Thanks boys.
If I manage to get a couple of drains removed, then I'm hoping in a few days to try to gently put myself behind the wheel and pedals for a couple of laps.
55's would be a good mod to ease your way back - you can rest your braking foot as the brakes never seem to do anything. Get well soon Paul - we'll keep a slot on the grid with your name on it.

Using the SL at Reims will take your tokens down to zero. This means that you are restricted to a 10 token car at Silverstone. Ferrari Tipo 625 Vanwall VW55 Connaught Type B Gordini Type 16

Glad to see Jonny didnt get charged for the merc as he didnt start the race, thanks for the clarification of the rules, im not sure what set of rules some people are reading . Everyone is reading the same rules but it is a question of when the rule is applied. I had always assumed (wrongly) that when I committed to a car for qualifying then I had spent my tokens at that point. I think that that is as it should be but, as Phil has explained, the "point of sale" is actually at the point of crossing the start line for the race itself. This is done to make the programmer's life a little easier, which I have to accept, since I don't want the job of changing it. The rule only states that the driver has to cross the start line to gain his "start money" and makes to reference to the car that he is already sat in.

Clive, please, never take a job as a Magistrate, the prisons are too full as it is. You'd make Judge Jeffreys look like the Dalai Lama.

Everything in black and white. None of this "I didn't mean it" nonsense. If Mercedes have provided you with a car to trash in qually then sorry and all that but you have spent your money! .

" I didnt mean it" is a good defence. Their needs to be mens rea and actus rea to be guilty... lol also... "The chassis a driver uses in qualifying are disregarded when determining his token spend. Note: This is to cater for the instances when a driver either does not start or inadvertently joins with the wrong chassis and subsequently rejoins the server in another" Although I do see, and somewhat agree, with your purist logic.

Sim Racing doesn't replicate real life in all respects, it remains a game and a bit of fun. The attraction for me is that it is as realistic as possible. We have to compromise in many areas and this is just one of those occasions. The practice server is up if anyone would like to try some slipstreaming practice.

Very sorry to Hallu.For caution i start to brake earlier than my usual and out of the slip stream but,in this way,i got the opposite. My brake were red before the curve.What I'm sorry is that your race was finished,i have searced your car in my mirror to give you the position but don't more appear.

Geeeez! these people who cannot wait to see their name up in lights?? Quite enjoyed that race, but I must apologise to Enrique for the nudge in the early laps , I just ran out of brakes Grats to Yannick and his flying green Ferrari, and to Phil for many laps of slipstreaming fun. I had geared my Lancia to use the slipstream from the Merc SL's and reach 175mph+, so when they vanished I was struggling with a 5th gear that was too high

I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet. For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement). The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error. There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified. Driver | Tokens | Status | Alain Maurice | 13 | Works | bagrupp | 5 | Works | Clive Loynes | 20 | Works | Cookie | 5 | Works | Doni Yourth | 17 | Works | Dulima | 15 | Works | Enrique Farina | 15 | Works | EvilClive | 18 | Works | fpolicardi | 12 | Works | Gareth | 0 | Works | GrandPrixYannick | 10 | Works | JonnyO | 10 | Works | Phil Thornton | 15 | Works | Raoni Frizzo | 20 | Works | Albert Hallu | 10 | Privateer | bernie | 7 | Privateer | covisi2016 | 0 | Privateer | Daniel_San | 10 | Privateer | francesco | 0 | Privateer | maddog | 15 | Privateer | maestro57 | 10 | Privateer | PaulV | 10 | Privateer | Ricardo Valim da Silva | 15 | Privateer | tagomago | 15 | Privateer |
