Lintner, Diehl and McNamara are title contenders right now.
Lintner's title possibilities:

If Diehl/McNamara finishes 2nd (266), Lintner must finish 1st (270).
If Diehl/McNamara finishes 3rd (264), Lintner must finish 2nd or higher (267).
If Diehl/McNamara finishes 4th (263), Lintner must finish 3rd or higher (265).
If Diehl/McNamara finishes 5th (260), and either of them doesn't set the fastest lap, Lintner must finish 6th or higher. If Lintner finishes 6th, he will already win the title, as he has more victories than Diehl and McNamara.
If Diehl/McNamara finishes 6th or 7th (259), Lintner must finish 7th or higher. Same as the previous one.
If Diehl/McNamara's 8th (257), Lintner must finish 9th or higher. And it's so on with the further positions (9th to 15th).
If both Diehl and McNamara retire or finish outside of the points, then Lintner is safe!

Diehl's title possibilities:

If Lintner finishes 2nd (267), Diehl must finish 1st.
If Lintner's 3rd (265), and doesn't set the fastest lap, Diehl must finish 2nd or higher.
If Lintner's 4th (264) and Lintner doesn't set the fastest lap, Diehl must finish 3rd or higher and set the fastest lap.
If Lintner's 5th (261), Diehl must finish 4th or higher. And it's so on with the further positions (6th to 15th).
If Lintner's outside the points, Diehl must finish 15th or higher.

McNamara's title possibilities:

If Diehl/Lintner finishes 2nd, McNamara must finish 1st.
If Diehl/Lintner finishes 3rd, McNamara must finish 2nd or higher.
If Diehl/Lintner finishes 5th, McNamara must finish 4th or higher.
If both Diehl and Lintner's outside the points, McNamara must finish 15th (and set the fastest lap of the race) or higher.

Well you have everything to lose, James is further back and third in the standings. He's got nothing to lose

Almost done, just had a schweppes (maybe the mistake was a deal

), and some scrambled eggs with toast. I'll be back home in about 15 minutes.

They don't serve alcohol under 18

But don't worry, it'll be back

Tim.E · Jul 24, 2015

But about the race, guess what, it was a wet one

Milos · Jul 24, 2015

We may have more chances in the wet, afaik skill matters more in the rain and Pablo has loads.
Lets go!!

Aidan Keranen · Jul 24, 2015

Confident of a good result.

LINTNER WINS MAIDEN TITLE

After a wet race 3 there was a lot to look out for, of course a lot of battles for certain spots in the championship. The one we looked out the most for was the one between Lintner, Diehl and Mcnamara. Lintner had the best opportunity and made the most of it as he didn't lose his spot after the start and kept it untill the end. Diehl and Mcnamara did everything they could but could just simply not overtake the Hungarian. Therefore these are the final standings:

With Lintner being just 3 points ahead of Diehl and only 7 of Mcnamara. 2KF1 finished on a high as all the cars finished in the top 7 and Herbert setting the fastest lap. Therefore these are the final constructor standings:

With 2KF1 Racing being crowned champions even though they didn't win the drivers, they won the constructors by a pretty large margin. And now we move on to the manufacturers championship:

The 2KF1 cars didn't let down, cause of the chamionship of Mercedes as a manufacturer. It was rather close between BMW and Audi with BMW just edging ahead.

I made your life a whole lot easier Milos with doing this:

I want to congratulate Mark Lintner with his maiden title in the GPTCC and also a big congrats to the 2KF1 boys. You guys really deserved it both as a driver and a team.

INTERVIEWS:
@Márk Lintner What's going through your mind right now?

@James McNamara @Diehl How do you guys feel to lose the title in the last race?

@Aidan Keranen @James McNamara You've been crowned constructor champions, well done! Any notes or remarks to make.

@Milos Thanks for letting me host the final races of the season and we hope to see you all in the next season of the GPTCC!

Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham · Jul 24, 2015

@Tim Engberink we finished on equal points

Milos · Jul 24, 2015

finishing the season with no title is disappointing.

Congrats to Mark, that one came out of nowhere! Really I Was expecting either James or Pablo, yet that happened.
For the constructors, it's disappointing even with the worst reliability 2KF1 cars held through all the 3 races. So did ours but they should be..

what may have killed the season is both Pablo and especially Andy missing the marketplace both once. Made it real difficult after the first race as we recieved no sponsor money. If that didn't happen, who knows what could've been.
It was a nice season, but I am still disappointed not to win either of the titles.
