17:58:51: <Salamander> this is excellent :D
18:00:09: <Ferrarist> Hopefully a Voeckler will never set foot into my IndyCar series.
18:00:24: <Salamander> i think youre tempting fate there...
18:00:36: <Ferrarist> No, I'm not. :P
18:00:56: <Ferrarist> I could start to hand out "IndyCar licenses"...
18:00:59: <skippydippy> Hasselhoff Motorsport hereby confirmes a deal with Adelaide Voeckler for the 2017 F1RICS season
18:01:04: <skippydippy> :P
18:01:19: <Salamander> aw crap
18:01:35: <Salamander> brendon jr lost the lea :(
18:01:39: <Salamander> *lead
18:02:05: <Ferrarist> Then Adelaider Voeckler shall be banned, or arrested...something wrong with the visa.
18:02:25: <skippydippy> Hobbydiktator :P
18:02:29: <Nuppiz> mysterious elevator accident
18:03:31: <Salamander> dammit why is brendon going backwards
18:05:22: <Axel> Nuppiz Be careful with Sochi, when someone crash, FPS drops heavily

18:17:58: <Ferrarist> And what is Paulo de Oro doing?
18:18:02: <Salamander> well that was a weird crash
18:18:54: <Axel> lol
18:19:05: <Ferrarist> By the way, I'm surprised how well Tracy runs with the Penske road chassis.
18:22:07: <Ferrarist> Michael's coming closer :)
18:22:24: <Salamander> so is fmv
18:22:53: <Salamander> wow

18:23:51: <dark77> ooh, monster shunt by maroon, that may be an injury
18:23:58: <Salamander> cam maroon forgot to brake :/
18:24:05: <Axel> I don't see it :(
18:24:07: <Ferrarist> Hopefully Maroon's okay. He fast still relatively fast when crashing into the tire barrier
18:25:50: <FMecha> what happen?
18:26:01: <FMecha> Ferrarist have you approved my PSN FR?
18:26:08: <Salamander> somebody set up us the bomb

