    @Todfod – No, it will be 10am GMT, not 10:30. 10:30 refers to the Skype interviews today, I believe.

    @Formula-1 – No worries, I was just throwing it out there just in case. Yeah, you’ll be in the Lotus, joining me for Melbourne.

    Also, to all who don’t have me (I think I have most), my PSN name is JF-F1, so if you don’t have me on PSN, then now would be a great chance to add me :)

    @Olliekart – Great video! I look forward to doing more of those as the season progresses, and hopefully this will attract more attention to this league in the future. Though next time I think questions should be directed to certain people to avoid talking over each other :P Sorry about that Tom (@RagingInferno)

    Awesome video :) Totally agree @jamiefranklinf1 , most of the time I was guessing when you were talking or not lol. Also my mic is clearly not very flattering, or I really sound like that in the morning :S

    Eh..as mentioned in the video I was *ahem* in bed. Good one though. I’ll do a post race interview or something, guaranteed to be up.

    In other news, I hate Albert Park in this game, specifically due to turns 4 through to the end of first sector. Even in time trial, sometimes it’s 2nd, sometimes it’s 4th, DRS open, or shift down to 5th.

    @RagingInferno – I think everyone just sounds different to how they think they do. I personally don’t like listening to my own voice, but hopefully it’s not as awful to listen to for other people!

    @Alfie – I know how you feel. I’ve managed to find quite a good setup though, as you may have seen in our little race earlier. I’m able to push with it, and still feel a good level of stability in the rear of the car, which in the past has been a trade-off. Also, on that point, it was a nice little tussle we had, though I was hoping you realised that it wasn’t me that caused you to spin off, in fact it was the last thing I was trying to do. I can’t believe how many terrible racers are online though. I mean, during that race alone, as I was trying to overtake Gareth on the main straight, I pulled up alongside him and he simply rammed straight into me (which then gave me a penalty). I messaged him afterwards, and he said how he’d do anything to win, and was just being defensive. It’s safe to say that I’m glad he didn’t participate in too many of our F2 races earlier this year.

    Still, even though you may not think you’re good here, Alfie, you still seem quite fast if that’s the case :P

    Didn’t think you’d shove me off like that. I may have lagged into the Caterham at the start, and I span a good few times that race. Doesn’t help that I’m going one-footed a lot of the time, I pulled a muscle or something in my left leg.

    Qualified: 6th (5th with Shyguy’s penalty)
    Race: DNF

    Tried to qualify on primes but I was way down so put on a set of options for 1 last lap and managed 6th fastest which is more than what I had hoped for really (:
    Then before the race there was some massive disconnect so we did the Safety Car type of start. At the restart I had okay pace for about 1 lap, more or less staying with Brooksy when he passed me, but then my TV turned off momentarily and I went off track, I then spun again because I had dirt on my tyres, pitted for a new front wing (which I didn’t even realise I’d lost because of my TV flickering) then after the pits my TV seemed fine, I thought it had fixed itself but after a couple of laps, Oli and 2 other front runners were closing on me and it did it again -_- luckily I don’t think I hit anyone but if I did I’m very sorry :( that was that and I’m currently trying to find out what’s up with my TV, sad end to the first race.

    Qualifying (9th with penalty)
    Race: Absolutely gutted, had the worst possible setup, constant spinning, awful balance, hated it, had a bit of a tussle with Shyguy at the start, my race was over from then when I lost my front wing, I know I accidently caused a McLaren (I think it was Alfie) to lose their front wing, really sorry, I thought I had let you through, feel really bad, but I got a penalty, my race and setup got worse and worse, so I decide to retire.

    Quali – 4th but last with the penalty. Didn’t have much practice before the quali so just went around and hoped for the best and I was sitting 4th until I spun on the out lap for my final run, and while turning back around I got my penalty.

    Race – DNF/Disconnected – Started last and by turn 3 I gained one place. Over the next few laps I managed to get up to 6th after passing robo with drs and got past Tea after her TV turned off. I then chased down john and had a nice battle with him for a bit until he spun.

    When jamie pitted he came out behind me and I managed to keep him behind for a few laps but eventually his better pace and newer tyres prevailed and I dropped back behind him quite a bit.

    Lap 17 I pitted for options and started to catch mrt ahead of me, at first I was catching quite a bit but the rate of gaining dropped to about 3ish tenths a lap iirc. Then the sc came out which I was really happy about as the gap dropped to just a second or two. My internet then decided it was going to be mean and it disconnected me which stopped me from a potential podium or at least 4th. Happy with my pace though, and quite a fun race :) just a shame about my potato internet.

    Aye, at least you let me through. I was annoyed but got back up to 3rd in the end.

    Qualifying: 3rd
    Best of the rest after Ollie and Jamie. I could’ve set a faster lap but it still wouldn’t have been enough really.

    Race: 3rd
    Got a decent start after the rolling start, pulled alongside Jamie then dropped to around 2 seconds back and stayed. Race was processional, I was slowly pulling away from Tom, then soza hit me and I lost my front wing and about 15 seconds. I was on the same set of Primes for the rest of the race.
    When Téa was off track I only lost about 7 tenths and Jamie lost about the same so it was all good.
    Spent some laps lapping RoboCat and others, shyguy was having a decent race, then Robo sent a gift from the gods; the Safety Car. Unluckily for Shyguy he disconnected, but now I was up into 4th.
    Didn’t get the best restart, but Jamie and Tom were fighting and, on my screen at least, collided, and I got past Jamie. I passed Tom soon after somewhere and stayed there until Jamie passed me on lap 28. I was hoping to get him with DRS on the final straight but I was on the wrong, old tyres so finished 3rd.

    Driver of the Day is Shyguy – he was having a great race until he disconnected.
