Congratulations to @ssman244, the winner of Div 2 Championship for Season 11.

That late race battle with @Nigel Burley was the highlight of my race. I qualified last but managed to thread my way through the carnage of the first couple of laps to make up a few positions. Those I had passed were quickly back on my tail and in my efforts to stay ahead I spun at the right hander after Casino. It was mayhem as I pressed the PS button before I could get to the ghost button so I apologise for those inconvenienced. After that only Nige was behind me but he quickly rounded me up and I was left to a lonely race trailing along at the back. Towards the end Nige pitted and I got ahead of him and that spiced things up a bit as I thought I may be able to beat him to the flag. I put my head down and went for it, immediately snagging my self on the chicane wall and giving away 5 seconds of the lead I had. Undaunted I gathered it up and pressed on but he caught me after a few laps. I raced as cleanly as possible trying not to give him an opportunity to pass but he got up the inside entering the chicane only to clatter across the ripple strips and into the wall, I managed to squeak through and gleefully headed off into the distance convinced that victory was mine in this little battle. Alas he caught me again and I was unable to hold him off as a sloppy moment from me at the chicane again had me make a very poor exit as I over steered out and he pounced. I trailed him home but it had brought some action into an otherwise very lonely race for me.

The minimum points ssman will finish with is his current 135 points from the 6 races so far. If he finishes better than 9th this weekend that will increase. Russell currently sits on 112 with 7 points his lowest score, so from five races he is at 105. With the max points available to him this weekend the best he can get is 132 (his current best five scores plus this weekends maximum possible haul). ssman does not need to race this weekend.

Bloody good effort. I'm looking forward to you taking it to the Div 1 guys next season.

You had fastest race time at Monaco and 2nd best lap time behind @StigsTC, I suspect his time was set on low fuel and fresh tyres going by his finishing position.

Well, here we are at the final League round for 2016 !
Good luck to all those drivers who are fighting it out for a championship against some very good drivers.



PIT EXIT / ENTRY : Please obey the entry line for the pits. The EXIT line however, is fine to cut as it is quite tight to follow all the way out and there is a risk of someone dropping a wheel and spinning back onto the track. Please be mindful when exiting the pits to give-way to traffic going through T1
TRACK LIMITS : All the tarmac is fine to use here. The main places that come to mind are the loop, and the points of the circuit where the shorter track hairpins are.
DRIVING STANDARDS : Be patient and remember it's better to give up a spot and continue the fight, then make contact defending, have it all turn pear shaped, and have to fight your way back after avoidable contact.
CONTACT : If you push someone offline for your advantage, you will be expected to redress, and give the position back. Again, use your heads and give room where needed............Don't use other cars as a brake ! If you are mid /back of the pack, remember to brake earlier to avoid contact.
RETURNING TO TRACK : If you do happen to go off track, please use your heads when returning. Stay offline until you are back up to race speed so you don't compromise other drivers.
BLUE FLAGS : A reminder that if you are about to be lapped, its is good racing etiquette to move to the side where possible to let the leaders through.
PROTESTS : As always, if you feel you have reason to protest, save your replay, and then contact the room captains and the mod team, Myself or emmo46.....DO NOT blow up in the chat room, or on the forum.
RAGE QUITTING : A reminder that if you rage quit the room, you will receive 0 points, not be able to use it as your drop round and it wont count as a round of your 4 needed to be eligible for the PAGNIAN prize. If you have to stop, park up in the pits and let the race run down without leaving so it doesn't glitch the other drivers.
SWERVING : A reminder that swerving to try to stop another driver gaining the draft is NOT permitted. You may change your line once, and that's it.
