You get the same points for a dnf in the new points system as you did the old, nothing! How does that penalise massively?

I kinda understand Owen. I think he means that until last season, only 12 drivers scored, the rest didn't (regardless they'd finished or not). But now, the only single way to not score a point, is not finishing. If you are the only DNF, everyone scores but you, and you can lose a big bunch of positions in the standings.
However, I do agree with the new system. I mean, look at what F1 has done with the points system. And in NASCAR the points are pretty much the same, if you finish, you score. I mean, penalising a DNF is exactly what it is intended to do. Perhaps we should take a quick look on our failure rates but even so, the points system isn't unfair. In fact, it is in my opinion, along with the new qualy format, what has given this season so much thrill.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Hopefully my dear brother will have finished refurbing my old PC laptop today when I see him and so I should be able to run some races again in the near future.

I'm glad you said hopefully!
It's ancient!
You'll need to make sure there is enough coal in the boiler and steam in the pipes for it to even run GP4 let alone look at running a race

I think the Stuarts have more concern with the English Civil War than some poxy collision in Japan!

GPGSL publishes video coverage material to Legge vs. Santilal incident
In a first statement, one member of the GPGSL has stated that there will be no further investigation in the incident since the GPGSL is not eager to become as picky as the F1 race stewards and penalize every single contact that is caused by pure racing. In his opinion the incident is unlucky and probably could have been avoided, like it was by many other drivers in similar situations, but is eventually marked as a racing accident. The member stresses, though, that this is only his personal opinion, that he is pretty sure though that it is in line with the other stewards.
Oh wow. This went way out of hand than I intended. I merely posted that as a poke and wasn't expecting anything this big. I promise to put a
next time round. Sorry for the confusion all 
.Ah it seems me heading to canada quickly means ive missed all the GPGSL gossip. Hopefully the midnight practice laps I've done the the snakemobile (the hatchback version ) will prove to be worth it

Back from Japan and its sunshine days and what I found at home ?
Snowing all over the field. It is Russia-looking a little bit and we're not used of that here in Paris.
Hopefully it will help me in Montréal if we got the same weather.

Hey everyone.
I'd greatly appreciate all of you taking a look at this thread if you get the chance.

I had to write a feature which focused on the ethics of journalism. My feature, which I have shared in the link above is about how qualified are sports journalists to report on sporting events that become highly politicised, like in the case of the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2012.
Any comments or feedback would be massively appreciated.
Many thanks

Personally I am not a huge fan of the randomness of the series this season, but then I am in a similar position to Tom in the sense that I've carefully built my team up over the last four years, so I don't want to just see that all washed away.
Fortunately it has worked out for us so far this season, but I'm sure I would be pretty pissed if we were bottom of the Constructors right now.
Still, the GPGSL rolls on, this July the league will actually be 5 years old, which is crazy.
It is nice to think that I have been here right from the beginning.

I think it's fair to say that we, as in the GPGSL and its participants, will no doubt re-visit the changes we have made with a view to some fine tuning for the next season.
