    What's strange is the penalty applied of 24 seconds which drops him down to 11th, just outside the points. If it was 25 seconds it would have been another place lower. So I'm thinking race control stripped him of any points but limiting the pain to that.

    Pit-lane time is different based on track since it's based on the physical length. For instance, Sanya last year saw the drive-through time set at 16 seconds.

    Sad news about one of the commentators, Bob Varsha.
    Wishing him a speedy recovery.

    Just watched the highlights of it there now. It was a good race. Some nice racing up the front for the lead and plenty of racing in the midfield too. There was 7 cars in this that did not finish two of them being Porsche which is not good. Not sure why all 7 were out but Jean Eric Vergne had a damaged car and created a lot of smoke lol. Another car lost its whole front wing so I am guessing he did not finish either.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Maybe they are right but thats a good month and a half away. A lot can happen in that time. Maybe it will not be as prevaliant by then and they might be able to stall it.

    Peace and long life.

    If it costs the series a lot for the backend logistics, flights, hotels, and it's whether to pull the plug now, then I'd understand that. It's not a series like F1 that can hammer the country for not holding a race weekend. It's better FE call it now for all interested parties.

    Heavy impact by Muller into the barrier on the first few laps. Safety car with train of cars sent through pit lane.

    Great start by Mitch Evans too.

    Useless fúcking cúnts at the BBC bumping off the race to show bloody snooker on the Red Button :mad::mad::mad:

    Mitch grabs his and Jag's second win. Behind, the typical mayhem ensued.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,746 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    End to end drama, which is totally the norm. Worth a full watch.

    Didnt realise Vandoorne was leading the championship before, that's how tight the field. Great race behind Evans. Sims from 18 to 5? Just the attack mode cause more havoc than needed.

    You won't be disappointed

    This BBC2 pre-race coverage is so bland, and almost dismissive of how much people know about the series...

    Ill only watch it on Virgin Media. They've shown it since season 1 so, as much as I hate them, I do want to give them a viewing figure for it

    That was quiet a good race. Plenty of action and passing too. Wow Vergne and Buemi really cut that close with there energy. I think Gunter messed up a bit with his race strategy and lost the win because if it. I have to say Jean Eric Verne would get my driver of the day coming from 11th to 2nd. Well done to Antonio Felix De Costa for winning.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I did enjoy when it was on VM2/VM3; but after they decided it was only going to be available behind a €20/30/whatever-it-is-per-month paywall, I can't be arsed even acknowledging them as a broadcaster...
