1991 LGPS English GP commentary

19:40:19: <HerrmannMann> Hello!!
19:40:30: <Nuppiz> guten abend
19:40:44: <HerrmannMann> hyvää iltaa Nuppiz
19:41:22: <Nuppiz> kiitos samoin, HerrmannMann
19:41:46: <Nuppiz> rain predicted for the race
19:42:00: <HerrmannMann> Brollies out people
19:42:07: <AndreaModa> am I a bit early?
19:42:12: <Nuppiz> Current conditions: Overcast
19:42:15: <HerrmannMann> Hoping Pieter can win today
19:42:21: <ZeroForce> Rain ? Perkele.
19:42:24: <Nuppiz> Projected conditions: Raining
19:42:27: <HerrmannMann> Hi Andrea, the race hasn't started yet!
19:43:08: <Nuppiz> and won't start soon, have to go to sis urgently
19:43:22: <Nuppiz> don't know why, will be back as soon as possible
19:43:48: <HerrmannMann> Is that sis as in sister? /excusemyincompetence
19:44:08: <AndreaModa> ah right cool stuff
19:50:17: <RockTheCasbah> Hello? :S
19:50:24: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> hello
19:50:39: <HerrmannMann> Hello, Nuppiz had an important engagement
19:51:41: <RockTheCasbah> I'm guessing the race is either delayed or posponed?
19:52:54: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well then...
19:53:09: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> time to discuss how the world will end :P
19:54:49: <HerrmannMann> The world will end with the noise of everyone discussing whether or not it will end
19:54:52: <Quetzalcoatl> ladies, gentlemen and others
19:55:31: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> So it's the world ending by world-ending meta discussions?
19:55:50: <HerrmannMann> Yep.
19:56:13: <HerrmannMann> The vibrations caused by everyone talking about the end of the world will tear the planet apart
19:56:17: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> somewhat disappointing
19:56:25: <HerrmannMann> We must act fast!
19:56:32: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> it means the nerds win
19:56:38: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> :D
19:56:48: <HerrmannMann> Slap everyone in the face who threatens to talk about the end of the wrold, thus bringing about it's destruction!
19:57:29: <Atax1a> World won't end tomorrow.
19:57:38: <Atax1a> I'll put a fiver on it.
19:58:11: <HerrmannMann> Of course it won't!
19:58:28: <HerrmannMann> The whole story stinks of bullshit more than a bull's arse
19:58:32: <RealRacingRoots> If we have a problem, if no one else can help and you can find them, maybe we can hire the A-Team. The A-Team will solve the apocalypse.
19:59:03: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> "A-Team" ... I only want the Ace-Team
19:59:08: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JEXWE5NgAo
19:59:11: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> :D
19:59:19: <RealRacingRoots> I'm okay with this.
19:59:40: <HerrmannMann> Aaah, the A-Team
19:59:52: <HerrmannMann> Anyone see the film a couple of years ago?
19:59:59: <RealRacingRoots> I did.
20:00:10: <ZeroForce> Mr.Excitement
20:00:31: <RealRacingRoots> Johnny Ace was hilarious.
20:00:39: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> indeed he was
20:00:59: <HerrmannMann> It was quite a decent effort actually
20:01:01: <RealRacingRoots> Still, Seth Rollins and Tyler Black are now on tv. So I am happy.
20:01:02: <ZeroForce> I miss Johnny Ace
20:01:10: <RealRacingRoots> seth rollins and dean ambrose
20:01:13: <RealRacingRoots> damn
20:01:17: <Pi3141> Hello, has the race already started?
20:01:43: <ZeroForce> Maaaan, Dean Ambrose looks so talented
20:01:50: <ZeroForce> Not yet Pi3141
20:02:08: <RockTheCasbah> Nada
20:02:12: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> maybe we ought to have John Laurinitis as executive vice president of talent relations in some RWRS team :D
20:02:29: <HerrmannMann> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQ
20:02:32: <HerrmannMann> :D
20:02:48: <RealRacingRoots> I can't believe the indy stars now in WWE to some extent: Punk, Bryan, Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro, Ohno, Neville
20:03:15: <RealRacingRoots> Is that Iron Sheik in that video?
