Totally agree. Very poor comment from Mr Soutsen….
Those who criticise are more than welcome to step up and volunteer to RD…..
Huge thanks to Tobi for all the background work compiling the CSM mod (didn’t see anyone else volunteer to do it???!!!), and now the prompt posting of 1st rounds FP and Qualifying.

Pretty decent qualifying for DMR to have both cars in the top 10. Michael appears to be quite comfortable in the car on his debut weekend with us. Gareth just a bit unlucky on his laps…. Good start to the season

I know from running the F1 Manager series how much work is required to run a series like this.
Thank you all for using up your time to do such a stellar job at running this series.

That's quite an assumptious accusation towards someone that has practically kept this series alive for the last few years..
With all his hard work for not only his, but for dozens of people's entertainment, I feel it's pretty unfair to put him down as a fraud.
But that's just my opinion.

Well that was an absolutely awful qualifying from me, so far from my teammate's pace
One bad Q is not a bad race or a bad season... I'm just starting again after the passing of my beloved Nadia.
So thank you for the silence at the beginning of this new season and let us race as gentlemen.
I have to race hard to get some points for the team and to know my new car (named Nadia) a little better,
because all in all, I have my title to defend.
btw:
nice coverage of the Q

Come on? No one is cheating, its a computer game…to stop cheating suspisions why not upload the savedgame and download it and compare the perfs with what was put in. That can be done right? Tobi for instance does a race weekend using the perfs posted…when its all done save the game and upload the saved game file for everyone to download and extract the perfs.
God havent been fideling with these games for donkey years

Not sure what this fuss is about, but every RD (not just Tobi) is doing a magnificent job giving us the session informations and coverage. 
Anyway, 17th after quali isn't really worthy of a good start to the season but hopefully we can make some moves in the race and grab the needed points!

Dominik Karda | MAC Racing - #7 - Race DriverFantastic Free Practice for myself and brilliant debut for Aiden to qualify 2nd for the feature race. We are going to have a look at Jack's car, seems there might be a problem with the setup. The only way is up!
I just cannot believe the comments made by Soutsen accusing Tobi of cheating whilst RD. It's a tough job to put this show on for you and very time consuming for the RD. Only to have some ungrateful so and so (could have used much stronger language here) call it all into question. So rude and so childish in my opinion. Tobi, I have no problems with your work in RD, carry on as you were sir!

Dear Mr. Soutsen
Did I ever tamper with the perfs and cheat my way to good results?
No.
Do I consider myself lucky regarding my results in the past few seasons?
Yes, definitely. But it's not like this is the first time a driver has been a title contender/front runner over several seasons (Greenhalgh, Aleksander, Jalving, Maverick, Gilson, to name a few). I've had one of the best perfs in the field since season 8 pretty much, and have been doing well even before I started RD'ing more often. Moving to Alpha for S11 was a calculated move, since I figured with 32BHP boost in stock and my perf I might well have a good season. The 4BHP difference in starter perfs to the top teams can easily be made up by boosting frequently early season, which I seem to recall we did. Arguably you also need some luck, which I had. The 2nd place in S12 was mostly backed by my 2 wins early season (both races I didn't run, btw), and the lack of consistent top results for any other driver on the grid. I mean Marcus had 74 of his 88 points scored after 7 rounds, and the top 10 in the WDC were separated by a mere 30 points.
You kept your mouth shut when I won the title in S13. Well thanks, have a breakdown of the races I ran that season:
Round 1: Q2/R2 Sure the result in the opening round can be important for the remainder of the season, but it doesn't have to be. Frankly speaking I was happy to see Ruben win it. He wasn't that lucky in our 2 season together at TSS, and was hoping it would put him in contention that season.
Round 4: Q16/R4 Unlike many others I stayed on track in a rain-soaked race, and also profited from 3 DNFs. Similar to Daly, who gained even more places. Otherwise the pace for points definitely wasn't there, as indicated by my 15th fastest lap time.
Round 6: Q2/R2 Double boosted I seem to recall (definitely a driver boost), so definitely a suprise I got 2nd there.
Round 9: Q14/RDNF Going up and down the order until my engine failure. Lap chart says P12 at that point, with 3 drivers who started ahead of me already crashed out. Maybe a point or two at most had I finished.
Round 11: Q1/R1 Definitely a driver boost (as always at my home race), maybe also team. At that point also backed by good perfs from the previous races. Yes I won, yes I was damn happy about it. Pedersen and Russell as main contenders in 2nd and 3rd btw.
The rerun of the Spanish GP Season 11 that I won:
I finished 2nd in the initial run. I did it because there was carnage (as I said), which would've screwed plenty of drivers, not because I had a poor result.
Post quali save file for your satisfaction: [www.mediafire.com]
Summarizing I'll say that the displayed disrespect and defamation takes away a lot of joy. Doesn't really make me want to run any more races when I know there's already someone waiting behind a corner to come at me should I dare to have a good result, even if I did nothing wrong. So I will do exactly that, at least that way I can properly celebrate a win again. As for where that leaves the GPGSL, don't know. Over the course of the years I've been participating there have been many people saying they'll definitely help out more soon/run races etc. Guess how many actually did...
As for your contribution to this series. Yes you've run one race before. Thanks. But at the same time you also kept on disappearing and reappearing, causing plenty of work in the process. Personally I wouldn't put any trust in you.
==================================
Race will be posted in a few mintues, it's been done since Saturday morning, but obviously I didn't want to post all at once.
Also huge thanks to all those who showed their support, it means a lot.

Congratulations on pole and the race win Tobi!
Great result for Gareth, while Michael may have just pushed the DMR equipment a bit too hard on debut - we will iron out the bugs/driving style to make driver and machine gel

Didn't expect points after the qualification so I'll take that.
Thanks Tobi for doing the coverage
