[Matthew Gutteridge]

Ok, let me rephrase. I was asleep at 3 am

 

[Thomas Hackel]

[ufunacaoenn]

FINISH

How can you start a race at 00:00 PM GMT. I was sleeping during that time since it was 02:00 AM.
I blame the Stewards for not giving me enough info about this race.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Matt my time was exactly 2:16, I wanted to go to the bed, but I was chatting here, so thats all the luck

 

[Daniel Higgins]

Finish

Oh come on what the!? Starting a race at about 1.30AM GMT its basically a race between who gets up earliest or getting up ready to do the night shift. Im guessing without looking that we all live in EU so its not as if it would be unfair to start later.

Oh and I went offline at about 1:20AM for gods sake :tongue:

 

[Matthew Gutteridge]

Bram Hengeveld today had a heart attack upon seeing what his paid for bandwidth was being used for.

Message too short

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

[Omer Said]

Just to make something clear, there are 20 races and all of them will start at different hours. I note the hour when i start a race, and then i never use that hour again :thumb:

That was an amazing race with lots of fights and some strange incidents again..

Ferrari's rookie Ondrej Kapal and Jordan's speculative Brian Clancy had a tremendous fight for the victory... Champion Hackel, could'nt catch their pace.

​

Lap by Lap

START: Pole Sitter Daniel Higgins makes a slow acceleration and gives his position to Thomas Hackel. Clancy and Bell are the followers at 2nd and 3rd. Alessandro Gamberini crashes at the first turn.

Lap 3: Ondrej sets the fastest lap, he overtakes 5th placer Matthew Gutteridge. Hackel and Clancy are in a close fight


Lap 11: Ondrej overtakes Bell and Duivelaar at the same time. And comes to 3rd. He is 3 seconds behind of Clancy

Lap 48: Gardiner's suspension fails, he enters to pit and losts many seconds.

Lap 53: Bogdan overtakes Duivelaar's Sauber. Gutteridge and Davakos had a little contact but not something serious.

Lap 60: Ondrej makes an aggressive move and takes the lead from Clancy.

Where is this Red Bull power I have heard so much about?

 

[Mike Bell]

red bull is crap - minardi is good

 

[Matthew Gutteridge]

Red Bull in trouble over controversial system

Red Bull are under scrutiny over a controversial system that turns downforce into upthrust when in the slipstream, lifting the cars up and over opponents. Christian Horner said "Red Bull give us WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!"

OMER!
