Dark Wolf has also (politely and friendly) dropped Blackie from the team; he didn't finish most of his races and as a result we wouldn't be able to compete in the team championship at all despite two drivers who made every race. I've allowed the same for Zombie Force (if Chip cannot make enough races anymore) and for FauxTeam if need be.
1:52 Qualifying time? That was one hell of a lap, Minder. Half a minute faster than race speed :-P
Or maybe these qualifying times are not quite correct
...and the overall winner is already decided! MinDer can only reach 728 points if he gets a perfect 150 score next week, which means that for the first time since October 2017 Happy Me wins a series again! Congrats, myself!
An extremely low turnout for our Pro-am division this time, but don't let that take away the pride of getting the Pro-am title, Offcorsa! Even a perfect 150 next week wouldn't get mr_urlauber past.
In Am S0ul01 (back from pro-am) is leading too many points to Fragmonkey to be overtaken in the standings, which means the second Am title for him since October 2016! Congrats!
Only the team standings are still open, with the self-requested dropping of Mr Chip maybe being decisive in the battle! As it stands they're leading the standings by 18 points, a gap that's hard to close by runners-up Dark Wolf, while both three-headed teams are even further behind!
Only one race left, at either Watkins Glen, Chang or Barcelona GP. See you next week!
With only the team championship open for the last round, and both Zombie Force and Dark Wolf not attending in full numbers, the former kept their team lead and take the team championship! The second one for Zombie-79- (also with the same team name) and the second one for S0ul01 as well (also Modified Masters back in 2017, with Dark Wolf).

Lolwhut? Nah, only best five scores by both of us would count, only two drops for me now. There was no way we could win unless you managed a really, really high score and I improved on 138 points for the last race; I could only improve the team's max up to 12 points, which as you can see is still not enough.
Congratulations to Sven, Offcorsa, Soul, and Zombie Team as well! Well fought and well deserved titles.
Also thanks to my Faux Team! Especially Dima, for showing me, how to drive mid engine car.
First of all, I quite liked 100% damage system. It sure spiced up some races, allowed me to score some points that objectively I shouldn't have scored and ended couple of my races prematurely as well.
On the other hand, penalty system, especially on tracks like Misano and Barcelona, was quite draconian and inconsistent. At some parts of the track you could understeer into the oblivion way beyond the track limits, at some you couldn't cross the line with one wheel. Lots of people, including myself, spent crazy amount of time, serving the penalties. (this is mostly applicable to Misano)
As for team and myself, well, this whole season was quite a mixed bag, to say the least, with the first two or three rounds being an outright torture for me (especially Misano), and Dima and me getting disqualified at Paul Ricard. Salzburgring was a bright spot in an overall dim season, with its fun and flowy nature, I really loved this track and that corner in particular.
I'm also low-key happy that I don't have to drive Pagani anymore.
Don't know, where my head was, when I picked it as a drive for this season (up my ass, obviously). Never through the whole season have I felt confidence in the car and myself.
I thought, that the car would grow on me, that I would get it, but none of these things happened. A 700 HP RWD Mid engine car is just waaaay beyond my driving skills. Though, I'm glad, that I got to get out of the comfort zone with it, and got to experience a new way of driving a car.
All in all, I was not worthy of your mid engine RWD Italian power, but fuck you none the less, Pagani
Also big thanks to OldEarl, Wim, NRTH, and other people I raced with at the back. Fighting with you was the only thing, that made the season bearable for me And great thanks to Sven, for organizing all this fun shenanigans!

Well, this season reminded my of one of my earlier seasons back then with the BMW M4, the tiniest mistake and poof! car gone. And after being unable to drive that thing properly (most of the time) and being unlucky (that spectacular 300 km/h crash at Salzburgring whoaa!) there was also bad luck
Here's hoping for a better next season! Anyway, as always, Thank You, Sven (no thanks to your Ferrari )!
