@Jimlaad43 @Omer Said all other GP4 sims have "Grand Prix 4" in the title. I think this one should have it too 
It's meant to resemble F1 with custom Teams and custom Cars so being its own series I believe is better@Jimlaad43 @Omer Said all other GP4 sims have "Grand Prix 4" in the title. I think this one should have it too
If it is ok with you, I would rather that it didn't. Just because the others do, doesn't mean this must follow them.@Jimlaad43 @Omer Said all other GP4 sims have "Grand Prix 4" in the title. I think this one should have it too
meanwhile the results are very close to done
edit: not sure if likes/agrees are for the name change or the fact results are almost done...
edit the second: I think it was Omer who changed it back, thanking you very much
HUNSLEY OUTLASTS FOR HOME WIN
Jack Hunsley was fine out in front at Silverstone, without a worry in the world. Well, he might have been worried about a grass fire or something near by late in the race, but no doubt would have been happy in knowing it was only his competitors...
From the start Pablo Diehl looked in all sorts of trouble, a one stop strategy saw him go backwards, but ironically the only person to literally go backwards wasn't the Brazilian, rather rookie Krisztian Lintner was, spinning before hitting the wall hard backwards. On a day where having any Hungarian connections was a serious problem, the two Monster cars both retired with their Mercedes engines sending smoke signals back to Stuttgart soon after. As the race wore on, Tomas Ochlsager got a sore back with a failed suspension, while at the front Hunsley had been joined by French winner Utzer in a battle that quickly became infamous for the backmarkers rather than the frontmarkers. Rob Sharp made a meal of letting his technically-team boss through, losing the German a large portion of time. While Hunsley took the oppotunity for a larger gap, Utzer began his charge again, this time to in fact be aided by Andrea Dovizioso. The Italian was overlaped by Hunsley, after his early race was ruined by hitting the T1 barriers, but not to be discouraged he quickly upped his pace, before making a bold move down the Hangar Straight to unlap himself. In the next half a lap, Hunsley lost 2 seconds to Utzer, before submitting to the German 4 laps later. But while BRT rejoiced in the move, the lead lasted 3 laps before a mistake at the first corner saw Utzer in the gravel, then beached on the curb as he waited an entire lap for a gap. To rub salt in the wound for the German team, Diehl's day finally ended as Utzer was just getting pushed away, the Brazilian in a carbon copy of Lintner's earlier crash.
Just as the crowd was no doubt going wild at this point, the race still had more to offer.
Hearts fell as Rob Sharp's EvoGP-Ferrari gave up the ghost, only to be somewhat buoyed up by the All-Australian 2KF1 team both retiring from strong positions in the points. Rinneaho developed what is believed to have been a loose wheel, having to pit again from second, while Black converted his Viper into a pseudo-motorcycle by shaving off the right hand side of his car on the T1 barriers.
So while Hunsley won, and the Speedy's snatched the podium, further back we saw two Apex's in the points, Brilliant Dimas score a second top ten, and somehow Andrea Dovizioso got 10th.
Through all of that, it comes to the fore that the large retirement list is probably due to the fact that this is the first 100% since Monaco, which is probably harder on Driver rather than vehicle, and only the third ever (Melbourne, Monaco, Silverstone). With such a fundamentally different setup, namely more speed, the engines couldn't handle the distance it seems.
And so, if you watched the race, and read all that, have a cookie.
RDFIA Press Conference
@Twigster151 In the middle of the race, it didn't seem like it was going to go your way, but did you always believe you would score this win?
@Tim Engberink Second again, but are you annoyed about it, or relieved to be back there?
@Manolis Sigoulakis A double podium, but how happy are you to be on the third step as opposed to higher?
Press Paddock
@Jimlaad43 Were you worried about Jack not winning?
@Lesley Buurlage A great day for Speedy, will we see more improvements?
@Benutzername As a driver: What happened?
@Benutzername As a boss: How did that happen?
@Aidan Keranen So close to a strong finish, any words?
@Dovi design You were up and down through the field like a yo-yo, did you get dizzy with that? But seriously, how did you feel that race went for you?
@Milos Ancevski Our favourite GP4 flamer, finally feeling some loving with that result?

@kedy89 Thoughts?
Press Release
Due to the lateness of the results, the marketplace will be moved back 11 hours to 9pm (21:00) Thursday AEDT. Simulations will begin shortly afterwards, so make sure your buys are correct. Be sure also to check your budgets in the opening post, and also after next race I might be nice enough to send out some PM's to those who have failed to make purchases recently.

this race could only be 1 step better, but then jack should had retired
Race bhp +3
Race bhp +3
Very pleased, lately I have started to get finally some luck, double points here, 2nd in Italy, and 4th overall in GPTCC. Very happy by my recent GP4 performances

I got 600$ cash?
-267 COF then (400$)
Nope, if we'd started worrying, something would have gone wrong. Our aim is to keep this up and take the titles.
Race BHP +6
COF reduced by 100
Yeah, as said earlier, titles are most likely gone now. Car development has been stopped with immediate effect, as it's no difference between finishing second or last. Might as well not turn up from now on.
race bhp +2

@Aidan Keranen Nice car pictures in 1st post
And who have the online martini racing in next season ?
currently first in line is Dylan Lopez, but I am not sure he is going to take it, in which case Tomas Ochlsager (currently at Viper) will be given it if he wants it.
But then Viper will be left with no drivers? @Rob Sharp might save the day
--
but now Tomas has no drivers
As Dimas said he doesn't have time
next seasonBut then Viper will be left with no drivers? @Rob Sharp might save the day
--
but now Tomas has no drivers
I know that
But most drivers are already contracted to their old teams (or new teams)
Would like that, but i do have the official RD-Name rights for that team so it would have to be renamed
Driver: Exhausting race, had to fight myself through the field and as i finally could catch up a bit after the first stop Rob blocked me a bit - What a shame. I could catch Jack anyway which took a massive amount of concentration which i had to keep up because Jack was incredibly fast. I braked a little bit too late in THAT turn and had massive understeer because of that which resulted me going off-track. What a shame, my fault, i am angry of myself and ruined a massive chance.
As a boss: Well, we scored points. Shame for Rob again - But i am not amused about his way of reacting to blue flags, already talked to him about that, no more details on that, it is an internal situation which doesnt need to be commented on by our team in public.
Updates:
Ben Utzer:
+9 Race Skill (90$)
+6 Quali Skill (60$)
OMR/Evo
Car BHP + 1 (Race)
I take it. When i can.
nah, if you could keep buys to multiples of 5, i would really appreciate that
