How on earth did I slip down so far?! I must have had a really poor start. So much promise in pratice and qualification but such a failure in the race
At least Calv got his team its first points.

Seems as though I put the wrong car setup on for today's race. Checking the
Best Setups page, my bro had it 98% correct whereas I only had a 41% correct setup. We were both supposed to be using the same setup
Edit: Wow, some of the stats it stores for each race are pretty impressive. E.g. you can see where abouts everyone was on the track when the winner crossed the line:

Hey, my best starting slot yet! Not sure if I'll know what to do from the 2nd slot
BTW Why does it say the weather has changed.... when it hasn't?

Good question, I'm not sure of the answer tho, maybe it'll rain during the race at some point
not sure whether to adjust my setup or not

So close and yet so far eh Mr. C?
I have to say it didn't look good in the middle portion there as I just seemed to be falling further and further off your pace but my second half was really strong and I finally made my way to the front
You keep it up though and we'll start calling it the "Calv Position" instead of the pole position
Back to Back for the Brothers of the Bull!! Looks like a tough track coming up, should be interesting!

Hooray for fourth place finish!

Yeah... umm
how does one get below 0% correct? It's rather impressive. Appears we had similar problems on Team Bull as Senor Vile failed to update his settings as well. I forgot to set my race options for this one including my pitting options; then the one I do take took 22+ seconds so there goes the race
So, the hell is the deal with number of pitstops? I thugh for sure I'd be dead when I saw I was only set up to pit once in 63 laps?

If you pit more often you will get more speed as you'll have less fuel on board, however it takes longer for that many pit stops
With one pit stops you have more fuel just after the pitstop so you'll have a slower speed but you'll spend less time in the pits but you will probably end up with your tyres having less grip as well, slowing you down. Not sure when it's beneficial to use 1,2 or 3 stop strategies tho
Archi managed to get a minus score by not signing in for the past couple of days and not changing his setup, so he may have had low suspension when it should have been 95 or something! Altho this does prove that you don't need team mate to win races so there's hope for those without team mates!

Your just going to blow off Tom like that?

Less about blowing off Tom more about sticking it to Arch stealing his brother/teammate
Muahahaha [/evil]