20:03:20: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> ties in perfectly with the conspiracy copypasta I once made about RoH being controlled by Triple H behind the scenes :D
20:03:34: <Atax1a> A note to anyone interested: eichy's officially giving away his F1RDS team...would anyone like to take this space? If you're waiting for an RWRS team slot, it's a good way to get your foot in the door
20:03:51: <Pi3141> I would like to enter the series.
20:03:52: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> I mean its R - o - Haitch
20:04:07: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> und "roh" is German for "raw"
20:04:17: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> it all makes sense :D
20:04:24: <Pi3141> I am currently only involved in the Spa Superprix in F3RWRS
20:04:25: <RealRacingRoots> I'm surprised Steen beat Generico at final battle 2012.
20:04:57: <Nuppiz> back
20:05:25: <RockTheCasbah> Huzzah! :)
20:05:30: <Atax1a> Ok, Pi3141...just put all your team info into the F1RDS thread and what you'd like for a livery. You can choose to start afresh or take on Autobahn's old results...your call.
20:05:39: <Darkapprentice77> what have i missed
20:05:45: <HerrmannMann> Hooray!
20:05:47: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> a discussion about John Laurinitis
20:05:51: <Nuppiz> she phoned my mum from work, was unsure whether or not she remembered to turn off the oven...
20:05:54: <RealRacingRoots> The A-Team.
20:06:11: <HerrmannMann> Hehe.... :D
20:06:22: <Nuppiz> now that's checked, and the dog's had his evening walk, so onwards to the race!
20:06:42: <Nuppiz> three races in Britain, and two of them have had rain
20:06:51: <Nuppiz> lovely British weather
20:06:51: <ZeroForce> No cliché.
20:07:16: <Atax1a> by lovely, you mean hateful ;)
20:07:31: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Atax1a, that implies rain is bad
20:07:35: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> it isn't
20:07:44: <RockTheCasbah> I like British weather...:(
20:07:47: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> I love rain - Ireland is nice, it rains a lot
20:07:56: <Atax1a> um...it is. especially if you don't own a car
20:08:06: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> man up :P
20:08:19: <Atax1a> NO.
20:08:33: <HerrmannMann> Rain= good when you have a coat, bad when you don't...
20:08:35: <Atax1a> I don't own a coat either
20:08:41: <RockTheCasbah> Oh god...
20:08:47: <RealRacingRoots> I've worn shorts in a Canadian winter, I am a man.
20:09:03: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> HE'S A MAN
20:09:06: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> SUCH A MAN
20:09:14: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> HE'S A REAL, A REAL MAN'S MAN
20:09:15: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> .D
20:09:15: <RealRacingRoots> Such a man.
20:09:25: <RealRacingRoots> Oh regal.
20:09:54: <Nuppiz> we have three stallers
20:10:06: <Nuppiz> Zaugg, Mazzacane and Wilson
20:10:10: <ZeroForce> BUT OF COURSE
20:10:19: <Atax1a> £5 Balzary retires before the 10-lap mark
20:10:24: <RockTheCasbah> Hahaha Wilson!
20:11:01: <ZeroForce> Retired from 6th with only a lap to go, then stalls. MEH !!??
20:12:28: <HerrmannMann> Is it actually raining?
20:14:33: <Nuppiz> not yet
20:14:40: <Nuppiz> but it will soon
20:14:55: <Darkapprentice77> this will be good
20:15:09: <TMLW> Has it started yet?
