    Thanks for the season all,
    We never had less than 14 on the starting grid all season, awesome attendance, I only wished we got a full 16 car grid again like we had in round 1:roflmao:. Lobbies all went smooth no lag issues only inconvenience was when @Tristan Jones had his update run late at round 6 but he kept us informed and the delay was only 5 minutes:thumbsup:. Little stressing at the times we had 3-4 reserves and trying to find out if they have a spot or not but it worked out in the end.
    Hope to see you all back in Season 12.

    Going into the race with the title already wrapped up I didnt do much practice, luckily Saturdays FIA Manufactures cup was at Interlagos so the track was still pretty fresh in my mind.
    I surprisingly didnt score a pole in the first 6 races so coming into the final qualifying of the season I was determined to get one. After my two laps I was on pole by half a second ahead of @scottb721 but a few cars got a 3rd shot which i dismissed as i thought that on what would be their 4th lap on their tyres that they wouldn't improve, so i looked away from the screen until the race started. To my surprise a PNL car of @ControllaGod was actually in front of my car once the race showed the starting grid, also @Blunty075 had improved to 3rd too.
    This didnt bother me too much as my strategy was 2 stop fuel save so being in the slip stream was a benefit I also wasn't going to defend too hard from any attackers to help preserve tyres. On lap 3 i made a mistake out of T10 and Scott got past but 5 laps later he made the same mistake I did and I got back past, this left me in the lead until start of lap 10 where @Slartybar got past me into T1 after I ran a little deep. After first stop came out into a battle with @Tristan Jones, Blunty & @fezza again wasn't overly aggressive in trying to overtake and just kept in the slipstream. Jonesy pitted lap 14 and Blunty made a mistake on Lap 15 which left me and Fezza but he also pitted lap 15 so I was left in the lead, Pitted again on lap 20 and came out 4th just behind Jonesy and Controlla and slarty in the lead about 4 seconds up the road but I knew all 3 needed to stop again which Jonesy and Slarty did on lap 21 and Controlla on lap 22 and from there I just cruised to the checkered flag in first...

    Well done mate. I too wanted to do well in the last race but unfortunately it all fell apart with 2 laps to go and I was quite devestated. I was planning on doing a 1 stop and starting 3rd made this a real possibility. But for reasons beyond me I lost traction around lap 5 and caused unneeded damage to my tyres. A few laps fter my first pit it happened again at T1 and I lost a chunk of time and a number of positions. Both time I wasn't sure why because I wasn't pushing the car. Anyway I kept plodding along with the intent of not losing traction again, then with approx 5 laps to go I found myself in a good position a could quickly tell some cars in-front of me were hurting with tyres and knew I should get by a few fairly easy and finish in the top 5. I got myself into 3rd with 2 laps to go and was feeling fairly confident that I'd finish in 3rd. Unfortunately that was short lived and I was quickly eating a wall and dropping down to 9th. I nearly just quit, but I didn't want to let my team mates down any further than I already had.
    I've learn't alot during my first season and looking forward to the next season, hopefully I can perform better using everything I've learn't in Season 11.