18:27:01: <Ferrarist> Also, nice fight between, Tracy, Andretti and HWNSNBM
18:27:05: <Axel> ???
18:27:10: <Nuppiz> hmm
18:27:12: <Salamander> you mean fmv ;)
18:27:16: <Ferrarist> And what is Moriya doing?
18:27:26: <Ferrarist> Salamander: Yeah, HWNISNM
18:27:27: <Nuppiz> have the FSKs retired already?
18:27:32: <FMecha> CART, eh?
18:27:39: <FMecha> what is Alden and Hakkinen doing?
18:27:53: <Ferrarist> MICHAEL! WHOOOOOO!
18:27:54: <Salamander> they are nowhere near anywhere interesting
18:28:05: <Nuppiz> oh, there was Anger
18:28:13: <Salamander> dammit brendons back to 5th
18:28:25: <Salamander> im sure he could win this thing, but his cars just crap it seems
18:28:25: <Nuppiz> both cars still in
18:28:31: <Salamander> relatively crap, anyway
18:28:40: <Ferrarist> Someone DSQ Mass!
18:28:55: <Axel> :D
18:29:02: <Salamander> go voeckler go :D
18:29:18: <Axel> de Cesaris clone
18:29:37: <Salamander> miller's doing well
18:29:39: <Salamander> up to 10th not
18:29:40: <Salamander> now
18:30:41: <WaltherWilliams> Something really needs to be done against the backmarkers. They are unable to even make way for cars that are fighting for the lead!
18:30:53: <Salamander> brendon jr mustve driven the wheels off that thing to get it on to the front row
18:31:15: <Salamander> aaaaagh hes still going backwards :/
18:31:49: <Nuppiz> how many drivers score points BTW?
18:34:00: <Salamander> WHOA
18:34:02: <Salamander> what happened
18:34:15: <Nuppiz> Nathan Nurmester happened
18:34:17: <WaltherWilliams> Someone ban Voeckler for this reckless driving!
18:34:21: <Salamander> what
18:34:30: <Salamander> andretti just made that move out of nowhere
18:34:44: <Salamander> if anyone should be penelised it should be nurmester though
18:34:48: WaltherWilliams throws cup of coffee at Voeckler while he driving in pit lane
18:34:53: <dark77> Voeckler will get a warning after the race for aggresive driving
18:34:57: <Salamander> what
18:35:16: <Axel> FUCCKKK
18:35:19: <Axel> ADS!!!!
18:35:30: <Salamander> andretti launched that move exactly as voeckler went to lap nurmester
18:35:37: <Salamander> btw nurmester should be warned
18:35:48: <WaltherWilliams> Well, brave maneuver by Michael, wasn't it?
18:35:56: <Salamander> he was holding up the leaders and didnt even have a front wing :/
18:35:57: <Nuppiz> that's a promising start for him :D
18:36:10: <dark77> nurmester has also made contact with other cars in the race
18:36:27: <WaltherWilliams> Hm, somehow I never get ads. But the video is stuck for a couple of seconds.
18:36:41: <Salamander> because dark is typing a messager
18:36:43: <Salamander> message
18:36:51: <Salamander> i never get ads
18:36:55: <Salamander> because i have ad block :D
18:36:58: <WaltherWilliams> Okay.
18:37:07: <WaltherWilliams> I guess Kaspersky does its job perfectly.
18:37:07: <skippydippy> so do I
18:37:32: <Salamander> get the hell out of the way, duck :/
18:37:33: <AdsAreLosers> Kaspersky :/? I'm using it
18:37:58: <skippydippy> I'm off balling a bit
18:38:42: <dark77> GOD DAMNIT OFFENHAUSER : ((((
18:38:47: <dark77> urgh
18:38:52: <WaltherWilliams> Comfortable lead for Michael! :)
18:38:53: <Salamander> welp
18:39:02: <Salamander> yeah
18:39:09: <Salamander> because tracy pitted
18:39:09: <dark77> well it's far too late for me to restart it now
18:40:05: <AdsAreLosers> why restart?
18:40:07: <WaltherWilliams> Why should you?
18:40:12: <Nuppiz> huh?
18:40:27: <Salamander> hey, i thought i wanted my cars to have unique liveries?
18:40:51: <dark77> well that's exactly why i restarted race 1, because of cars retiring then causing pile-ups : (((
18:41:00: <dark77> shite forgot to add it sorry
18:41:15: <Axel> lol
18:41:30: <Salamander> thats alright, as long as it actually exists and i didnt imagine the other livery
18:41:39: <Axel> We can get Birmingham clone
18:41:40: <Salamander> welp
18:41:48: <Salamander> andretti is screwed
18:41:54: <Axel> Andretti!
18:42:00: <Salamander> he just drove into the back of mass
18:42:03: <Axel> Ugh
18:42:04: <Salamander> well done
18:42:09: <WaltherWilliams> Mass you damn son of a *bleep*. What kind of *bleep* are you, you little *bleep*. *bleep* you, you *bleep*!
18:42:22: <Salamander> jorg scrattenheim leads
18:42:26: <Axel> Traffic
18:42:31: <Salamander> jorg goddamn scrattenheim is leading
18:42:43: <Nuppiz> Mass causing blockage
18:42:57: <Nuppiz> Critical Mass
18:42:59: <dark77> Mass will be either banned or given a warning
18:43:02: <Salamander> what
18:43:07: <Salamander> andretti drove into him
18:43:16: <Salamander> he couldve made a move but didnt
18:43:26: <dark77> okay i'll look into all these in the replay...
18:43:26: <Axel> Nice train of cars
18:43:39: <WaltherWilliams> That's good! Remember, Andretti is one of the remaining stars of the series. If we don't get our way, we'll take him to the IRL!
18:43:47: <Axel> wat
18:43:54: <Axel> Still in pit?
18:44:20: <Salamander> yeah, i should probably kick mcintyre out if she doesnt improve
18:44:42: <Salamander> probably replace her with tony kanaan if no one else takes him by that point :D
18:45:22: <Axel> Nice overlap by Cassidy
18:45:57: <WaltherWilliams> Best position to suffer engine problems...
18:45:57: <Nuppiz> lol
18:46:06: <Salamander> yeah brendon jr is pretty good in wheel-to-wheel, he just needs a better car
18:46:21: <Nuppiz> can I see Anger for a while pls?
18:46:38: <Axel> hmm?
18:46:42: <Axel> Engine?
18:46:49: <Axel> I don't see it
18:46:55: <Salamander> duck jr blew up
18:47:06: <Axel> At?
18:47:20: <Salamander> at?
18:47:44: <Nuppiz> and Anthony Bourdain takes the lead
18:47:45: <Salamander> bourdais takes the lead
18:47:56: <Salamander> the world is spared another scrattenheim victory
18:48:09: <Salamander> well, assuming he doesnt take it back
18:48:35: <Salamander> never mind he screwed it up anyway
18:48:40: <Nuppiz> lolfail
18:48:45: <Axel> You say 01:45 WaltherWilliams Best position to suffer engine problems... So where it is?
18:48:53: <Salamander> there is a reason this guy never got a break in f1rgp2c
18:49:08: <WaltherWilliams> Axel: Middle of a corner
18:49:43: <Axel> Oh. Pretty usual. And wut the Schrattenhei
18:50:04: <Salamander> brendon jr could be leading this right now, if he didnt get utterly screwed by traffic
18:50:35: <Salamander> mcintyre is behind voeckler andretti and tracy :/
18:50:49: <dark77> can we award Me, Dark77 ROTR for allowing 47 cars pls?
18:50:50: <Salamander> even though theyve all had to replace front wings
18:51:01: <Salamander> nah
18:51:06: <Axel> Nope
18:51:07: <Salamander> rotr should be scrattenheim
18:51:11: <Axel> It's interesting
18:51:17: <Salamander> that was mind numbingly dumb of him
