Where is the Autodynamics livery? Someone (AndreaModa I think) did one a while back and I can't find it on there.

I did, and here it is in Aerond's set of images.

I know GP2 liveries are limited with quality but that's just crap! I'd like to know how others can get their's looking sharp because I'm obviously doing something wrong. Here was the original, as you can see, it's a bit different:

And, obviously it will still look like crap if you keep on sending me a badly coded .jpg file instead of a clean, nice looking .BMP (or a .PNG at the worst). Enough effort I did managing it to load in Gp2Edit.

My best guess is that he's using two carsets (one for Pre-Q and one for Q/Race) and the spare slots are left blank. I'm using two carsets myself for the exact same reason whilst Lappy is using two full carsets simply because he can

Damon Cannon wrote:Gah! I could've waltzed into qualifying proper if my team mate actually knew how to be fast! Not happy at all. My car was brilliant, I was brilliant, my team mate's car was brilliant, my team mate was not.

David Koczo wrote:The car feels good to drive, and I honestly thought my lap was faster than what it was. All we need is a little more pace and we will qualify, that's all that's needed.

Kollin Holles, the boss of Boxtel wrote:At least we'll get into qualifying proper this time around. The car and our two drivers look quicker than the Simpson so we might get on the grid on Saturday (knocks on wood furiously).

Andrea Sassetti wrote:You can't use the car as an excuse when your team-mate is faster than you. Before moving to us you were reveared as a quali specialist and now you're slower than Koczo? To be fair, Koczo is a great driver, there's no doubt, but you were one of the absolute best over a single lap. What happened? We expect more from you!

Wizzie wrote:Blimey. Random grip sure does have a huge effect in the F1RWRS.

And who got out of pre-Q this time around and who dropped in their place?

Ben Fleet wrote:Sorry, but I am still acclimatising to a car at the other end of the grid. I promise that I'll improve by the end of the season! It is just so different in handling and stuff, y'know?

Martin McFry wrote:Well, that qualifying session... It wasn't great, was it? Glad to have been a second or so ahead of the team boss, but second half of the grid? I was hoping for better, and so was she, listening to the language she was using as she got out of the car! And I don't think her brother's boss was too impressed with either of them either...

Chris Dagnall said:

Well, that was a surprise, wasn´t it? I didn´t expect any of my drivers to be able to come even close of Pole Position, but Ron managed somehow to drive an incredible lap and there we are. Everyone is so close to each other that is hard to tell how things will come out tomorrow, but I obviously expect Mark to improve and maybe he can bring some points home. As for Ron, I´ve only told him to stay calm and everything will be fine.

Rhys Davies wrote:Well, fourth isn't where I was expecting to be, *glares at Melrose as he sulks in the back of the garage* but at least I beat Phillippe, and I've never been a strong qualifier, so if the car doesn't die on me I reckon I'm in with a half decent chance.

Mark Skaife wrote:Well we're higher than we thought we'd be, good work to Poppy for getting in the top half of the field. We'll have to work hard in the race to score points, but I believe it's possible.

Tropico out, Prospec in

IMHO, even though Random Grip is having a huge effect, slow cars are still slow and fast are still fast, it only is differences are much tighter this season so expect way more mixing. If we find Random Grip is too high however it could be revised, as we did last year, but for now, it´s being quite fun

Kay Lon wrote:This session has bad news written all over it: not only are we bound to prequalifying in Bathurst, we were closer to the DNQ range than I would have liked. Well, I can take from this session that I won't be alone down there, seems like more prominent names are with me at the back. So it'll just be about having fun and trying to take as much with us as possible which, given my previous Adalaide performances, most likely won't be much.

Phoenix McAllister wrote:Wow. That's all I can say with clarity right now. We knew we were in for an improvement, but securing 5th place on the grid with The Stig and only 0.271s away from pole was just superb. Douglas was a bit behind but still, considering he had limited time in the car and it's a one-off while Pippa sorts things out at Foxdale, he's exceeded our expectations. Tomorrow is going to be a tremendous fight and all I can hope is neither Stiggie nor Douglas will run into any on-track clashes, points and even a podium might be possible.

Barii Mori wrote:Woohoo, the Kamaha is flying. I was on provisional pole on the second day, but Ron Mignolet found a lot of time in the frankly underpowered DGN in the dying minutes of the session, it makes me wonder if they had the same time keeper that was doing the fastest laps in the 1976 Japanese GP as he wsa a second slower up until his last flying lap. As long as the car, stays together and no one crashes into me then I think me and Nicolas Steele will get a good number of points. I feel sorry for Hagane Shizuka as he was fast but he has a slow team mate, he should sign up Daniel Martins or Jesus Plaza, two talented drivers that are crying out for a drive.

Rosco Vantini wrote:Magnifico!! I am very 'appy, Day 1, I was in provisional pole and even though Mori and Mignolet were faster on day two, I am still on the second row. I feel that if the DGN, MRT and Kamaha cars fall off the track then I will get a win this year. However tomorrow I am racing for a point or two.

Saeed Al Faisal wrote:This Arrowtech car is a truly magnificent car and I feel with good luck we will get a load of points tomorrow.

Although now I could throw a big stick between everyone's legs because for some reason I doubt that aerond has adjusted the race distance in accordance with the F1RTA agreement..

James Davies wrote:Whoop! Whoop! In the top 10!

Daniel Melrose, after his fourth trip to the toilet that day wrote:Dave suggested a new philosophy on setup before the race to try and induce oversteer into the car and it worked in getting us into qualifying proper. If I wasn't so crook, I might have stood half a chance of hauling the car into the race itself. Hopefully we can keep this form going for next weekend at Bathurst and beyond.

Hold on, is Andrea Battani male or female?

Kay Lon wrote:I pretty much expected nothing else for this race but a retirement, my record in Adalaide has never been good - maybe because it's a shitty city, but that's a discussion for another day. Onwards to Mount Panorama, where we may be in PQ but considering that we are on level with Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport who steamrolled the session we will only fail to get into qualifying proper if anybody screws up. We even have a shot at leaving prequalifying again, so I am not worried about anything. Now I'd like to dedicate myself to the ladies, if you don't mind... no, wait, I think I have found something better to do.