20:15:23: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> indeed it has
20:15:31: <AndreaModa> FACK SAKE
20:15:36: <Nuppiz> Ramone retires with brake problems
20:16:03: <AndreaModa> wilson is never going to win the title at this rate
20:17:00: <Nuppiz> After the first lap, the top 10 is: Kickert, Fernandez, von Gottorp, Graham, Arthurs, Jong-Sung, Balivernes, Roberts, Yoshino, Yazaki
20:17:20: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> yeah, go old man, kick their rears
20:17:39: <HerrmannMann> Yes! Go Kickert!
20:17:44: <TMLW> Go Pieter!
20:17:51: <RockTheCasbah> Go Sandinista!
20:18:13: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> dammit, should've written "Kick Kickert"...
20:18:22: <Darkapprentice77> Go Von Gottorp!
20:18:56: <Nuppiz> John Smith is on fire, literally
20:20:31: <Nuppiz> and there's his car stopped on the track
20:20:43: <Nuppiz> I can see some wreckage around him
20:23:59: <Nuppiz> Alianopoulos and Vitkin lose their front wings by crashing into Smith's wreck
20:24:03: <Darkapprentice77> ouch
20:24:21: <Darkapprentice77> nuppiz what was the most boring life gp race so far?
20:24:21: <Nuppiz> they were among the last cars anyway...
20:24:26: <Nuppiz> Spa
20:24:32: <HerrmannMann> Alianopoulos has driven for 6 teams now, there has to be a seventh willing to take him on for teh lulz
20:25:00: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> He's #1 on the reserve list should something happen to Leonhard
20:25:21: <Darkapprentice77> i suggest if you can find knockhill for gp4 you should replace spa with a scottish gp there
20:25:45: <Salamander> grid size might be a problem at knockhill though...
20:25:46: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> except he's using F1 Challenge
20:25:48: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> :D
20:25:54: <Darkapprentice77> same thing, basically....
20:26:04: <Atax1a> well...
20:26:07: <Atax1a> not really
20:26:09: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> indeed - I just love being a smartass
20:26:24: <Darkapprentice77> btw klon you own von gottorp right?
20:26:28: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> indeed I do
20:26:37: <Nuppiz> the track is starting to get wet
20:26:55: <Darkapprentice77> well if a driver in prost GP was injured and the team owner didn't nominate a replacement could i put leonhard in the car?
20:27:05: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> sure
20:27:09: <Darkapprentice77> sweet :)
20:27:28: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> He'd old, rich and therefore bored - give him all the racing he can get :D
20:27:46: <RockTheCasbah> Why is there two Salamanders in this chat feed? :S :O
20:28:01: <blindcavesalamander> Because my connection is a pile of dump
20:28:03: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> because "Double the Salamander = double the fun"
20:28:14: <blindcavesalamander> also that
20:28:14: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> everyone knows that
20:28:43: <Nuppiz> incredible, 5 lpas in and there's still 25 cars in the race
20:28:46: <Nuppiz> laps*
20:29:03: <ZeroForce> booooo.
20:29:06: <Darkapprentice77> wow, a sign of the apocolypse surely
20:29:11: <Nuppiz> or not
20:29:14: <blindcavesalamander> How's everyone's favourite gridhopper doing?
20:29:23: <Nuppiz> di Longo has stopped and there's more wreckage
20:29:24: <blindcavesalamander> By which I of course mean Apostolos
20:29:34: <HerrmannMann> :O
20:29:41: <Nuppiz> 24th, second last car running
20:29:42: <HerrmannMann> QPR won a match
20:29:50: <HerrmannMann> Grsjjjn won ROC
20:30:01: <HerrmannMann> No retirements after 5 laps of a Life GP race
20:30:10: <HerrmannMann> The apocalypse WILL happen!1
20:30:25: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> no, HerrmannMann, John Cena hasn't tapped, so nothing will happen
20:30:49: <HerrmannMann> Ok
20:30:50: <RockTheCasbah> This is more boring than the Indian Grand Prix. :/
20:31:05: <HerrmannMann> http://cache.ohinternet.com/images/e/e6/Okay_guy.jpg
20:31:21: <HerrmannMann> http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0jqc5jtgI1qbc3o2.jpg
20:31:21: <Atax1a> ...zzz
20:31:25: <Nuppiz> Mantis in the wall!
