    Thanks for the season all. Happy with my standing considering it's my first Sim outing.

    Rolz, Godzilla, Parkour that was a epic first lap, the 4 of us shoulder to shoulder down the back straight into the final corner. :D

    Sorry again Bogor for hitting you in T1 twice :(
    Pretty happy with this first season, went from being 5 laps down at Spa to only 2 laps down at Monza. Also feel like it was the hardest possible car to learn the game etc in, so I'm fairly happy with my progress and result.

    Looking forward to next season :D

    Congratulations to Shaun on an awesome race win and championship.
    Had the ultimate start to the race making a few spots at T1 and then overtaking Marty for the lead into T2 .
    Was in a 1 second battle with Marty for about ~32laps, which was hectic as its pretty difficult to pass at Monza.
    Pitted on lap 17 and made a small mistake on my outlap which gave 1st place back to Marty.

    Just before the second pit stop I got in a tangle with Rolz, defending at T8-9, and unfortunately I came off second best. Looking back at the replay, maybe i should of said something to get the position back but these things happen;)

    For some reason my car was hungry for fuel and i had to pit on lap 52 for a couple of litres to finish that race. I gifted Parkour 4th place.

    I am so kind.

    Well firstly thank you all for taking part this season! Your patience with me just getting up to speed on making sure servers were up and functioning. Felt under a bit more pressure than the fun run I did prior being official ROOZ banner :)

    Big shout out to @QC. for having a great platform already built so it was just a matter of making sure driver skins and tracks were loaded, hope to see you at least back racing some time soon mate :)
    Also thanks to @marty for track testing, opinions on how to manage plus showing me how the entry.ini looks for locking in skins to drivers!

    Kudos to @Shaun_A for a strong performance this season! This last race certainly showed u had the car dialled dropping back as far as you did to then come back and win!

    I haven't had a chance to check replay on this one as I was wondering what it looked like... if guilty of infringement I'd be all to happy to take a points deduction... will try to check around lunch time.

    All the first season drivers with us, thanks for joining! Hope you had a top time and hope to see you next season!

    Whilst we wait on news for season 15 I'll get a fun run series going using stracker as the championship tracker, worked well over the S13/S14 break.

    Will aim for the Ford Escort at Vallalunga to start off with... it seems to be a fun combo on a few public servers...
    Plus I might have a decent setup already, but at least being fun run all to happy to share on stracker for all :)

    Thanks again!! :D

    Thanks Rolz, all good mate, don't worry these kind of incidents happen. Its a part of racing, unless you want to take points off yourself! hahah

    Thanks to all the admins/contributors. Was all kinds of awesomeness this season.

    4 prety disasterous races out of 7 for me ending with a random disconnection from the server on lap 25, internet stayed live and discord had no issue but seemed to be a moment of a bit too much packet loss through the modem and that was that. Bet Rolz was happy I got out of his way :)

    Lots of good racing through the season though as well. Hopefully the next one will go better

    Got pole and a good start clean start to t1, still left plenty of room for anyone inside even as there was no overlap get whacked by Shaun and damage that slowed my pace for the rest of the race so well done.



    Not a great way to lose another championship as its been 2 of the 3 Ive been in here, hit by the guy Im racing for it in the last race 0% my fault. The one before totally wrecked my car so this was not as bad but still definatly effected the result.

    If he had damage too is not my issue as it was in no way my fault yet nothing I could have done to avoid my car being damaged.

    Thanks all for the season was fun to drive some proper race cars.

    Front aero and side damage that I didnt start the race with, and wouldnt have had if I didnt get hit. ;)

    It is what it is but a frustrating season all up with many races getting hit by others in more of them then not including 2 of the races I started from pole. I made the one contact with Carlos last race that was my fault but all other contacts nothing I could have done as you dont drive the other guys car. :D

    yeah I just missed u after that T1 incident Marty must have been so close!! I also went the inside then to miss the cars... the body repair was pretty quick in the pits when doing tire/fuel change.

