Hi guys, im new here but i would be intrested if the time is ok. So im living in Finland, here is UTC+2 time. And what time are races going on?
Thanks and hope we can race.
It will happenPre Race Questions:
1. What do you think of the Abu Dhabi track? Is it a good place to have a season finale, if not, where would you have it?
Well I do tend to bum this track, but that's largely just to being good at it. The track itself is a bit average and has no heritage. It works as a finale though so can't complain too much.
2. How would you rate (out of 10) your personal performance this season? Are you happy with how results went? Where do you feel you need to improve the most?
7/10 First half was awful but I didn't really focus too much on my results. The second half has been much, much better. A few results slipped away still, but given the quality of the guys beating me I can't be too upset. Avoiding penalties is probably the biggest thing for me to work on now.
3. What was your favourite race this season?
Last stint at Belgium was incredible fun
4. Who do you think will win the RaceDepartment Season 11 title?
Sean's to lose thanks to codemasters
5. How could we improve in terms of how the league is run?
The penalty points system is totally redundant in my opinion. Mitchell's penalty at CotA for instance, he might as well have not been punished.
Consistent broadcast implemented like last season.
New drivers have to prove themselves in some form before being added in to races. NUFC in Australia, CNF Morgan and ShupaSharpShuta come to mind.
Fix the fantasy points system.
Constructive criticism. Have very much enjoyed my time here at RD. Unsure whether I'll continue on yet but outside of AOR this is the only place I feel like I could have an enjoyable time racing.
- Mitchell (Raimith92)
- Round 20: Brazil
- Final run of the quali session and Mitchell clearly blocks me heading into T4
It was astonishing how long the AI kept driving. I did look if I could retire or not.
However it is my fault. Ill take the penalty for it.
Will post a video tomorrow. Seems that I need to step up my game. My apology to Dan and the stewards!

I'll write an essay at some point.I appreciate you jotting things down and your feedback as it shows that you have some dedication and passion for the league -- and you and i have discussed some of this stuff privately. But can you expand further perhaps on some ideas to actually carry some of these things out?
You brought up Mitchell's "lack" of penalty at COTA. The penalty points are used to discipline bad behavior, and over the course of a season these are to add up in to their own punishments. Mitchell did not need further penalty from the incident with Jake as he pulled over and stopped for over 10 seconds to wait for Jake to take the position back. Previous incidents this season where people took someone out and continued racing without any regard got handed a 10 second penalty. Why does a driver need to be punished with a further time penalty for doing the right thing where the same penalty for driving with no respect or regard for others would have yielded the same thing? I discussed this same ideal with you when I had that Germany AOR incident with you. Please explain so I can understand.
For the Mitchell incident you brought up, the main issue you have to recognise there is where did Mitchell go on to finish in that race compared to the two cars he'd given damage to? Much, much higher, when at that point of the incident they were very much in the same race. Undoubtedly the incident has had a greater impact on those guys than it has him even with him slowing down. You've tried to compensate for that with penalty points, but the issue in that for me is the penalty point system itself. It would take an awful lot of bad behaviour for anyone to reach the penalty points required for punishment to take place, and that's something that doesn't happen in this league.I appreciate you jotting things down and your feedback as it shows that you have some dedication and passion for the league -- and you and i have discussed some of this stuff privately.
