Yeah I was actually going to say that we'll be starting at 14:00 on the dot, so please make sure you're on early if possible. We won't be waiting for people this week I'm afraid. Normally I don't mind doing so, but it's not every weekend there is a World Cup final!

How long is the race? May have to miss it to take my partner to the airport. Also probably out the next week due to work (and for sure out the two following weeks for vacation).
Yeah we might as well do that!
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I cant edit the google doc so I'll just put it here Team Shake N Bake nominate Silverstone as our joker track.

This might not be popular, but do we want to move this race to next week? We could still meet up for some fun races, but it sounds like we will have 4 or more people gone this week. Plus with the World Cup, we are going to be very pressed for time.
Do we want to take a one week break and come back next week, or just suck it up and do it this week?

Haha, I actually really dig soccer. I was really thinking NED was going to win it all, so I was annoyed they went out like they did. At least we get to watch GER vs Messi for the final!

I'm so so sorry short! Bad choice on my part, the right view didn't show you the second time and the first I'd committed to the move just before you said you were there

It's all good man, it's all part of the experience. Had some fun battles trying to keep you behind me. You have gotten significantly better since even the beginning of this series.

I over ran a corner during the race as you said I was fast, I was to busy feeling chuffed to notice the corner LOL.
And I should say thanks to soundscream for trying to get out my way as I chasing short down the straight, I didn't have enough speed to get by so I had to get by later.

Remember your worst race result is excluded from the Drivers championship but not the Team championship. Fastest lap points also do not count towards the Team championship.
Next week's race is at Road America.
Hope you guys are still enjoying the series!

Hey that was our joker too we listed it on the spreadsheet
Fuck it's not there
This is how i hold the N64 controller.
Reason being that my left hand is useless, and i wouldn't trust it with something as important as aiming.
I play all games on N64 with that grip, works great even in smash bros.
Funny that i have no problem using my left thumb to steer in Forza now actually.
Regarding raging and breaking peripherals, I wrote this earlier in the thread, but here is a picture of the aftermath.

I was going to tell the tale of my mates SNES regarding game rage...

That's pretty disappointing. I know it was there too.
Spreadsheet has been locked from any changes since the championship began but if you guys both assumed that you'd played it today then I'll add it back in.

what does that mean? does the person with the fastest lap get a perk in the individual standings?
Fastest lap pays 1 point in the drivers championship.

The Auto Union should be free, right? I thought all DLC cars were free to to buy for the first time in game.
Yeah but I bought the season pass with an account which isn't my main one (to buy the pass on the US store for much much less) so my main account doesn't get the free cars. If car gifting was still a thing it wouldn't be an issue but until then, I have to buy the DLC cars the "old way".