20:31:30: <HerrmannMann> Yaay!
20:31:32: <Nuppiz> Jericho's engine has blown up
20:31:34: <blindcavesalamander> oh thank god
20:31:34: <HerrmannMann> Action, I mean
20:31:41: <blindcavesalamander> things are happening
20:32:32: <Nuppiz> ehm wut
20:32:37: <Nuppiz> Mantis is still running
20:32:57: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> as von Gottorp established in Monza: retiring is for suckers :D
20:33:01: <Nuppiz> he tried to make an u-turn at the chicane where di Longo stopped, but there's a wall in his way
20:33:26: <Nuppiz> and apparently he thinks that with enough determination, a detour will open up
20:33:33: <HerrmannMann> As Herrman Mann established at race 1, Jagermeister is the way to go
20:33:46: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Leberkleister is indeed the way to go
20:33:56: <Atax1a> Cannot handle Jager...
20:34:31: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> ever since I started eating only one meal a day I can't even handle beer without getting shitfaced :D
20:34:48: <Atax1a> why only one meal a day?
20:34:59: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> because I was too f*cking fat :)
20:35:09: <Nuppiz> Jong-Sung has crashed!
20:35:13: <HerrmannMann> Wow, that takes some serious discipline
20:35:30: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> indeed, the payoff is worth it, however
20:35:34: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> hopefully he isn't hurt
20:35:39: <Atax1a> oh, i see...
20:35:46: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> wouldn't want a Life GP field without North Korea
20:36:42: <Atax1a> but yeah, after I had 16 Jagerbombs, 2 pints of lager and 1 pint of scrumpy cider I quite possibly died
20:36:50: <Nuppiz> nah, not a serious crash at all
20:37:01: <Atax1a> that was a good birthday though
20:37:13: <HerrmannMann> Sounds like it!
20:37:18: <Nuppiz> and it is now officially raining here at Donington
20:37:26: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> as long as you had fun, it's worth it, i'd say
20:37:31: <HerrmannMann> At least there wasn't any Tequila involved, that's stuff's nasty
20:37:32: <RockTheCasbah> Chaos in the pitlane again?
20:37:48: <Atax1a> Don't remember a thing though...woke up with my drawers moved to the other side of the room and a elastoplast on my head
20:38:11: <Atax1a> turned out I faceplanted the kitchen floor
20:38:26: <Nuppiz> Marky Howard is the first car to switch to intermediates, as he had to pit for a new front wing anyway
20:38:57: <Atax1a> and that
20:39:17: <Atax1a> and that's the story of how I will turn down Herrmann Mann's requests for Jager for the foreseeable future
20:39:35: <HerrmannMann> Looks like North Korea's racing driver is about as successful as their nuclear weapons...
20:40:07: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well, their nuclear weapons are not as successful as Northamptonshire's :D
20:40:23: <HerrmannMann> Oh, and Herrmann Mann would like to announce to everyone that there will be a party after the race should FGCR finish on the podium
20:40:52: <HerrmannMann> Everyone is welcome, bring your wives, Jagermeister on the house and Foster's Gold for those who can't handle/don't want the Jager
20:41:05: <Nuppiz> Armstrong pits for a new front wing and inters as well
20:41:48: <Atax1a> Can I bring Desperados?
20:41:58: <HerrmannMann> Sure, why not
20:43:39: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> I for my part would offer Oldesloher - because having style is for twats
20:43:55: <Nuppiz> Howard overtakes Van Der Maeyede
20:44:08: <Nuppiz> most cars are still on slicks
20:44:14: <HerrmannMann> Dayum
20:44:38: <RockTheCasbah> Damn this ultra-reliability! :X
20:45:24: <blindcavesalamander> Okay, who replaced the Life's with 2011 F1 cars?