18:51:37: <Salamander> besides its actually working out pretty well
18:51:58: <Salamander> holy shite
18:52:04: <Salamander> what a move by servia :o
18:54:39: <Salamander> lolway
18:54:42: <Salamander> lolwat
18:54:48: <Salamander> nice move olivera
18:54:50: <Salamander> :/
18:54:58: <WaltherWilliams> Paulo de Oliveira is still racing? :o
18:55:06: <Salamander> apparently
18:55:25: <Nuppiz> Voecklerfail
18:55:29: <Nuppiz> again
18:55:40: <Salamander> yeah voeckler and malenfant dont seem to get along
18:55:52: <Salamander> theyve been screwing each other over most of the race
18:56:42: <Salamander> goddamn lapped cars
18:56:47: <Axel> So many
18:56:48: <Salamander> theyre killing brendons race :/
18:57:08: <Axel> 11 cars in lead lap
18:57:29: <Salamander> alden continues to be worthless
18:57:40: <Axel> Crash
18:58:19: <Salamander> mass is an idiot :/
18:58:29: <Salamander> just drove staight into miller there
18:59:57: <Salamander> goddammit mcintyre
19:00:05: <Salamander> and nikolov
19:00:07: <Axel> booom
19:00:20: <Salamander> that was so stupid
19:00:46: <Nuppiz> So how many drivers score points? Top 15?
19:00:51: <Salamander> no idea
19:01:05: <dark77> i'll decide after this race :D
19:01:14: <Salamander> top 20 i say
19:01:24: <Axel> wut
19:01:32: <Salamander> ?
19:01:44: <Nuppiz> why the hell are we so slow?
19:02:07: <Nuppiz> is the Lola chassis crap?
19:02:50: <Axel> hmm
19:03:05: <Axel> Can't I run a series but also participate in my series?
19:04:07: <Salamander> you can
19:04:12: <Salamander> but its generally not advised
19:04:35: <Axel> Connor slowing
19:04:49: <Axel> Fear of cheating?
19:06:39: <Salamander> yeah pretty much
19:07:02: <Axel> I have an idea
19:07:13: <Axel> Create faux account
19:07:19: <Salamander> :/
19:07:20: <Salamander> no
19:07:41: <Salamander> if you want to run a team in rejects-1 no one will stop you
19:08:11: <skippydippy> the only problem is when your team has success
19:08:16: <skippydippy> then people will raise their eyebrows
19:08:20: <Salamander> yeah
19:08:26: <Axel> :/
19:08:38: <Salamander> see: dgngineering
19:08:49: <Axel> I'm figuring out how upgrades will be done
19:08:49: <skippydippy> even though aerond really did nothing to rig the system
19:08:52: <Cynon> HELLO AND WELCOME TO A CAPS-LOCKING GOOD DAY ON THE FORMULA 1 REJECTS IRC
19:08:59: <skippydippy> only the system itself was wrong
19:09:00: <Salamander> whoa what the hel
19:09:32: <skippydippy> RRR isn't here yet :/
19:09:33: <Cynon> 8)
19:09:34: <Nuppiz> CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!
19:09:37: <Axel> Mark Dagnall dominating problem?
19:09:53: <skippydippy> yeah
19:10:00: <skippydippy> was down to the driver upgrade system being bullshit
19:10:04: <Cynon> Hmmm
19:10:11: <Cynon> Going to do some Marathon 1 on Major Damage
19:10:17: <skippydippy> and aerond being the only one to abuse i
19:10:19: <skippydippy> *it
19:10:30: <Salamander> we're watching dark's cart series atm
19:10:32: <Cynon> :D
19:10:33: <Salamander> or at least, i am
19:10:35: <Cynon> Oh fun
19:10:42: <Cynon> something far more interesting
19:10:54: <Nuppiz> and the suspicions only excalated when Dagnall switched over to MRT and that hand grenade of a car suddenly became reliable
19:11:00: <WaltherWilliams> It's not fun! Michael's victory was stolen from that stupid arsehole Mass!
19:11:01: <Salamander> yup
19:11:06: <Axel> Lol
19:11:11: <Nuppiz> escalated*
19:11:14: <Axel> Eh not lol
19:11:19: <Axel> *wut
19:11:20: <Salamander> brendon jr's victory was stolen by the lapped cars all being assholes
19:11:24: <KlonOfPersonality> >implying I haven't just reload the chat just to see the ustream link
19:11:38: <KlonOfPersonality> Go Bourdais
19:11:51: <Salamander> andretti lost his victory due to driving straight into a lapped car
19:12:02: <Axel> Cynon Now one slot is open for Rejecttrucks?
19:12:03: <WaltherWilliams> That lapped car blocked him!
19:12:11: <Salamander> how
19:12:15: <Salamander> there was plenty of space to the inside
19:12:19: <Cynon> Yes
19:12:23: <Salamander> he didnt move across or anything
19:12:29: <WaltherWilliams> He blocked...by his sheer presence. :p
19:12:46: <Nuppiz> meanwhile Nathan Nurmester has been his usual self, crashing into anything that moves :P
19:12:55: <Axel> It is okay to have extra entry for me?
19:13:09: <Nuppiz> it's your call really
19:13:17: <Cynon> How many do you have in presently?
19:13:25: <Axel> 1 truck
19:13:50: <Nuppiz> RE: running a team in your own series
19:14:14: <Cynon> Nuppiz, I do that all the time. XD
19:14:29: <Nuppiz> it's tolerable in historical series which don't define anything else than historic backround to various characters and organizations
19:14:36: <Salamander> goddammit rice
19:14:44: <Salamander> piss off and let brendon through :/
19:14:52: <Nuppiz> but in feeder categories, it's quite suspicious to do so
19:14:53: <Salamander> OH
19:14:55: <Salamander> MAZZACANE
19:15:01: <dark77> pavetti is a bloody moron :/
19:15:13: <Salamander> yup
19:15:14: <Salamander> :/
19:15:38: <dark77> bathplug it i'm black flagging him now and i might black flag Mass
19:15:42: <Cynon> Nuppiz, I do it for TM Master Cup because then I can get away with a lot of political battles between the teams that otherwise wouldn't happen.
19:15:53: <Salamander> black flag nikolov
19:16:11: <Axel> uh
19:16:13: <Salamander> he drove straight into mcintyre and didnt even try to brake
19:16:25: <Cynon> Funny thing is that I do it in TM Lights as well but my own TM Lights drivers usually don't go anywhere
19:16:40: <Cynon> They usually blow chunks
19:17:14: <Nuppiz> well in that case it's fine :P
19:17:19: <Cynon> Jefferson Grand Prix
19:17:42: <Cynon> If they have team jets, are they called the Jefferson Airplanes? :D
19:17:53: <Axel> Cynon So it's no?
19:18:00: <Nuppiz> but say, if Nick Nurmester had moved to IFRC due to the F3RWRS age limit and he had suddenly become good, it sure would've raised a few eyebrows :P
19:18:08: <Cynon> Axel I guess
19:18:17: <Axel> okay
19:18:34: <Cynon> Nuppiz, Paul Lyons started doing well in TM Lights, but he's an obvious dead-ender because he's not moving back up full-time. Kind of like Elliott Sadler or Brian Vickers.
19:19:10: <Axel> Servia and Bourdais is flying
19:19:29: <Cynon> Is Servia's car white?
19:19:29: <KlonOfPersonality> go Bourdais
19:19:31: <KlonOfPersonality> you can do this
19:19:35: <Salamander> yeah it is
19:19:39: <Cynon> Is it the...
19:19:44: <Cynon> white rabbit?
19:19:46: <Cynon> 8)
19:19:54: <Salamander> the what now
19:20:26: <Axel> I would like to see Madunochevs dominating
19:20:26: <Nuppiz> looool

