage
21:17:00: <AndreaModa> cheers nuppiz
21:17:05: <AndreaModa> good work as always
21:17:24: <Nuppiz> ty
21:17:51: <Herbalife> OK, if nothing else is going to be discussed I'm off
21:18:12: <Nuppiz> I guess not
