GPGSL S8 Round 14 -Monaco Grand Prix - The RD's Short Straw >> SHOCKING NEWS AT PAGE 204!!! <<

Owen Edwards @oensan 3 hrs
My championship chances are officially over.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!

Decent race, better than the last one.
Its looking unlikely we will challenge for the championship now.
Will just have to aim for a top 5 finish.

My race was pretty much over after the first lap, the only thing I could still do was to bring it back home safely, which I did managed to do.

---

I fooled myself into thinking that I could finally do a good race, but obviously I was wrong =(

---

---

Hope I can keep up my performance in the next few test sessions, top 5 and I'm happy!
Good result for Michael in the Christel too

---

nice race for Demon, so I hope for a similar success at Hockenheim, Germany. Looking forward to it.

Tobias didn't really need a DNF but a top ten for Ruben is decent. All a bit of a comedown after Brazil though...

Buaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Shame we lost a potential win with that first lap mayhem. Although that promoted me a few places it wasn't good. 7th is another solid finish, my 7th top 10 in nine races, which ties me with Ross in 6th (although his 2nd place best finish puts him ahead). Despite Stefan beating me, this year is being a dream compared with the last one. Hope I don't wake up! Heh.

Can I put in a protest for Connor Steer with his 11 position gain considering he was running the race? :P

What good would that do? Besides, RDs are not allowed to change anything unless told to do so. So protesting will be a waste of time.

It was a joke, hence the ":P"

Awesome coverage Connor, must have been a great race to watch. I got very nervous when Ed did his pitstop and was under enormous prssure to stay in the lead of the long train of cars I was genuinely disappointed when Silvestre crashed out in the lead, that was such a shame for MAC Racing, it was looking very good for them.

Never the less, Ed becomes the first driver this season to win two races, well done mate

I don't know what happened to John on the last lap. He started the lap in 11th, but got held up by Hinz's incident, then tumbled down to 15th. Did he fall? Or was he pushed?



5 x WCC - S5, S6, S7, S8, S10 | 4 x WDC - S5 Nick van der Voort ; S6, S7, S8 Ed Greenhalgh | 2 x WTC - S6 Stuart Ingers; S8 Andrei Sevastian

Fantastic to win my 3rd Belgian GP in a row, and the 5th in a row for AMR/Velox! Call me Kimi!

It was a nervous few laps at the end there, and I was lucky to escape being bumped from behind at the Bus Stop - but after that it was good to pull away again.

EDIT: Also nice to see the Australians anchoring both ends of the table!

Sense of humour failure!

Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!

I have officially no idea what happened to me in that last lap. One moment I was 11th, next I was 15th
Of course these lost 4 places hurt, but then again don't make that much of a difference, yet. The whole race was lost in the 1st round, I'm afraid.


GPGSL : Team Owner of 'Maverick Track Performance' (MTP)

Is this still a Team Launch thread ?



SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS - 10th of April 2053

After the reveal of the main contenders of the forthcoming GPGSL Season 347 (Tyrant Motorsports, Australis GP, TTW Racing...) here is now the launch of the french team Ecurie Mistral.
Team owner, manager, driver and cooker Eric Moinet had nothing to say but : "Putain, il pleut"

first of all: fantastic coverage

disapointing race tbh. i think i had a great race but being run off the track by other drivers twice - the second incident being very dangerous and costly - is an absolute joke. not cool at all.
