Was a bit of a disaster but still fun. Bacchulum was clearly in a class of his own and deserved the win. Sadly my results was destroyed by a my bone lazy mechanics, they took more than 2 minutes changing 4 tires!!!!!!  They must have been out partying the night before with the crews of Phil and Gratulin.

Good stuff Phil Im amazed I wrote instructions that you could follow, I tried to explain as much as I could but looked a bit messed up when I read it all back. It may look like a complicated setup I am running but its really fairly simple once you know how its setup.

Guys no need to worry about any money as the servers are already paid for with probably 10 months left at least, when they run out if there is still a need for the servers we can possibly all pitch in a little and keep them running after that if needed.

The instructions were all good :) and like you said it looks more complex than it is :)

Will be keeping an eye on my pit crew on race weeks and not going to pay them any more

I'd pay them more if they take other team's out on the town to sabotage! :)

What a disaster, I was tired to start with, but didn't realise just how little concentration I could muster, then the race started... I was just exhausted! (hmm poor choice of words :) )

Thanks for all the lever pulling Phil, no need to apologise, there are many moving parts you have to balance, and still get enjoyment yourself.

Really?!??  2 minutes just to change tyres? Was that the same for everyone?

Maybe they filled the tank as well?
How come the results say I took 0 pitstops when I actually took 2?
They stuffed me up, cause on my out lap after both stops, I spun off both times, possibly cold tyres.

Stracker says our pit times were pretty much the same. Seems this track had a problem with lap count while in the pits ie it didn't count the lap!!!!
