F1 Fanatic

Well, me and @Formula-1 decided to go ahead with the race, and whether we get points, I don’t really care, especially because there doesn’t seem to be that much interest.

Quali was wet, and I got pole with a 1:28.321, 2.7 seconds faster than Soza.

The race was nice and sunny. I got a good clean start, pulled away from Sozavele and continued my race from there. I pitted at the end of lap 6 and put primes on, as well as some music to cure my boredom. So I spent most of the middle stint half-dancing, and still setting some decent, consistent laps, whilst saving fuel.

I pitted again at the end of lap 16 to fit options, and at this point was about 55 seconds ahead of Soza. I came out, turned the fuel mix up and went for some quali laps. I set a couple of fastest laps in this time, but nothing special. I think I eventually caught Soza at the end of lap 21, and he graciously let me pass him on the straight and then we went our separate ways, and I finished the race in 33 minutes and 17 seconds, which again isn’t my fastest time, nor was the 1:22.823 that I set in my last stint.

All in all, it was a bit of a boring race (Apart from my dancing-filled second stint) and we definitely need more competition here, otherwise this will soon fade out.

EDIT: Oh, and no penalties for either of us either. I think I only got 2 warnings during the race (which were during my second stint, as my focus had dwindled somewhat).

@Formula-1 – Wow, really? 2 seconds is pretty awesome. I thought you had made a mistake, because when I spectated, you just pulled into the pits at the end of the lap.

The funny thing is that Gareth is online now. Not like he’s nearly 2 hours late or anything -_-

I pulled into the pits because I ran out of fuel and my time would have been worse, I was half way through sector 2 and I then ran out of fuel and was slugging along, got to sector 3 and was a second off the pace, really annoying.

No we can’t, I’ve asked, he’s busy :L

@formula-1 I’d really love to, but I can’t afford to make any commitments at this stage. The fact I haven’t played F1 2011 since the last Collantine Cup race says it all!

Come on @damonsmedley it will be great, you will keep us all on our toes and it is not an everyweek race so there is no wory in commitment as there are always breaks, it stretches through the entire calendar period and shall never interfere with the Collantine Cup.

@damonsmedley – I just want to put people on the entry list so that we can have people ready. We will inform you prior to any races that a race is coming up, if you can’t make it, just say, it doesn’t worry me, it’s your Championship challenge ;) haha