    My race on Monday night was a mixed bag and I think I paid for a lack of practice running in race trim. I was happy with qual picking up 7th. A good start found me down the middle approaching T1 so I had danger from both sides. At T1 I got a tap to the front which unluckily pushed me onto the T2 'sausage' which flicked me into a 180 spin (no-one's fault). That dropped me to 17th (2nd last) which was rather annoying. At least I had a long race to try to recover. I had to contend with aero damage for the first stint and the car felt pretty ordinary. I went off the road several times, one of which was a nasty shunt with the wall outside of T10. I now had quite serious damage but I decided against an early pitstop as the car was still OK to drive if I was extra careful.

    Even so I picked up some spots due to other drivers having their own problems and when I pitted on lap 18 I was in P12. Fixed the aero damage and carried on trying to be consistent but I couldn't make up much ground. I was hoping I might move up after the 2nd pitstop but it wasn't to be. In the last few laps I started to make ground on Carlos and I just caught up to him at the end of the final lap but could not quite get past by the line. I finished 9th so not a bad recovery I guess but there were also some drivers running further up the field who had issues which gave me a few spots. Finished 7th for the championship I think. Shout out to the lapped cars as they seemed to do a good job moving over with less damage to their own races from what I could see.

    Congrats to Shaun for taking the win (and the championship). Bad luck to Marty after coming so close - must have had a target on the back of your car ;). Well done Rolz on the podium in both the race and the championship (TTB4E!).

    Well done to the newbies this season - its great to see more good drivers on the grid.

    So another great ROOZ season comes to an end. Hurry up with the next one please! :)

    That would have to be the best race I have ever driven. I felt as if everything was against me from the start as my computer crashed right before qual, leaving me with little time to post a time. I was lucky enough to get on the front row to hopefully get a good start.
    That good start wasn't so great, after contact with Marty at t1, I then went off at the fast chicane when Rolz went down the inside. My car was just ugly to drive and felt I had gone the wrong way with strategy. After a close call with Carlos at t1 and falling further back from the lead, I felt my race was over. Once I was almost 17 secs behind the lead cars, my car changed and started to get better lap after lap and not before long I was gaining time on the leaders. They pitted and I stayed out for another 4 or so laps due to my strategy. After I had pitted, I was just under 10 secs behind the leaders and every lap after that I was gaining on them.
    The leaders began pitting for their 2nd stop as I had gotten within 1.5 secs and believed that I could possibly jump them in the pits. I pitted with Rolz and came out directly on his tail, just in front of Marty. Rolz went wide straight out of the pits and that allowed me to get past and focus on putting down some good consistent times. This was initially difficult as my heart rate was through the roof, felt like it wanted to jump out of my chest, and my left leg was shaking violently, making it very difficult to brake the car. Once I was around 1 sec in front, I calmed down and was able to put in fastest lap after fastest lap before crossing the line in first about 8 secs in front.
    I still can't believe how the race turned out and I'm convinced my front end damage actually helped my car.
    Congrats to everyone for a fantastic season, the turn out was really consistent and very competitive throughout the field. I will thank Rolz for being the server god, making sure everything was setup correctly.
    Also well done to my new team for putting in a strong season and pulling out the season win?

    I finally got one, so think I should retire now ;)

    Fitting that last round top 3 finishing order equals championship standing, Gratz @marty ever present at the top, of course @Shaun_A for the finishing on a high with a round win and FL to claim the season win, and fellow TTB member @Rolz rocking the podium first time since we merged divisions, as well as taking on team captaincy and server setup duties this season = Tri-winning ;)

    Congratulations Shaun, I thought Marty had it in the bag when I saw you in-front of me. Unbelievable recovery :thumbsup:
    I had an absolute shocker at Monza, being lapped for the first time (this season ;)) wasn't the way I hoped to finish the season off. I kept losing the rear through Ascari and had some moments at T7, I hadn't felt that uncomfortable in the car since Silverstone.
    I was hoping Godzilla would have a shocker so he wouldn't overtake me in the championship but never hoped he'd disconnect :unsure:
    Thanks everyone who voted for this car, I seriously enjoyed it and the F1 tracks....wish it could keep going :cry:
    By far my best season yet (got a podium :eek:) although the absence of Koastr, Ed and Cherno are to thank for that.
    Great to see so many people racing, you guys are why Monday is my favorite day of the week so thanks for the awesome season.
    Big thanks to Rolz, he put in a lot of effort particularly with his Turtles.
    Finally just like to say.....
    WOOOOO P5!!!!!
    (sorry, probably the highest I'll ever finish :laugh:)