20:46:05: <Nuppiz> come on, someone crash out or something
20:46:08: <HerrmannMann> More boring than sebastain vettel winning a korean grand prix from pole with the fasest lap whilst in a Toyota
20:46:08: <Nuppiz> this is dull
20:46:25: <RealRacingRoots> I think Nuppiz recomending everyone buy lotsa reliability upgrades is to blame.
20:46:43: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Toyota winning something? That's so unusual it cannot be boring
20:46:53: <RockTheCasbah> How many more laps must we endure? :/
20:47:13: <Nuppiz> not really, no
20:47:19: <HerrmannMann> But Toyota are the epicentre of boring!
20:47:35: <Nuppiz> lead car is on lap 11/37
20:47:40: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> and never win anythin
20:47:58: <Nuppiz> Roberts retires
20:49:29: <HerrmannMann> Is Kickert still leading? And by how much?
20:49:39: <Nuppiz> Gunselman retires
20:49:49: <HerrmannMann> Oh, and Klon - did you get my email about FGCR's F1RWRS Baltic GP livery?
20:50:02: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> i did
20:50:07: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> thanks
20:50:51: <Nuppiz> Kickert leads by 8.5 seconds
20:51:05: <blindcavesalamander> Speaking of baltic gp liveries, could someone link me to a GP2 template that I can use? I have no idea where to find one
20:52:05: <Nuppiz> Graham retires
20:52:19: <Atax1a> I'll stick a blank one up for you...
20:52:22: <Nuppiz> pitstops are being called throughout the field
20:52:36: <blindcavesalamander> thanks :)
20:52:42: <RockTheCasbah> Bathplug.
20:52:54: <RockTheCasbah> Where's Arthurs?
20:54:21: <Nuppiz> Yoshino has retired
20:54:36: <Nuppiz> Fernandez crashes into Vitkin on the pitlane and retires
20:55:49: <Nuppiz> Richardson and Balzary crashed into Yoshino's wreck, losing front wings
20:55:56: <Nuppiz> KICKERT!
20:56:07: <Nuppiz> HE SLOWS DOWN AND STOPS!
20:56:25: <Nuppiz> HE IS OUT FROM THE RACE!
20:56:34: <HerrmannMann> GOD!
20:56:38: <HerrmannMann> SCHEISSE!
20:56:46: <HerrmannMann> CACK!SHITE!
20:56:50: <HerrmannMann> CAZZA!
20:56:56: <TMLW> Damn. I knew I shouldn't have come back...
20:56:59: <RockTheCasbah> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DEVELOPMENT!
20:57:00: <HerrmannMann> KICKERT YOU PLONKER!
20:57:05: <HerrmannMann> DAMN!
20:57:10: <HerrmannMann> SCHEISSE!
20:57:10: <Atax1a> blindcavesalamander, here's a simple template: http://i.imgbox.com/abxHchU4.png
20:57:17: <RealRacingRoots> excitement you want,excitement we get!
20:57:22: <HerrmannMann> NO!
20:57:23: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Meanwhile von Gottorp just calmly drives around all of that?
20:57:24: <HerrmannMann> NO!
20:57:26: <HerrmannMann> SHITE!
20:57:30: <HerrmannMann> SCHEISSE!
20:57:35: <HerrmannMann> *Heart Attack*
20:57:52: <RockTheCasbah> Someone go restrain Hermann Mann.
20:57:53: <Atax1a> or try this if that didn't work: http://imgbox.com/abxHchU4
20:58:09: <RockTheCasbah> Before he has a heart attac-oh wait...
20:58:09: <Atax1a> his heart's done it for him...
20:58:18: <blindcavesalamander> thanks! :)
20:58:29: <Nuppiz> Arthurs leads now
20:58:47: <RockTheCasbah> Now that IS a good thing.
20:58:51: <Nuppiz> but he hasn't pitted for inters yet
20:59:01: <RockTheCasbah> Cock...
