A bad quali means I can go forwards in the race.
Well what an eventful and innovative quali session and race. Got disconnected at lap 29in 3rd place. Looking fwd to the racers reports. Looked like an interesting battle was happening up front.
Thank you my friends for joining me in League, I think drivers in Group 4 are one of the best F1 2010 drivers, I wish you all many success and progress at all races. If you have more time, lats train more togather. Thank you again 
Thanx for sharing Freddy, looking forward to the release, probably our 2nd season will look differently

Dan I'm about to post a race review from Virgin in the monaco thread. (moved to Press conference thread)
PS: Just realised that next race is Turkey. Can't wait, should be great. This track rocks.

Race Report
Monaco had it all this season: Dramatic Wet quali, Re start, Favourites out of position on the grid, damage, penalties and retirements. Read on!
Qualifying
We had a decent wet setup from practice so headed into the storm. Grip levels were improving and we had fuel to keep running as the times dropped. Crossed the line with 8 sec left for the final hot lap and had a close encounter in the tunnel at about 220kph with a car on a slow down lap. I think we were both surprised I squeezed through. This lap was aborted so my second to last lap had to stand. It did until Jack completed a great lap in the last seconds grabbing pole by .110 sec.
Early Laps
Had a pretty poor sector 3 on the opening lap and it must have been amusing for Dylan and Jono behind me as I did an impersonation of Kobyashi with 3 Armco contacts in one lap. Dylan neatly drove around me after I went off course at Rascasse, I think Jono did too I can’t be sure as was seeing more advertising hoardings than track at this point. I then ran wide in P4 at St Devote resulting in damaged front wing and definitely the worst opening laps ever. It wasn’t yet over- I cut it too fine at Portier and spun into the wall B4 the tunnel and heard Matt in No Scope pass behind me, I was now P5. The car was handling sort of OK with the damaged wing and I decided to carry on. I was gaining on No Scope when I came around casino around lap 6 and saw bits of Renault scattered around. The Renault was in the runoff area at Mirabeau and I was back in P4.
The Rest
Pretty much raced around on my own then for 22 laps in P4 watching the gap to P1 and trying to keep a rythm . Suddenly on about lap 27 I was in P3, (not sure what happened to Dylan) and pitted for Options and a new wing at lap 28. My goal for the race was 4th and I returned to the track still in P3! (edit, it was a bug and I was in P4) on fresh options and a complete front wing and feeling a bit elated and ready for the run to the flag.
However next time around on pit straight Xbox live decided to beam me up to the mother ship and disconnected me. Mixed feelings. Happy with Quali performance and mix of bad and good luck in the race.
Thanks for the race.

Pre-Race
I had a quick seat fitting and lesson on steering wheel controls at Sauber after scrambling for a new team after some (insert nasty word here) STOLE MY RENAULT.
Qualifying
the session went all wrong for me, after a few runs at the start to get up to speed on the wet track i went back to the pits and waited till near the end of the session as i knew the track would be faster, unfortunately i got a puncture in casino square for the slightest of touches.. ended up P5 on a 1:26xxx.
The Race
Lined up on the inside and as the lights went out i got superb traction, and coasted up the inside into turn 1. Took it nice and easy, gave plenty of room the the guy outside of me as i didn't expect to overtake, just wanted to not crash. Speeding up the hill i look back to a big incident at turn 1 just behind me - unsure who/what cause it, so i pushed on, taking the first few laps nice and easy on full fuel to keep the car out of the barriers. On the tail of Dylan and David i saw Jack increasing his lead and i knew i had to push on and pass these guys otherwise it would be a run away race.
My original strategy was a 2 stopper starting on primes and 12 laps each on 2 sets of options - based on my assumption i'd be stuck in traffic.
However, soon David made a couple mistakes, ran wide allowing me and Dylan to nip past. Now I was running 3rd place right on Dylan's gearbox on a lower engine mode to save fuel for later. After a few laps Dylan made a mistake allowing me to overtake by which point Jack was some 6 secs ahead of me.
I began to push hard on fast mode keeping the gap about 5 secs to Jack - he pitted on lap 9? relief for me matching his options pace. I kept on pushing slightly extending the gap to Dylan every few laps. I think he had a drive thru in the latter stages ruining his chances of catching me.
Pitting on lap 27 for options my pace was consistent and fast, I heard Jack saying he might as well pit again because there wasnt chance of him catching me (i think) so ambitiously lapped some qualy laps setting my PB ever of a 1:14.982 (never done that in qualy nvm race).
I was close to lapping Jack until I made an error at turn 1 and spun on lap 37, leaving my wing on yellow, this was the 1st mistake i had made all race pretty much.
Summary
My best monaco race ever, winning convincingly with virtually no mistakes.
Roll on next race..

I couldnt race cause thanks to this stupid university, i only have only ethernet port and i had to do something so i couldnt play it, we may have to reschedule to a time when more people can join in.
Thanx for sharing Piet! Yes, we had the same problem in turn one. Just that small push, so not able to make the turn, but go save into the run off area. Very dissapointing.
