| BRAZIL RACE REPORT ASF: | |
| Q: DNQ -> 10th I was typing to Cam who got disconnected before | |
| the race began and I pulled way off traffic but this stupid game | |
| puts you back on track when you go into message mode. ::) so I | |
| guess I was in plenty of people's way and it DQ'd me. | |
| R: 3rd Was past Paul, Josh, and Striker before turn 1 and went | |
| to work on Kiwi for most of the lap. I was able to get the job | |
| done by turn 4 when Kiwi ran wide, and then I went to work on | |
| Beno :-X for the next 2 or 3 laps. Tried a couple of times down | |
| the front straight but couldn't do it and then finally got right | |
| up alongside right before the front straightaway and with DRS I | |
| was able to get all the way down the straight before him and | |
| past into T1. I had a poor exit out of the sweeping turn 3 and I | |
| could see that both Red Bulls behind me were breathing down my | |
| neck. I gave Ben plenty of room into turn 4 but he didn't try | |
| it...then coming out of turn 5 I stayed all the way out to the | |
| right side of the track cus I saw Ben's arrow and his car drove | |
| directly into the left side of me and I went sideways up the | |
| entire straightaway at full speed (which shows that the crash | |
| was all due to lag and I was never on Ben's screen) and I flew | |
| right off the outside of the track and damaged the front wing. I | |
| soldiered on about 10 sec behind the crew, and pitted on lap 7 | |
| for new primes. | |
| I was gaining ground on Ben (drive-thru perhaps..?) and when the | |
| rain began to fall towards the end of the stint, I was able to | |
| easily get past him. I pitted on lap 17 for inters and Ben came | |
| out ahead again. I passed Gazza at turn 12, and then was able to | |
| easily dispose of Ben as well putting me up to 3rd. | |
| The rest of the race was just about being as smooth as I could, | |
| and although I made a few mistakes, I was faster than Macca up | |
| ahead. Wasn't able to pull it off though..Macca was too fast :P | |
| Congrats to Macca on the championship win...well-deserved! | |
| Consistency definitely won you the war this season 8) | |

| Q - 1 | |
| I've obviously been away too long. Forgot to load my setup and | |
| went out on primes with the default settings! Managed a 1:09, | |
| which i thought was pretty good. As I was driving round I was | |
| thinking that it would be quite good to be able to create a | |
| lobby where people are forced to use the default setup. In the | |
| end I had a go on options and got a 1:07.1 I think. Wasn't a | |
| great lap but good enough for pole. I always seem to have good | |
| pace at Sao Paulo. | |
| R - 1 | |
| Nice clean start, with Livo slotting in behind me. We pulled | |
| away from the field, overtaking each other a couple of times. | |
| After the first stops Livo was just ahead, but stuck behind | |
| Striker who was now leading, having stayed out a bit longer. | |
| Then as we were coming up to complete lap 7 or 8 Livo tried to | |
| go down the inside of Striker while I suppose striker was trying | |
| to get into the pits and there was contact. It all happened | |
| right in front of me but I couldn't really say if anyone was to | |
| blame. Unfortunately it put them both out of the race. I was | |
| pretty lucky not to get caught up in it myself. Not sure why it | |
| didn't result in a safety car. | |
| After that I had a very lonely race, just cruising around and | |
| making sure I had a 20+ sec lead over Macca, so that I had a | |
| pitstop in hand. I pitted one lap too late both for inters and | |
| then wets later on, but I think Macca did the same. For some | |
| reason he lost 5+ seconds when we went in for wets and my lead | |
| went up to 30 sec. I was closing up on someone for the last 5 or | |
| so laps of the race, but I didn't want to risk lapping them just | |
| in case we tripped over each other, so I just held position | |
| behind them. | |
| I'm sure it would have been a very close race all the way with | |
| Livo if he hadn't crashed out. I think I might have just had the | |
| edge in pace over him today, but I would say that! | |

| Q= 3rd R=2nd | |
| Had a pretty good qualy session and just pipped Gaz for third. | |
| First few laps was pretty intense with Gaz and I trading places | |
| a few times. Had a good run on him on the run down to turn one | |
| on the second lap but I outbroke myself and ran wide. Bugger!!! | |
| Once I got in front I was able to slowly pull away. Cant | |
| remember what lap It was but I couldnt believe my eyes when it | |
| came up on my screen that Livo and striker crashed out. That | |
| means I only needed two points to claim the championship so I | |
| just concentrated extra hard at not making a mistake. | |
| Once the rain started toward the end of my prime stint I thought | |
| about taking a gamble with tires to maybe make up some of the | |
| twenty odd second gap to nashy. In the end I thought better of | |
| it and decided to go concervative and change to the inters for a | |
| few laps followed by the full wets. | |
| Good win Nash and sorry you had the DNF Livo as you would have | |
| had the championship in the bag. | |
| To be honest Im probably more proud of holding onto the | |
| constructors without my teamate ::) | |
| Force India......................... 2012 constuctors champions | |
| 8) | |
| Does this mean I get to choose car and teamate for season two? I | |
| remember I think we agreed the drivers champion could choose his | |
| season two teamate as long as that driver didnt finish in the | |
| top three??? Also how will the rest of the cars and drivers be | |
| allocated? | |
| Thanks for the great racing throught this championship guys. | |
| Looking forward to season two.... cant wait. | |
