    Oh well this is just great. I get pole position for Silverstone, but it's deja vu like in Istanbul with Slogger and Trips behind me. What's more, I've also got Tits McGee right behind them, making it much more likely he will come after me.

    This race ought to be fun. <_<

    Another win! Guess my strategy, as well as lucky timing, paid off.

    I am gunning for Sillett the next race. Be warned.

    Thanks for the warning, but the next race will be at Silverstone (i.e. my home race), so good luck on trying to go after me.

    Then again, I'll probably crash out of the race before it happens. :P

    Woohoo! After finishing 2nd in the Monaco GP and getting pole in Montreal, I climbed right back up the grid after my bad start to dominate the race and finally get a win! Also, gotta say well done to Trips for hanging in there right to the end after having issues halfway and getting himself a podium finish.

    Bring on the Magny Cours GP!

    Fourth after qualifying eleventh in the public game. Just missed out on third too, with a safety car going for ages right at the end. Guy in first must be annoyed, he was out in front by about 30 seconds before the safety car and then got overtaken in the five laps that was left after it. Vector also did pretty well getting 8th after qualifying last.

    I blame that solely on my silly decision to try and conserve my tyres for the race by using intermediates for the first stage of qualifying when it was dry. :P

    BAH! Me and my damn driver error forced me to retire a third into the race. At least I can be happy with the (short) performance made here, plowing through the grid from the back to reach second and potentially go for first...before pitting and making the error soon afterwards. <_<

    Toro Rosso will not be denied the championship a single point!

    Man, the Melbourne race in the public game was immense. Starting from third I have a horrible start and go back to 8th, next lap I get passed, and then a few laps later I collide with the dude in front and drop back to 13th. No damage is done so I steadily climb my way back through the field being on a one stop strategy and get all the way to first before having to pit, where I drop back to third. Then I have Vector trying to overtake for about half a dozen laps but he can't do it, then he pits. Then I overtake second after a fight for a few laps, as his tyres were screwed. I go about to trying to catch up to first when my exhaust has troubles, but I decide to keep limp home instead of pitting in. So then third starts to catch up to me pretty quickly and probably would have overtaken me if it wasn't for us crossing the finish line. Phew.

    Three seconds so far <_<

    More like spending nearly a dozen laps trying to overtake you. :P

    Will agree that the Melbourne race was quite tense. Started good as I got into the top three and gained a few fatest laps, even getting so close to overtaking the leader. But that all changed after pitting for the second time, and costed me a podium position, though I have no problems finishing fifth. You did quite well Zaz, recovering from that bad start and early collision to climb all the way up to win second. With the exception of you having a slightly better setup for your car, my tyres were already wasted by the time I tried to take you on, so I had very little (if any) chance of being able to overtake you, let alone struggling to fend off others behind me from taking my position. I should stop shredding my racing tyres during testing. <_< We also gotta give some kudos to our teammates, as they managed to climb up from the lower part of the grid to almost gain some points. But I must say, if the Melbourne race was this tense, I'd hate to wonder how the next races are gonna be like.

    In good news Zaz, at least you won't be teammate-less for a while now in the EWB game after a Hajjhowe sighting during practice.

    Damn whoever it was that retired me right on the first lap. A chance to gain good points ended with me being the only one yet to score points. Terrific. <_<

    Oh well. Should easily rebound if practice is any indication on what's to come in both qualifying and the next race. Good luck beating my practice time.

    * Waits for Zaz, Hajj and Slogger to slaughter the practice time with ease. *

    Is it possible for anyone else to join our game once the season's in progress? Or can you only do that for public games?

    He's come on and done some practice now, but he still hasn't responded in the team talk >_>

    Bit similar for my teammate, who signed up, only tested once and disappeared until after qualifying, but I kinda understand his reasoning, since he's also new and getting to grips with it. But I have that inkling feeling that sometime down the line (next game, perhaps?), I might have a similar situation to what you're having. <_<

    Speaking of teammates, what happened to Hajjhowe? He doesn't seem to have appeared for any testing since the Melbourne race and is right around the bottom part of the grid for the Sepang race.

    Who's Shivraj Sillett?

    That'd me be, Zaz.

    Ah, ok, just noticed you joined the public game. Wish you'd gotten in quick enough to be my partner, as it looks like my teammate signed up and then just buggered off :(

    Damn, sucks to hear if that's the case. Checking when your partner signed up, seems I still would've been too late to join you either way. Sorry. :(

    Out of curiosity, and this is also a question to those who have played this before, what sort of penalties are given to teams that have inactive driver(s), one driver only in the team and such (unless it's just being in a disadvantage in the Constuctor's Championship)?

    Have you seen the following:

    Video with a woman carrying her "heart" around

    Guy with a dog's head

    Black guy break-dancing outside a shop as others watch

    These hobos have a tape that makes everyone shake like crazy

    I remember liking all 4 songs, but for the life of me I can't remember the songs names or the artists names.

  24. The biggest video games and the most controversial video games

    I wouldn't include 'postal' in the list of controversial games because 1)It's a bad game and 2)It's unpopular. All the other controversial games mentioned have been really good games(more or less), and that's why they were popular. Postal, on the other hand, sucked. If you mention Postal you might as well mention all those weird ass hentai games. Yes, they're controversial, but very few people play them, and their impact on the video game culture is non-existant.
