As fun as 2006 is I'm going to continue my sabbatical.

I need all my focus on my school, the first couple of years were easy. But know I really have to work and focus. I feel that I probably could play, but I can't be sure if I can always make it, so I don't want to put a team mate in that position.

Hehe, you could field the aguri alone. :lol:

[saltysurprise]

Sorry to hear that. You could always use an Aguri and race by yourself, as much fun as that sounds:rolleyes::lol:

I'm glad you're sticking with your studies:thumbsup:

Hey, DanicaRules, you sure you don't want to give batRacer a try. Maybe in a lower end car so you can get the feel for it?????

[Driverdb]

The future 2006 world champion has arrived! :finishfirst:



Yeah right... who am I kidding? :lol:

[Harakimi]

Joined the game and sent invitations to players who were already in the 02 game, got 2 negative answers so far since they wanted to test out the 02 carset. :(

[saltysurprise]

Another half dozen players and we should be good to go.

Shayne, If you get an open slot, by all means, join us:thumbsup:

[saltysurprise]

Well we have an interested party. I got a request for participation in the game from a certain individual who shall remain nameless for now. He's coming with his own team-mate:wonder:

Be afraid. Very afraid:lol: You're goin' down sucka!!:cool:

NetOz is also interested in joining the game, so if anyone would like to show him the ropes, that'd be great. Don't bail now Oz!:D

The cars are dwidleing and our Mystery guest(s) (shut up Ryan:rolleyes::lol:) would like the Williams cars.

[saltysurprise]

[Harakimi]

Honda beats the rest in the season opening, neener! :p
Flibble will bounce back in the next race I'm sure. :rolleyes:

[paul5114]

what a rubbish race for the toyota team. I do hope this is not reflect whats gonna happen in the season

[Harakimi]

Honda is troubled in Sepang. :cry:

[Harakimi]

I really don't remember when I've finished LAST, what a humiliation! :cry:

[saltysurprise]

I really don't remember when I've finished LAST, what a humiliation! :cry:

Not only that, Nando and his teamie nabbed 1-2. Disgraceful:mad:

:lol:

[Harakimi]

Seems that I hitted the bad luck bar last night. All my races ran with crap results. :mad:

[saltysurprise]

Seems that I hitted the bad luck bar last night. All my races ran with crap results. :mad:

Yes, I agree. I was particularly displeased with my results in our V8 venture:mad: At least I managed a podium spot in this one:) Still plenty of points up for grabs here:thumbsup:

I updated our first post with standings:thumbsup:

[EIR Loe.307]

Seems that I hitted the bad luck bar last night. All my races ran with crap results. :mad:

You and me both. 3 games with piss poor results. :mad::rolleyes:

[saltysurprise]

You and me both. 3 games with piss poor results. :mad::rolleyes:

Oh yeah! I had a bad game with you too!:lol: Kimi San, you're not alone. Big Loe finished last and I DNF'd in Spykers today as well:mad:

[JoStream]

I'm just getting warmed up guys. I got caught up before the last two races so I always started 10 laps back :p

The media has encouraged me to focus more on my racing :p

[Harakimi]

The media has encouraged me to focus more on my racing :p

I get so hard pressure from the media that I just have to drink and drive the next race ;)

[saltysurprise]

Congrats to Jo on an incredibly convincing win today at Imola:finishfirst: He laid a whoopin' on us all. Everyone but Jo and Big Loe had perfect setups. Well, and there's Paul with no setup:wonder: On holidays Paul??

That was one of the most ridiculous races I've been in. Ooops here and OH look out there. Fernando made a mistake with 2 laps to go, but as he pointed out, there was no way I'd make up 12 seconds in 2 laps:rolleyes::(.

1. Jo
2. 'Nando +24.546
3. Salty +33.374

Nah, I had 100% but I crashed on the first lap remember?

Thanks Salty :D! I'm delighted to harvest my first win of the season. The time was just ripe :lol:

I didn't have a perfect setup? Strange, I thought we had that already before qualifying... :confused:

He's having a tough time these days :(. But as a helpful team mate I'll do my best to assist him ;)

You don't have to tell me, I know what it's aaalll about:rolleyes:;):lol::lol::lol:

[EIR Loe.307]

I was actually waaaayyy faster than Jo at the start. At least most of my dnf's have been someone elses fault. If I could stop getting hit I might frakin finish a race. I'm this close to being through with this damn game. I'm in 5 games and am on a dnf streak in all 5 for several races. I know it's not my slider settings so I don't know what the damn deal is. :mad:

At least Jo has been able to hold it down on the team front. I just wish I were up there too. :cry:

[saltysurprise]

I just wish I were up there too. :cry:

It's Ok, it's Ok... *hug hug* Don't cry little one:wonder::lol:

Hey, it's not like I'm doin much better:rolleyes::(

[Harakimi]

After that collision and extra pitstop I was surprised to be 4th! :thumbsup:

[EIR Loe.307]

3 poles in a row!!! 1 win, 1 dnf, 1 4th. Avg. 5pts a race. Not what I had hoped for but I'll take what I got. Wish there were a point for that pole spot, I'd be doing great. :lol:

[saltysurprise]

There's been some movement in the 'ol standings. The first page has updated standings if anyone cares to refresh their memories:rolleyes:

And I never thought I'd see the day that Waldren DNF'd:D:thumbsup:

Ferrari is looking to make some huge ground at Silverstone:finishfirst::wonder::lol:

[EIR Loe.307]

And I never thought I'd see the day that Waldren DNF'd:D:thumbsup:

That's just him giving the rest of us false hope. :lol::lol:.....:cry:

[Harakimi]

Monaco is a biootch, and then you win. :lol:
Seems like I'm happy on every other morning with my results. :cool:

[Harakimi]

It gets somewhat tricky with 4 types of tyres in 2006, whoa! :lol:

[JoStream]

It gets somewhat tricky with 4 types of tyres in 2006, whoa! :lol:

It sure does! I had a good strategy but threw away the race because I forgot to convert the setup :mad:.

