Guest167 has become Rated.
Nuppiz: and it's the minimum three members!
Darkapprentice77: hooray
Darkapprentice77: so
Rated: Heh ! Hello everybody
Darkapprentice77: any bets on who'll stall?
Guest168 has entered the room.
Nuppiz: So, welcome to sunny Germany for round 7 of the 1991 Life Grand Prix Series
Guest168 has become Klon.
Rated: One of the STP cars
AndreaModa: i swear far too many cars stall in F1C full stop tbh
Rated: SnP*
Klon: "Sunny" Germany
Klon: what the-? :D
AndreaModa: even in the regular game
Klon: I personally find that hilarious though - gotta stay on your toes on the start
Nuppiz: local hero Leonhard von Gottorp put himself into a nice 3rd place, while the Infinite Improbability Drive of the qualifying must be handed to Rachel Graham in 4th
Klon: BTW qualifying wasn't one-sided at all now, was it?
Nuppiz: yeah, it sucks when someone stalls right in front of you, I rarely mange to avoid them
Klon: I do, but it completely ruins my start -5 places are minimum
Nuppiz: well, van Dycke is probably the most improved driver on the grid because This has been playing a two-car team with just one main car, the second only bringing in the extra budget
Klon: makes sense then - we're having Dagnall Disease here as well :D
Nuppiz: at least the guest entries are in their place, last and second last
Nuppiz: if it wasn't for unreliability van Dycke would've probably won every GP so far
Klon: that's a big if in Life Grand Prix
Rated: With Von Gottorp on the second, third place everytime
Nuppiz: anyway, let's get started

Darkapprentice77: revs are up
AndreaModa: go go go!!
Nuppiz: I see parts glyin on the main straight, definitely some stallers
Nuppiz: flying*
Klon: here we go!
Nuppiz: and I just noticed I hadn't loaded up Fraps, so I have to record everything post-race..
Nuppiz: wait a min
Nuppiz: haha, it works!
AndreaModa: haha happy days
Klon: and who did bit the dust at the start
Nuppiz: John Smith and Dave Wilson are our stallers of the day
AndreaModa: bugger
Herbacrap: Sorry AndreaModa!
Nuppiz: John Smith's car collects a pileup
AndreaModa: for some reason i knew he'd stall at some point
Herbacrap: I expect my team to perform crappily
AndreaModa: did he get going afterwards though?
Rated: My car improved, but not as much as I was expecting.
Darkapprentice77: i expect all the engines to perform crappily
Klon: Since I know the only good series for me is F2RWRS I don't expect anything anywhere else :D
Darkapprentice77: hockenheim is good at killing them
Nuppiz: so far Wilson hasn't moved at all, all cars managed to avoid him
AndreaModa: MOVE MAN!
Nuppiz: Bell and Yazaki lost their rear wings in the start pileup, that's it for their race
Rated: NOOOO !
Nuppiz: nope, Wilson has withdrawn into the pits
AndreaModa: ahhh thats sad
AndreaModa: the sponsors aren't best pleased with this.
Nuppiz: Anker and Tenpecost lost their front wings in the start
Nuppiz: James Davies is already up into 7th
Nuppiz: Richardson has stopped on the side of the road
AndreaModa: right chaps, i'm afraid i'm going to have to call it a night
AndreaModa: 7am start means bed is calling ;)
Nuppiz: Yoshino has a gearbox problem, that's both Psycho Soldiers out in the first two laps!
AndreaModa has left the room.

Nuppiz: and what's that?

Rated: Oh ?
Nuppiz: engine failure!
Rated: We will have a surprise winner today.
Nuppiz: Kickert is unable to avoid his car and hits it, losing his front wing
Nuppiz: van Dycke leads dominantly
Klon: now that isn't too good
Nuppiz: and Davies has retired as well!
Nuppiz: unless the Belgian retires, this all playing well for him!
Nuppiz: and Generic has stopped on the road as well
Nuppiz: four retirements in a single lap
Rated: Not bad
Rated: I think Balivernes will finish this race on the podium
Klon: will this be our race where everyone retires?
Nuppiz: Top 10 after 4/22 laps: van Dycke, Fernandez, Graham, Arthurs, Balivernes, Howard, Jericho, Balzary, Braggia, Ramone

Guest171 has become East Londoner.

