Remember Omer, Feature race grid is decided in "start" post... no need to do grids anymore

I answered this days ago Resi.

No need to do it mate. I will post grid picture when i start races. You can copy from there.

Now you will ask " How will you know pole position at feature races ? " . After this time that 2 extra point will be given as fastest lap :dance2:. NO RULE CHANGE, IT'S JUST FOR MATTHEW's REPORT WRITING. +2 points still goes to first " start " poster.

IMOLA Gp is Finished!!!!!

That was an unbelieveble race by bduddy! He started not in top 8. But he came first in the end of the day. He made the fastest lap too. Today was his day. Arrows recovered their lost energy and hope with this return.

Matthew Gutteridge also shows the signs of full recovery of Mclaren. He fought against Viljar and Sebastien and managed to overcome them.

Viljar, Jordan's flash driver again got really valuable points for his team.

Sebastien Levret, this year's ultimate Sauber driver. Again scored points after a hard battle for podium.

David Buxton, old wolf continues to regain his old power. He battled against Peter and won it.

Peter Duivelaar, with Niels's horrible race he was the only man for Renault today. He failed his fans in first races but it seems he is still powerful.

Honk! The Greatest Surprise of this year. He came nowhere and dominated the first races. This race wasn't so good for him but he still got some good points here.

Resi Respati came 8th, Ferrari is really getting worse race by race. They need something to recover their strength.

 

[Omer Said]

Oh and bduddy please choose someone to destroy his 4 points :evil:

 

[Niels Pedersen]

Not to whine, but I actually prefer the season 7 races - this is too stereotypic.

 

[Brian Duddy]

Oh and bduddy please choose someone to destroy his 4 points :evil:

It's going to be Mr. Levret... sorry >_>

 

[Matthew Gutteridge]

Niels mate, forum racing's had a difficult couple of seasons. People have come and gone, and we need to find something that suits everybody. Me, Resi and Omer have already hatched a plan for Season 9 (more details coming later on, live in the present man ) that might be more to your tastes

~Lap by Lap~

~GRID~

~Race Report~

Lap 1: After a disastrous qualifying, Matthew Gutteridge starts from 15th on the grid, supposedly with next to no fuel in the car, in an attempt to jump the field, and it certainly seems to be working, making his way up to eighth under-braking for turn into turn one, narrowly avoiding team-mate David Buxton, who moves up a position also. Sebastien Levret leads at the end of lap one.
~Race Standings after Lap 1/62~
1)Sebastien Levret
2)Honk 0.4
3)Niels Pedersen 0.5
4)Ben Tusting 0.8
5)Dave Stephenson 1.1
6)David Buxton 1.5

Lap 6: Gutteridge is still the fastest man in the field by some way, moving up to fourth. Stephenson also moves up, past Tusting and into fifth.
Lap 12: Gutteridge was in fact very light and he pits now. Bduddy, a rival of Gutteridge, now begins his charge to the front of the field, jumping into sixth, ahead of a heavily fuelled Gutteridge
~Race Standings after Lap 12/62~
1)Sebastien Levret
2)Honk 1.3
3)Niels Pedersen 1.6
4)Dave Stephenson 1.8
5)David Buxton 2.4
6)Bduddy 2.7

Lap 19: Honk, Levret and Bduddy pit. Gutteridge does seem to be generally on the pace, but now seems to be struggling with the Jordan of Van Waes and the Minardi of Rosset, and is losing time.
Lap 24: Stephenson and Pedersen pit, but a sticking Wheel means that Niels is stationary for a long period of time, and there is a lot of visable green smoke. Will Niels engine survive?
~Race Standings after Lap 24/62~
1)David Buxton
2)Matthew Gutteridge 15.7
3)Bduddy 16.3
4)Honk 16.8
5)Resi Respati 17.4
6)Viljar Parts 17.7


Lap 31: Buxton pits. Dave Stephenson cuts the S bend and is given a stop-go penalty. But, before he can serve it, he bins the car into the wall at Turn 3, with a suspected steering wheel failure. The Jaguar team will be disappointed.

Lap 44: Gutteridge and bduddy enter the pits, emerging in fifth, a podium definitely on the cards for both of them, Tom Wilkanshaw is on the edge of his seat, willing the car on.
~Race Standings after Lap 44/62~
1)Sebastien Levret
2)Resi Respati 4.5
3)Honk 5.6
4)Viljar Parts 6.9
5)Matthew Gutteridge 7.6
6)Bduddy 7.8


Lap 49: Honk, Respati and Levret pit, leaving Viljar Parts Jordan in the lead! This is really an amazing topsy-turvy lady.
Lap 53: Parts pits, with Gutteridge inheriting the lead, bduddy in second, and Viljar with an incredible third place for Jordan! Could there yet be a sting in the tail?

~Race Standings after Lap 53/62~
1)Matthew Gutteridge
2)Bduddy 2.4
3)Viljar Parts 3.9
4)David Buxton 5.6
5)Sebastien Levret 7.7
6)Honk 10.9

Lap 59: No Way! Bduddy’s second rate Arrows car is hauling in Gutteridge’s McLaren! Could the Arrows really win? Tom Wilkenshaw has given up watching the timing screens apparently because “ I might fall off of my stool.”
Lap 62: Brilliant! Bduddy’s Arrows has snatched it from the jaws of Gutteridge in the final push! After driving an anonymous race, Peter Duivilaar jumps into sixth, past Honk.
~Race Standings after Lap 62/62~
1)bduddy
2)Matthew Gutteridge 1.4
3)Viljar Parts 2.0
4)Sebastien Levret 4.6
5)David Buxton 7.7
6)Peter Duivilaar 9.6
7)Honk 13.2
8)Resi Respati 17.5
9)Ben Tusting 21.8
10)Rhys Gardiner 24.1
11)Bert Van Waes 40.8
12)Niels Pedersen 65.1
13)Garry Pullen 1 LAP
14)Kyle Evers 1 LAP
15)Marcus Probert 2 LAPS
16)Riccardo Rosset 2 LAPS

Well people wanted simple rules so we destroyed many complicated ones.

I believe this is funnier. More people are racing
