McNamara rules the consumption battle
After all the build up and controversy, the oval turned out to be a boring race of tactics. There were no incidents, just a few engine blow-ups that scrambled the safety car. So it became a race of fuel consumption, and James McNamara was the lucky driver, as his Cosworth engine helped him stay out while all others pitted towards the end of the race. He ended up winning by a lap thanks to a late safety car. Smokers Paradise got a double podium. The three former Epsilon Champions bowed out of the races with their cars early with successive engine failures.
Up next is the non-championship Demolition Derby race at Threns 8track. The grid there will be massive. I can't say yet how, but it will be good.
I think all I can do is apologise for the engine screw up. I tried to do something, I thought I understood it, but it didn't do what I was hoping for. Next season, everyone will start with the same car and engine, and be able to develop a lot more than just your driver skills.
Demolition Derby Preview
The final race of an era beckons. The Threns 8track is a figure of 8 circuit with a top speed crossover. As the attrition rate is likely to be very high, the grid will double in size (ie each driver will have 2 cars), and I will also drive one of the cars. That car is the hidden "Prawn GP" car driven by "Dave Lister". I will not deliberately ram anyone, I'll just drive around normally and race, because why the hell not. Lister does take us for a lap.
