I'm going to win. What's that? I need to stay out of the barriers? 
Due to unlucky scheduling i cant make it to tonights race
Maybe i missed something, sorry, what is grid forming method for feature race now?

shouldnt have told him vale, now hes gonna be doing what i did every race
to give you an idea of how that worked out for me, up until race day i had all intentions of qualifying and trying my best as i love singapore and all the more technical tracks, i made a decision just before going on the server that id try sit out qualifying because i knew passing would be hard, when it came to qualifying and actually sitting out was so hard, i wanted to put in a lap so badly so went and done a few outlaps to take the edge off it
the plan worked in that i ended up last in race1 and id be pole on race2, but once the racing started i started thinking wether it was a good plan or not, i managed to pass guys all the way upto 5th place and ended up just behind artyom and my thoughts were maybe artyom could do the same in the feature race which would then render my strategic qualifying useless.
this is basically what happened except kyran was inbetween us at the end, i managed to do what id set out which was to win race2 where theres more points available, but artyom managed to beat me in race1 and was close behind in race2 so the points differential worked in my favour but only slightly over the whole 2 events.
so.... was it worth it for me?
yes and no, the points being handy in the championship, but the feeling i got from not qualifying and having that adrenelin rush are what have put me off the idea so from now on i will be qualifying wether i think strategy would be better or not, it was fun to try it though

sorry David i revealed your strategy
when i see you in last row I thought him work for race2 or him want make like the cat and the mouse
PS David can you set the hour of race on server it's a bit dark, me and Anton were on server after 4laps we had eyes like those of the great Marty Feldman.
we were started in the dark we could choose not to start, also so I ask me but we're so sick of running in the dark on a track with an F1 car? YES

This afternoon I have an unexpected important appointment
I`m not sure if I`m back in time for qualifying or racing.
I´ll do my best on the real autobahn to be there

Best of luck tonight everyone, I feel like I'm going to get utterly destroyed in SC later. I'll try to not regret my decision too much.

Ahh Matsusaka, should be good i'm just downloading it
A quick PSA for everyone. Daylight savings ends in the UK this weekend, and all our races in Presto are scheduled according to UK time. They're all going to happen an hour earlier. So double check your time differences on Monday.

I even called it... *sad trombone* At least it happened early enough to make the Sepang rounds.