I'm surprised to be only back by 30 points. It's good to know I still have a shot at the title :D

[Harakimi]

My teamie is leveling things up for you guys way too much, he usually doesn't do any setups for quallys, leaving me also into bad spot :mad:

[Harakimi]

Paparazzi got a picture of a guy dressed up in Honda suit, pouring sugar into Renault's petrol systems...

[saltysurprise]

Paparazzi got a picture of a guy dressed up in Honda suit, pouring sugar into Renault's petrol systems...

And a guy in a Ferrari suit sold it to him. Ferrari brand sugar, it comes with a bright red funnel.

Don't you still have your Mackerel sponsor?:rolleyes::mad:

[JoStream]

Paparazzi got a picture of a guy dressed up in Honda suit, pouring sugar into Renault's petrol systems...

Just wait and see what we did with your car for tomorrow :p :eek:

[saltysurprise]

It's amazing what a cup of sugar and a couple of nice, oily, delicious mackerel can do in pinch;) To bad it was the Saubers that did it:lol: P1 & P2.

BOTH Renault's unable to take to the track during qualifying:eek::thumbsup::D And strangely, the presence of Mr. Waldren has been a non-issue in the last half of the series. Hmmmmm... I guess it's true, you can't win them all:lol::lol:

Harakimi holds a 28 point lead over EIR with 4 races to go.

[EIR Loe.307]

I still have a chance. Long shot but 40 points up for grabs. :cool: I don't know WTF happened in quali. :eek:

[saltysurprise]

@#$%ing @&$%!!! Blankety blank, blank, BLANK, BEEP!!!

Out on lap one!:rolleyes: Stupid game:lol:

Way to go Jo:rolleyes::finishfirst:

[JoStream]

Way to go Jo:rolleyes::finishfirst:

I think this is my first hattrick ever. I've come close so many times, and now I finally made the streak :D. It feels amazing, but, as we now know it's too late.

A terrific season by HaraKimi who showed us that consistency is not only important in the V8 Series, but also in F1. Finishing most races on the podium, he secured the title three races before the end :thumbsup:

As I don't have a chance to win the title anymore, I'll just focus on getting the most wins, poles and fastest laps. Then I go visit Hamilton and we cry together about a lost title :lol:

[EIR Loe.307]

I haven't quite given up. 30 points left leaves a SMALL possibilty for a tie. I think Kimi has higher stats and would win the tie break, but what a finale that would be!! :finishfirst:

[JoStream]

I haven't quite given up. 30 points left leaves a SMALL possibilty for a tie. I think Kimi has higher stats and would win the tie break, but what a finale that would be!! :finishfirst:

Well the amount of victories would decide, and HaraKimi has five, so technically the title is secure. But a tie is a tie, and that would be an incredible run ;)

[Harakimi]

Too bad that sugar in your tanks didn't affect in the race anymore. :rolleyes:. What's with all those Renault upgrades!?? Geez! :p

[EIR Loe.307]

I smell a spy saga!! :eek: :lol:

[saltysurprise]

I smell a spy saga!! :eek: :lol:

It's downright stupid is what it is:mad::lol:

Both of you at the very back, after no quali whatsoever!?!?! And then 1-2!?!?!? BS! I say:rolleyes::lol:

[EIR Loe.307]

It's downright stupid is what it is:mad::lol:

It's all in the strategy. Fastest cars and a good strat = 1&3 :thumbsup:

[saltysurprise]

It's all in the strategy. Fastest cars and a good strat = 1&3 :thumbsup:

So sorry! 1&3 Oooohhh!:p

We'll see come next race:cool: Oh wait! I've said that before with nothing to back it up:rolleyes:

[Harakimi]

Dude you're driving a Ferrari, is 3rd position really the highest you can get with it? :D

[EIR Loe.307]

Dude you're driving a Ferrari, is 3rd position really the highest you can get with it? :D

Were you talking to Salty cuz I'm in a Renault??

REPLY: Yes I am ;) ++Harakimi

[Harakimi]

Front row again to the Renaults...It's hard to fight for a pole when your teamie does setups maybe once in a week. :cry:

[EIR Loe.307]

Tie maker phase 1 = complete. :D

[JoStream]

Just to let you all know I'm looking for my fourth in a row tomorrow :p. I shouldn't shout it out beforehand, but whatever :lol: :rolleyes:

[Harakimi]

If a Renault doesn't win, then everyone will POINT at you and LAUGH. Everyone is ASHAMED because of you! You will be the subject of major mockery! you...YOU!!! blblblblbl:lol::lol::drunk::drunk:

I just dusted off my little black book of 'Useful Mockeries for Boastful People':lol: Hmmm, let's find some good ones:cool:

[EIR Loe.307]

Looks like Kimi has clenched it. Crashed out but I couldn't get the win so now it's time to defend P2 and the P1 constructor spot. Congrats to Kimi.:thumbsup:

[JoStream]

Well told you that it wasn't a good idea to shout it out. Now I guess I'm going to be looking to take P2 from you :lol:. Let's give the media something to talk about :p

[Harakimi]

Yeah, crashed out when the race looked very promising for me. Atleast I know the reason so it doesn't bother me too much. ;)

Another Renault update for Suzuka, wtf? :eek: :p