20:59:06: <blindcavesalamander> @HermannMann Now you know how James Davies felt...
20:59:20: <HerrmannMann> Whew! Lucky FGCR's doctor was in the same room! He managed to save my life
20:59:25: <Atax1a> Ah crap, I missed Bad Luck Balzary's inevitable accident
20:59:36: <HerrmannMann> @blindcaveslamander Gutting, isn't it?
20:59:48: <Nuppiz> and Van Der Maeyede is stuck in first gear
20:59:56: <HerrmannMann> @everyone else, Party's definately on now, need to forget everything!
21:00:25: <Nuppiz> Armstrong retired as well, so both L.O.T.U.S.es and FGCs out in the matter of a couple of laps
21:00:37: <Nuppiz> no wait, Fernandez is continuing
21:01:05: <Pi3141> So how many cars are still running?
21:01:18: <Nuppiz> Arthurs pits for inters and returns to the track in 2nd
21:01:22: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp leads
21:01:43: <blindcavesalamander> When was the last time von Gottorp actually finished?
21:01:53: <Nuppiz> 15 cars running
21:02:16: <Nuppiz> soon to be 14 as Van Der Maeyede retires
21:02:20: <Pi3141> Italy, 4th race.
21:02:47: <blindcavesalamander> That's a pretty long time ago...
21:03:28: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> yeah, after a great start to the season his luck abandoned him a bit
21:03:29: <Nuppiz> Fernandez, Anker and Chapman are the last cars to switch to inters
21:03:39: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> however he will forever be the first Life GP winner
21:06:58: <Nuppiz> so, on lap 15/37, the top 10 is: von Gottorp, Arthurs, Balivernes, D. Smith, Yazaki, Richardson, Anker, Generic, Howard, Balzary
21:08:01: <Darkapprentice77> i hope leonhard's car doesn't give up for once
21:09:37: <Nuppiz> Fernandez, Chapman, Vitkin and Alianopoulos form up the rest of the remaining runners
21:10:09: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> btw are we driving the Donington with the stupid extension or without?
21:10:29: <Nuppiz> it's the 1993 GP version
21:10:53: <blindcavesalamander> what's stupid about the extension?
21:10:55: <Atax1a> so with, I guess...
21:11:04: <blindcavesalamander> i mean, it's not imaginative or anything
21:11:16: <blindcavesalamander> but it's not like that pointless thing they added for the 2010 bahrain gp
21:11:17: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> I don't like it and what I don't like is stupid. :D
21:11:35: <blindcavesalamander> oh right
21:11:37: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> I for my part prefer the straight chicane
21:11:37: <blindcavesalamander> of course
21:12:42: <blindcavesalamander> i dont really mind either to be honest
21:13:14: <Nuppiz> Dave Smith struggles with the lapped Vitkin, and is overtaken by Yazaki
21:13:45: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well, it's not ruining the track - but without it's just better
21:14:19: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> each to their own - I mean, I actually like the Indy GP track a lot, so obviously my opinion on race tracks is worth only so much
21:15:59: <Nuppiz> hey, Mantis has got running again
21:16:09: <Darkapprentice77> i like the indy gp track too
21:16:11: <Nuppiz> that means 15 cars are still in
21:16:33: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> oh gosh, how many laps must he be down
21:16:35: <Darkapprentice77> good thing they still use it for motogp
21:17:08: <Nuppiz> he's 11 laps down
21:17:09: <Pi3141> how many laps is Mantis behind von Gottorp?
21:17:29: <Pi3141> You just postd it when I pushed enter.
21:17:49: <Nuppiz> Anker has a gearbox problem, stuck in 3rd
21:18:30: <Nuppiz> and Richardson retires as well!
21:18:38: <Nuppiz> both EuroBrums out on the same lap
21:19:29: <HerrmannMann> Well, given that they were engineered partly in Birmingham, I think it's suprising they made it this far :D
21:20:48: <Nuppiz> more debris flying... IT'S ARTHURS!
