GLB will improve the front wing downforce. Not that LGPS drivers care a lot about front wings anyway...

The drivers have mastered the start technique :lol:

Great double-finish

And Nuppiz, would you post the race programme please, I want to make it more realistic :twisted:

Upgrades pending

Handoyo's speech translation: I'm very grateful for the result I achieved today, to finish in 5th position already with this Life car feels like a win! Congratulations too to Tenpecost for gained points, and big thanks for the team and of course, a blessing from Him!

2 DNF's and no money for upgrades

Well, with this series coming to a close now I noticed go_rubens is on the waiting list. Maybe give him an one-off entry at Macau?
If he still wants to run of course and there being enough garage space for another one or two cars.

I've decided I don't really care anymore about the car, being DNF for 13+ races now

Richard Arthurs will drive his final race for the team at New Zealand
Then I would like Joe Gaera to the seat for Bathurst if the owner permitted
Hashimoto will complete the season in Macau

After a fine second place for mcmohan we will take 2 qualifying and 3 race performances upgrades for her

I, once again am not upgrading the car.

Originally, it was either because I forgot or couldn't be arsed, but now it's intentional.

Natascha Zaugg went from a backmarker to a championship contender, I'm pleased with that.

It will be hard to beat the FGCR and Al Smith juggernauts but it won't hurt to at least try, so it's time to upgrade.
Zeroforce will buy :
- 1 driver reliability upgrade.
- 1 driver wet weather skill upgrade.
- 1 driver overtaking upgrade.
- 1 driver qualifying upgrade.
- 4 driver race performances.
- 2 engine reliability upgrades.

While there would be space for more cars, I'm not giving any more entries to anyone because I just want to finish this as soon as possible and don't want to do anything extra just for the purpose of one race.

Alright then... FYI HawkAussie owns Gaera, so you should ask him for permission.

Alstom GPE wants two points for di Longo's race ability, and also 1 engine rel upgrade. Should leave us with 170cr left. Which, given the series is about to come to an end, will be spent on hookers and blow...or anything else 170 credits can be spent on in Life GP. Don't care what it is, just buy it!

I forgot I was on the list as well. But, since the series is being cancelled and replaced, I don't think I have a need to worry to get in on rejectful single seater racing. It's all cool.

SRMP wrote:LGPS to change Australian GP venue

Following the Life Grand Prix of Indonesia where yet another driver (Dave Smith) was injured, the organisers of the Life Grand Prix Series have decided to make a last-minute change to the calendar by dropping the popular but dangerous Mount Panorama Circuit, commonly known as Bathurst after the city in which it is located, in favor of of the Eastern Creek International Raceway which hosted the controversial season finale last year. According to a statement released by the series organisers, Bathurst won a vote concluded among team principals but in closer scrutiny it was deemed too dangerous for the Life GP cars.

Yeah, I'm switching back to Eastern Creek because Life GP is already very dangerous (there's been a record number of injuries this season) so having the series go to Bathurst could have potentially deadly consequences. Now I know you all have a boner for the track and I don't deny that it is a spectacular venue, but let's face it, it's not fit for single-seater racing at all.

1993 Life Grand Prix of New Zealand
Prequalifying

Scuderia Asso di Fiori failed to confirm a replacement to Dave Smith in time, so they will miss the race and thus 11 drivers qualified in PQ.

Main qualifying

Race results

Fastest lap: Vic Sunset, 0:52.446 on lap 54
ROTR: Rainspray - caused a lot of accidents and blocked the camera view at times.

So yeah, if things continue the way they have been, the entire field will have DNF'd and there'd still be 40 laps to go. :lol:

1993 Life Grand Prix of Australia
Prequalifying

Although Eastern Creek technically supports more cars (as was seen last year), due to certain pitlane issues I'm limiting the amount of starters to 35.

Main qualifying

Partly generated times due to aforementioned pitlane issues, which explains why some drivers have identical laptimes.

Race results

Fastest lap: James Davies, 1:23.032 on lap 3
ROTR: Foster's Good Call - inventing new ways to throw away the title.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 26 Feb 2014, 10:14

One last hurrah. I think that 4th place Alstom got a few rounds ago should be enough to spend a little more. Put everything we've got into di Longo's race perf. If there's any spare change left over after that, pile it into engine rel.