19:20:28: <WaltherWilliams> Michael :(
19:20:43: <WaltherWilliams> This wouldn't have happened to his father!
19:20:45: <captain_getz> is this altART?
19:20:47: <Cynon> I actually thought about adding Silvia Renaldi to the Mexican Rejectrucks race and starting her from last
19:20:51: <Nuppiz> Michael Andretti being about as useful here as in F1
19:20:52: <Cynon> not that it would matter really
19:21:01: <Salamander> well no, nuppiz
19:21:06: <Salamander> hes actually been quick
19:21:09: <Axel> Ugh XD
19:21:15: <Axel> Overtake fail

19:22:23: <Nuppiz> nein laps to go
19:23:08: <captain_getz> why is michael andretti in this race again?
19:23:26: <Salamander> because ferrarist wanted to run him
19:23:38: <Salamander> :/
19:23:44: <KlonOfPersonality> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Injuries
(Done using RNG)
There were 3 nasty looking incidents where cars hit the T1 barrier:

Cam Maroon hit the wall at 98 mph, he has a 20% chance of injury:
75! Maroon walks away.

Michael Andretti collided at 82 mph, he has a 15% chance of injury:
60! Andretti is okay.

Rick Douglais crashed at 94 mph, he has an 18% of injury:
11! Douglais will miss one race.

Bans
Pavetti, Nikolov and Mass have been banned for one race for holding up the race leaders while being lapped and in some cases causing accidents which damaged the leaders cars.

Team owners have until Wednesday 10th 18:00 GMT to choose replacement drivers. If they do not respond then the drivers will be chosen by me.

Cassidy Jr: "We did not deserve a podium"

Following the chaotic Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, Brendon Cassidy Jr, 25, has stated that he is unhappy with the performance of his car in the race.

"We had a great qualifying run to get on the front row, and I hoped we could just control the race from there," Cassidy said in an interview after the race, "We did lead for a bit, but the car was just no match at all for the top 7 or 8 guys. I tried as hard as I could but it was just a total lost cause. We did not deserve a podium today, and I think we all know that. "

The younger Cassidy, now in his third season and is still searching for his first CART victory, was also very vocal over the radio concerning backmarkers. Inconsiderate backmarkers were a major part of the race, as several key contenders were eliminated in clashes while negotiating lapped traffic

"The guys at the back just had no respect for the leaders out there at all. I can't even begin to count the amount of times I had to back off become some douchebag decided taking his line was more important than not ruining the race. It was just ridiculous out there, CART made a bad call letting so many cars start the race. It should be 30, tops. If you can't make the cut then that's your problem."

Cassidy's teammates had contrasting days: Brett Miller had a spirited comeback from 26th to finish 5th, and was duelling with Rick Douglais before the latter's accident. Angela McIntyre struggled at the the rear of the field before Nikola Nikolov speared into the back of her, eventually earning Nikolov a disqualification. McIntyre wound up 18th, 3 laps down.

Since the Rejectruck Series is still in the make up, Sasha Hawke will replace Artesia Mass in MRS

Oops! Kinda forgot that I need to follow chronology in the ASMF . Artesia's replacement will be anounced in a couple of hours

[Nuppiz]

Did my cars crash out, or were the retirements caused by mechanical issues?

Okay, what's his/her nationality?

Highlights video

He's Italian. Half-Italian, half-japanese. With 25 years, he's MRS reserve driver, with experience in F-Nippon.

[Nessafox]

Brilliant idea crashing in to your team boss, Leonhard. Just brilliant.

[FantometteBR]

At least O'Connor didn't had any trouble during the race

[eichy]

Pavetti will be replaced in the 88 by Canadian driver Trevor Meyer.

[takagi_for_the_win]

Top 10 for Horan, nice

[Onxy Wrecked]

13th and 25th... speaking of which Genki Racing will confirm that Moriya is racing for at least the next three events given the 13th place finish. Rzepczynski might be replaced if he keeps running well off the pace (5 laps down when his team mate who was equally slow in qualifying finished 13th, 2 laps down)

[Nuppiz]

Did my cars crash out, or were the retirements caused by mechanical issues?

Both crashed out

Well that's a great way to start the season.

[Onxy Wrecked]

Well that's a great way to start the season.

At least they weren't 5 laps off the pace and still running. Think about it as Gaston Mazzacane or Max Chilton crawling around out there. As in Marcin was behind Michael Andretti who had a turn one collision and still finished three laps down after extricating the car from the tires.

[Gerudo Dragon]

The Grand Prix of Monterey starts Friday 18:00 GMT.

As pycku did not nominate a replacement driver in time, Nikolov's seat will be filled by Buckshot Jones for this race, before any of you object to this as unrealistic it's important to remember that this is simply a punishment for not choosing a driver in time and that Jones might DNQ anyway

21:23:22: <Shadaza> expect some big gaps
21:23:50: <Shadaza> Sebastian Alonso is the first runner to the finish, he beats the camera man by 4 minutes
21:24:30: <Pasta> dark77 can we have an on board of the Valvoline car please? :P

