Hahah, why do I end up getting pitched against Steve! Ah, he scored more points in one race than I have in almost the entire season. I certainly know who I’d put my money on to win this battle. Hopefully I can get 7th place and better my points tally from my rookie season.

Hope we’ll have another exciting (and wet?) race at Interlagos like last year.

(and wet?)

I am praying we don’t have a wet race, the rain screwed me out of a podium last year.

Hoping not to get the “The Wooden Spoon”……

Found a reasonable setup, and it’s the same as usual this season regarding TT times – more or less matching @JamieFranklinF1 , and then @commonmonsoon ahead in the lofty rankings…

In a sense, I hope it does rain – the best Collantine Cup race I remember was Season 2, Interlagos. That first victory would obviously be nice, but the targets I’m really setting myself are 1.) Don’t disconnect, or @sato113 will probably nab 3rd place off me – 2.) Don’t have incidents on the first lap…

Well, it’s a Collantine Cup tradition that we have a first time winner at the final round of the season, so I’d be feeling pretty confident if I was @Electrolite !

Also, just wanted to congratulate everyone, especially @Spud and @Silverkeg , for putting on another fantastic championship. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t be involved this season, but maybe next year I can make my triumphant return!

So @electrolite … What kind of times are you managing?…

#
electrolite said 2 months, 2 weeks ago:

@sato113 I got a 1:09.2 after practising yesterday, but I know there’s more time for sure. I can go 3 tenths quicker in the first sector, it’s just matching everywhere else. Hopefully get another session in today!

@magnificent-geoffrey. It’d be truly epic if you (as well as Steve, Ed) were back next season. Not to mention having another black and white car out on track. Well, graphite, by then…

After a bit of practice I am not confident anymore of getting a good result. :(

Am I not the host for this round? But, I shall be there nevertheless.

I don’t mind either way, as I think Electrolite has a better connection than me anyway, though I don’t know what makes a good host (Connection-wise) on F1.

#
sato113 said 2 months, 2 weeks ago:

oh but electro is usually host no?
good upload is key

#
Common Monsoon said 2 months, 2 weeks ago:

Might be worth trying with Jamie as host for this round. And next season we’ll have to do a couple of connection test races before things kick off!

#
sato113 said 2 months, 2 weeks ago:

can @jamiefranklinf1 and @electrolite post their results from speedtest.net?
i dont see why we’re changing host when its been fine all season. or have i missed a recent development?

It’s probably higher than usual because it’s very early morning here – but it’s usually still pretty good! I think the guys were on about it just to mix things up a little now the championship has been decided.

#
Common Monsoon said 2 months, 2 weeks ago:

@sato113 We’re not changing because Electrolite’s internet isn’t fast enough, it’s just we’ve had a lot more disconnects than in previous seasons so we’re thinking his connection might not be stable enough. For all we know, Jamie’s could be worse!

So I’m cool with whatever. Electrolite hosting may even be a better option. At least we know it’s mostly okay… And maybe we can finish a race without a disconnect! Shyguy, all my positive energy is going directly into your router.
