Switching to hards wasn't the brightest call it seems, didn't think they'd be THAT slow

At the end of the season, I am going to retire from Formula Manager. Some of you guys probably saw the "hint" on my profile description, but I can confirm it is true.

Omer how can danica survive with 0% tyre wear in these last few laps? I just assume the tyres exploded and she so skilled she drove on the rims for 2 laps

Guess you can imagine it like Raikkonen a few years back at China, sliding all over the place.

Aww c'mon, surely Rossi could've crossed the line with a flaming engine Weak effort, should probably go back to motorbikes if he can't handle a couple flames

%0 tyre wear does not mean a puncture. It means that tyres are extremely worn. The driver makes more mistakes, drives much slower and closer to crashing out. She managed to drive, but her speed was abysmal indeed.

Such a pussy.

 

[Tim.E]

We finished!

 

[Gary Ludlum]

Nice nice! Bravossimo Sebastian, perfect drive!

@kedy89 - A usual BRT race, but tell us about the different strategy of Silver Soul Racing and how they managed to rise up so much in the field
@TTupsi - What is the current situation in the team regarding Mouton's decline of team-orders?
@Aidan Keranen - No one was expecting a failure from the season's best engine. What happened there?
@Tim.E - Finally a double points finish for the team. Will more to come?
@airutonpurosuto8912 - Is it true that you will sell your team to Milos Ancevski at the end of this season?
@Gary Ludlum - What an entrance! Will we see more from you?
@rubaru - Are you worried about Peterson's failure as you use the same engine?
@Azabadaza - You were so close for a double points finish today. Are you disappointed?
@Slyfrequency - Patrick boasted about her "dead-tyre" drive. Was that dramatic as much as she makes?

MARKETPLACE is OPEN!

The market will be closed on Saturday night. The race will begin on Monday night. No further reminders will be given.
Good luck and happy spending!

@kedy89 - A usual BRT race, but tell us about the different strategy of Silver Soul Racing and how they managed to rise up so much in the field

Several factors allowed us to pursue this strategy. Track characteristics, the race length, Bridgestone having the most durable tyre in the field. According to our calculations, the time saved by doing 1 or 2 stops less was more than we'd lose by running on higher fuel loads. The soft tyre was a gamble, but it just worked out.
This really was our best chance to get something of this race, if we had used the same strategy as the other teams we most likely wouldn't have been in a position to battle for a top 10 finish.

She's a good driver and that's why we have her on the team, we'll be in talks with our race engineers on this mistake however, Danica shouldn't of been running on poor tyres but she bought the car home.

Next year upgrade x2 (600)
Durability X2 (1000)

 

[Gary Ludlum]

It was indeed a hell of a drive by Vettel. The team praises his efforts. Our next target is a podium finish. As we see from our first race, that one is not so easy in this grid. But we will try and aim for the best. We are a winning team, not a backmarker!

Lamborghini for 3 races, 300cr
2X Durability Upgrade. That car wear is crazy and has to be eradicated!

@rubaru - Are you worried about Peterson's failure as you use the same engine?

It would seem to me Peterson was running pretty hard there at the end of the race trying to run away from Michelle, and it cost him his race. Ram F1 don't normally run that aggressive unless we are trying to build a gap or close one, so I'm not concerned about it. The A-M has been very good for us, putting the car in the mid-field instead of leading the back markers. We are very happy with the change from Riferra.

@Azabadaza - You were so close for a double points finish today. Are you disappointed?

Yeah I am pretty dissapointed, but I put the blame squarely on my shoulders. I didn't trust the engineer who said to turn the engine right down, instead I turned it down a little hoping that it would last the final two laps. The gamble obviously didn't pay off.

@airutonpurosuto8912 - Is it true that you will sell your team to Milos Ancevski at the end of this season?

I don't know if I want to sell my team to Milos after this season, but if anyone else than him are interested in taking over it than it's fine from me.

+1 tyre testing (400)
+1 driver training with Szisz (800)
