R7: Sep 26, Barbagallo [DOWNLOAD], 13 laps + 31 laps

It's the final round of the season, where we crown a new champion!
With Phil's penalty ballast from the previous round, will that tip the scales in favour of Matthew catching up the 23 points needed to take the championship in the final round?

We also welcome new racer, Slovenets.

Weather: about 20 degrees, clear, light winds.

Hi Bruce,

I started this thread to give everyone here at XGN an opportunity to send you messages of best wishes and support.

For myself, I find you an inspirational member here who always has a positive, "have fun" attitude in all of the many years that you and I have raced together (and you're quite hard to pass!). You're always proud of your achievements when you do well, which shows the fun you're having. You're a true gentleman racer. And you have put your hand in to organise many series and get involved. You're a real asset to XGN, and a great part of the place.

- Wally

Penalties
The marshalls were kept busy this round!
Race 1
Bacchulum ran into the rear of Wally (ballast penalty).
Freezer clipped the rear corner of Phil and sent him off track. Because Phil was squarely on the racing line and Freezer was rejoining the line after going over a kerb, Freezer gets a ballast penalty.
RussG banged into Phil’s side twice, the second time enough to send Phil off the track (ballast penalty).
JamieP ran up the inside of Rob and didn’t really make the turn, spinning Rob (penalty ballast).

Race 2
Bacchulum ran into the back of Freezer under brakes (ballast penalty). This set up a chain reaction of cars being squeezed off the track to avoid the stationary spun cars.

There was a lot of slow congestion in one of the slow corners, with a bit of three-side side-to-side contact, where Bacchulum came off. It looks like everyone was being careful trying to negotiate the corner, so that’s a racing incident.

Note this is a new track version on RaceDepartment (2.0). If you have the old version 1.0, you have to delete the old Bridgehampton track folder first.

The track actually has 44 pit boxes, so you can ignore any warnings about there being insufficient slots.

Hi guys, we now have more than 32 signups, so I've introduced a reserve list. Please let me know ASAP if you can't make any particular round, in that round's race chat thread, so that reserves can get a race if there's free spots.

Some tracks have more than 32 pit boxes, so we can get more racers in those rounds. If people don't turn up without any explanation, I'll move them to the reserves list, so others keen to race can get a drive.

(Real World) Weather
Race 1, clear and hot, 36 degrees, light winds.

Fine Print
For round 2 only, because we drop the worst round, I have averaged the first two rounds to put everyone in order. Otherwise Phil would still be 1st with 100% restrictor because round 2 results, with some restrictor, would be dropped. From next round, the order will just be as per the standings, with the worst round dropped.
