I meant them to be leveled down to standard starter perf for new drivers or - what's also fine for me - a bit above standard starter perf to honor their achievements. /edit: Made that clear in previous post as wellby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Damn, 13. isn't what I hoped for. But it seemed that both Adam and myself didn't get the tires working very good. Well, regarding the fact that if Velox's FP was pretty good the qualifying was a crap, I hope that it turns around this time and Nick and Matt will be able to do a better job. @Mal: I don't know which helmet I had, but it definitely wasn't mine (which was iby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Well, regarding the poll-results at the moment, there's not much that would become changed. And I see the point that the "old" drivers and teams don't want their advantage to get lost, what is pretty natural. But it isn't very realistic and annoying for others that don't get the chance to become a race-driver at all. As far as I heard until now, there are testers iby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Interview with JM after the race Shortly after the race, John Maverick talked about the Brasil GP, the situation at Velox and the plans for his future in the GPGSL Reporter: "Mr. Maverick, that was an exciting weekend for you and the team, wasn't it?" JM: "Indeed. In the free practice I had an incredible speed but Adam had some problems to find a good setup. But the quaby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

That's again the carrot and the stick. Great performance from Matt again, 2nd place is a solid base for the race. But I really wonder what happened to Nick again. 14th place is definitely out of his possibilities. Very very sad indeed. Well, at least some points should be possible anyway.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Woooohooooo, my first 1. place. And that without boost. I know I repeat myself again and again, but this car is amazing. The mechanics are doing such a great job, they give me exactly what I need to get the maximum out of the car. Adam did a very good job as well. I thought him to catch me up in his last round, as usual but I suppose he had a little mistake in there. Thanks for that, mateby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Great job from Matt and Nick. Another double victory, many points and more money to further improve the car This team's work is really amazing. All the guys worked so hard to find a good setup for the car and that's the result. I'm looking for the party right nowby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

Damn good result for both, Matt and Nick. 2nd and 3rd is a good starting position, so this can become a good weekend. FP was great as well. 2nd without driver's boost is great. I had a very good last round and that was definitely the maximum I could get out of the car. Adam as 5th did a good job as well. But I was a bit surprised that he couldn't go my pace, I expected him to kick myby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
Great. My version 1 helmet was already in the 5.2 Mod, if I remember right and the v2 one I sent to Mal so it should be in the V6 Mod actually. So you should have at least my (crapped) v1 helmet. It's Good Friday and I'm in holidays, so even if I would have recognized your your message in time, I wouldn't have had the link at my fingertips to send you again.

Hey guys, I got another idea that I'd like to be discussed. It would mean a bit more additional effort and so if one of the RDs says no, I'm more than fine with it. At the moment there's no real advantage for the race drivers coming from the test drivers. But if we would adjust the boost-times for the race drivers, so that they were able to send their driver's boosts eby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

What a great great job from Velox Reporter: Mr. Maverick, now that the race is shortly over, what can you say to your companions performances? J.M.: This was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Nick finally managed to stay out of all trouble and controlled the race from the beginning. No doubt that he'd win this when simply staying on the track. And Matt, great driving.

8th in free practice is ok, I think. I wasn't able to get the tires work correctly and so had pretty much problem with understeering. So all in all, I'm happy with this place. It looked to me that Matt had a similar problem today in the qualifying and therefore wasn't able to go Nick's pace. But if it gets dry tomorrow he should be able to get on the top three anyway.by JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4

At least this relegation system is undoable, in my opinion. In addition to the mod-problems already mentioned, this would most likely mean that all the same teams would relegate into or out of the series all the time, as there is no continuity. The new teams would have no time to establish and fall out of the series. And the teams that were already in the series before would most likely be theby JohnMaverick - Grand Prix 4
