GPGSL S9 R13 - Austrian GP - A-1 Ring [Race online p205!]

Maybe if I send some flowers... or pizza... flowers made of pizza. Maybe that would secure the race seat for me.

Well, that was a tough initiation into the GPGSL.
Attrocious weather conditions yet i think i did ok.
The race was going well until McCarthy took me out, ruining my day.
The pictures dont lie - i was clearly in front, so i can only have been hit from the side or behind.
McCarthy can apologise whenever he wishes....

Wow, great work Jack, superb performance!

Legge to star in cliched training montage

Demon race driver Jake Legge is planning to turn around his season by starring in an underdog movie-style training montage, according to his management team. The Brit started very well in his second season with the Australian team, but has failed to trouble the scoresheet in the last few races.

"In every underdog film, the protagonist usually starts well but falls into trouble in the middle section of the tournament they're in." said a spokesman. "To overcome this, they usually follow an exercise routine with upbeat background music. Jake will be on a training montage routine for the next week, with that song from Team America and also that one which Ivan Drago trains to in Rocky IV. We hope this will turn his season around in the most hackneyed way possible."

In unrelated news, the Demon Racing Official Store will be selling special edition leg-warmers over the next couple of weeks.

In other news, a team of lawyers have been seen entering Demon Racing HQ. Can't imagine why.

Good result for the team, just a shame we can't seem to consistently push for the top 12 every race (and in the meantime, I drop back even further in the test standings...come on, I've been up there for most of the series, WTF is going on?!)

*Charrel was seen leaving the circuit Kimi style*

He seemed very unhappy about the recent results, lets hope he can regain his performance

Very happy with a podium finish. The car, while not the fastest here, felt really stable in the wet and that certainly helped out there.

We as a team have been struggling lately! Very few good weekends for us this season! Things have got to change for the better, surely! Demon Racing is better than this.....
Might have to bolt on some of those super duper high performance special engines for Zandvoort....

Fantastic race for TSM - Well done guys! We always go well on British soil

Makes me sad, makes me sad

"If in doubt, Flat out."

17pts between Gilson and Greenhalgh, and 9pts between MPR and SCR. The championships are still very close, and with 7 rounds to go it could very well be a close finish.

As for Snake Motorsports, we gotta turn things around in Zandvoort! We need them points! No better place then home

...or you ran me out of road trying to make the pass... no apology coming, you gotta leave some racing room. A racing incident, and a shame for us both.

Eric, pretty sure that's the cat I ran over on the way to the circuit haha

Demon Racing press release...

Demon Racing CEO Glen Sheppard just wanted to remind all race drivers, of a unique fact about GPGSL history at Zandvoort. Yes, team boss Glen had won the last two races at the historic track, scoring back to back wins at the circuit.
Sheppard just seemed to have the raw talent, speed and a bizarre love for the layout, where he dominated in the two previous Zandvoort events. Now as a team owner, and out of a race seat, someone else has a chance to put there name on the winners trophy.
Fingers crossed for Demon Racing, the knowledge Sheppard has of Zandvoort, his two race drivers Legge and Nell may be able to replicate the winning pattern.
