I voted for the 25 and 49 and thought they might get up, the 98T would of been fun also,  But the exos should be good fun racing

I thought the 25 might, but I'm happy. They were all good options to choose from.

Somehow I don't think you're helping the 98T cause Marty.   

This would have to be one of the dirtiest campaigns I've seen in a long time here. Name calling, muck raking, it's had it all, and now I fear the Russians are influencing the result. It's a tainted election.

Thanks for the recognition Wally. That's what 100% boost and 100 laps of practice in a fun car can do.
Maybe I should practice more.

I suspect that's true for most of us! I did a lot more laps in the 98t and it showed, You fasted lap edged mine by 0.088s 

Did my fasted lap on the last lap with 100% boost in a effort to close the gap to Grat but it appears he had the same idea as his fastest lap was also on lap 17. Was a very frustrating/entertaining race as I could see Grat in front of me the whole race but never quite managed to close the gap to him.

😀 That's what I expect I would have had for most of the race too, if I didn't have my weirdness, and I would have loved it. I get more enjoyment from that kind of racing in an awesome car than a race where I might have passed one or two, and been passed by ten other cars in a boring car.

98T great car but surely wont win the pole as people will pick the least challenging car of the lot like most polls. So many claim to like these great old cars but they all go into hiding when it comes to picking one to race a season.

It's a fantastic car. Not surprisingly I chose it and am really disappointed that the easy option looks like getting up.

Its a bit of a shame but at least with all the options they are quite different to the last few seasons. I was kind of shocked the 98t went to the top of the votes and was fairly sure it wouldnt stay there.

Yes, it's not a sedan. I didn't find it that difficult to drive, a;though having said that, I have no idea how I steered into the wall. I don't know if I got a gentle touch, but the front suddenly got a lot of grip. It wasn't a rear end lose. Still, I had a cracking time because the car is fun to drive. I can give or take close racing but I can barely stand driving boring cars. The Exo will still be fun, but the 98T is funner. 

You can hot lap a difficult car any time you like but hasn't great racing always been about 'Close Racing'. ?

The only hotlapping I did in that car was the fastest lap I did. I did over a hundred laps practice on and off the server and only because the car was good fun to drive. I certainly wasn't practicing to hot lap. 95% of the practice I did was on medium tyres trying to drive the circuit properly. Close racing only excites me when the car does, otherwise I don't care too much. That shows in my results. I generally only do half and hour to an hour practice normally because the cars are dull.

Why do I feel like I'm watching an episode of Seven Year Switch?

Any chance of Longford, or are there issues with it? I have low standards, so usually not too critical in assessing tracks. I get bored driving the same ones though.

Race 1: It was fun till I got a phone call. I was just a little off the pace rather then a lot, but couldn't put faster laps together consistently. I eventually got into 1:02's but only a one off lap.

Race 2: I lost interest after the race one phone call and after a lap 1 spin, gave up. I had no interest in running last half a lap down with no chance of recovery in cars I don't particularly like, although the Porsche were better than any other Uber we've been driving for the last few seasons.

Still, the season overall was an enjoyable way to spend a Tuesday evening. Thanks for doing the business Wally, and thanks to fellow competitors. As far as the driving is concerned it's probably the cleanest league I've raced in.