21:22:39: <Nuppiz> Yazaki hits him and loses his front wing
21:23:54: <Nuppiz> as does Alianopoulos, who also stops after the crash!
21:24:10: <blindcavesalamander> noooo :(
21:26:27: <Nuppiz> Vitkin retires
21:26:50: <Nuppiz> and Yazaki's pitstop drops him down to 8th, promoting Balzary into points!
21:26:58: <Nuppiz> only 10 cars still running
21:27:47: <Atax1a> :O
21:27:59: <Atax1a> He'll still retire though
21:29:03: <Nuppiz> 15 laps remaining
21:29:49: <RockTheCasbah> Is Arthurs out then?
21:30:11: <Nuppiz> Atax1a, your guess was correct
21:30:15: <Nuppiz> Bazary is now out
21:30:20: <Nuppiz> Balzary*
21:30:28: <Atax1a> Oh...shit my balls.
21:30:36: <Nuppiz> RockTheCasbah, yes Arthurs stopped on the track
21:30:40: <Atax1a> It was bound to happen...
21:30:49: <RockTheCasbah> Flip!
21:31:08: <RockTheCasbah> Is anyone gonna make it to the end?
21:31:21: <Atax1a> I'll give reserve driver Jonny Greenwood a go next race...
21:32:40: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Kay Lon is already retired
21:32:42: <blindcavesalamander> Well, we were all wondering at the start where all the action was, and it turns out it's all here at the end!
21:33:03: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> sorry, needed to use my old catchphrase :D
21:33:03: <WarrenHughes> Piss off Klon
21:33:10: <WarrenHughes> lol
21:33:50: <Nuppiz> so, the order after 23/37 laps: Von Gottorp, Balivernes, D. Smith, Generic, Howard, Yazaki, Fernandez, Chapman
21:33:58: <Nuppiz> and Mantis far far behind
21:34:18: <Nuppiz> 11 laps, to be precise
21:34:44: <WarrenHughes> That's a fair number of them still in the race
21:35:10: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> we had a slow start
21:35:11: <Nuppiz> Fernandez is stuck in 4th gear, will retire at the end of this lap
21:37:06: <Nuppiz> 8 cars still running, 7 of them still in contention for points
21:37:48: <Atax1a> well, I've got no reason to stick around...night chaps
21:37:52: <Nuppiz> nite
21:40:27: <Nuppiz> didn't someone mention Knockhill a while back?
21:40:42: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> yeah
21:41:06: <Nuppiz> it's available
21:41:17: <blindcavesalamander> excellent
21:41:32: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> we could also have Cleveland :D
21:41:48: <blindcavesalamander> that too
21:42:19: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> and then we could call the winner of that race the "Cleveland Cavalier"
21:42:22: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> dohohoho
21:43:12: <Nuppiz> I'm trying to make it so that next season's calendar has no tracks which were used by F1 in 1992
21:46:06: <Darkapprentice77> like knockhill :D
21:46:21: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> or Cleveland
21:46:39: <Nuppiz> or Castle Combe, Thruxton...
21:46:42: <blindcavesalamander> or that brazilian track whose name i cant spell
21:46:49: <Nuppiz> Jacarepagua
21:46:59: <blindcavesalamander> thats the one
21:47:11: <Nuppiz> which is set to host an NC event this year
21:47:15: <WarrenHughes> Yes Castle Combe
21:47:20: <Darkapprentice77> thruxton would be great
21:47:22: <Nuppiz> after the regular season has ended
21:49:12: <JasonHamilton> Is the race still ongoing
21:49:32: <blindcavesalamander> yeah
21:49:38: <Nuppiz> yes
21:49:40: <blindcavesalamander> but its nearly finished
21:49:43: <Nuppiz> oh goodness
21:49:49: <Nuppiz> three more retirements!
21:49:49: <blindcavesalamander> i think
21:50:53: <Nuppiz> Balivernes, Generic and Howard all retire due to mechanical reasons almost simultaneously!
