I know Christel VXR is leaving and all that but I am really perplexed at just how much my team has struggled this year considering nothing has changed. I can't say I expected to finish 5th again but I didn't expect to be pretty much last. Could I please ask that next time the perfs are checked our team perf is looked at on the very small chance that a mistake has been made.

The perfs are constantly checked, but I checked them yet again right now and can't find any mistakes. The team perf is calculated by adding 1/12 of the championship points to the starter perf. Feel free to double check it yourself. But the variables in the excel file are correct.

+1 on checking those perf files. Some teams have made questionable leaps forward this year when no other team in the history of this league perf calc method have been able to do so. No disrespect to the dudes at One Racing, but that ability to progress doesn't make sense at all. At the same time, Shadow and TNR have literally took a jump off the other side of the world. Again, that doesn't make sense, not for two top teams. Something isn't right, and hasn't been since the start of the year.
That on it's own is a shock.
But ADD to that...
TNR have had 8 team retirements. 5 from Owen alone, and he hasn't even used any driver boosts.
TNR also have used the LEAST amount on team boosts all season, yet begun as one of the top half teams.
Shadow are in the same boat. Something has gone wrong somewhere. I know its just a bit of fun, but thats an anomolly and a half!
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

No disrespect here, either, but you guys should probably read through the rules section to see how the perfs are calculated. It's a natural phenomenon, and has always been during a season, that the teams who do well at the first quarter of the season usually stay competitive over the rest of the season. And with the teams being artificially brought closer together at the start of a season, this is mostly a gamble. Good results bring many championship points. And more championship points bring a higher perf increase.
Last season it was Christel who shot to the front from nowhere. This year it's ONE and partly Demon. Another reason for that is that the bottom teams get a lot more boost than the top teams.
I can only repeat myself. You guys should really say what you want and stick to it. One season the bottom teams shall be helped and get a better chance to catch up, and when that happens it isn't right again.

Great work by the Demon team this weekend. Our best results ever, for the team as a whole. Great work. These season 9 parts I have been sneaking onto the car, seem to be paying dividends. Not to mention, some great driving by my talented roster of drivers.... Great stuff lads! We shall have a team debrief with the company of those Martini girls i recruited down in Monaco....
Seems like the Whinging Poms are at it again.... LOL. Sheesh, they won the first two Ashes tests, have a brand new 3rd in line to the throne, what's to whinge about???....
There do seem to be some strange results this season, with a lot of the expectations totally thrown into confusion. Many called for drastic changes, and a change in the status quo. That has and hasn't happened! ONE Racing have surprised all with their speed and consistency - i expeceted that One and Demon would be battling it out down the rear of the field, and i had hoped "just" to not finish last in the constructors title. Well, we have well exceeded that ambition.....

I think that's normal in every real world racing series you find. Would Vettel celebrate a, say, 8th place? I don't think so. But would Bottas celebrate it? Certainly, considering the car he has.
As for the points system, I know I'm one of the guys who got a benefit, from that and from the mysterious ultra-perf-boost. I really can't tell anything about the latter because although I keep a registry of my own perf, I don't have one for the teams. And since ART became ONE and its perf was reseted, I didn't think it was necessary. More importantly, I don't even know how to update them LOL, I just check the system and forget it inmediately. For the points thing, I am okay with reverting it. The tables have become NASCAR-ish, and we know how messed up that system is
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

AMR are still dominating more or less, although their cars were well sabotaged at Magny-Cours.

I haven't seen the whole race but I have to say that our result (pole,win,fastest lap and most places gained) is a bit influenced by the rain and a good amount of luck. I think that's part of the game
And then I crashed at Monaco when I could catch a 2nd place. It's just payback time
To the guys who are complaining about their screwed season... I understand you from one side as I was a boss like you till last season and seeing your team go down so easily is quite pissing off,especially if other teams reach the top, but you have to take in account that we're in a pc's hands and there isn't a rule that establishes our results(and I say that it's a good thing... I see some talented guys would request a payment for their performances if this was full online)

Think we've sorted that one between ourselves
Now, I'm going to be out for a little while (just graduated from university), but I intend to post a video in the coming days relating to the final races of this season. The main object of ire this year has been the 1 lap qualifying system - so with permission of the mod team, I will be looking to help find a solution to this issue.
I will reveal the full plan in the video