21:25:23: <Pasta> Wait, I'm not sure if I sent it...
21:25:54: <Pasta> aRENALES!
21:26:11: <Shadaza> Fantomettes Vergamet tops that, by 1'48 seconds!
21:27:33: <Shadaza> Jaques La Rossa is currently 4th for Fosters
21:27:38: <Shadaza> after 28 riders
21:27:48: <Pasta> Semi decent job
21:27:48: <Shadaza> Skiverton goes 2nd now
21:27:56: <Shadaza> 1'12 off the lead
21:28:38: <Shadaza> news near the front
21:28:46: <Shadaza> Twinings Denver is only 1 second off the best time at the first checkpoint
21:29:02: <Shadaza> the rider is only 2 minutes off overall lead, field spread is as much as 8 minutes today
21:29:12: <Salamander> goddammit brendon what happened?
21:30:01: <Shadaza> Denver is only 5 seconds off at the second checkpoint
21:30:11: <Shadaza> if things go well he could end up with overall tour lead!
21:30:42: <Salamander> wait what
21:31:40: <Shadaza> he is 12 seconds off the stage best at checkpoint 3.
21:31:56: <Shadaza> for refrence, current 2n'd place on the stage is over a minute behind
21:32:02: <Shadaza> and these are time trial specialists
21:32:13: <Shadaza> the non time trial riders are going to lose a ton of time
21:32:34: <Shadaza> no time trialists are losing around 5 minutes!
21:32:42: <Shadaza> and Denver is only 3 minutes off overall lead
21:33:19: <Salamander> wow
21:33:36: <Shadaza> *2'15 behind tour leader Firenze
21:34:48: <Shadaza> oh wow
21:34:53: <Shadaza> Denver has topped the times
21:34:56: <Salamander> :D
21:34:58: <Salamander> hell yeah
21:35:07: <Shadaza> from 12 seconds behind at point 3, he has a 8 second lead of the stage at the flag
21:35:11: <Shadaza> no one is close to beating it
21:36:44: <Shadaza> this is the first time Denver has done anything of note
21:37:02: <Salamander> what is he, the time trial version of alex harris?
21:37:17: <Shadaza> but it won't be overall lead
21:37:35: <Shadaza> Preston Senersen for UBC has had a MIGHTY last checkpoint
21:37:57: <Salamander> :(
21:38:07: <Salamander> oh well
21:38:10: <Shadaza> he went from being 1'33 behind at checkpoint 3, to ending the stage 11 seconds behind Denver
21:38:27: <Salamander> :o
21:38:28: <Shadaza> Senersen is over a minute ahead in the standings
21:39:39: <Shadaza> Firenze ended up 5'43 seconds behind stage winner Jacob Denver of Twinings
21:40:04: <Shadaza> it wwas a great run from the Twinings Rider, but it will be Preston Senersen that take GC lead
21:40:23: <Salamander> eh, still a great run from denver
21:40:25: <Shadaza> I belive it will put Denver 2nd overall
21:40:43: <Shadaza> stage result:
21:42:04: <Shadaza> 1. Denver (Twi) 2.Vergamet +00'08 (Fantomette) 3.Senersen +00'11 (UBC) 4.Van de Graaf +01'11 (UBC) 5.Jung-un (CCI) +1'14
21:42:20: <Shadaza> yes that is right, the top 3 had a minute gap over the rest at least
21:42:42: <Salamander> not bad
21:43:23: <Salamander> hmmm, that was a bit of a half-hearted attempt at lapping someone from bianchi...
21:44:24: <Salamander> goddammit why is brendons car a pile of shite?
21:44:37: <Shadaza> Stramala would be having a rage fit if he was here
21:45:10: <Shadaza> oh god
21:45:19: <Shadaza> a Mabbazana rider is 3rd overall
21:45:31: <Shadaza> the joke team
21:45:51: <Pasta> Why are the other two MBR's so off the pace? goddamit
21:46:07: <Shadaza> Firenze has dropped to 9th
21:46:18: <Shadaza> No Fosters riders in the top 20
21:46:40: <Shadaza> or top 30
21:46:46: <Shadaza> Daniel Sims is now 31st overall
21:48:13: <Shadaza> so Denver is 2nd overall, 1'01 off the lead of Preston Senersen
21:48:26: <Pasta> Shadaza, why is our sprint and flat team so bloody awful?
21:48:32: <Shadaza> Denver had over that as a lead for 3/4 of the time trial
21:48:48: <Shadaza> well in terms of GC, sprint and flat never feature up there
21:48:58: <Pasta> We've got quite a few sprint/tt/flat specialists but they appear to have done nothing so far.
21:49:06: <Shadaza> their role is to support, not to win mostly
21:49:27: <Shadaza> apart from sprinters, they are meant to win individual stages, not whole tours
21:49:59: <Shadaza> and tbh your sprinters are not all that bad
21:50:15: <Shadaza> plus, I am not certain but I think age is a factor on performances
21:50:24: <Shadaza> your team is really young
21:50:42: <Shadaza> Klaus Fahrrad is young, but for some reason he is freakishly good
21:50:48: <Shadaza> same with Sims
21:50:52: <Pasta> Fair enough. Maybe I should give them so more slack
21:51:13: <RealRacingRoots> indycar will have standing starts at toronto tomorrow :O
21:51:27: <Klon_Rules> slowpoke
21:51:42: <RealRacingRoots> Bourdais and Sato to win this weekend
21:52:08: <Shadaza> I hope so
21:52:12: <Pasta> Standing starts are the better type of start :P
21:52:22: <Shadaza> 100%
21:52:47: <Shadaza> though it does depend on the event
21:53:10: <Shadaza> a standing start on an oval, no good
21:53:12: <Pasta> On an oval, they'd be kind apointless
21:53:20: <Shadaza> a standing start with over 50 cars in lemans, no
21:53:49: <Shadaza> (although they used to damn ny kill each other attempting worse!)
21:54:35: <Shadaza> I think rolling starts in F1 would be one rule that made me upset
21:55:20: <Pasta> What's making me upset at the moment is all this hhullabaloo about pitstops
21:55:35: <Shadaza> kneejerk reactions are the only reactions in F1
21:55:42: <Pasta> Exactly.
21:55:49: <Shadaza> because unless there is a crazy incident they don't do shite
21:56:19: <Pasta> And then you get people like go_Rubens on the forums, not meaning to ingle him out, but they advocate that everyone should wrap themselves up in cotton wool and sit at home all day just to make sure no one gets hurt
21:56:59: <Shadaza> hmm, I think the rule changes are kneejerk, but not entirely unreasonable either
21:57:26: <Pasta> Banning media from the pitlane make sense
21:57:39: <Pasta> But reducing the pit lane speed limit? That's ridiculous
21:57:52: <Shadaza> I actually agree, that is the worse bit
21:58:14: <Shadaza> because that actually impacts the strategy and racing, you can make things safer and not compromise action
21:58:17: <Pasta> Also, people are acting like an unsafe release means that that team is a new incarnation of hitler
21:58:49: <Shadaza> accidents happen, Red Bull were more upset about it then anyone else.
21:59:16: <Pasta> Exactly. I would hate to see mandated pitstop times or a reduction in the number of mechanics
21:59:28: <Pasta> Some ideas suggested in the PSMF
22:00:47: <Shadaza> well it would change the racing, if pitstops have to be much longer the current Pirellis would have to go for a start. Because no team would ever want to do more than 1 stop
22:00:59: <Shadaza> because pitstops are seen as almost a penalty in most racing
22:01:09: <Shadaza> F1 it is "pit in and go faster"
22:01:21: <Pasta> Which is the right attitude, in my opinion
22:01:31: <Pasta> That's how the modern pitstop was born
22:03:26: <Salamander> exactly
22:04:11: <Salamander> if youre going to penelise people for making a pitstop, theres no point in them
22:04:48: <Pasta> Donnelly passes Mazzacane!
22:04:54: <Klon_Rules> aside from aquiring the things needed to finish a race
22:05:14: <Salamander> damn, that mustve been some pie you gave him pasta
22:05:58: <Pasta> CASSIDY OUT!
22:06:04: <Cynon> Shadaza, that would be part of the fun. No team would want to do more than one stop, but is it worth losing all that time on shitty tires?
22:06:05: <Salamander> ...
22:06:16: <Cynon> :]
22:06:25: <Salamander> who did donnelly hit
22:06:30: <Salamander> not donnelly
22:06:32: <Salamander> cassidy
22:06:32: <Shadaza> Cynon, I can hear Ross Brawn crying from here
22:06:47: <Cynon> bathplug Ross Brawn
22:06:48: <Pasta> He hit Mazzacane I beleive
22:06:52: <Pasta> dark77 didnt see it
22:06:55: <Cynon> and his 48 hour stubble
22:07:06: <Cynon> especially his 48 hour stubble
22:07:25: <Salamander> damn you mazzacane
22:09:54: <Shadaza> just realised, in the Dauphine it is a USA 1-2 in GC and a USA-Canda-USA top in the stage
22:10:02: <Shadaza> the Americans are coming
22:10:20: <Pasta> Updated Cassiyd Racing lvieries including the VALVOLINE CAR http://www.mediafire.com/?3tzbu7rc66m2qjp
22:10:54: <Salamander> thanks man :)
22:11:33: <Pasta> No problem :P Making liveries is at least something I'm semi-good at
22:14:04: <Pasta> is that frederic-maxime?
22:14:22: <Pasta> IT IS!
22:14:39: <Pasta> Jefferson Grand Prix? :S
22:15:35: <Pasta> C'mon Donnely, get that podium!
22:17:29: <Pasta> Bianchi? FFS
22:19:15: <Pasta> Anyone here interested in customer Bentley chassis/engines for F1WRCR 1953?
22:19:17: <Salamander> kunz is an ass
22:19:31: <Salamander> not letting donnelly by
22:20:12: <Salamander> cameron maroon is 6th...
22:22:25: <dark77> god this is boring, then again it's a dark77-run race so what do you expect ;D
22:23:02: <Salamander> hey, rtcc was awesome
22:23:05: <Klon_Rules> no
22:23:05: <Klon_Rules> Pasta
22:23:05: <Salamander> so was the first race
22:23:16: <Klon_Rules> since Mercedes-Benz have arrived with their powerful U10 engine
22:23:39: <Pasta> Pah. It's 1953, people still distrust the Germans :P
22:24:26: <Klon_Rules> yeah
22:24:30: <Klon_Rules> but not German engineering
22:25:59: <Pasta> If you become a Bentley customer, you receive a free flat cap of your choice AND a walnut cigar case AND a clay pigeon shooting gun. What amount of German engineering can make up for that?
22:26:26: <Klon_Rules> with Mercedes-Benz you recieve the lead in the top speed category
22:27:56: <Pasta> Tracy loses a front wing!
22:28:01: <Pasta> Podium for Donnely!
22:31:00: <Salamander> awesome :D
22:31:07: <Salamander> top 5 for cam maroon as well
22:32:27: <Salamander> wat
22:32:36: <Salamander> how did navarro lose that rear wheel in the pitlane
22:32:49: <dark77> mignolet hit him
22:33:05: <Salamander> welp

