What's happened to the results? I see that some of us are +1 or +2. Did someone leave the series or are these the points to be added for Pole and fastest lap?

Points for pole and fast lap.

Not all points are counted at this moment because the driver has to score points (=75% of the distance) for that.
So it is not easy for the moderation team ...

After 5 races, we must add four points for Axel who didn't finish any race, and one point for Ricardo.
And moderation for Zeltweg race is to be finalised (only race with a reported incident).

Why am I showing nil points for Norisring ?

[Rainier]

Why am I showing nil points for Norisring ?

Because 39/53 < 75%

One more lap, it would have been OK

But my laps were longer than the leader

Finally, you did it during the race.
Thanks to let me pass

DD, grats on the win.

Philippe, a well deserved 2nd. I was driving like a donkey and could not concentrate.

I'll put this one behind me. I won't be at the next round as I'll be away. Have fun.

[Pepe Higdon]

For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to take the BRM out on this long, fast track, but I quickly discovered that it was going to be significantly slower than the top three cars. Still, the appeal was that it was an easy track to learn (if not for me to drive) and I'd have the BRM out of the way for the remainder of the season. The object would be simply to finish. To that end I didn't even bother to qualify, quietly taking my place at the rear of the field and trusting to attrition to move me up the ladder. It did that, taking me eventually from 15th to 7th.

These kinds of tracks are difficult for me. With so few opportunities, you really need to get great exits onto the long straights, something that I usually achieve more in the breach than the observance. But I at least didn't embarrass myself much, so that's a pretty fair accomplishment in and of itself.

Yes I thought I would get a nice tow from you but not to be .

The Eagles were flying high here but not as high as D.C's Honda or my Fezzer when we collided in the Esses . I had lost the backend , slid sideways into the wall then bounced around like a Pinball machine on steroids .
Poor DC had nowhere to go except head on into the Ferrari . the resulting collision sent us both rocketing skywards , I was fortunate enough to land the right way up with all wheels still attached and ready to go ,( though my engine was never the same after )  not so Dave had who landed upside down in a smoking heap .

Behold the joys and tribulations of GPL crash boxes 

By the time I had found the way back to the track I had lost another place to Billy .

you don't have to go into high gears. you have to change gears before you get to the switch, long before.

Ola DuLima, untouchable.

Pete, congratulations anyway,
I didn't weigh much with my honda, car that I hate.
You were faster in eagle, I was lucky not to make any mistakes, which allowed me to finish second.

Congratulations David, congratulations to all the finishers,
track which seems easy, but which requires a lot of concentration
