I saw cramjet have a massive warp but only once maybe his ping went up, timing screens are a bit odd as its hard to even see how many are in the server at times. Many more shown on map then in the timing, pitstops are basic I also got in there and took a while to figure out what to do.

Yep I saw this too. Only time you got in front of me. At least that's how I'll remember it. Strange though - my girlfriend wasn't home!

I see two sides to the argument - either you want an hour of sunlight at 5am so you can get up and do things/work earlier (tradies, farmers, Dick's 'ladies' in Northbridge), or you prefer that hour in the evening which gives regular city slickers more sunlight after work. There's no right or wrong answer, it just depends on the population.

/end derail about DST

Bird, sorry bout that t3 incident - I came fairly cautiously through the big wreck at t2, looked behind me for a second and arrived at t3 a lot earlier than expected and somewhat out of control. No excuse, just a silly accident. I did hold back for a bit and finally gave the place up when you caught up.

Also it's clear us west aussies aren't capable of dealing with day light savings (or lack of?). The mrs and I had a long confusing chat and figured out the race would start an hour later here...I log in for an early practice to find the first race just about finished. That stuff is confusing mayn. Why can't we join the rest of the world!?

Racing was otherwise fun. Had a good battle with Gratulin in race 3 - sorry about the bump, I was trying to avoid the crash up ahead without giving away too much 

I always struggle to find pace around Silverstone without downforce. I'm a bit better at Imola so hoping to claw back some points next round for CramDick Racing!

I may or may not make this race tonight. Some family crap has popped up and not sure I'll be in the right head space although a good race might take my mind of things! Hope to see you guys there - sorry if I'm not!

PLE is great - I've always bought my parts from them. I actually doubt they would give you grief blaming other parts - they can test any piece quite quickly to identify a fault. I had a faulty RAM stick from them (1 of 4), took it in and they replaced it without even testing it.

I just recently upgraded my CPU and Motherboard - not sure on exact specs but its one of the better i5's. They were the last pieces to be upgraded and made a huge difference in AC (GPU, SSD and RAM done last xmas). If you haven't got a SSD they are great for putting windows/steam on to help with loading times. Leave media/photos and junk on an older HDD.

PLE's just opened a store in Melbourne so maybe y'all will hear about it soon.

Sorry about my short run. Had a few friends who wanted to watch me race but it ended up being horribly distracting which is why I went from qualifying 3rd to finishing 13th or so. Also taking strong flu meds and drinking beers didnt help I'm sure.

I found some pace in the 1m, but its no lotus through the corners. Makes for good racing having the different cars though - looking forward to next season!

Glad to hear you went okay Dick, it ain't CramDick racing without ya!

Fairly disappointing my lag knocked me out again - this is the one car I'm competitive in. Dick must be hogging all W.A's bandwidth with his 'videos'.

First race I had a good battle with Peter and Bird - would have won it if I didn't have a HUGE spike as I went around the last corner - sending me to the grass as I tried to avoid hitting anyone. Brought it home for a disappointing (!) 3rd. 2nd race I got pole or 2nd and then took the lead into first corner. When I saw Dick's car jump in front of me thanks to lag I figured it best to quit in a giant ball of rage.

I really enjoyed this car/track combo - once you learn where to push (or not to push in this car) it's heaps of fun. Hopefully next week will be better lag wise - strange how Tuesday's are normally fine for me, save for when the mrs is doing her lesson plans (youtubing), but Thursdays have been consistently worse.

I didn't set a decent qualy in the first race so started 12th or so. Made it up to 7th or so in the first couple laps and then had a good battle with Gratulin - I felt like I caught up through the twisties thanks to  my super high downforce but even if I was right on his sphincter leading onto a straight he seemed to pull away (or atleast out run my draft) once we grabbed 6th gear. I didn't want to ruin either of our races so didn't make any big moves. Made for many laps of tight racing

Second was much the same except I qualified 4th. Coming out of the first corner Bird in front of me had a spin and I couldn't avoid it without hitting someone else so I made a juicy t-bone out of him. My tyres turned to jelly around lap 11 (fronts 93ish, rear 90) - it felt like driving the cobra. I had a terrible lap adjusting to it which is when Gratulin flew past again but the next lap his too fell off the cliff. We had a great battle for the line, both sliding all over the place. I saw he had a funny line around the final corner so set myself up for a good exit resulting in a drag for the line. Probably one of the most enjoyable races I've had - thanks Gratulin!
