He put it in the Paddock chat didn't he? Or am I reading things

Haven't seen that myself although I know he wasn't definite about racing this one.

Do you mean an extra race, or a one that would replace the last one at Jerez?
Also, I think it would be an awfully iffy situation with the car performance choice (and the cars itself) - the F1 guys are used to their hyper performance, so it's going to feel weird if you put them in a dumbed down 2013 performance car. At the same time, I'm usually pretty average in equal cars, simply because I'm not used to having SO much grip...

 

[Carlos Jimenez]

Dont know how Guti got safe after that...

 

[Kieran Harrison]

I was taken out into turn 1 and from then on it was all downhill.

 

[Emil Praga]

Early Review of my race before I piece together a video.

Quali: Didn't feel good going into quali as I forgot to save my setup and wasn't physically feeling well to race, but with my only timed lap I got pole by a few tenths of a second which was surprising because I knew there was another 3 tenths of time available based on practice, although my set up may have been a part of that.

Race: I get off the line about as good as someone without KERS could manage. Henri went down the inside into T1, I tried to give him room but still defend my position as hard as I could as I knew I would struggle to pass anyone back because I lack KERS. We made contact and I think he spun slightly, but I'm not quite sure.

I proceed to build up a solid lead, ranging between 4-6 seconds. If I could stop making mistakes into T9/10 then I would have consistently increased that but every few laps I was losing about half a second there.

I pit early to protect my lead and I knew I could comfortably manage a 2 stop, so I could play with my strategy to suit me. After the stops I had roughly the same sort of lead as before but I wasn't driving great, I kept making small mistakes. Finally at the start of lap 27 I take too much kerb into T1, I hit where there is normally a bollard and my car promptly exploded... Race over

I'm pretty gutted because I knew this week I was quick enough to win. On a day where I was concentrating a bit better, I would not have made that error but it is still something I don't expect to happen and I'm not happy that my race had to end that way...

EDIT- Looks like myself and Luigi in GP2 had the exact same problem... Damn you Codemasters, this isn't a new bug

Jamie probably we would have both win if that bollard was not there, CM has to find a solution or if is possible, someone with a mod could rescript those bollards to not blow up cars.

 

[Lance Loomis]

I'm online if anyone is wanting some pre-season testing.

 

[Lance Loomis]

- Have you got a team mate lined up or have one in mind?
Nope.... lol. Being a reserve means I can be everyone's teammate =)

- Have you decided on a car you would like to drive for season 6?
I've been working with the Sauber recently and seem to have a good handle on the car, but I absolutely adore the Force India.

- Do you buy into the idea the cars are different(when set on equal) or do you find them the same to handle?
Some say it's different but they fixed most of it with the patch.

-Any aims/goals/thoughts about the upcoming season you want to share?
Points, points, and more points. =)

-will you be attending?
I will try to make some of them if there is room in the lobby.

 

[Carlos Jimenez]

I think won´t make it guys, big hang over here... nothing to do with Perez on 3rd. lol

 

[Ihsan Ulusoy]

- Have you got a team mate lined up or have one in mind?
I didnt talk to anyone regarding this. So ill be happy in case whoever choose me as a teammate
- Have you decided on a car you would like to drive for season 6?
After todays race i can stay with mercedes gp but doesnt matter
- Do you buy into the idea the cars are different(when set on equal) or do you find them the same to handle?
I think when you good it doesnt matter
-Any aims/goals/thoughts about the upcoming season you want to share?
To be competetive as much as i can and get the most fun

[TheHemps]

Good luck to the McLaren Junior Team

Jan Willem and I will be cheering you on.

 

[Ben Parkinson]

I only use TT to get an idea of the track, waste of time trying to get a race setup from it in my experience.

 

[Jonathan Seekings]

wow, as if a friday night is leading the poll. Guys you need to get out more

 

[Mark Saunders]

I'm pretty sure he means after the season is over, otherwise I'd be voting for my stronger tracks rather than ones for good racing... also, disrupting the championship at this point would be mental!

In terms of which track, I'll vote simply on the ones which produced the best fights for me (wouldn't be able to comment for others). I'm guessing we're after a semi-open track rather than Monaco/Singapore or the like; similarly, I wouldn't say Monza/Spa which are mostly about who has the heavier foot. Brands Hatch is phenomenal for close fighting with no DRS and the difference in possible strategies. Canada is classic but much in the same vein as Germany/Hungary/Melbourne/Spain which I may have a bit of bias toward! One of those six I'd imagine to be closest though.

In terms of performance, I'd have absolutely no idea what to do with who went where using 2013 performance.

Good idea though, would be fun to see how the two leagues stack up against each other now.

 

[Ben Milden]

Not sure I can make tonight but am trying to arrange it

 

[Andrew Wood]

Glad you chose the right thread to put this in

 

[Flavio Morado]

Just to know..... all the guys who vote gonna race in the league?!?!? We have room for all??? They ALL want race permanently?!?

 

[Jamie Cottage]

I'm an idiot. I pressed start to end session in quali...instead I quit by accident! Fail.

 

[Harry Stride]

Crap...I forgot.