Parklife: Sweeeeet! Richard Arthurs won't be happy now! >:D

Salamander: hey
Herbacrap: Hay
Nuppiz: 'ola
Parklife: Good noon
Guest173 has entered the room.
Guest173 has become Shadaza.
Nuppiz: Wellholme's engine is smoking
Rated: I'm surprised the two guest drivers are still in the race
Nuppiz: and Anker has overtaken Mazzacane
Herbacrap: At this rate, there's going to be no finishers
Parklife: How many laps left?
Nuppiz: after 8/22 laps, the top 10 is: Fernandez, Graham, Arthurs, Balivernes, Howards, Jericho, Balzary, Braggia, Ramone, Armstrong

Nuppiz: and Wellholme's engine has now packed in
Nuppiz: Bazza the Bogan retires with yet another gearbox failure
Shadaza: wait nearly half way in and a LOTUS car is leading as opposed to being on fire? WOOOOOOOOO
Nuppiz: Howard stops in the middle of the track, and Jericho, Braggia, Armstrong and D. Smith all lose their front wings by colliding into his car
Nuppiz: Smith spends a ridiculous amount of time finding his way around the wreck
Shadaza: and of course Ramone misses it like a boss
Nuppiz: of course, and is promoted to 5th
Nuppiz: crafty
Shadaza has left the room.
Nuppiz: wait, where's Graham?
Nuppiz: she's retired!
Rated: Darn
Nuppiz: from the replay we can see she stops after the Clark chicane and Arhurs misses her car just narrowly
Guest174 has entered the room.
Guest174 has become Pasta.
Pasta has become Herrmann Mann.
Herrmann Mann: Guten tag, was has happened?
Nuppiz: top 5 of the championship has already retired
Herrmann Mann: Ja!ja! Wo ist FGC piloten?
Herrmann Mann: I presume van der
Nuppiz: Fernandez has now reached the halfway point at 11/22 laps, and the top 10 is: Fernandez, Arthurs, Balivernes, Balzary, Ramone, Braggia, Van Der Maeyede, Kickert, Jong-Sung, Gunselman
Herrmann Mann: Maeyede has stalled it
Herrmann Mann: Ah! I waz wrong
Nuppiz: 17 cars still running
Nuppiz: my goodness, and that's a L.O.T.U.S. on the side of the track!
Nuppiz: it's number 3, it's Fernandez!
Herrmann Mann: *cackles*
Klon: Wat'n Saufkopf, dieser Mann!
Nuppiz: Jericho has retired as well, I almost missed that
Herrmann Mann: Come on Braggia
Herbacrap: Because of losing the front wing or otherwise?
Nuppiz: brakes/suspension
Herbacrap: Stupid punk-ass brakes
Herrmann Mann has left the room.
Herbacrap: I'm going to scavenge Peter Monteverdi's car collection for some decent brakes
Nuppiz: "Oh shit, the brakes is out!"
Nuppiz: oh no, that's Balzary retired
Nuppiz: what a shame, his luck has been dreadful
Herbacrap: So, is Vettel still in front?
Nuppiz: Christopher Arthurs leads
Parklife: Come on Arthurs!
Nuppiz: Mazzacane's car looks quite twitchy under braking
Herbacrap: As long as it isn't von Gottorp on top I'm happy
Nuppiz: you mean van Dycke?
Nuppiz: because he's far more dominant than von Gottorp if his car stays together
Klon has left the room.
Nuppiz: and another unlucky warrior, Pieter Kickert, is now 6th
Nuppiz: considering the rumors surrounding him, that's effectively three Foster's drivers back-to-back in 4th, 5th and 6th
Nuppiz: and Winton is still holding up Anker
Nuppiz: the German crowds are understandably not amused
Herbacrap: No, I mean von Gottorp
Herbacrap: I hate that old git
Herbacrap: ;)
Darkapprentice77: i like him
Nuppiz: Balivernes is smoking!
Rated: Oh no

Nuppiz: and after spending 16 laps begind the guest drivers, Anker has finally gotten past them
Nuppiz: behind*
WaffleCat has left the room.
Parklife: Feck, feck, feck, feck...
Nuppiz: that's not the first time a Sandinista retires from up front

Parklife has left the room.
Nuppiz: Ramone starts the penultimate lap
Darkapprentice77: im surprised the guest cars haven't blown up
Nuppiz: they've been lucky
Nuppiz: because a default engine has an average lifetime of 1 second
Darkapprentice77: lol
Nuppiz: but the random variance is 3000
Nuppiz: and Ramone starts the last lap
Nuppiz: here he comes, and wins the German Grand Prix!
Nuppiz: Jose Braggia comes home second

Herbacrap has left the room.
Darkapprentice77: so
Darkapprentice77: rotr??
Nuppiz: hard to think of one, really
Nuppiz: looks like it's suspension this time
Nuppiz: 7 suspension failures

Darkapprentice77: or transmission failures
