Dude, I rule.

Actually I forgot all about the qualifying, was spending a bit too much time looking at jobs online. ](*,)

Qualifying is overrated 8-) It's the race that matters! :racing:

BTW - This is when you'll want to make sure you check out your 'Driving Style' and 'Race Strategy' setups in your garage. ;) Make sure you and your teammate aren't set to pit on the same lap for example.

Gah this is all set to North American time. I wasn't aware the game had started so I hadn't set my qualifying strategy :rant: Ah well, I've improved my setup in the warmup and was ripping it up. Hopefully I'll get up the grid on race day.

I think a lot of people didn't ahve qualifying set, actually I didn't either :doh: So the first race will be a war :bustacap: but remembering back to last season (which we ran in the mid 1980s I think it was? lol) we had people come from last qualifying spot to win or at least podium many many times so it's not that big of a deal. Just make sure you get your race strategy stuff setup in the next 12 hrs or so before the race starts.

I saw the way I kept the basement cozy for half the race, then shot up to the middle of the pack, then made a pit and never made up for lost position. That was cool.

Kudos to the three reckless guys for keeping me out of 12th place ;)

I'm sure I am Calv's favorite today :-D On the final lap I passed him to take third ending the race .005 seconds ahead of him. :joy:

It's always fun to see the events of the races unfold, you'll see I've made many comments :-p You can make comments at each 'event' in the races.

The Bull rush was on as Team Bull as we made the most passes by far, and we also had the best pit times, so we'll just have to work on getting to the podium more effectively. :bull:

Game note: don't forget to set your Qualifying strategy if you haven't already. See ya all at qualifying, you'll notice there is a set time countdown for when each stage of a race will be completed.

I feely silly. I changed my set-up for wet conditions, but forgot to change my tires. :doh:

Qualifying 1&2? Team Bull! :thup: Yeah the tires were the difference...

I hope we don't have one of these races where we adjust our specs for wet and then in the second lap it clears and all we can change is tires... I hate that :rant:

Well I'm sure your teammate will be glad to hear that. But given that I know that that's what cheeses me about the rain thing, I know that instead of sliding off the course like you should you'll win instead because the rain wil clear after the second turn and we'll all be punished for adjusting and you'll be blissfully home free. If find that fantabulastically annoying :furious:
