I think there is more than meets the eye on Livina's retirement, I guess we will never know though...
|
|
|
Rain could stop now......
|
|
|
The non-stop crew got rewarded today, brave decision but could easily have ended with 0 points.
|

It stopped as soon as I posted......wow.....You are correct Jed....but thats how rain races go....lottery, lottery, lottery....and the race isnt over yet.....

It doesn't matter now, even if it rains from here until the end you and Celso will finish 1st and 2nd because of the strategy. Was a good decision :)
E- If you don't smoke out ofc
|
|
|
And there you go......i start to smoke.....dammit alll
|
|
|
Rough calculation, I will be 2s behind you at the checkered flag, going to be close...
|
|
|
I had you at 5 secs.....but my car has to hold together for 14 more laps.....woof.....for the cup advancement too!
Frustrating part is I did not have any parts close to failing...it was a random....

I care more about the points in the standings, don't want you running away with the group win :)
Your car will get slower as the laps tick down but if it rains again you gain another lap.
btw I hope I don't lose my engine now :/

bah.....If Lavinia has truly left us, I just want top 3....with some cash! And if you knock out a few more of those +6 sec laps you have it for sure....

If what discussed on chat before the race is accurate I don't think we'll be seeing Livina on GPRO again. It's an interesting battle for those 3 promotion spots, lots of financial issues at the top of the leaderboard too.

Congrats Jed.....dang randoms. Lose the cup position to you on the last lap!!! First rain race I have ever really nailed.....
|
|

Last season I won a race by getting lucky in the rain, this race it went the other way which is annoying because my car was great all race, 2nd was damage limitation. Congrats to Celso for your first win, the strategy was bang on.
|
|

I've had a chance to check my race analysis and found out I lost 2 minutes and 6 seconds in the wet laps (that includes the time gained by being on wets), I finished 1 minute and 32 seconds off the lead which hurts.
|
|
|
Terrible Q2 but I've made some changes to my car and look forward to racing through the pack tomorrow evening.
|
|
|
|
Well....my no stop for rain strategy clearly bit me in the ass today.....-14 on two DMs....thats pretty impressive....

You're not the only one with bad luck, I pitted for new wets lap 36, the rain stopped lap 37. 2 wins gone in 2 races because of the weather.
btw not pitting was never going to pay off with a pitlane any shorter than Indy's.

Bad luck in the middle of the race turned into good luck, if the rain had stopped one lap later Sergey wouldn't have needed a last lap stop but I wouldn't have needed the second stop. It all equals out (except for some blocker laps).
Out of curiosity I found out what the standings would be if Livina's results had been deleted when the account was:
Manager Wins Points 1 Jed Lilly 2 65 2 Zsolt Varga 1 61 3 Geoffrey Gill 61 4 Balazs Bizey 2 57 5 Xavier Prett 3 45 6 Tamas Vegh 1 29 7 Jere Lahteenmaki 1 28 8 Sergey Erushevich 21 9 Simone Magistri 17 10 Matej Cambal 1 14 11 Celso Jorge 1 13 12 Emanuele Fossati 10 13 Giulia Cerchi 9 14 Borut Krejacic 7 15 Vitalik Volochij 6 16 Antonio Figueroa 6 17 Sotirios Troupas 5 18 Laszlo Kernya 4 19 Vishnu Karthik 4 20 Laimonas Gelzinis 3 21 Ivan Radan 2 22 Ady Bibi 1

Nice table. Wouldn't change much. It's going to be a very tight end of season!
|
|
|
This race could be interesting because of the difference between Q1 and race weather. The harder compounds could gain up to a second a lap on the XS just because of the track warming up. Hard overtaking this race too, I expect a few trains... :D
|
|
|
I'm surprised to see Sergey Erushevich and Sotirios Troupas not starting this race, both have been scoring decent results recently. Only 28 cars on the grid is surprising too, I don't remember that few racing in amateur before.
6 on wets and 22 on slicks, I'm not sure which option is the gamble today.
|
|
|
Agreed...I found those two not making it strange.....its a bummer. Never like to see people not make the race. I think it is 100x more exciting to have a full field.....
|
|
|
|
Damn Xavier....22 second pit?????
|
|
|
Oh yeah!!! And now I'm on your back!
|
|
|
Looks like we're going to be racing each other all night again :)
Balazs' promotion chances took a bit hit with the start crash but if you play with fire you're going to get burnt eventually (I think a few of us have been riding our luck this season!).
|
|
|
Xavier will win this one easily if he is planning to finish today.
|
|
|
Geoff, are you on 3 stop or 2 stop strategy? :) At the moment I have a 1st row seat to watch how you are matching each other on the front (Xavier, Jed, Geoff) :) hmm... 20.6 pit, one of the best this season.....
|
|
|
I'm planning to finish this one, enough of bad races.
Let's see, you are surprisingly fast for Hards Lilly.

I'm on mediums :)
I presume you're trying to score as many points as possible without promoting?
|
|
|
I want to promote, that objective didn't change. I had some bad races lately, but I'm now fully into accessing promotion zone. And win the cup :)