Championship positions will be posted soon.

[RonDenisDeletraz]

Truly brilliant race for my team. Both cars second and fourth

[AustralianStig]

Whoa how on earth did Craig Lowndes go from 34th to 8th??

The Holden Dealer Team are very happy with their current line-up of Lowndes and Tracy and will be keeping them both on for the foreseeable future.

[Onxy Wrecked]

Whoa how on earth did Craig Lowndes go from 34th to 8th??

The Holden Dealer Team are very happy with their current line-up of Lowndes and Tracy and will be keeping them both on for the foreseeable future.

Just ask the same of Hirokazu Moriya from 42nd to 15th at Long Beach... Of course DNQing the next race shows how slow the cars are. It's like an actual Onyx in 1989 where it either DNQ'd or seemed to march up the order to heights that it had no reason reaching. It's possible, but unlikely to happen that one can gain 25+ positions in a race. Beware, this could happen to Lowndes given where the car qualified in the first place.

[SeedStriker]

Well, my reserve driver went faster that my lead one... Artesia need to up the ante if she's to keep her place as starter.

[Salamander]

Good race for us. Shame I can't get the one lap pace down like Brendon, but I'm scoring points, which is always good.

AAAAA WHYYYYY!? WHY MUST NOTHING EVER GO RIGHT!?

[AxelP800]

I would like to give free agents for this series. They would still in my control when they hired by teams .

By the way did I ever specify a livery? If not then can you please give the cars a livery similar to the mid 2000s Forsythe cars.

[Gerudo Dragon]

By the way, all drivers that were banned for last round will return for Michigan by default

