Completely agree.

My GPGSL Career

There would be no end in penalizing, for instance Jo-Anne can also get penalized for returning to the track. It's the GP4 AI, it's not always perfect, rather annoying sometimes. Leave the race as it is.

Taken a while, but I've finally won a race, and what a finish!
Perfect timing as I'm off on holiday soon too

Glad my ex-Christel teammate is up there on the podium with me too

And unlike Vettel, I won't now change my helmet, the purple CLIC sponsored beaut is staying

Congratulations to Greg for another great racecoverage.

Congratulations to Jack and AMR for the win, it`s always good to see someone win for the first time. Even when with controversy.

I`d also like to congratulate Michael with his podium. Stunning race from him.

"If in doubt, Flat out."

There are the points I wanted so much :D
I am happy with the race, couldn't catch the first few cars, especially after my pit crew wouldn't let me out to not get an unsafe-release-penalty (how could the cameras miss that?). Was obviously the right decision, even if it was at the expense of quite some time.
So let's get to Donington, our pace in the rain was good and forecast already announced high chance of rain. So let's see, what happens.

After 9 rece weekend, we have got, hhhm, 0 points!!!

Wow, a bit of a mixed race for Demon.
And, as I have been away for work for a few days, i missed the apparent big drama of the last lap, and subsequent suggestions of penalties : for an AI race. Ummmm, ridiculous to even suggest or consider post race penalties on a race solely AI based. If we ever go down that path, the series will certainly die a quick death!

Yes!!

Great drive Gareth, a stellar job in tricky conditions whilst chaos reigned all around

Also commiserations to Eric, could have easily had two cars in the points here judging by our progress in the early laps, and one last thank you to Chris - thanks for sticking around mate

In other news a official press release for Season 10 will follow shortly!

Happy with my performance here in Spa. 5th place is a good result in the tricky conditions. Really didn't expect to get that after qualifying, but some retirements and a good car in the wet really helped.

Rico: thank you

Jack: thank you

Another DNF, and a big question : why do all the girls want to get so close to me ?

Disappointing for Pederson, the team got the strategy wrong today, well done to Max as well

Although I'm happy with the win by Jack it was sad to see it won in this way. The slipstream values have been set so as to encourage overtaking. However, as the cars are then so close behind each other, it increases the chances of this kind of incident. If this had happened further down the field, I feel it wouldn't have been such a big talking point and in the past has not drawn a penalty of any kind.

Well done Jack, great drive, especially considering your earlier off.

Unlucky for John. Getting blocked on both your qualifying runs would have drawn penalties in F1, but this is the GPGSL. Great drive though to get yourself up to 12th though.