21:51:12: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> are they on different parts of the track or are they close to each other?
21:51:25: <Nuppiz> all have been cleared to the pits now
21:51:33: <Nuppiz> in fact, Howard ran out of fuel
21:51:37: <Nuppiz> rejectful
21:51:45: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> if they were close to each other that would have been poetry in motion
21:52:09: <Nuppiz> Balivernes retired on the pilane whilst coming in to refuel
21:52:22: <Nuppiz> Generic pulled over due to a generic reason
21:52:32: <Nuppiz> Howard stopped as he ran out of fuel
21:53:33: <Nuppiz> Dave Smith came in to refuel, and continues in second position
21:53:45: <Nuppiz> Yazaki is now third and Chapman fourth
21:53:54: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp still leads
21:54:08: <Nuppiz> seven laps remaining
21:54:44: <blindcavesalamander> I think reliability is the only thing that can stop von Gottorp now
21:54:54: <JasonHamilton> Wow, SnP car in 4th
21:56:09: <Darkapprentice77> leonhard would probably be leading the championship right now if his car was more reliable
21:56:32: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp, Yazaki and Chapman all running on fumes, can they make it to the pits?
21:56:32: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well that holds true for a lot of drivers in this series :D
21:56:56: <blindcavesalamander> Davies probably would've locked up the title by now if his car was more reliable
21:57:05: <blindcavesalamander> ... well, I'm sure he thinks that, anyway
21:58:38: <Nuppiz> yes, all three make it to the pits for more fuel
21:59:27: <Nuppiz> four laps to go
22:00:50: <blindcavesalamander> Are there any potential battles for position?
22:01:00: <Nuppiz> nope
22:01:18: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp is 32 seconds ahead of Smith
22:01:29: <Nuppiz> Smith is 25 seconds ahead of Yazaki
22:01:52: <Nuppiz> and Chapman is a lap down on the other three
22:03:02: <Nuppiz> penultimate lap
22:03:42: <Nuppiz> Yazaki retires!
22:03:58: <blindcavesalamander> :o
22:04:35: <JasonHamilton> Wow podium
22:04:43: <JasonHamilton> maybe
22:06:07: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp has started the last lap
22:06:19: <Nuppiz> and Dave Smith needs to pit for more fuel again
22:06:27: <blindcavesalamander> lol
22:06:43: <Nuppiz> before he starts the last lap, that's a rejectful miscalculation
22:06:45: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> Get your "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" ready, cause 10 points are comin'! :P
22:06:50: <blindcavesalamander> wow, he's getting some excellent fuel economy today
22:07:07: <blindcavesalamander> unless von gottorp's car dies :p
22:07:36: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well, then 6 points are coming - still better than nothing
22:08:04: <Nuppiz> von Gottorp wins!
22:09:36: <Nuppiz> ..and stops on the track on his cooldown lap, out of fuel...
22:09:56: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> German fuel effiency :D
22:10:35: <Nuppiz> Dave Smith is second and Chapman third
22:10:55: <Nuppiz> Yazaki is classified fourth, Balivernes fifth and Generix sixth
22:11:02: <JasonHamilton> I did not expect that
22:11:09: <Nuppiz> Mantis was still running at the end of te race
22:11:16: <Nuppiz> the*
22:11:26: <blindcavesalamander> how many laps down in the end?
22:11:53: <Nuppiz> 11
22:13:15: <Nuppiz> that gives him ROTR
22:15:17: <Nuppiz> his sixth lap took 18 minutes 53 seconds to complete
22:15:57: <Nuppiz> Fastest lap: Pieter Kickert, 1:30.006 on lap 2
22:18:18: <Nuppiz> right, that leaves only one more race in Europe, at Estoril
22:21:50: <Nuppiz> hey, it's now December 21st here!
22:22:07: <ThereCanOnlyBeKlon> well then: was nice knowing ya :P