21:14:33: <dark77> Voeckler on pole!! :D :D
21:15:03: <seedstriker> WTF, Man?!!
21:15:29: <Salamander> wat
21:15:56: <Stramala> yeah!
21:16:01: <Guest63237> Wait, what happened to the old grid?
21:16:03: <Stramala> at last
21:16:09: <Stramala> no more bathplug Servia
21:16:22: <seedstriker> How's Artesia Mass doing after her being banned one race?
21:16:26: <dark77> the game crashed and i had to restart the PC
21:16:32: <dark77> which means i had to do qualifying again
21:16:55: <dark77> http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6040&p=251494#p251494
21:16:57: <dark77> new grid
21:17:26: <Aeroracing> 12Dark77 you're running your series on RFactor?
21:17:31: <Aeroracing> 12Or what are you using?
21:17:32: <dark77> aeroracing yep
21:17:35: <dark77> rfactor
21:17:39: <Aeroracing> 12Interesting...
21:17:46: <Guest63237> Well, I was going to sack Offenhauser for DNQing, but never mind.
21:17:48: <Aeroracing> 12Is there a place available for my team next season?
21:18:21: <dark77> there might be if some of the current teams are inactive enough
21:18:38: <Aeroracing> 12Alright I'll keep attention
21:18:38: <dark77> right now the waiting list consists of roblomas and rated
21:18:46: <Aeroracing> 12Put me on the waiting list
21:18:53: <dark77> k
21:18:57: <Stramala> wooooooooo
21:19:00: <Stramala> much better grid for IBR
21:19:09: <Stramala> Alliot was like 41st the last time
21:19:12: <dark77> i like this grid more now
21:19:19: <Stramala> :D
21:19:19: <Stramala> now 5th
21:19:20: <Guest63237> I like this grid as well.
21:19:21: <dark77> too many experienced drivers DNQd in the first one
21:19:40: <dark77> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/darkapprentice77
21:19:51: <dark77> as i said before, stream might be choppy, let me know if it is
21:19:53: <seedstriker> C'mon, man! MRS barely qualified this time around!
21:20:07: <seedstriker> The officials will have to respond to me!!
21:20:18: <seedstriker> I'm putting a Stoddart!!
21:20:38: <Salamander> you think you have it bad?
21:20:42: <Guest63237> Davies takes pole for Monaco, will post grid up in a sec.
21:20:50: <Guest63237> If it's any consolation Salamander.
21:21:02: <Aeroracing> 12McAllister?
21:21:05: <Salamander> mcintyre and miller are right at the back
21:21:11: <Guest63237> McAllister 3rd.
21:21:16: <Salamander> oh davies taking pole is just fine :D
21:21:42: <Salamander> oh wait, donnelly is on the front row :D
21:21:44: <Salamander> hell yes
21:22:09: <seedstriker> You were saying?
21:22:14: <Cynon> WE ON FIAR
21:22:24: <RealRacingRoots> Disco Inferno
21:22:25: <Cynon> :P
21:22:25: <Cynon> 74/75 car is done
21:22:31: <seedstriker> CAUTION, CAUTION!!
21:22:39: <Cynon> HA
21:22:46: <Cynon> gooby wut r bracks?
21:24:19: <RealRacingRoots> ARCA BRACKS
21:24:35: <Guest63237> Aerond never did send me those Monaco track files though...
21:25:38: <FMecha> check grandprix2.de guest63237
21:26:58: <seedstriker> It's the weekend of the blows. The firefox just crashed...
21:28:02: <Aeroracing> 12Is Paul Hembery nearby?
21:30:22: <dark77> ....yeah, the stream's unwatchable
21:30:30: <dark77> excuse me while i turn Aero off
21:30:50: <Guest63237> I bet it's the 1975 version, right FMecha?
21:35:16: <seedstriker> Well, at least, Casval and Artesia are racing in tandem
21:35:29: <seedstriker> Midfield, but safe for now
21:37:59: <seedstriker> All the field is in the same strategy of the first yellow flag saw action in the pits?
21:38:37: <Stramala> how did Voeckler get on at the start?
21:40:24: <seedstriker> And Paul Tracy did what he's best: an epic shunt
21:40:38: <Guest63237> Darn, Offenhauser's out.
21:42:08: <dark77> tracy/offenhauser might be injured
21:43:52: <seedstriker> Hey!! Foul play!!
21:44:09: <seedstriker> Who put Casval into the wall?!!
22:04:31: <dark77> OH A MASSIVE, HUGE ACCIDENT
22:17:14: <dark77> hello, nurmester may be out for the rest of the year following a HUGE accident
22:17:23: <dark77> where his car rolled multiple times
22:17:36: <dark77> he might be okay though if it determine the crash to be unrealistic
22:18:15: <Salamander> oh dear
22:20:56: <dark77> the accident took out seriva aswell
22:26:58: <dark77> : O
22:27:04: <dark77> BOURDAIS HAS BEEN KILLED EVERYONE
22:27:58: <seedstriker> Holy mother of... Reminds me what happened to Dan Wheldon
22:28:26: <dark77> ........
22:28:35: <dark77> everyone except malenfant has crashed out
22:28:50: <Salamander> wtf
22:29:05: <Aeroracing> 12Damn...
22:29:25: <Aeroracing> 12Who will win all those Champ Car championships now?
22:29:26: <dark77> okay, i think i'll say that the race was red flagged and count the results as just before everyone crashed
22:29:32: <dark77> also i was wrong
22:29:33: <Aeroracing> 12More crucially though...
22:29:33: <seedstriker> This was a farce. There wasn't even yellow flags
22:29:37: <dark77> michael andretti was killed
22:29:48: <dark77> yeah i usually turn off flag rules in rfactor
22:29:50: <Aeroracing> 12Who will take that seat at Toro Rosso now?
22:29:53: <Stramala> wat
22:29:58: <dark77> because it often brings out yellow flags for minor accident
22:29:58: <Aeroracing> 12Holy bathplug
22:30:28: <Stramala> replay pls!
22:30:33: <Aeroracing> 12Well, I know this might not be the most appropriate moment but...
22:30:42: <Stramala> GAH
22:30:44: <Stramala> stream doesn't work!
22:30:50: <dark77> i turned the stream off
22:30:50: <Stramala> I need to see this.
22:30:52: <Aeroracing> 12Can I propose a driver of mine to take one of the vacant seats until I can have my own team?
22:30:56: <Stramala> :(
22:31:03: <seedstriker> I propose another reset WITH THE FLAGS ON!!
22:31:08: <Stramala> uh
22:31:08: <Stramala> so
22:31:14: <Stramala> how many people died?
22:31:25: <dark77> i think the accident would've happened anyway tbh
22:31:56: <dark77> well there were 2 major accidents
