A very good qualifying for me. One mistake I spotted in the coverage is that it said I don't have a season 8 seat when I infact do have one.
The race has been run and won! I will post the pics tomorrow night

Just prefer those wheels mate They are Enjoz's 2d wheels but I edited Lee's 2010 textures with Maikel's GPGSL tyres.

Great concept this fantasy race. Goes to show that the car definetely makes a difference, and also shows that earning some good perf ratings in the test series, as Andre has, is a big plus!
Well done to Stu for running this race weekend. Hope we make this an annual, end of season event!

Well I feel a bit like Eddie Jordan right now.
Both my boys on the podium - a sign of things to come I wonder!? And then a TNR almost missing out to make 3 in the top 4.
Very excited about this duo, really nice coverage too, thankyou for your hard work
Real shame for Cartright, would love to give him another shot. You have my number mate!

That was pretty disappointing, up a few positions after the stops and then I start dropping down like that 
Well, I'm sorry Stefan. I would have hoped for a bit more successful return to ART. However, if you lose your rear wing in round 1 without any personal fault, the race is over right from the start. So I just used the chance to daydream of my times in the ART while I made my lonely rounds back at the grid

During last season there were some discussions about my performance levels for next season. I said I would open a discussion on it, so here it is.
I am happy to take some form or performance cut, whether it be some sort of championship handicap, 'old age' simulation or something like that. I mean of course I don't want the series to become boring for anyone, and while it is great to be performing well, I don't know if it would be good for the series for me to go out and have the potential to dominate the next season. What are people's thoughts on this?

I agree that I think it is something that needs looking at and I also think you have been most gracious in offering to take a perf cut. I wonder if we don't have to be that drastic though. I wonder, would a small "ballast perf" work. I know in Touring cars that the first three drivers are given a wieght balance to carry around for the next race. Could we implement this somehow (and only god knows how) in the perfs? Say the first three took a small reduction for the next race.
I still think though that the main aim should be to implement this "long term" and that they best way to do this is for new teams, whether they have bought out a current team, or are completely new, to start with the base perf. Then, over time there will be a gradual rotation of the top teams.
