Might be more crashes than Valencia as a result of our schedules this week.
I bet Phleg has been playing 24/7 though the massive racist.

VAST highlights of Silverstone from tonight.
Shit track. Shit shit shit shit. Almost as shit as Mclaren's spam. Almost.
SHIT.
I stand no chance this weekend of being competitive because I can't bring myself to pump out the laps. Guess I'll be racing Orgun <3
Crumbs is on a crippled internet this week due to rampant piracy, so this is your chance to really bring the fight to him Phleg/Lucius. Do us proud.

I really hate this game with a controller. It's so freaking hard to have control of the rear. I burn through tires like crazy and lose so much time because it's impossible to tell when the back is kicking out until the revs are skyrocketing.

He must have the caress of an angel. I feel like a fat-fingered oaf and that's not the case at all. I can tie my shoes in one try every time.

I think the fact that my video shows you trying to ram me off the road says it all mate. It couldn't hold your attention. SHIT TRACK.
We get back Rambo but lose you?... Maybe fair trade depending on how much Rambo crashes ...
Yeah at least Rambo will bring the entertainment all being well
Bit annoyed to be missing Germany too especially when my first race back is fucking Singapore.
ARE YOU DISSIN SINGAPORE?!?

Singapore feels like a dirty Go-Kart track at a creepy carnival.

You just nailed why Lucius loves it. He's the guy in the clown costume who tries to lure small kids in to his den.

It's tough to avoid the homeless people bollards under the grandstands between 18 and 19.

Anyone up for some practice tonight? I've been at my missus' and parents for the last week so I'm in dire need of practice.
I am in as I have only done 3 laps of practice all together haha

Worst track on the calender bar none.
Yeah, you heard me.

If I'm not going out I might pop on for a while. I know I won't be racing but wouldn't mind a few spins round anyway.

The streets of Valencia were drenched last weekend as the NeoGAF F1 2011 league struggled to keep out of the Spanish walls. Our token Aussie went on to win after gaining a healthy lead from a pile-up on the first corner and managed to defend it after Staab ended up in a wall and brought out a safety car. Defending champ Foliorum was second for most of the race, however a poor tyre choice that forced an extra pit stop and ultimately drove the driver to push too hard and end up in the middle of the pack. When questioned after the race he called his race strategist a "mong" before realising he was talking about himself.
Former champ Lucius86 had similar bad luck with a bad tyre strategy, stupid mistakes and a mismanagement of fuel consumption crippling his attack for a second title. Pictures of fellow Force India driver Phleg apparently sucking fuel out of his engine prior to the race were published this week, but the potential champion insisted he was simply practicing his blowjob skills, not sabotaging his teammate's race.
Speech and Orgun were the big winners of the unpredictable weather and bad choices of the drivers ahead of them, finishing second and third respectively. Further down the field, Kharma failed to maintain the luck of the Irish and ended up in the wall on several occasions, throwing away his blistering pace in the first lap. Kyaw was a victim of the weather and some unfortunate clashes, as was Quiche who not only struggled to find pace but got berated by the defending champ for "blocking" him as he was being lapped.
This week, more rain is likely as we head to drizzly Britain for Silverstone, a track that is most definitely "shit" if you believe most of the paddock. Despite the grid consisting mostly of Brits, the real homecoming was for Crumbs, who visited the site of where his ancestors raped several children before they were shipped off to Australia. Crumbs commented to the media afterwards that it was a "very emotional moment ... and rather arousing".
Can the Aussie hold on to the lead or will misfortune bite him at last and give Phleg and Lucius a chance to eat in to his championship quest?

That race was a bit of a blur to be honest, my head was still in a spin from visiting the actual site where my great grandmother was raped by her father/my great great grandfather. Can you believe that there was still traces of blood and seminal fluid at the site all these years later.
They put me on fucking full wets the useless twats.
Great race. Stupid pits put me on primes at the first box-in when I wanted options...
Sorry for ramming into Phleg at Brooklands corner early in the race.

Wonderful race for you, thought you were gonna get fucked over in the first lap with all the close contact.

Sorry about pushing you onto the grass those few times I promise it was just the game fucking up again
*Muttley laugh*
You guys are lucky I wasn't in mumble cause I would've blown your ears out when they put me on fucking full wets.

Good vid, Lucius. We had a very similar race again!
Sorry about ramming you, Orgun. It looks terrible in Lucius' vid. If you look in my vid I look behind me and there's enough space, and when I move over the arrow keeps telling me you're behind me :S
My highlights.
First few corners were a bit mental. I had to fight Lucius for a bit until I made a stupid mistake. Then I was catching Speech until he pitted, and it was a matter of keeping my primes okay for 15 laps then. When I got out of the pits I was trying to keep Kyaw off and managing fuel. I left the last lap in to show you if Kyaw had 2/3 more corners he would have had me.
Very fun race. Maybe not the best video, but managing those tyres was hard as hell. I'm quite proud of myself for not spinning on the dead primes or the inters on the last few laps when the rain fell hard. Wish I did this last weekend!

Wasn't the most ideal start, but it was a lot of fun!
Shoulda gone for primes I think, especially given the 7 extra seconds the Silverstone pit adds. Was a bit (read: very) optimistic hoping I could get back to where I was after going option, prime in the build up to the rain. Then again I was crap in the wet so it likely made no difference.
I'm looking forward to Germany. Put countless hours in on that track in PGR3 and 4 and hope it'll be a dry weekend.
EDIT: Had a look at the last league up to this point and the points situation is so similar! I'll get the table in a minute up to race 5.

You not here next week either? I had no-one to race
Sadly not, no. Off to Cyprus for a week but I'll be back with a vengeance hoping to make up for lost time.

I already apologised and showed you what it looks like from my angle you massive iRacing tart.
Germany is amazing. But fuck Germany.
The penultimate corner is going to be a source of drama, especially being at the end of DRS. If you don't hit it just right you'll go flying or spin. No room for two cars whatsoever. LOVE IT.

I'm back!! Guys!! Guys!! I'm back!!
And I'm pumped to reenter the league! Was able to watch some of the highlights videos. Great stuff.
Will reinstall the game today or tomorrow to finally get rid of that stupid bug where everything on the track is made of indestructable concrete for me.
Now I'm waiting for the inevitable crash I'm going to have soon. I've been awake for 40+ and need to go on till evening to prevent jetlag. Right now I'm wide awake but tiredness will probably set in soon!