22:32:02: <Stramala> Bourdais? Andretti? Nurmsester? are they all ded?
22:32:10: <dark77> the first one may have sidelined nurmester for the whole year
22:32:18: <dark77> if i determine it to be realistic
22:33:06: <dark77> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/darkapprentice77
22:33:26: <dark77> hello wizzie, the michigan race has just been red flagged following a catastrophic accident
22:33:34: <dark77> which took out nearly the whole field
22:33:34: <wizzie> Who ded, bro?
22:33:39: <dark77> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/darkapprentice77
22:33:45: <dark77> i'm going through the replay now
22:34:53: <Cynon> NOOO
22:34:56: <Cynon> That's a bad wreck
22:34:58: <Cynon> :O
22:35:01: <Stramala> uh
22:35:03: <Stramala> I closed it
22:35:07: <Stramala> reopening it now
22:35:12: <Cynon> Tat's REALLY BAD
22:35:14: <dark77> yeah
22:35:20: <dark77> that's like greg moore
22:35:34: <Cynon> That's like Rusty Wallace in a Champ Car
22:35:35: <Stramala> oh shitting bathplug
22:35:36: <Stramala> he ded
22:35:43: <Cynon> which means his brain got turned into gravy
22:35:58: <dark77> believe it or not, that's not the accident that ended the race
22:36:06: <wizzie> There's about three or four guys that are either dead or in for a long hospital stay after that one
22:36:24: <dark77> but was it realistic? because if it isn't then no one's getting injured
22:36:24: <Cynon> rip in peaces
22:36:34: <Stramala> seems realistic to me
22:36:48: <seedstriker> Way too overkill...
22:36:49: <Cynon> Only time I've seen a Champ Car do that was Ongais in like, 1985
22:37:01: <wizzie> Yeah. As much as I hate to say it, it was almost like the Vegas pileup a few years ago :/
22:37:12: <wizzie> Without Nurmester flipping over about two million times
22:37:19: <Cynon> That's bad
22:37:28: <dark77> that took out Servia aswell
22:37:31: <Stramala> Alden is dead surel
22:37:40: <Cynon> Is it also bad if I tried to recreate that kind of flying cars with NR2003? :X
22:37:50: <Stramala> so where's the other accident then
22:37:57: <Cynon> Spoiler Alert NR2003 AI don't fly
22:38:03: <dark77> NOW for the race ended accident
22:38:06: <seedstriker> Oh, crap! Alden's head is gone!!!
22:38:14: <Cynon> Unless you put a drop in front of them and give them no brakes
22:38:19: <Cynon> Alden's everything is gone
22:38:23: <Cynon> O wait he's out of the car
22:38:24: <Cynon> lel
22:38:45: <Cynon> NOOOOOOOO
22:39:11: <Stramala> oh sheeet
22:39:13: <Cynon> Actually I think they all hit the engine
22:39:38: <Stramala> top lel
22:39:42: <wizzie> shite, they must have hit him at almost top speed :/
22:39:49: <dark77> basically everyone piles into eachother
22:39:58: <Cynon> Why are rFactor AI so retarded?
22:40:12: <Cynon> Furthermore
22:40:14: <RealRacingRoots> Thats a good question
22:40:21: <Stramala> I think you've just to to curtail the race
22:40:23: <Stramala> give nobody any points
22:40:23: <Cynon> there's a tire in pitlane
22:40:27: <seedstriker> Michael hit the wall full throttle head on
22:40:35: <Cynon> Brain slushie
22:40:45: <wizzie> Yeah. There's no point continuing with this race
22:40:47: <seedstriker> Like Gordon Smiley at Indy
22:40:56: <Aerond> What series is on?
22:41:02: <RealRacingRoots> Alt Cart
22:41:03: <dark77> aerond Alternate CART
22:41:05: <Aeroracing> 12I believe I'm missing something really ghastly
22:41:11: <wizzie> And maybe try to find another version of Michigan before next season
22:41:12: <dark77> where there's been a race ending accident
22:41:24: <dark77> is the second one realistic?
22:41:25: <Stramala> I think it is safe to say, quite a lot of people are dead.
22:41:37: <Cynon> No
22:41:42: <Stramala> Yes Aeroracing. It's quite gruesome
22:41:46: <Cynon> Everyone in that = dead
22:41:55: <wizzie> The problem I have with the second one is that they should have thrown out the yellow long before it happened
22:42:01: <Cynon> And everyone who passed it is prolly dead from alcohol poisoning
22:42:05: <wizzie> Actually, doesn't rFactor have a safety car?
22:42:17: <dark77> wizzie yes but i rarely turn flag rules on
22:42:29: <wizzie> Well there's your problem :P
22:42:35: <Cynon> :P
22:43:09: <dark77> i think i'll forget everything that happened after andretti's crash
22:43:57: <seedstriker> That doesn't help poor Michael...
22:43:57: <Stramala> so..
22:44:01: <Stramala> it's just Andretti that's dead then
22:44:15: <Cynon> I'd honestly say that it probably does
22:44:31: <Cynon> because those cars could take a head on impact really well by 2002.
22:45:51: <dark77> i don't know if i want to kill michael or not
22:46:00: <Cynon> Then don't
22:46:21: <Cynon> and have him say "Fug dis shite" and get out
22:46:25: <seedstriker> If he's not dead, then he'll lose the rest of the season due injuries
22:46:34: <dark77> that's what i was thinking
22:47:02: <seedstriker> Just like Nurmester

The Durex 200 at The Glen starts July 30th 18:00 GMT, remember; you must confirm your drivers for this race or else you'll be thrown out, with exception to the team owners that posted in the 'just nipping out for a while' thread.

Shame about Nurmester and Andretti. Tough to sit out an entire season, I ca imagine.

Malenfant did well

[tristan1117]

Er, if Offenhauser's not injured, he and Gonzalez are returning until the next confirmation date.

[Gerudo Dragon]

Er, if Offenhauser's not injured, he and Gonzalez are returning until the next confirmation date.

I viewed the replay and determined that Offy is okay

Looks like good race pace and eternally slow qualifying cars.

[RonDenisDeletraz]

Where did Buddy Rice get an extra 14 points from?

[Gerudo Dragon]

Where did Buddy Rice get an extra 14 points from?

Hmm, for some reason there was another 4th place in the excel file, thanks for spotting that

I kind of wish that I hadn't pointed it out but OK
